Show TRUE UNANIMITY there are as many forms and degrees of union and unanimity among men as there are forms of organization and diversities versi ties of purpose and each one or group in its sphere claims this as the sine qua non or acme of perfection howbeit the elements of which this unanimity is composed are very diversified as to value and the special grade to which the few or the multitude may belong is an important thing for rudi or automatic or mechanical unanimity is one thing the unanimity of intelligence is far dif different lerent the one is acted upon the other acts the one is comparatively inert the other is a mighty forced force the one is material the other is the union of body and spirit or the opposites of a subjective muscle and an active brain one being the body the other the living soul uncultured labor represents the one active interest in the thing being or to be done is the other probably the inertia of the one has its mission and uses the latter surely has mechanical force brute force mental force constitute the trinity of forces men see everywhere in life individuals are subjects of or leaders in all these directions admiration goes out toward each as onlookers may be organized and most are satisfied apparently to remain where they are half drifting without protest or hope ot of being any thing more more others there are who sense in in great degree the essential value of the lattur latter and with prophetic spirit look for its increase in believing that that power of soulful intelligent unanimity yet of the future is and has to be the undoubted lever of progress and the handmaid of perfection in all departments of or belonging to a better and higher order of human life one more in harmony with divine purpose than cold mechanical outer obedience can produce it was said to a laborer in a very large industrial concern who had suggested in difficulty a personal thought you are not paid to think you are paid to work and so it comes to pass that labor becomes automatic as much so almost as the machinery by which it is suf surrounded founded confined to one in ing in one position responsible only for that tbt which it is placed laced to supervise or control can it ae be wondered that embodied labor becomes dw dwarfed aried subdued and that love and interest in the occupation or concern is deadened or lost all large factories foundries mines corporations thus worked are worked by machines or slaves the more passive and mechanical men so employed become the better are they liked as a rule and to know the purport the progress the profit the success of the institution hii with h which they are associated is deemed unnecessary curiosity or inquiry is looked upon as crimi quite as in in suf lerable emble from a living machine as from the engine that moves the mighty works the character of an army is is just as mechanical as labor obedience is the great prerequisite of discipline and war the private soldier is a machine be may know the routine of daily duty but in action the officials only know of all military movements and progress the causes ot of the war its purposes methods and measure of success are out of the purview of the private and soldierly heroism finds its highest type in such episodes as the charge of the light brigade in the defiles of balaklava when into the valley of death rode the six bund hundred redl patriotism does not serve to bear or break the shock of battles even providence is deemed to be on the side of the heaviest battalions and yet arat armed d conflict has at times proved the superiority of the intelligent few against the many who fought as professionals professional and made their attack with the precision of machinery the need for intellectual or mental unity on a broad scale is jowas before being exhibited by the incoming president of the united states in the formation of his cabinet he is seeking far and near for those working units which will secure a working whole and so strongly is the propriety of this union sensed that on every shore where the political waters of national power break the ripple of this wave will be sensibly felt president elect mckinley cannot at lord from his bis standpoint to have other than friends as workers coworkers co with him in any department of political influence or power and no democrat or any other embodied advocate of political heterodoxy to him can expect to receive even ot of the crumbs that fall from the mas masters table fl unanimity of sentiment and purpose must be the pole star guiding any party to its desired success and to ignore this as one ot of the fundamental safeguards would be as suicidal as un wise this may not in the present state of political experiment and transition imply that there is a perfection of truth in republicanism or that there is i is no truth in any aby other party but the exigencies of the times need that unanimity of policy thought and conclusion should carry the sway wherever it carries the responsibility from rom a religious standpoint a grand illustration of this feature is to be found in the catholic church since its inception and before it had become solidified as now it claimed a purpose it had a policy it worked for supremacy and power whether outsiders accept its theories or dogmas is not the ques tion it has worked for this its priesthood its orders its members have worked for this all the resources of sacrifice diplomacy and organization have bad the one united purpose growth aggrandizement and universality to tins tais celibacy persistence literature and education have been made subservient all things have been handmaids hand maids and auxiliaries to the first and last intention it is for the very same purpose that unanimity has been urged upon the latter day saints not only because it was inherent in the system but it was a means to an end and while probably much of this has been assumed and where nonexistent non existent has been created or expected by education and experience from the beginning in tile the leading working responsible quorums quor tims of the church I 1 it has has been a positive an in ble element of its life and ana all success suc cees in mormonism however howe verg as a system this has been ur urged ed in every rank grade and phase of afe the organization and it has hai never desired the negation ol of work ersin the factory or the mine the mechanical adherence of the simple worker under an employer or a corporation po ration has not been its ideal it has claimed intelligent interest from both rank and file in that building which it deemed its special mission to erect every man was to be a living stone every man or woman was not called upon to super vise the whole but to every one male and female young and old rich and poor it was insisted upon that they must know why they were working the purpose of that work the progress that was being made and far as possible IN familiarize themselves with the final dal out come of all labor required or performed this interest intensified by experience and testimony gives each one to know that he be is not only working for himself but that he be is really a coworker co worker with god and that from jesus christ the elder brother through all the grades of authority and priesthood he is an individual entity consecrated and set part apart for everlasting work as well as for eternal exaltation this honors individuality recognizes diversity of gifts sanctifies sanctified all effort but distinguishes between pretense and J power between disintegration and unity between human thought and divine revelation and insists as a frere tor for personal appreciation and honor that the aspirant must honor all other others in their place and in their vocation and calling this is far more broad generous and ennobling than the stultification of man hood under human rule under iron discipline ci under fealty to undemonstrated political theory or under the dominion ot of which denies fo the laity the right of private judgment and con fines its priestly function to a very limited even if educated few it is through the cohesion and crystallization ot of this modern lorce this revealed order that the world will be set straight that errors will be corrected that wrongs will be redressed that usurpation will be displaced and that selfishness will eventually be overthrown ane progress may seem to be slow he spirit of the world may even seem to be increasing in the hearts of many but it will be found that whosoever shall tall fall this stone of power shall be broken and upon whomsoever it shall fall they shall be ground to powder it is not in the program that divine approbation shall sanction ici injustice ustice or that any can claim anto autocratic cratic rule the welfare of the humblest member of the church is as dear to heaven as any other and mayhap it will be found true that it would be better tor for any offending one of these little ones that he had nad a millstone tied around his neck and a nd be cast into the depths of the sea the highest salvation cannot will not come to those who only seek to save themselves while every man and woman choin the spirit of the gospel with true unanimity seeks to save others will most assuredly in that very labor save themselves occasional |
