[O
A HATE-CURSED
WORLD: "I SAY
LOVE YOUR BNEMIES,
DO GOOD
100
THEM
THAT LATE fOU!”
(The Literary Digest, April 12, 1924)
O~ Novemboar
11th,
1918, at five o’clock
in the morping,
the Armistice
was signed
whizh ended
the
World
War.
Ten million
fathers,
brothers,
and
sons
bad
been
slain: and countless
more
were
broken
in
body and spirit.
Immeasuvable
anguish
was
the lot of motherhood and ¢hildhood
and
thousands
of cities
and
homes
lay in
ruins.
When
the
news
flashed
that
the
Armistice
was signed,
a mighty thrill of
joy swept through
the
narions,
and
men
vald that
at last
the world
was safe;
the
supreme
price
of peace
had
been
paid;
there
could
never
be
another such
war.
But the
sun bad hardly risen
and
set
be-
fore
war
began
all
over
again
in
the
hearts
of millions who still remained
socs.
Many refused
to
lay
down
their
arms.
Lesser
wars continued
among
the simalier
nations,
and plottings
for revenge
went
on apace.
The
real
price of
peace
had
n ot yet been
paid.
More than
nineteen
centuries
ago
the
Angels jof Heaven
proclaimed
that
only
by
Men
of Good
Will should
peace
on
earth
be
established.
This
was
their
message:
'‘Glory to God in the
Highest
and
on
earth
peace
AMONG MEN
OF
GOOD WILL.’
And
on
thesame
day
The Babe
was born,
The Prince
of Peace
who
was
(o
repeat
to all
men the
sane
message.
The old law of hatred
and
re-
venge
must
be
cast
off.
““A new
com-
mandmentI give unto you,
that ye
love
one another.
Ye have heard
that it hath
been
said, Thou shalt
love thy
neizhbor
and
hate
thine
enemy.
But I say
unto
you, Love your enernuies,
bless
them
that
curse you and persecute
you.”’
Men have regarded
these
as
the vords
of a dreamer—as
an
idealism
impossible
_ for any practical
use.
They have gone
on
.
loving only their friends
withoat
realiz-
f Y il %V
ing
that'it
meant
chiefly loving
them-
selves:
and hating
their
enemies
without
understanding
that
in doing so they were
placing
a
sword
at
their
ewn
throats.
But by every scientific
law
and by every
human experience
the rule given by Jesus
Christ—the
rule of Good Will and unselt-
ish Service—
has
been
proved
to
be the
only possib'e
way by
which
war and
ha-
tred
can
be banished
from
the world and
the reizn
of peace
establishad.
“There
is
no
path
to
peace
excent
as
the will of peoples
mayv
cpen i,”” declared
Secretary
of
State
Churles
E.
Hughes.
In the spirit of
the pecples
lies
the
des-
tiny of the
worid.
[t will be
lifted up to
the
sunlit
plains
of
peace,
prosperity,
and
bappines=s
if the Men
of Good
Will
every where
shall
asszrt
their will, multi-
ply their number,
and
do their appointed
work in the
world.
It wili agaip
be erush-
ed
down into the deepest
hell of war, and
blood,
and
despair
if ill will
remains,
as
it is today,
the
controlling spirit
among
the peoples
ol
the earth.
Lieagues,
cove-
nan
s,
and
treaties
are
eftfective only as
they
express
and are
supported
by
the
spirit anl wiil of the peopies.
Otherwise
soon
or late,
they find their
way into the
“serap of paper’’
baskets
of
the world.
Many grave
warnings
are
coming from
press
correspondents,
travelers,
states-
men and others,
in
many
countries,
ail
to
the
same
effect—that
‘‘People have
bitterness
in
their hearts,
such
intense
bitterress.
There
Is
no
gentleness,
no
love,
no forgiveness
anywhere.
There
1s
just bitter hatred,
[renzy
of passion,
or
else
sullen discouragemeat.’”
'The
form-
er
Prime
Minister and
the
present
Prime
Minister of Great
Britain have both
given
the
serious
emphasis
of their high
office
and 2uihority to the
same
warning.
Da-
vid Llovd George
dec ared that
this spirit
is the
“‘peril of
the world
at
the
present
moment.””
J.
Ramsay
MacDonald,
before
becoming
Premier,
declared,
as
Member
of Parliament,
that
‘" At this

ing on

walk ever
more
plain than

events
and

of today?”’
This spirit of ill will is rendering
futile
many
earnest
efforts
for
peace.
The
most
devoted
and
unselflsh enterprises
for the relief of suffering and for the ser-
vice and blessivg

are
