Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World.) HE headline is the title of Winwood Reade’s great book—a book that In “The Martyrdom of Man” the author shows how poor humanity has been duped and plundered, in a word, literally martyred in body, mind and The Martyrdom of Man By the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory | | every one should read who wishes to learn what fools and jackasses human beings have been for countless ages. soul, to its various institutions—martyred to them instead of being served by them. The idea may be made as clear as day by the story of the great English surgeon, John Hunter. Hunter was called to Paris in consultat'on, the case being one in which it would be necessary to perform a very difficult surgical | Operation. Hunter gave his opinion and was overruled. The cutting was done, and the patient died. Hunter, being one of Shapespeare's “plain, blunt men,” said to the operators, “You damned fools, I told you what would happen if you persisted in holding on to your idiotic old theories, and now I hope you are satisfied.” “It is quite true, sir,” replied the Paris surgeons, “that the patient died—but it was a most deautiful operation, and followed the books to the letter.” | The fect that the patient died amounted to nothing. The main duty tn the case was to “follow the books.” The THEORY had to be maintained, and if the patient los! his life, no very great harm was done, since the theory remained in all its beautiful prestige! To have changed the theory | would have been a crime. It was all right to kill the patient. | In just such a way as that, poor humanity has been degraded and en- | slaved and murdered for thousands of years. \ To the merest THEORY, in Church and state, men and women have| been destroyed by the millions. The institutions which from the very be-| ginning should have existed for the sole purpose of doing humanity good | found their chief work and highest satisfaction in doing humanity evil. | “The state? I am the state!” exclaimed the ignorant egoist, Louis the | Fourteenth, and we know what that theory did for poor France. France | hed no rights as against the old lie about “Divine Right.” | And in the realm of religion it has been the same. The THEORIES have come first. From the earliest times noble spirits inside the churches | as well as outside of them have been shocked by the thought of the eternal | damnation of millions of human beings, but the reply has come, “Let them be damned. Our business is to maintain the system and its theories. We are sorry for them, of course we are, but we can't fool with the doctrines.” | It will be remompered how, in the days of Jesus, the Good Teacher was roundly rebuked by those orthodox gentlemen, the Scribes and the Phar- | isees, for permitting his Disciples, when hungry, to break the law about working on the Satbath; and how Jesus silenced them with the tmmortal reply: “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” It | was as though he had sald, in so many words, “Get out with your nonsense | about the Sabbath. No matter how holy the Sabbath may be, {t is not 80! holy as are the crying necessities of my Disciples.” | It is a long call from the scene in the cornfield in Judea to the confer- | ence of Indiana parsons at Purdue University last week, but the situation is similar. The Hoosier clergymen, by unanimous vote, decided that it is perfectly right to work on Sunday, to raise bread and meat for the soldiers who are fighting “over there” to beat down the “German Devil’”—who is trying to destroy civilization. If I were Col. Roosevelt I would say, “Bully for the Hoosier parsons!" No doubt those parsons have a very high regard for the Sabbath, just as Jesus did, but, like their great Captain, they feel that when it comes to the great question of human necessity—the necessity of saving the decencies and liberties of mankind, the Sabbath, and everything else, must take a back seat. I believe that as a result of the great shaking-up that {s being given by the world war, the martyrdom of man Is to cease al] along the line. The old theories, of every sort, are going to totter and fall, and in their place will stand forth for all to read, the glorious motto: HUMANITY FIRST, Betty Vincent's | HOME PAGE Tuesday, July 30, 1918 Good!
