A Remarkable New Book
T
' : !
History, Fact Stranger Than Fiction
A Volume That Will Evoke Thought in All Nations
Words from lis title page: 'Bethel said Aurora, an Experience in Commonism as
Practical Christianity, with Some Account of Past and Present Ventures in Collec
tive Living, by Robert J. Hendricks."
The average man who thinks on such things believes a near approach to the mil
lenium is more than a million years in the future, because, as he sees it, that space
of time will be required to bring about radical changes in human nature to banish
selfishness and self seeking from the heart of the race.
This book relates the historically true story of a. community in Missouri, Wash
ington and Oregon, starting in Pennsylvania, that in one short generation drove out
as with a whip of scorpions the last eidolon, the remotest vestigial remnant of sel
fishness and self seeking.
How was wrought this miracle of a miilenium?
By obeying the Ten Commandments,
notably the Ninth.
By strictly observing; the fundamental
Law of Love.
By putting into practice the precepts of
the Sermon on the Mount, including the
Golden Rule.
By following the Diamond Rule, abso
lutely necessary complement for the suc
cessful life of a community in which prop
erty and labor and their usufruct are held
in common.
By adhering to the implications of the
words of the Master at Jacob's Well.
By holding inviolate the lessons of the
Parable of the Good Samaritan.
By supporting the statute which as it
werei formed the foundation stones of the
structure of their federation of freedom
from worry and want and worldly care,
"From every man according to his capacity,
to every man according to his needs."
By keeping to the principle involved in
the affirmative answer to the first recorded
social question of history, put to Cain, first
son of earth's first parents, by the God of
Creation Himself "Am I my brothers
keeper?"
By laboring, day after d4y, to fulfill the
meaning of the Perfect Parable.
By performing the requisites of the
highest article in their own Constitution,
adopted when they began community living,
'to do good to the poor."
In short by practicing Christianity; not
merely professing it, as the mounting mil
lions before them had done; and have con
tinued doing up to now.
-
There are many golden threads running through this
remarkable and refreshing book, arresting, compelling,
gripping. They will hold the interest of the thoughtful and
even the casual reader, everywhere, from the first to the
last line. "
One of these golden threads is an accurate account of '
the historic plains covered wagon funeral procession.
It was the only one of its kind. It could not have been
duplicated. Another like it in setting can never be.
In a brief paragraph: 50,000 anxious home seekers were
ready to start toward the Oregon Country in 1855. Indian
troubles held them back through warnings of U. S. dragoons.
Only two wagon caravans passed the cordon one the Keil
colony train, the other captained by a man named Jackson,
from Tennessee; each bearing about 250 souls. The Jackson
train was utterly destroyed by provoked and avenging In
dians. The Keil train sang its unharmed way through the
very jaws of death, passing and contacting many thousands
of painted and hostile savages. Like it were enshrouded by a -pillar
of cloud by day and illumined by a pillar of fire by
night, the body of Willie'Keil, in a plains hearse, was as the
Ark of the Covenant in that other wilderness journey, for
the strangest of all the uncounted covered wagon companies
that .followed the Star of Empire in its "westward course--the
most remarkable hegira in all history. Willie Keil died
at Bethel May; 1, 1855. Dust was returned to dust the day
after Christmas at Wiflapa, over 2000 miles away.
There is another golden thread in the plodding MULE
TEAM that drew the plains hearse and lives in the colony's
sagas; its historicity confirmed by the records in the big
vaults of the U- S Court in! Portland, Oregon; and another,
the remarkable settlement of the unusual estate left by Dr.
KeU, leader; its accuracy attested in the same manner-tjruly (
a romance stranger than fiction, set down in cold legal phrase.
New trails in American if not in world 'jurisprudence
were blazed thereby a high mark reached in freedom from
Tthe colony cardinal sins of selfishness and self seeking, never
matched in all the annals of time.
