Mr. Editor: I hav finished reading
Ales Rahm'a letter in the last issue of
your valued paper, and I trust you will
grant me space to correct, if possible,
the impression Mr. Rahm'a letter is
apt to leave upon the mind of the read
er. Mr. Kahm compaiea with line sar
casm the beautiful (?) barbaric time of
the advent of the Prince of Peace,
with our modern civilization so rich in
machine guna and 42 centimeter cannon.
1 have no quarrel with Mr. Rahm'a
conception of history, but 1 venture the
assertion that very few would care to
see the world go back to the ancient
methods of warfare and see reinstated
the battle ax and the sword, and the
wholesale slaughter of the men, women
and chilrden of the conquered people.
It is indeed a long step from the song
of the angels on the plains of Hethe
hem to a modern Laltlefield and to the
superficial observer it may appear any
thing but a step forward. And yet,
who is there among us competent to
take an inventory of the spiritual de
velopment that has taken place in the
human makeup since that time?
But instead of following the time
honored precedent of casting the blame
for human folly upon some one man nr
woman, would it not be more in har
mony with our profession of culture
and civilization to display a little more
of the one attribute, above all others,
that the Master understood the para
mount weakness of humanity when
upon one occasion, where there seemed
no room for a divided opinion. He
nevertheless challenged the multitude
to cast the first atone.
It is all very well to curae and damn
the Kaiser, but it does not speak well
for the use we have made of the divine
precepta that have been our heritage
these past centuries. Instead of con
centrating upon a curse, let ua concen
trate upon our own folly and error, and
perhaps, we might discover that we
ourselves come in for our share of the
responsibility not only for the war, but
for every other wrong and evil that
stalks rampant through the world today.
It is not my intention to discuss the
events that led up to this deplorable
conflict. In the face of unanswerable
facts, most men will cling tenaciously
to preconceived opinions or they will
be swayed hither and thither, by every
plausible theory advanced.
The thought I wiBh to bring out and
emphasize is a fundamental factor for
the existence and perpetuation of con
ditions that generate and foster these
deplorable outbreaks of passion. The
human race has but a dim conception of
the purpose of the Divine mind in call
ing into being creatures possessed of
attributes pertaining to his physical,
mental and spiritual make up. Attri
butes that are to serve for our develop
ment and progress. This conception is,
however, clouded only as it pertains to
hia mental and spiritual nature. As
regards the physical and material, we
are all agreed, leaving no room for ar
gument, it is our privilege to grow
tine, healthy bodies and use all the fa
culties with which this body is en
dowed, to gather together, as our own
personal property, as much of the ma
terial wealth of this world as possible.
What matters it that our gain is anoth
er Vloss; aren't we playing the game
according to rules that are approved
and accepted? And here lies the crux
of the whole matter. This individual
mania for the accumulation of wealth
has become international. Nations act
ing as individuals, displaying all the
cunning, jealousy and hatred of indi
viduals, hence the strife and conflict on
such a scalo that fairly ataggers the
imagination and paralyses the moral
senses.
And yet humanity seems to require a
jolt of just this magnitude to bring it
to a realization of where we are at.
The fight for commercial supremacy
of one man over another, however
brutal and productive of suffering and
hardship it may be, we pass by unheed
ed ; we accept the facts as'part of the
game, a shrug of the shoulders und the
incident is forgotten. It is part of a
system that has always been and al
ways will be.
But thanks to the Divine impulse
planted in the human soul, we are be
coming cognizant that right here we
are going to run up against a Divine
law that sooner or later will compel
recognition. By and by we will realize
that man is a dual being, and , that we
have ignored and smothered his spirit
ual attributes quite long enough. It is
time we gave the other man, the spir
itual part of man, a chance to assert
himself in the management of earth's
affairs.
Commerce will then be the servant of
mankind and not its master. Weallh
will be produced for the use of all the
children of men, instead of for a few.
Now then, are we doing our part
towards bringing about this readjust
ment of affairs? In so far as we are
not, we are jointly and severally re
sponsible for the chaotic conditions in
Europe, Mexico, yes, and even in Colorado.
I have brought out this phtise of the
, uUif-tinn of ri Mioiis-ililit v litems! it
leet n.? to be most studiously avoided h
the individual wtiter, the prebs and the
pulpit. It lis so much easier to hurl
anathemas against the Kaiser or the
German military machine, forgetting
that were we placed in their positions
we would do exactly as they are doing,
only perhaps not quite so efficiently.
Mr. fcditor, the world is now reaping
a harvest which is a true yield of the
seed that has been sown these past
centuries. The great overshadowing
question for humanity to solve is, shall
we go on sowing this kind of seed.
Remember, we are now doing it con
sciously ; we know the seed, and we
know the harvest. It is up to us.
Thinking men and women the world
over are raising the question whether
man hasn t been neglecting the most
important part of himself all these
years. Now please don't understand
me to mean merely a Sunday-go-to-meeting
sort of spirituality. 1 mean a
development of the spiritual sense that
takes into his working hypothesis the
brotherhood of man seven days in the
week, year in and year out. It means
the establishment of an economic sys
tem that will enable man to progress
without using hia fellowman as a step
ping stone. It means that the bounti
ful natural resources of this earth be
long to all the people, awaiting devel
opment for the benefit of all instead of
for the few. It means the growing of
crops, the making of useful and beauti
ful things; not for profit but for use.
It means that the earth and the full
ness thereof shall never again be
fenced off and apportioned and appro
priated by the few to the exclusion of
the many. Is this asking too much?
Man possesses as much of the Divine
spirit now, today, as he ever will
possess. It is up to him to give that
divinity a chance. B. R. Richter.
