made men for freedom, not Tor
slavery.
The Civil war taught us that
the nation is greater than a
group of states, and the war IN
Europe has taught us that hui
manity is greater than any ma
ton. Humanity is bigger than
nationalisn. To be a man is
greater than to be and English
man or an American, a Russian
or an Austrian, a Jew or a Gen
tile, a Catholic or Protestant.
| So long as the national spirit
prevails, so long will there be
| feuds between he naions. The
international spirit must precede
international peace.
But, I" interjects some one,
"the international spirit is an
idle dream. Teutons and Slays,
Anglo-Saxons and Latins can
never live together in peace.
They are so differene constituted
by temperament, environment
and training
The answer to this PROPOSE
ton is very simple. Nearly all
the races of the world are liv-
ing together in peace i'll Ameri-
ca. That settles the debate.
Why is this condition possibleg
lit is due to the fact that all
these people, when they come
to America, adopt common
ideal, which is liberty. And
this leads US to our closing ar
gument:
III. The Golden Rule vs.. the
Rule Of Gold.
History shows that men, when
they have common, ideal, can
live together in peace. Jesus
gave us that ideal when he said.
Therefore, all things whatso-
ever ye would that men should
do to you, do We even so to
them.
The new school recognizes this
as being the only adequate basis
of human conduct. Peace in the
home and in the nation is pos
sible only when men conduct
themselves according to the
principles enunciated in the
Golden Rule. The Golden Rule
will eliminate the rule Of gold.
1t will eliminate all the evils
that are, responsible for war,
such as imperialism and private
control Of public property. 1t is
because men are inherently sell
fish that treaties and alliances
are Of no avail in the cry for
peace. The ambitions and quar-
rels Of royal families are among
the chief causes of war. 4 The
Bourbons Of France, the Haps-
burgs of Austria, the Hohenzol-
lerns Of Prussia, have played q
conspicuous part in making the
world great battle field. I'm
perialistic and economic wars
would be eliminated if the Gold
en- Rule became the universal
standard of conduct. No longer
would men fight for that which
does not belong to them, nor
would they fight to satisfy the
selfish ambitions of some ruling
monarch
Conformity to the Golden
Rule will create good will among
the nations. Goodwill has
shown its efficiency in certain
of our prisons, where it has had
wonderful effect on the NOR
ais of the prisoners.
America, thank God, is con
tributing its share toward the
creation of goodwill among the
nations. The starving millions
of Europe and Asia regard
America as their physical savior.
1t is a most admirable work thar
Mr.. Hoover is doing. But will |
American food bring universal |
peace? 1t is doubtful. To in |
sure lasting peace, the Golden
Rule of Christ, we musa appro-
pirate and send Christ himself
to the hearts and minds of men.
The Golden Rule will rule in the
lives of men only when Christ
himself is enthroned there.
You are ambitious to do some
thing worth while in this world
Here is challenge to you.
A foreigner came to America
and trampled over the country
because out of work. His pow
erty compelled him to lodge in
a New York jail. Finally he
