THE AMERICAN WAY

| haps, by some Divine direction, the
peoples OF the world are at long
last ready to discard their false
prophets and try the Golden Rule
Should we not love our neighbol
as ourselves? Is there error in the
idea that we should do unto others
as we would have them do unite
us? Is there any Other way tc
achieve Peace ON earth. good will
toward men?
Do we dare put the Christmas
spirit into year around operation ?
Or do the Caesars still possess US
asserting bogus claims of authori.
ty over the peoples Of the earth
feeding their lust upon the sub
stance they take by force from
those who produce?
In America we have approached
closer to the Divine way than has
been possible in other lands be-
cause We as a people put eohsti-
tutional chains upon the powers OF
government making the Individual
supreme by law.
Thus the individual has been free
to develop his own life as God or
dalned. In tins freedom our people
evolved a code OF ethics without
compulsion, built upon the founda-
ton OF intelligent self-lnterest and
cooperation possible only when all
men stand equal before the Ia"
rms concept OF liberty mas pro
dueed an abundance the IKE OF
which was never imagined by any
other people on the face OF the
