ON WAGES
“The economic principle of wages is that, they will always tend to go down to the-' point where a man can just iliivie and nothing more. If you are an economist pure and simple you say: That is the law of wages; that must. be the determining principle of wages. But that wage-earner and thejt wage-payer brothers, none the less because the -employer has great command over hi-s workmen; and determination of wages must not be merely an economic -law; it must be a moral law, a spiritual law. Christ mu'st come in and determine for us what wages are to be; and so with every part of the economic law; the matter is not settled by quoting, an economic pdincip\Le.”—-Dr R. F. Horton, in recent sermon rdported in the “Christion World Pulpit.”
