1 Peter 3 ; 10.
Away back in the days of the Rppian empire, when the
Caesars were worded by a steadily rising tax rate and a slow
stagnation of business, the populace was kept quiet by a
judicious mixture of bread and games. The government
undertook to feed the hungry, bringing in great shiploads of
wheat from Alexandria. And since Rome was full of un
employed, great gladiatorial shows were staged frequently
in the coliseum, to keep the proletariat's mind off its troubles.
. The upshot, as everybody knows, was that nobody worried1
abput anything and the cmpjre finally collapsed of its own
weight.
All this ancient history is mentioned here because there
are people wjio think something similar is happening in
America today. A (president of one of our large universities
,tol a teachers' convention tlje other day that right now we
are in a fair way to slide down to the old Roman level.' On
one hand we have vast masses of people whose first interest
is in getting enough j;o eat, and who are looking to the fed
eral government to meet that need. 0n the other, we have
developed a craving for a circus type of entertainment
world series games, great football contests, aberrations such
as marathon dance contests, crooners, fan dancers and pro
fessional boxing and wrestling mutches. The result, says
the professor, is that we are apt to forget tho values that
really matter self-denial, service, idealism, a taste for
literature and art, and so on.
There is no question that you could make out a good case
for pessimism, if you chose. , We do support a lot of "enter
tainments" that seem to have been drawn up by and for
morons. And yet it is very easy to assume that these things
matter more than really is the case.
There is plenty of froth on the surface of American life,
heaven knows. But beneath it all there flows a swift, deep,
and powerful current an awareness of life's real problems,
a determination to do something effective about them, an
idealism that will respond whenever anyone makes a proper
appeal to it. . . . .
The biggest mistake anyone could make today would be
to assume that the great mass of the populace is heedless
and flippant. Underneath, there is a driving force and a
seriousness of purpose that never should lie forgotten.
