The Only Commandment,
GOD is LOVE
BY COUNT LEO ToLsTo1

The whole Christian faith rests on
love alone. We all know that. We
know it, not only because it is written
in the gospel but also because it is
written in our hearts. Talk to any
human being about love, and be he a
tRussian, German, a Chinese, a Hindoo.
a thief, hishwuyman or tangman
he would agree that it would be far
better If all men lived together in love.
Everybody knows it is better to live
in love than in cnmty and hatred,
and even knows that 1t is possible to
live thus Why is it now hat we
Christians q leave all others out OF
consideration do not live in love, but
in hatred and cnmityp though we know
that it is good to live in love, and that
1T is possible to live SO, and even
know this from the gospel which wc
consider sacred book?
1t comes from this. that although we
have been given IL the gospel and in our
hearts only one religion and only one
colnnlandment---tllat OF loye--we still
have many other faiths and many
other commandments that we consider
divine, and we obey these command.
ments more than we obey tho COM
mandment OF love.
\ master gave some workinSnen n
task, asked them to carry 1t out well
and promised them, in return. a good
living Among the workers We're some
however. who, wanted to make Il good
living not only through work. but by
pleasing tho master and through
other deeds. These men invented all
kinds of methods to please the mas
ter and carried them, out too, but the
task that had been given them they
only performed when 1t pleased them
or not at all. Others plainly de-
olared that there was no master, every
body must work and 1.-Two for him
workers was made hard and trouble
some.
IT is thus with the men who have
introduced other religions beside the
religion Of love. They say that they
believe in the religion and Its COM
nandments, but they obey only the easy
and those tor which they
are praised. Instead ofSaharing every
thing with others. the rich live in
luxury among the poor exhausted
workers. ana the poor hate the rich
and try to do them harm. Instead OF

who have been taught that 1t Is pos
