The Cross and the Sword
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Craue)


l-----------------
~There appeared on the editorial page Of
the New York Globe the other day an
article in which il was intimated that
what siermany needs and has needed that
thing the lack of which had brought her
to the end of folly. was-martyrs.
Nobody among the radicals in Germany
seems to be willing to sacrifice himself.
All the men of advanced ideas have play
ed safe. Notice how the Socialists fell
IN line when me kaiser barked. and all the
intellectuals FASTENED to prostitute them
selves at the bidding of junkerdom.
The editorial referred to shows that
while the whole present world lies under
the darkness Of the great deusion, yet
occasionally some one gets glimpse of
the light And let US be thankful for
small favors.
The great delusion is the belief that
any good can be accomplished by material
force
The world is advanced by the cross, not
the sword.
Jesus might have organized an army
and assumed the throne of Rome, IL He
was divine as claimed. He would then
have had temporal kingdom which in
time would have passed away, as all king
doms founded on force have done. He
chose TO die on the cross. and thus found
ed AN eternal kingdom which shall not
pass away
He saw what the world does not yet
see, neither indeed can see, in its present
blindness; TO wit that spiritual potencies
are absolutely irresistible No material
force can help them nor hinder them.
They move like vast tides of destiny. Men
and their Vaccinations float upon them
as leaves on the stream
General Grant in the maturity of his
experience caught a glimpse of this
truth when he said that there never
was war that could not have been bet
ter settled some other way
It's the martyrs that conquer in the
long run. II is the martyrs Of Russia,
the numberless victims who have rotted
i'm her prisons and persisted in her penal
colonies, that eventually overthrow the
autocracy. IL was not done by an arNed
force. Il was not the mailed fists of
men. but the cries of little children and
the tears Of women that swept away
Garden.
1t was the martyrs that made the
church a power When that church got
to using arms and money and material
prestige it collapsed.
They that take the sword invariably
perish by the sword.
The meek shall inherit the earth.
II is not the guns Of its enemies that
shall abolish the horrid junkerdom that
makes Germany a menace; it is the in
dgna;ion Of mankind. the revulsion Of
universal public opinion, the rising con-
tempt Of the German people themselves
who find themselves disgraced and be-
trayec before mankind.
In hoe signorvinces.' II was a deep
er truth than Constantine suspected that
lay under those words he saw above the
cross in his vision Not by the sword.
but by the cross, not by the man who
kills. but by the man who gets killed;
not by the soldier, but by the martyr,
does me Golden Age come.
Those that persisted in the Lusitania
did as much to overthrow German auto
cracy as any ten thousand men with
guns.
