THE UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD.
For ages, men with ideals
have studied and labored to
bring to pass that condition of
affairs in which selfishness and
cruelty should be eliminated
from the code of society, and
the more excellent way of
charity and world fellowship
be enthroned to rule the des
tinies of the race.
The prophets and sages of
history have all stood on this
Pisgah, and with more or less
optimism have heralded, hail
ed, beckoned; but all have
found a grave on Nebo's
slopes on this side of Jordan.
The heave and surge of the
red tide of universal brother
hood has buckled the rocks
and threatened the wharves
of modern ethics, the dove of
peace from the ark of love
is fluttering above the waste
of waters, waters burdened
with uncounted tons of battle
shins bristling with defiance.
Some day the dove will flit
home with an olive leaf in her
mouth, betokening the advent
of international peace.
Some of us have been very
impatient at the delay, but
most of us have learned that
the accomplishment of great
reforms filter slowly through
the gray clay of the human
brain. Time is long and man
is immortal, so there is no
need of haste. Sometimes
we fret and chafe at the slow
progress of civilization, wish
ing for the consummation of
human perfection in our own
day, but bless you, it matters
but little to us, for we will be
there and know all about it
when the Master of destinies
leadsman into his inheritance.
The artisan of the universe
keeps chiseling away. Prin
cipalities, thrones, dynasties,
We expect to carry this "Easy Heading" page in the News Item regularly.
The topics will vary from time to time. We have conducted a department of this
ind in the New Albany Mirror for the past ten yeaas, and it has been cordially
ceived by the readers of that paper. Don't judge by this effort, wait awhile.
governments, and creeds
crumble beneath the tooth ot
time. Every human device
and structure will ultimately
succomb to the flat level of
the Supreme purpose. The
wheat that shall abide after
the flail and fan of the omni
potent thresher will be the
love we have shown toward
one another during life's lit
tle day.
But this is not what we in
tended to discuss—at least it
is not localized as we intended.
This week we are taking up
a new work in the publication
of the Laporte News Item.
This brings us in touch with
the people of Sullivan county.
We have, during the past fif
teen years been having busi
ness dealings and social inter
course with a large number
of Sullivan county people, and
take pleasure in saying that
we have found them friendly,
honorable and just.
hat we wish to do in the
first place, is to forget that
there is a county line, forget
every particle of clanishness
and regard our fellows on both
sides of the line as brothers.
How far this feeling ot broth
erhood will be allowed to run
depends upon the breadth of
the individual mind. A man
or woman who can gather
the whole world—white, red,
yellow , brown and black in
the arms of affectionate broth
erhood, is fulfilling the Divine
conception when He created
the human heart.
- We have our various creeds,
political preferences and so
cial classes, our pride of race
and country, these are but
incidents along the way, and
have no more place in the
jewel casket of eternity than
the snorting and shrieking of
the locomotive that hauls our
car to its destination has upon
our finished journey.
There are a few things
worth while in this life. One
of them is the publication of
a newspaper that labors un
tiringly for the welfare of its
clientele and for the uplifting
of humanity everywhere.
It is our purpose in entering
upon this new field of work,
to give our readers as much
more than their money's
worth as lies in our bones to
do. We are not in business
for our health, neither are we
in it altogether for profit. It
lakes a little money to keep a
newspaper alive, that must be
forthcoming or the sheriff will
write a little article for publi
cation; but the principal reas
on we are in the publishing
business is to be useful to our
fellow man.
The sacred sage said: "Be
hold how good and how pleas
ant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity." When
love rules, all the baser ele
ments are overthrown. An
old philosopeer made the
quaint assertion that the only
things worth while in the
world are "love, and bread
and butter." That's a re
markably simple creed, but
when you come to simmer it
down to elemental essence it
is not far from the truth.
Life is a pretty short prop
osition, even when the span
is extended to the uttermost
limit; and when we think ser
iously of it in that light, we
blush with shame to think we
could contemplate for a min
ute the unworthy action of
driving a sharp bargain, or
taking by fraud, (commonly
called shrewd business tact)
anything from our brother
man.
The day will dawn at last,
the watchmen upon the tow -
ers of time have heralded the
dawn many times, but each
time the glowing east has
been lighted by a glaring com
et of human illusion. The
year of jubilee is not yet, but
it will surely come. The joy
ous day when "Righteousness
shall cover the earth as the
waters cover the sea." Then
shall come the general ac
knowledgement of the univer
sal brotherhood and kinship
of the whole race of mankind.
We who have a little light can
help much toward hastening
the glad day.
