THE TEST OF PATRIOTISM.
BY A. ]. CANFIELD DID,.

THERE can be no doubt that the
teachings of the New Testament tend
to amity to all peoples, and to love
and justice and mercy and peace on
the whole earth. From this it has
been inferred that war and Christian
ity are inconsistent with each other,
which is unquestionably true in the
abstract. But is anyone prepared to
say that anything short of radical
change of fundamental elements of
human nature could abolish war at a
single stroke2 Slavery and dueling
are also contrary to the spirit of the
Gospel, and it has taken nearly
1900 years torender them illegal, and
they are still occasionally practiced in
spite of legal prohibition.
No one can question the value of
patriotism. But patriotism, which is
love of ones country, is something
more than mere attachment to its soil.
1t is a love of its institutions and of
the principles of eternal right and
Justice which underlie them. The
career of General Grant showed that
such was the patriotism that pos
sessed his soul. In his letter to Gen
eral Robert E. Lee before the noted
interview at Appomattox Courthouse
he wrote: II will state that | am
equally anxious for peace with your
self, and the whole North entertains
the same feeling. The terms upon
which peace can be had are well un-
derstood. By the South laying down
their arms they will hasten that most
desirable event, save thousands of
human lives and hundreds of millions
of property not yet destroyed"
His feelings toward his opponents
are we'll shown when he says in rela
ton to his interview with Lee before
his surrender: II felt like anything
rather than rejoicing at the downfall
of a foe who had fought so long and
SO valiantly, and had suffered SO
much for a cause, though that cause
was, l believe, one of the worst for
which a people ever fought, and one
for which there was the least excuse"
Here we have the spirit of human
ity as well as of justice, which led
him, when president to declare that
the fifteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition, guaranteeing the right of
suffrage, without regard to race
color or previous condition of SER
vitude. was "a measure of grander
importance than any other one act of
the kind from the foundation of the
government to the present day." The
national flag, which is the symbol of
patriotism, stands for peace as promi

maintenance of friendly relations be-
tween England and America. The judg
ment and taste shown in the matter
and form of this missive reflect high
credit on the committee.
In view of the warlike tone assumed
SO generally by the press of the Western
States at the time of the Presidents
Venezuelan message. it is interesting to
note in the pamphlet elsewhere referred
to, the great number of societies, col
leges, municipalities, churches and in
dividuals, from Chicago to the Pacific
coast, who have put themselves on re-
cord as not only opposed to war but
shocked at the thought of such need
less calamity. We are shown here again
that the real public sentiment of any
section is not to be gathered from the
out-givipgs of it's daily papers. They
uniformly catch and reflect a surface
view of affairs, from which the opinion
of the intelligent. and thoughtful and
conscientious portion of the population
is excluded. When that comes it tells
different and truer story.
I'm the opinion of Prof. Blackman.
of the University of Kansas, we have
too much civil and political machinery
in this country. He puts very neatly
the congested situation in lone of
our Western States" where he says the
proper title of many bill introduced
into the legislature would be. can Act
to create board to supervise board to
oversee another board in order that all
the promises of the election campaign
shall be fulfilled" The creation Of a
commission is becoming one of the regu-
lation adiuncts of piece of legislation.
The appetite for Office, already insati-
able, is thus stimulated to the point Of
inflammation; and the practical outcome
is the operation of vast and intricate
mechanism to do little public business.
1t is point worthy the historical
critics attention, that in the case of an
earlier and later portion of document
both of which have been wrought into
one literary whole, it is not the earlier
but the later form which may be the
true original. Prof. Moulton remarks
that floating poetry produced the
Homeric poems; and in this case it is
the last form, not the first, that makes
our supreme HAD" 1t is not improb-
able that there may be reaction on lit
erary if not on historical grounds, from
the tendency to dissect and partition
every Biblical book. In this matter
synthesis will follow analysis, and a
study of the unities supersede the now
too microscopic search for evidence of
composite authorship.

IAN EASY RELIGION"
BY AGNES LEONARD HILL.

The call that has arisen for sharp
er distinctions and more definite
statement in regard to Universalism,
arises no doubt from the toe preva-
lent belief that the Universalist
Church offers IAN easy religion"
."Why, it means universal salvation
and Fatherhood of God that takes
in everybody. l call that a very con
venient belief. 1t gives SO much
liberty" say the unthinking.
In reply: The city government is
for the whole community. 1t pro-
tects the rights of even the vilest and
makes provision for the most help
less; yet it has jails and asylums
and penitentiaries for the unruly.
The more paternal the form of
government the more surely does it
protect innocence and punish guilt
Many persons seem to think un-
less the punishment is to be "eter-
nal" it is not greatly to be feared. Yet
when severe physical torture comes,
it is not changed into JOY by the as
surance that sit will not be eternal"
Toothache even for IA night is not
courted as desirable experience.
The amputation of a limb cannot
confer eternal" torment, yet men
think a few hours of pain long
enough to make them want some
anesthetic to deaden the sensibili-
ties. The slow, wearing struggles and
make shifts, and humiliations, and
manifold privations of poverty are not
eternal" yet who for this reason can
with calmness confront "the wolf at
the door"i
Universalism is the logical out
come of rational faith in the prom
ises of God.l I"As man sows SO shall
he also reap" Like produces like
and the law of reciprocity is inexor-
able.' As he gives it shall be given
to him.
Does he distrust a fellow creature?
His distrust restrains him from the
frankness and generosity that would
make this fellow-creature trust him.
He sows distrust aud reaps distrust.
Does he long to help a fellow-cres
turei He may not have the wisdom to
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-06-06

give the precise help that is needed ;
but he has sown a longing to help,
from which he shall reap some spirit
ual grace that will put new light in
his face and a new melody in his
heart; and thus draw to him the love
and confidence of the first-born of
the earth. Does he consider money
the alpha and omega of human hap
piness and the only thing worthy his
best effort, he will find money his
only return. With it he will be COM
PEELED to hire service for his wants
that, however high-priced, can never
equal the ministry of sanctified ten
derness.
AS he has given his manhood to
acquire and hoard money he has
given his power to win the hearts and
bless the lives of his fellow creatures
1t is nonsense to say he is lonely
and despised and cannot get the
smallest servics without money, but
then his punishment is not eternal .
He will die and forget it for a time
at least.
Men do not say to each other
"You need not mind disgrace and
the taking away of all your friends
1t could not last forever. Sometime
it must end; and SO long as it is moi
eternal you need not mind"
How then can any one imagine thai
Universalism is an "easy religion
1t is the religion of "those chancel
lors of God, cause and effect.
Rightly understood it is far more
difficult than the orthodox" belief
than professions of "faith," confes
sions of sinfulness, insistence upol
"the exceeding sinfulness of sin," an(
the certainty Of Heternal punish
ment."
The sort of "faith" that destroy
individual responsibility is not faitl
but denial of it. "Be not deceived
God is not mocked; as a man sows 81
shall he also reap"

The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-06-06

FAITH in the beneficence Of natural
law is subjected to strain by the occur
renee of such unspeakable disasters as
have visited and desolated portions OF
Texas Kansas, Iowa and Missouri with
in fortnight. Tornado and flood have
sent to sudden doom more than thous-
and persons; and besides the havoc
wrought, have left narrowing memory
a continuing legacy, to those unhappy
cities and sections. The sense OF human
helplessness before the tremendous and
Implying forces of nature is mingled
with disturbing questions as to the rela-
tion of the all. wise and all-good to the
physical order. The same problems are
involved in the regular and quiet process
sion of the irresistible food that sweeps
us all and our works finally away; but
the sudden and all uncalculable irruption
of calamity arrests thought and almost
paralyzes the spirit.
The messages issuing now and again
from Secretary Rugg, and the actual
condition of the Treasury of our General
Convention, show that we have pretty
much dropped the parish apportionment
plan without having taken up the Cent
a-Day plan. This was result feared from
the start. The assessments were fairly
well established; they had been long
time growing up; they should have been
continued while the Cent a-Day plan was
in progress of development, and until the
latter was in full operation. The de-
mand at this moment is for response
from the parishes, as formerly; at the
same time all subscribers to the Cent a.
Day pledge who are in arrears, should
send in their subscriptions without
moments delay. The situation is criti.
cal.
One who comes down from COM
munion with the lofty spirits who
framed and interpreted our government,
as in the Madison papers, to the level of
the American Congress of 1896. must
have great resources of patriotism not to
feel depressed, even alarmed. Those
noble and unselfsh conceptions of pub
lie duty, that high strain of official hon.
or, purity, and personal reserve. contrast
painfully with the type OF demagogue
who at the moment we enter the cham
ber is entertaining the galleries with
mixture of ignorance, impudence and
''oratory" II Hamilton or Madison or
Jay could have foreseen him would they
not have despaired of the Republic?
The committee of citizens Of Chi
cago who early in the year issued call
to the press and people of the United
States on the relations of the English
speaking people of the world. send out
now an elegant pamphlet addressed to
Her Majesty the Queen and to the
President of the United States" A
short address to the Queen is followed
by shorter address to the President.
To these succeed the original "call, and
the body of the pamphlet is made up of
the various responses from organizations,
institutions, churches and prominent in
dividuals throughout the country. The
whole forms an instructive and impres-
sive expression OF the best mind and
heart Of the nation on the subject of the
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-06-06

nently as for war. War and peace
represent two sides of the same great
principle that of self preservation.
If war is sometimes necessary for
the defense of our country and the
enforcement of its rights, peace alone
can insure the national progress. Not
peace at any price, however, as the
sword may have to be drawn in de-
fense of the national honor. Mere
wars of conquest are always mex
cusable, whether waged by an African
savage or by an Alexander the Great
or Napoleon Bonaparte. But what
appear at first sight to be wars of
offense are often undertaken for self
preservation.
The misfortunes of war may some
times have salutary effect on peo
pie, but its atmosphere is not essen
tial to the spirit of patriotism, which
it kindles into fame, but does not
create.
The true test of patriotism is love
of country, the good of which should
be our great aim in peace no less
than in war. Peace as we'll as war
has its conflicts. The struggle of
right with wrong is ever progressing,
and the triumph of wrong may be
more injurious to country than de-
feat at the hands of external foes.
True patriotism is that which is
ready to sacrifice everything on the
altar of country in the fight with its
enemies, whether they are at home
or abroad. The founder of Christian
ity, whose title is Prince of Peace,
was ever in conflict with evil, and
laid down his life for the victory of
love over hate, of peace over war.
The patriotism of Christianity is as
wide as humanity, and its ideal, there
fore, is universal peace. Such should
be the ideal of all patriotism, for it
is the duty of all to strive, as did
General Grant, for peace 80 long as
it can be retained without the sacrifice
of honor. 1t has been finely said
that there is one thing better than
dying for ones country, that is, living
for it-so living that we may benefit
it by our actions and our example,
but not declining death if duty SO
requires.
Such was the patriotism of our ma
sional heroes, Washington, Lincoln
and Grant, and it has redounded to
the benefit, not of our own country
only, but of the whole human race,
The magnificent consumnlation of
universal peace can be accomplished
only by the gradual elevation of the
moral sentiments of mankind, doing
for humanity as whole the work
which the spirit Of Christ did for the
hundred and twenty souls on the
day of Pentecost, where men of every
nation under heaven dwelt for brief
season in perfect harmony.
