FAITH IN DECENCY

Just give the common people
chance, and they will restore
honesty in the place of chicanery
and Justice in the place of greed.
This faith in the common mans
ambition and in @ his desire to
make decency and fair dealing
prevail should save many person
devoted to social betterment a
deal of needless fretting and use
less worry.
AS this is written, the world
.relolces in victory over NaziH bar
barity. recall words / spoke five
years ago, W h G n it seemed no
power on earth could stop the
mechanized evil then sweeping
over Europe. l quote them now,
not in pride nor as a claim to
prophetic vision, but merely TO
illustrate the faith that helped
me through many perplexing and
trying situations OF these war
years.
At a meeting in New York City
in late June. 1910, / said:
81 still believe in a God In
heaven and still believe JUS
tice and righteousness will trl-
umph over wrong; and even
though England may be driven
with her back to the wall, i am
one of those who believe that
the unconquerable spirit of
Great Britain and its people can
never be destroyed, and that
England will win"
Faith in God, faith in mani
cannot say which comes first
L heard recently of a farmer who
lived in that section of Michigan
called the Thumb" Spring comes
late up there because that Sec
tion is almost completely sur
rounded by icy waters. One par
ticularly late spring this farmer
announced to his neighbors he
was convinced spring would not
come at all that year. When they
asked why, he replied, Every
one knows it can't get warm until
the ice gets out of Lake Michi-
gan; and how is the ice going To
get out until it gets warm?"
PART OF WHOLE
The facts as this simple mar
observed them presented one oi
those closed vicious circles" He
failed TO realize his little thumb
of land was only a small part oi
a great. wide circle. in which, re-
Volving in its course around. tho
eternal sun, were set in motion
cosmic forces far beyond his ken
Many times during the last 81
years, the cause of right and jus
tice seemed hedged in. Efforts Il
free it were blocked by vicious
circle, and there seemed no wa,
out. Today, in many ways, Tn,
world seems 10 be deadlocked
Having won a victory in war, w,
wonder whether we can summon
lenough good will and intelligenc,
10 win victories which belong Il
peace.
Tn perplexing times like thes,
l find again and again that l mus
dely on faith-faith that If all o
us do our utmost in the grea
universe about us. The stars il
their courses fight for right. Tn,
ice will melt, and summer viii
come.
This Is what I mean by faitl
in God, this is what l think III,
ancient poet deuteronomy 1927
meant when he sang:
"The eternal God is thy dwell
ing place, and underneath are
the everlasting arms"
So il has been that in the mids
Of strife l have found peace Faiti
| in God faith in man. Like IN,
bow and the violin, together the.
make harmony.

STRIKES WE'RE LONG

In those days, a strike might
last three to 10 months. Miners
families helped each other out;
even so, we went hungry every
now and then.
I also saw anguish mingled with
fear lay hold of a family when
fellow workers carried home a
broken body, following one of the
horrible accidents that were sc
frequent in the mines I saw what
it meant "a mothers and small
children when the breadwinner
was taken away or injured so he
could not work. In those days, the
law did not hold an employer re-

BY personal religion l do not
mean a private religion, an expert
ence separate from association
with my fellow men. ! strongly
doubt there is any such things as
a private religion. any more than
there can be a private language.
BY its very essence religion is
social and has primary and direct
bearing upon ones associations
with others.
A religion distinct from ethics
and morals becomes empty ritual
ism and sinks quickly 10 the level
Of primitive magic. This oneness
of experience with God and ex-
perience with men is what the
prophet, MICAH meant when he
proclaimed:
"He hath showed thee, a man,
what Is good; and what doth
Jehovah require of thee but To

The darnedest thing happened the
other day. Some unfortunate Chi

and some CTS went and picked him
up. And then they didn't know
what in Sam Hill to do with him.
They toted him all over the place,
trying to get rid of him, when fl
nally they brought him to the dis
pensary where the medical officer
got in touch with the Chinese field
headquarters who, in turn, sent out
a squad of Chinese soldiers with a
casket to bury the corpse.
Well, they put the cadaver in the
wooden kimono and formed pro-
cession toward the graveyard where
I live. They we're short way from
my barracks when the noon whistle
blew. They took the casket off their
shoulders, set it on the ground, and
they all knocked off for lunch.
Come afternoon and morning, and
they never came back. It's been
two days now, and I have my bags
all packed and ready to move to
another barracks about three blocks
