Der Witnessing Weston walk the race
track at the fair grounds in Jackson sew
eral years ago. He walked four miles
in one hong,--a half mile of it being
done backwards. We notice when a
gentleman carried him a glass of water,
the water bearer had to trot to keep up
with him till the glass was empted.
We cannot say what good there was to it,
but Weston carried riding whip in his
hand, and, occasionally would larrup his
legs with it. Guess he was whipping
speed into his boots, or he imagined so.

TOLSTOY. SAW REAL TRUTH

Editor Call: Many more able than
myself will pen tribute to the departed
Tolstoy. 1 wish to refer briefly to
what l consider the most important
phase of his teaching. He saw more
clearly than former economic writers
the truth so well expressed by the
Apostle James: whence come wars
and lighting among you? Come they
not hence even of your sensual delights
| that war in your members? Ye lust
and have not; We kill and covet and can
not obtain"
The command. Put up thy sword
was seen by Tolstoy to be directed not
alone to nations. but to the angry heart
of every man. He saw that the selfish
human heart is filled with the desire to
punish all who oppose its purpose, and
hence comes hatred. He saw that back
of the divine law against such feeling
is an invisible but certain spiritual
law, by which such feelings react In
| iuriously upon all who harbor enmity,
hatred or revenge. He saw that where
these feelings are permitted to possess
the human soul, that no true sense of
right or justice, private or public, can
be received and worked for in effective
manner There truths do not prevent
proper punishments in spirit of
mercy for public crimes. but forbid
that even such punishments should be
in a spirit of anger or revenge but
with sadness that the necessity exists
and with a desire and prayer that there
may yet come amendment and joy in
such soul.
While crime must be restrained, yet
Tolstoy ever kept in mind that by per-
petual disregard of divine justice So
ciety eternally, both by prenatal and
postnatal sins. is largely responsible for
the evils men do. He felt the celestial
impulse of the words, Father, forgive
them, for they know not what they do
He felt the verify of the words of the
! Saviour. "Ye have heard it said. Thou
The San Francisco call., 1910-11-22

shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine
enemy but I say unto you. love your
enemies and pray for them that perse-
cute YOU He knew and saw that
while we were not to love the evil our
enemies did, that still there was a
divine eternal law, operating unseen,
by which good to ourselves and to So
ciety results from substituting love for
hatred and praying for or desiring
amendment, new hearts and blessings
for our enemies or those we conceived
to be such. Too often we conceive men
to be our enemies whom we do not
understand
Tolstoy saw that the brotherhood of
man In It's true sense required the ac-
ceptance and operation of that divine
wisdom which. acting in the SOUL leads
to moral and just conduct from love of
truth and justice, and that with the
coming of such wisdom the mass of
those who resist just systems will see
by the light Of an awakened soul and
establish public right with peace ac-
cording to the teaching: But If We
have bitter jealousy and faction in your
heart, glory not and be not against the
truth. This wisdom is not a wisdom
Wnlch cometh down from above, but is
earthly, sensual, devilish. For where
jealousy and faction are. there is every
vile deed. But the wisdom that is
from above is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle, easy to be entreated, full of
mercy and good fruits, without vari-
ance, without hypocrisy. And the fruit
OF righteousness is sown in peace for
them that make peace
Iolstoy laid his work upon eternal
foundations and his conceptions of JUS
Ilce and peace are those of that divine
power OF whom 1t has been said:
He has sounded forth the trumpet that
shall never call retreat;
he is sitting out the souls of men be-
fore his judgment seat"
