Mr. F. B. Smith on Post-War Needs: The New Standards for Judging Men Mr. Fred B. Smith, representative of the World's Alliance of Churches and a trustee of the Federal Board of Churches, was speaker at last Friday's tiffin meeting of the Pan-Pacific Association and the American Association of China. Mr. V. G. Lyman, associate general manager of the Standard Oil Ca., presided over a gathering of nearly 100 guests, After being introduced by Mr. Lyman, Mr. Smith said:—would refer you to the shifting scenes now going on in economic world where everything is being reorganized. This re-organization came following the great war; it was born on November 11, 1918. God pity the man who tries to carry into the new order principles that were in vogue before 1918, who tries to carry canned goods into the reorganized world. Canned goods, canned politics and canned theology are all thrown aside. I wish there was a law in the ecclesiastical world whereby we could chloroform the ancient theologists and start a new theology. A new standard is going to be the basis of the new world. This new standard does not mean how much money a man can make but how much service he can render to the community. The day will come when the question will be asked 'What did that man do during his lifetime?' and no notice will taken of the clink of his money bags."
