Page Two THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL. N. C. September 2mber 22, IS The evil which good men do There exists in the world today the axiom that life is a princely joust and only the good knight can win. This belief, along with the caricature of a good man who attends church regularly, never smokes, drinks, or curses, holds all the correct opinions and doesn’t eat onions, has persisted throughout ages of otherwise pro gressive thought. This ‘good’ man also has a dreadful fear of wrongdoing, an even greater horror of wrong thinking and it is usually his goodliness that safe guards society against those who question the wisdom of the views generally accepted by every one else. It stands to reason that a bad man would be the contrary of the one described above; a man who might smoke, drink occasionally, even utter a bad word upon provocation and he may spend an occasional Sunday somewhere other than church. He may even go so far as to contend that what is called ‘wrongthinking’ is actually thinking while ‘rightthinking’; repeating words like a parrot. Now a man such as this could never hold any position of authority such as professor or pastor since such positions are open only to ‘good’ men. Let us look into history at some typically ‘bad’ men. Socrates was persecuted by ‘good’ men who forced him to drink hemlock. Another eminent philosopher was also considered wicked and con demned to die by ‘good’ men. His name was Jesus. Wordsworth, in his youth, was a ‘bad’ man. He sympathized with the French Revolution and wrote brilliant poetry. In his later years he became a ‘good’ man, adopted ‘correct’ prin ciples and wrote bad poetry. His counterpart, Coleridge, while wicked, wrote “The Ancient Mariner” and “Christabel.” When he became ‘good’ he daubled in theology and dissipation. Everyone knows how wicked Darwin and Galileo were. Galileo was threatened with torture when he was 70 because he taught the absurd doctrine that the earth revolved around the sun. Consider the field of medicine. It is horrify ing to think of what we would know about medi cine and the preservation of health if we had not been protected from this heterodox knowl edge by similar ‘good’ men. And sometimes good men are victims of the time. The Archduke Francis Ferdinand, as sassinated in Sarajevo, was, in all probability, a good man. And if he had not been killed there would probably have been no war and the world would not have been made safe for democracy. It is quite unfortunate that all these wicked men achieved immortal fame. But from these and many more it seems that a ‘good’ man is one whose opinions and actions coincide with and please those who are in power. But perhaps someday reason will prevail, petty faults which plague such a large number of us will become insignificant and a man will be considered good if he is happy, wishes others to be happy, is generous and altruistic. Out of the dark past comes a new character to Mors HiU, on intellectual caveman called Gort. He is one of the favorite cartoon characters on college campuses today, and the Hilltop is pleased to be able to bring his pre-historic humor to Mars Hill. CThe Hilltop Box 486-T, Mars HilL N. C.
