T 0 A HATE.-CURBED
WORLD: ('1 SAY
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES,
DO
GOQO)
TO
THEM
THAT HATLE
yOU!”
(The Literary Digest,
Aprid 12, 1924)
(Concluded from yostercay's
Avis)
You practical
men
of basiness
and
of
polities,
as
you look abroac
over
a world
cursed
by
haired,
hardly
maintaining
even
a fragile formality of prace,
prepar-
ing by spirit
and
act
for
a greater
aod
decdhier
war,do
you know of a plainer and
surer
way
to endurinz
peace-—to
the
per-
manent
prosperity
and
s ability of the
institutions
of
civilized
soeiety —than
through
a change
in th2 spirit of the
peo
ple of the world from il will to Good Wiil?
Be
assured,
it
is puss ble
to accomplish,
this
change.
Even
in
thbis
'‘practical’”’
age
it
is
possible
to
dispel
the
hatred
which threatens
the world
with another
storm
of hlood
ard fury.
It
is
possible
to remove
the spirit
of
war ia the
world
and
to put an
end
to war.
Mobilize
the
Men of Good will for this noble task.
In the
countries
of
Europe
there
are
still
many
wmillions
of
children.
Altho
countless
multitudes
of tender
chiidish
lives
have
been
sacrificed
so
the
war
tragedy
that
has
seemed
to be,
for child-
hood,
almost
without
ena,
millions of
others
have been
kept aiive thus
far by
the ministrations
of
love and
Good
Will
with which
readers
of The Literary
Di-
gest
are
so
familiar; and these
children
will ever
love
and
revere
the land
and
the people that gave
them
life
and
com-
fort.
In the heart
of childhood
hatred
does
not ¢asily
abide.
The
natural
and
in-
stinetive
emotion
is
love.
From
the
mo-
ther's
first kiss,
through
all the
hours,
months,
and
vears
of a mother’s
devo-
tion
and sacrifice,
love is the
one
gresgt
emotion
that reproduces
itself in the
ten-
der heart
of
a lirtle child.
The first eruel
wotnds
of
suffering,
and
even
of
hate,
can
be
quickly
healed
in
the
childish
heart
by the
ministry
of love.
Only
by
long and bitter
experience
with
erueity,
neglect,
disappoiniment,
and
hatred
is
the spirit of love driven
out
and replaced
by
a
deep
dizcouragement
and
1l
willk
Tens of imillions
of chi.dren
throughout
Burope
are
still
within
the reach
of the
healing
and holding power
of love.
They
ean
still be saged
fromn becoming
lifelony
sitbjects
to the destroying reign of hatred,
suspicion,
fear,
jelousy,
and
revenge.
These
(hildren
of today
will ecntrol
the
destiny
of the
world
tomorrow.
[ln their
hearts
s
now growingthe
“w
Uof paoples’’
bu which
alone
the path
to peace
is
to be
opened,
or
by
which
the
world isto
be
drenched
wn fratricidal
blood.
Fathers
and
motbheis
of America,
there
are 2,000,000
ehi'dren
in Germany
today,
and
in the
countries
around
them
maony
miltions
more,
w 0 will be
the friends
of
yoir people,
or iheir bitter enemies
in the
years
just
ahead.
You
can
make
them
which
ever
vou
choose.
Choose
now
while yet
there
is time!
Business
men,
statesmen,
educators,
your
invesiments
in
the children
of
the
werld
today
will
insure
the safety
and
prosperity
of
America
and
the
world
more
than billions
of
dollars
invested
in
battieships,
poison
gas,
and
bombing
planes.
So impressed
are
we
with
the
great
need for which
Major-General
Al-
len Bappeals,
and
with
the
econsecrated
service
of the Quakers,
by whose
hands
the relief
is being sadministered,
that
we
have sent
our
own check
forsH,ooo
to the
fund, and
we urge
our readers
to do
all
they
can
do in
iis support.
Saint
Paul
was
not urging
an impossible
ideal,
buot
the oniy possible
practical
method
of ac-
complishment,
when
he
said
''be
not
overcome
of evil but
overcome
evil with
good.””
It
is
possible jthrough the chil-
dren.
to
overconie
even
the
great
evil
of war tomorrow
with
the
Good
Will of
today.
Save
the children!
Let
themm
not
in-
herit
the hatreds
of today!
Cultivate
in
their fertile hearis the love and
spirit of
unselfish
service
which
are
theirs
by
every
law of nature,
of which may
now
be made
strong land
permanent
for
the
salvation of jthe
world
in their
genera-
tion.
In
dealirg
with
them
now

future
of
