THINGS AND MEN
There is no Value in things except as they are of use to man. Once the system has got on the top of us so that we have iio longer the freedom left for men to choose their manner of conducting it and the course which seems to them to have most claiim to their allegiance, we are living on a sub-human level. It is because tis way of dealing with the question starts from consideration of citizens, whether employed or not, as an essential factor in the welfare of the community, that I think it is fundamentally Christian. The plea is that we should think first not of making productio nprofitable, but of making produce marketable. If the details of such a scheme fall outside the area of Christianity its principled do not. For we are being most truly Christian if we start dealing not with goods but with men, and seek to provide for them, the richest possible human life in the closest possible, human fellowship.’’--Archbishop Temple.
