A WORLD
REBUILT
% #
By the Golden Rule
not by the rule of Gold
THIRTY denominations of the Church are uniting in
a simultaneous campaign in the week of April 25th
May 2nd.
They are uniting because the task before the Church is
too great for any one denomination; because there must be
no duplication of effort; no waste.^
These churches know that the world needs many things;
but it needs Faith most of all.
They know that there can be no final solution of our
economic problems that is not a spiritual solution, based
on the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Golden Rule.
They have had the courage to survey the whole task,
and to ask for a budget large enough to sustain (l). the
work abroad, (2) the work at home including the church’s
part in the huge task of Americanization, (3) the colleges
and (4) hospitals supported by the Churches, (5) the reli
gious training of the young, and to provide (6) a living^
wage for the Church’s ministers.
The budget is large in the aggregate; yet
if each person who loves America would
increase his contribution by only a few
dollars the whole amount would be
easily subscribed.
We/ace the task of rebuilding the world.
Let the cornerstone be a strong and vital
church in every American community;
and the measuring rod by which the
builders build must be the Golden Rule.

j GRAMMATICALLY W RONG, YET—
Practically all my life, but more
specially in the south, I have heard
| the expression ‘‘I will try and come,”
j “I will try and do it,” etc.
How often have I listened to those
grand old characters of our race who
j are now sadly and all too swiftly
' passing away, standing on the door
steps of a still more aged parent and
j saying, "Well, mother, I will try and
come back and see you tomorrow.”
And how well do I know thdt that
mother, her dear old body racking
in pain, rested assured* that the aged
i daughter would be there on the mor
i row to administer again to her such
! comforts as her scant store supplied,
i Oh, is it true or is it mere fancy that
: that pure and simple honesty is pas
sing from us with the passing oi
such characters? But 1 digress.
Such expressions are shocking to
philologists. They are not most
pleasing to some of us who are not
experts in language. Yet, like many
errors, they contain valuable lessons.
The substituting of the conjunction
'.and” for the usual introductory
word "to” before the infinitive may
have come about as a means of ex
pressing the determination of the
speaker. It may have been one of
those unconscious and unacountable
happenings—adjuncts to our language

| that are interpolated to express ideas
i more forcibly, more succinctly than
the strict adherence to philological
rules will permit. Variously they are
called eolloqualisms, dialects, slang.
“1 will try and”—applied to the
student struggling with a problem, a
curriculum, a course of study has
J more promise of success than “I will
try to.” It shows determination, it
! binds the student to a definite end.
! Virtually he cannot cease until he
: has accomplished that for which be
i set out.
The young man entering upon a
business career may be guided by the
[ same force. Does he see abstacles?
i Do disappointments come thick and
fast? Are his ideals becoming en
| shrouded in clouds of doubt? Let
him say in the darkest moments, "I
will try and—”
The sentiment of this grammatical
error, good for individuals, is just
as applicable to the race. Our his
tory is resplendent with the annals
of those who have 'tried and—.” May
we of this day profit by the exper
ience of those who have gone before.
In all of life’s purposes the ’’try
ands—” have vastly outstrippel the
"try to’s.” RUSSEL TAYIOR.
