BSaH C f . BRADSHAW DIS CUSSES PREPAREDNESS , . ---- r-------- T o the E ditor, y It M ens to roe that Rev. L ov e land is on the w ron g track in som e of the remarks reputed to him in B the r “ Portland •-* • papers o f y\ December 20 « A d 'S !. In the first place he assumes that the w o M should be divided up into arttikial divisions, and that one division should prepare X t o defend itself against the en. croachm ents o f each o f the others. I '1" not find in his printed remarks any q u ota tion ' from the Bible, justifying such a / > position, and I d o n o t remem- .]y: ber seeing any such argum ent in the New Testam ent. Since he * / says th at the church “ ought t o ” indorse a "p ro g ra m o f prepara tion for the defense of this na tion ” it is bu t fiur t o presume th a t he speaks from a religious standpoint. Here are a few qu ota tion s from the New Testam ent th at indicate t o m y m ind th at the a b ov e line o f reasoning is incorrect. “ T hou ahalt n o t kill,” " T h o u Shalt love th y neighbor as thyself.” " L o v e y o u r eneynics,” "T h ey th at take the sw ord shall perish w ith.the s w o r d .” P rom these and other teachings it seems t o me that the field o f thecbnrch is the w hole w orld instead of any local division marked o ff by im aginary b ou n d a ry lines. H um anity is w orld-w ide, and practically the same in each and every nation, ■ a ) Christianity should be the same. They should know no boun dary lines, geographically. Neither Jesus' n or any of the apostles show ed any regard for artificial boun dary lines, nor did any o f .them hint by w ord o r action th a t tem poral pow ers should by any means endeavor t o defend themselves against other tem poral pow ers. Farther, it is well know n th a t nearly all, i f s o t all o f them suffered m arty- d om rather than subm it t o the #M N jlsp?'oi tem poral rulerr. Arm ed defdbsc w a s unkndwn to them . It is safe t o presume th at Jesas could have destroyed his enemies b y super-natural means, b a t such w as n ot done because it w a s outside the province of Christianity. Perhaps the brother, like the w riter, has had considerable dif ficulty, tryin g to reconcile P atrotism and C h r i s t i a n i t y . Patriotism as generally under à stood , cannot be reconciled w ith Christianity. P atriotism is all right if properly interpreted, but when it is governed by artificial boundary lines it is m orally w ron g. T o illustrate further take the actual incident on the Mexican border n o t lon g a g o when a child w a s b orn t o a M exican w om an on Mexican soil, and another a short time laeer on tbe American side o f the line. Theoretically these t w o children are eitisens o f different countries, and t o be p atriotic they m ost each be loya l t o the flag under which each w as born, consequenty, in case o f interna tion al disputes, these t w o chil dren m ust necessarily be enemies This, and hundreds of similar instances, proves the futility o f m aking patriotism based on artificial lines harm onize w ith Christianity. In case o f w ar be tween the t w o countries, these t w o children, even the members o f the same church, w ould be enemies. O f course this is ridic ulous, but it sh ow s the logical conclusion w.em ust reach when w e try to b ep atriotic. It is well t o love our country, and d o all we can for her as lon g as we d o n o t violate the la w s o f oa r C reator, but when we get t o the point where w e ca n n ot Mrve both w e had better ponder the m atter over very seriously. to Germ any w e have hat one (dan w ith g o o d roads is w orth t w o o r three w ith them.
