A STRANGE PHENOMENON.
IT'S A crUlOVS thins:. Holiiiiou is supposed to hv n foi'i'o for
ix'tit'o, iuhI jfnovl will.
-nd.vi t religion has proluihly cuisi inoro war, inoro iTUolty tunl
Moodsht'tl, more Mil'tVrinu tluin any olhor forci in hninan lifo. And
t'dny, 2000 yours aftor I'lirist. t lit? Christian rdijiioti is inakiuu' a wri
table slauihtor Ikuisi- of Ireland.
How do th wise men explain it!
There miyht. he some sense in a Christian fijrhtins a Mohamme
dan, for their beliefs are essentially different. The Christian "reli;
ion is fundamentally a religion of oaee; the Mohaniniediin religion
a religion of war. The first is essentially spiritual, the seeond es
M-iitially material, tiood i hain-e fr an argument and therefore, i;ood
cham-e for a fiht,
lnt for men who believe in the same Cod. in the same troneral re
ligions prineiplos. what ntter folly it seems to fiiiht over the differ
or.ee of creed, or of organization or what-not, the differences of
tweedle-doo and tweodle-dnm !
And yet not only do they fiidit when this strange reliirio-com-bativo
instinet is once aroused, but they never stop fighting. As
reason doesn't enter into the origin of the trouble, reason apiarently
can't end it. The only hope for peace in Ireland today, for example,
appears to be total annihilation of one side or the other , or both.
Strange, strange, straniro. The cause must be hidden far in
the primitive past, some mysterious complex generated through many
centuries of religious persecution and fear and hate.
Probably the man who can explain why a bull frog will jump nt
a red rajr, why n inoih will fly in a flame, can also explain, why an
Vlster Irishman will lly at the throat of a Dublin Irishman, whi n
ever religion is mentioned.
Bnt we can't Most people can't. Bloodshed, hate and violence in
the name of Christianity. the religion of brotherhood, love and hu
mility, no it ean't be explained. The business must remain a strange
and inexplicable phenomenon, as far as Koason is concerned.

IN OUR BLINDNESS.
TIIE artist took me to his lair and showed me noble paintings
there. I know they're fine; the public prints have roundly
praised their gorgeous tint, and famous critics have admired
but, just the same, they made me tired. I love the artist; for hi
sake some words of praise I tried to fake; he listened with a
shrinking car; he knew my bluff was not sincere. "Alas," ho
sighed, "you brtak my heart ! You look upon a work of art, the
product of my anguished toil all it suggests is linseed oil!" I
took the artist to my shed to see my new car, painted red. It is
indeed a noble bus, that makes my jealous neighbors cuss. It is
a thing of speed and charm, and what it cost would buy a farm.
It's speed makes cops lie down and die, and it caa climb a church
on high. Its curves I started to explain, but saw the .artist had
a pain. "You are not human, man," I said: "yon. view this
dream in gold and red, with all its wondroirs works within, and
all you think about is tin I Co, paint your pictures, then, gad
zooks, of pca-grccn cows in purple brooks, and I shall step upon
the gas, and men will marvel as I pass." "What pleases you gives
me distress; and so the world is a success..
