Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1914-08-05

The following beautiful sentiment
is from the pen Of Senator Bob Tay-
lor of Tennessee: Il would rather fill
my purse with money and keep it's
gates ajar to my happy girls while
yet they linger under my roof than
to clutch it with a misers hand un-
til all the harp strings of youth are
broken and all its music forever fed.
would rather spend my last nickle
for a bag of stripped marbles to glad
Gen the hearts of my barefooted
boys than to deny them their child
ish pleasures, and leave them a bag
of gold to quarrel over when l am
dead. | abhor the pitiless hawk that
circles the air only to swoop down
and strangle the song of the linet or
bury it's talons in the heart of the
dove. / despise the soulless man
whose greed for gold impels him to
strangle the laughter and song of his
own family.

WORLD PEACE A PHANTOM.

The Christian era began with the
message of Peace-but Peace to men
of good will. 1t is this that prompts
me, says Father Francis C. Kelly in
Extension to say that universal
Peace is an impossible dream. Uni
Versal Peace presupposes universal
Justice and universal Love, which we
will never have. Nations but reflect
the individuals, and among these is
wanting the sense of Justice and the
spirit of Love. Scarce had the mes
sage of Peace on earth to men OF
good Will been delivered when the
work of exterminating the followers
of the Prince of Peace was begun.
They were hunted in the catacombs
and torn to pieces in the Coliseum
nav, used as torches to light the very
streets. That was nearly twenty cen
turtles ago. To-day we boast of Chris
tan" civilization, but the work of per-
secution continues with undiminished
rigor to this very hour. Men and
women are still relentlessly baited be
cause they are followers OF Christ;
they are hated and despised for their
loyalty to the Prince Of Peace. And

this warfare ON the part of individu
ais and nations against Christ and
His followers is developing in the
prosecutors all the elements that
make for war, not for peace. The
evil human passions have gained mo-
mentum with the passing of the cen
turtles. AS long as you have indiyi-
duals ,...
in the teeth of clenched antagon.
To follow up the worthiest till he
de-
so long will you have nations "snarl
ing at each. others heels" There is
but one kind of peace possible in this
world-the peace that dwelleth in the
heart, the peace that comes to the
soul touched by the finger of Christ,
the peace of the spirit that sanctifies
him or her conscious of doing what is
right. And until this kind of peace
becomes universal-embracing Occi-
dent and Orient-World Peace is not
only a dream, but phantom-the
hallucination of sick and feverish
mind.
