Show Some More of What's Wrong. The Hope Lies In Practical Brotherhood CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR Law and order ! Are they the answer to. the troubles of the world today ? Can't we see by now that they alone will never rid the world ofits evils? Can we not yet understand that no matter of 'man-made laws or no quantity of force man might conceive can ever give us the peace or security that all people of the world desire so much, much less free-. dom or happiness anywhere ? We have put a lot of trust in these things but just what have they accomplished? Consider how the integrity of the "home," foundation of our American life, has been dissolved; how prohibition was erased by bootlegging ; how labor is being strangled by its -own labor unions; how all governments in time resolve into more politics than justice; how we are fighting now to black markets ; how youthful vandalism is destroying com-sa've com-sa've what we fought for in the first war ; how our present-day present-day rationing is largely nulified by lack of co-operation and munity peace, and the story goes on and on. What's wrong? Is it not that we have not had faith in the right things ? There can never be peace or security in the world without unity. And there never can be unity without with-out love. Love alone gives understanding to people's hearts and minds and makes them one in purpose and thought. Love is the force that awakens the desire in hearts for good and beautiful living. It is the quality that causes one to choose the way of peace and security for- all if informed as to what those ways are. Thus brotherhood is the only salvation of the world. Brotherhood is the spirit that will cause the farmers of the world to raise all the food within their power. It is the spirit that will make the workers of all industries feel a sacred obligation to produce up to the maximum. It is the spirit that will cause the commercial world to respect ceiling ceil-ing prices and ration laws, and be willing to gain a little less that all may be more secure at the termination of the war. It will cause government and military officials to exercise extreme efficiency and economy that the world may not be crushed tomorrow by today's debt. Brotherhood is the spirit that will bring all those who believe .... to love our neighbors as ourselves. |
