WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
BY STEPHEN BOSsAL.
The birth Of a religion Is strongly II not
indeHhly associated with the Eastern
world.
Generally speaking. the wise men came
out of the East.
Hardly a day passes. as we all know
but 4 new prophet is born to islam.
Some marabou, as I'D the leader Of the
Wahabis. stands before the shrine where
once he worshiped and with his creed
casts Off his worn-out prayer robe and be-
gins a new religious life.
Come TO the new mecca" he cries.
But to-day the old order Is changing in a
religious as well as a political sense.
Westward how the waves OF religion, fol-
lowing the path OF empire, and prophets
have arisen on the Chicago River and the
shores Of Lake Michigan who bid US
come TO new Zion in the State Of nli-
nois.
We probably notice the religious fer
mentation that is in progress in the Phil
lippine Islands more than we do the IN
rest in our own houses or at our very
doors.
Out there IT is leading to bloody conflicts
between OF armed forces and those whom
we term fanatics.
Enveloped IN our atmosphere OF matter
Of fact. how very far from us they SEEM
these men who lay down their lives for
their religion.
But Il IS only a curious Illusion, begotten
by the fact that We see better what goes
on far afield than what is transpIring un-
der our very noses.
We find nothing remarkable or surpris-
ing in the fact that new prophet has
arisen on tie banks OF the Ganges or the
Jordan or the Branaputra
He is well within his rights when he
appears in the land Of the morning. where
the world Is still young and there still pre-
walls a dim religious light
We like TO know how he wraps his
cheeseclOth about his loins and how many
Elashes Of chalk he wears upon his breast.
But when, as now. the religious compass
IS reversed and the new prophet appears
on the banks OF the Chicago River, pre-
Benting himself as Elijah the Restorer,
who has come to seek us all. and present
~ and especially New Workers, we are apt
