"State legislators would meet, not to see how much there is in it for
themselves, in passing laws, but would pass laws in the interest of the
masses. All forms of corruption would cease, and bribery would
disappear, because all are looked upon as one, and that one is Divine;
and _Greed_ cannot live where that thought predominates. Congress,
instead of passing laws in the interest of bankers, railroad
corporations, manufacturers, and trust companies, would be there for
one purpose, that of making laws in the interest of the whole nation,
and what is known as class legislation would disappear.
"All persons engaged in adulterating merchandise would cease their
disgraceful and dishonest business. For, realizing their Divine nature,
they would only make pure articles, and everything would be what it is
marked. All business would be done with honesty of purpose and love of
justice; in fact the character of the Divine would be seen in all
dealings. No longer would the great dailies be owned by the money power,
and intellectual prostitutes write the editorials of their columns,
blinding and deceiving the minds of the people that the classes may
fleece them. In short the ethics of Christ would enter into the
industrial and social systems. Usury would be abolished. Instead of
having Christ so much in prayer and song, in poetry and prose, in marble
and on canvas, we would have him in the halls of legislation, in
railroad operations, in manufactories, in stores, on farms and in the
home. In short he would enter into all the walks of life, and men's
actions would be governed by his teachings, viz.: 'Whatsoever ye would
that men should do unto you do ye also unto them; and as we all wish to
have love and justice shown us, realizing our Divine nature, we would
show it unto others.
