Excerpt from Incentives in Modern Life: Are the Motives of Jesus Practicable in Modern Business and Professional Life?A recent scientific bulletin estimates that three billion slaves would be required in the United States to do the work now being done by machines. It is further estimated that the mechanical power available is equivalent to fifty servants for every man, woman and child in this country. A huge turbine now produces energy equal to the labor of strong men.And yet this generation, which has fallen heir to incalculable energy and countless labor saving devices, is witnessing the Spectacle of multitudes of people who are hungry and ill clad. Not only in the backward nations of the earth is this true, but across Europe there is appalling destitution. Even in our own land, the most favored of all the earth, large numbers of people are lacking in the necessities and minimum comforts of life. At a conservative estimate there are several million persons in the United States who are living in poverty or on the border of destitution.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
