PAGE TWO (By David The subject of should be of vital interest to every, fair-minded person, The Eney-| clopedia Brittannica says: ‘“Toler- enee means allowance of freedom of action or judgment to other people.” In short, it means, “To ive 1 let live’—to appreciate the other man’s viewpoint. The din and roar of cannon of the late World War is still fresh in our minds. yet healed the cruel misery and the fatherless homes that resulted from the most terrible of all wars the world has ever known. It will take years and years of labor to help rebuild what the few years of war have undone—and_ even then, we cannot make a complete job. All this came about just be- cause some nation was greedy and arrogant—it did not want to live and let live. The subject of Tolerance is usually thought of as applying to| religion, but it is a broad topic, and also applies to everything we do in life. Tolerance is needed in| industry. Labor and should be considerate of each other; they should remember that eath is an ‘essential element. in production. Tolerance should not only be applied to the people in one’s own country, but to other nations, and lastly, to all man- kind. If nations would learn to be tolerant to each other in the same way as individuals should, much of the misunderstandings which culminate in wars, with the resulting misery, would be greatly lessened. We are beginning to realize, as never before, that we cannot live to ourselves, but what affects other nations, has a direct effeet upon us. The establish-! ment of the World Court, to which we have agreed to become a mem- ber, is a step in the right direction. It is a realization that we are all members of one big human family. It is an enlargement of our hori- zon to include the world. \ It is in Religion that Intolerance bas been greatest. Oh Religion, what crimes have been committed in thy name! From time imme- morial, massacres and wholesale butchery of communities have been carried out with carefully made plans—all because of differ- ences in some minor details in creeds. What an inspiring spec- taele! Is God such a jealous ruler that such small and petty differ- énices would justify the taking of ~ life? * A certain ring was an heirloom in’a family—the wearer of it pos- sessed admirable qualities. The father who owned it had three sons; he had two exact duplicates fhade upon his death-bed, he gave ring to each of his sons and told Seach that it was the original ring. Who had the true one? We don’t know; it is immaterial. And so it is with the question of which} feligion is the best. One fellow} was asked “Why are you a Cath- elie?” He replied, “Why are you) a Protestant?” Why should not the Christian, Jew or Moham- medan worship according to the) feligion he believes in? After all, these three great religions. are | based on the belief in one God. The thing to do is to follow ofr own respective religions and try to make the best of it—to lead a} lean life and treat your fellow- men fairly and justly. True Reli- gion is a_ seeking after great) things—it is a desire to serve hu- manity, to create, to produce, to go forward. America is a cosmopolitan coun- try—this country was built people of numerous nations hav- ing a great diversity of ideas. As President Coolidge recently re- marked, whether one’s ancestors came over in the Mayflower 300 years ago, or in the steerage three years ago, makes no difference— we are all in the same boat now, working for a greater and better country.

What mockery was made of} the inventors of the steamboat, of ‘the airplane, of the telegraph—in |short, of all modern inventions; |these inventions would have been |impossible if everyone thought and jacted alike. | Strange as it may seem, yet it is nevertheless true that when the | persecuted ones sectre the upper} jhand, they in turn become the pe | seeutors, and are a hundred times | more intolerant. Witness the nar- row minded bigotry of the Puri- |tans when they came to America |to have freedom to worship God} \as they desired. Did they not drive out Roger Williams, whose greatest ambition was to secure |real religious liberty, and other! | conscientious ministers of the gos- pel, just because of slight differ- \ences of religious views? Was this jthe Tolerance the Puritans advo- | vated? Again, let us recall the present |cond tions of affairs in Russia and |before the Russian Revolution in 1918—surely. it cannot be said that the present goyernment is more tolerant than the regime of the late Czar Nicholas.

THE COMEDIANS AND THE TRAGEDIAN.. |ernments are equally despetic | the change was only in theorv, but the underlying principle of hoth governments is the sameo—brutal intolerance of the rights of other. We are hearing every day abovt the battles that are be’ng waged in sore-bleeding Europe, which is} trying to convalesce from its seri- ous operation. The real causes of these elements are present, ‘we | cannot expect to find the practice lof the Golden Rule. What is the cause of Intoler- ance? In primitive days, man had to form groups to survive—the | desire to survive was supreme, and | |individual freedom of thought and} action gave way, and was sacri- ficed to group action. “Thou Shalt Not” decrees were numerous. | But since yman does not have to depend on’ group’action to survive today, the exeuse for Intolerance ha’ lost its usefulness, and should be discarded. Tradition and men- tal laziness are also responsible for much of the Intolerance today. “Why should I change—what was good enough for my family in the past, is good enough for me.” Cer- tainly, such an attitude does not make for progress. The Greeks and the Romans allowed the peo- ple to talk and write what they desired—their philosophy was: if the people have anything to say that is good, we ought to know it, and if not good, it will soon be for- gotten. Intolerance today is a sign of weak faith. One who is certain of his truth can afford to be courteous to other opinions. We need not be afraid of the |truth—it will always triumph. | ‘The framers of our Constitu- tion, taking advantage of the mis- takes made by other countries, |provided in the Constitution that | “Congress shall make no law which ‘referred to the establishment of |free exercise thereof.” The Unit- ed States was the first country to separate religion from politics. | This tolerant attitude that we have {adopted is one of the underlying} causes for our present greatness. We have taken up the Standard of Tolerance where Greece and Rome left off. | In the words of Milton, “The liberty to know, to utter and to argue freely according to our own conscience, is the highest form of | Liberty.” | Tolerance will prevail when man | triumphs over his own fear, and when he learns to think for him-| self. we cannot expect this to| take place overnight; it is a slow} jand lengthy process.
