Gnest Editorial
Every citizen of every civilized country in the world is a stockholder in civilization.
We are all therefore living upon dividends derived from civilization. If this were not
true, we should be living—if indeed we had been born at all—in caves and dens of
the earth. We should be seeking to satisfy our hunger with roots and herbs of field
and forest and the uncooked flesh of wild animals. Whatever more we have been
able to learn of the wonders of nature, of the marvels of the universe, of the mysteries
of our own personalities, or of the love of God, has come to us as a dividend from
civilization.
It has been said that the first line of defense, the one impregnable fort of every
nation, is character in its citizens. A nation may be rich in land and trade, numerous
in population, secure~or perhaps insecure—behind concrete defenses and an armada
of ships and airplanes, but without a noble faith motivating its citizens, it is as noth
ing and Its feet are set upon the high road to destruction. The nation that majors on
those values which make for trustworthiness in its people is the only nation that may
look to the future tvdli reasonable certainty. The souls of men must be regenerated
if catastrophe for themselves and their common stake in civilization is not surely to
come. We cannot hope for peace and understanding in uorld affairs until we have it
in the hearts of men.
Suffering love is the only avenue through which the human individual or human
society may be emancipated. For nearly two thousand years the two extended arms of
the cross to which the hands of our Lord were nailed have borne an unlimited invita
tion to all mankind. Upon that cross was God's own expression of the indelible truth
that has been written into the very fabric of the universe that humanity is redeemed
by suffering, vicarious love,
Christ IS the pattern. If we would demonstrate His example, we, too must be
expendable.
