PAV OF LEGISLATORS

The politieal campaign and the atten

p question of the ports measure, import
ant is that is. should not overshadow en
tirely the question of cOnapenaation for

lature. which is to be voted on in the
ccming election. The eotistttutionul
amendment to inyvlde for increased pay
for ourT State Senators »«><* members of
the House of. Representatives should be

law-making body, there art nutny good
men who might render the State splendid
service who cannot afford and whose
families cannot afford the whtribntkm

largely of men who are really able nßhfc,

Literary Digest. ' ,
' A virtue of Christianity is its intoler- !
anee, the same intolerance, we are told 1
which truth bears toward falsehood; for
if it were not, and had not been Intoler
ant, we might still be bending the knee to
a bit of stone, ow be crowding Olympus
with new god*. And'naturally enough,
as Don* Marquis points Out in his col
. atan in the New York Herald Tribune.
the intolerance of Christianity has serv
f ed as a check to its spread and as an lu
, vi tat ion to persecution. Man embraces
the ceremonies and mysticism of Cbris
i tianlty; but the-practical precepts of its
Founder, we are told, haye never been po
litically applied. Where it has been at«
tempted persecution has followed.
Whether the columnist was
drawn to make thesy observations by
what Haywood Broun had to say in the
New York World does not appear, but)
previous to the pnblicathm of Mr. Mar
quis’ musings on the subject, Mt. Broun
. had written in hs own column 1 “Ai far
as 1 know, there has been ub readable
book on theology Written for the last
\ hundred years. I would rather hear
from Don Marquis about religion than
listen to aby of the ordained, - ’ and added:
‘J hnv * « notion that the religion of Don
Marqv. ;) night he a shade more warm
than that of Shaw." As we say, it does
not appear that Mr. Broun - * tribute act- x
ed as a challenge to the Herald Tribune
humorist; but. nevertheless, as be has
done before,xjfr. Marquis drops Captain
Fitsure, Arohy the CoChropoh, and Abut
Prudence, HecklebUry to reflect awhile on
religion. Concerning the necessary intol
erance of Christianity, he recalls that
imperial Rome accepted it for a time as
merely another faith, and was content
to let it aloue, along with the pagan
faiths, until it was recognised that its
principles were subversive of an imperial
state. The governors of the Roman Em
pire could have tolerated what they con
sidered the religious superstition Os the
Christians, for they thought themselves
intellectually superior to it; “but the
thing the* eould nol tolerate was the
flaming doctrine aimed directly at all
forms of injustice, oppression and slavery
on earth and at all systems which per
mit them.” The rul*s pretended to be
shocked at the Christians’ denial of tile 1
old gods; but what impelled the .rtpefs
to persecution “was not really their bo
ror of atheism so mm* is ttieir 'dread of
anarchy.” reflects:
“Jesus wpuld Undoubtedly be consider
ed an aitfrrchist today if He were alive;
and any person who attempts to apply
His principles in a thoroughgoing, un
compromising manner to a political sit
uation in ,any modern state is supprest.
There Is still precisely the same doubt,
nud fenr of the practical application of
the teachings of Jesus as there was 1900'
years ago. The fact that the Christian
religion became, under Constantine, the
official religion of the Empire means
nothing in this relation; for this was
not a triumph for the doctrines of Jesus,
but a compromise on the part of His fol
lowers, which resulted in centering the
essential struggle within the churches
themselves.
“There never has been, cm any large,
extended scale, a real test of the politi
cal opinions of Jesus; they liave never
been applied current governments arc !
still of the opinion of the aneient Rom
ans; the mystical and supernatural sym
bolism of Christianity is firmly estab
lished in the world, but the application of
its spiritual content to he general affairs
of men has never been tried. .
“The fe*rs of the modern'world ure ns „
well justified, no doubt, as tfie fears of the
ancient world; the; uncompromising prac
tise of the doctrines of Jesus would un
doubtedly, blow qll tlie established sys
tems to flinders. But people who- Call
themselves Christians will be able to pre
vent this catastrophe for a good many
years, we dare say,”
Real Chriatianity. Mr. Marquis goes
on, is necessarily Intolerant of fraud, in-,
justice and oppression; and while its*
aim is to bring peace to the world, it is
obvious that it can not bring peace un
til it has achieved ultimate triumph, t'or
“The moment- it abates, by one whisper,
its intolerant idealism, it Ceases to ex
ist; it becotnes something else; it is ab
solute, or its is nothing; it can not make
terms, or it defeats itself ; It can pardon,
all sinners, but never any sin: its most
mild-seeming precepts are really explos
ive paradoxes: it is nothing to be trifled
with: eventually the human race, as it
finds itself on this planet, must either
extirpate it completely or practise it sin
cerely if it wants any xhst; it is impossi
ble to HVe near it without taking some
attitude toward it. Most of the troubles
of the world, since it appeared, have
been stirred up in one dray qj another by
the action of this idealism, on the hu
mnna spirit; people Who ure touched
with it may and do compromise, but. the
thing itsefi’ does not compromise.
“We Wonder what We would have I
done if we had been a Roman emperor
1 TOO - years ago. and reports Mod been
Brought to us of the spread Os the new
sect, We would probably -hdve said to
ourselves: ‘Shall We order another perse
cution-/ Or wiU it dp any good? It is a
pity that the calm temper of the phiioso- \
libers can not gradually spread ov*r all
the Roman . world, fostering toleration
and gradually banishing all these super
stitions, unchallenged by any new sect
of fanatics and absolutists wno iusist on
a superhuman conduct. If I wete to tol
erate them, still their doctrines will not
tolerate me—»os how can I afford to tol
qyate them/ No; there can he no peace
until they are wiped out.’
V'BOe conceivably", we might order the
persecution to begjn. Perhaps you wou)d
not. You spy you wouldn’t. But let’s;
see what you do the next time one 6f
the, genuine ones—who are the samp now
a* they Were tlien—takes a stand subver
sive of the social order from which you dc- .
MW ynur wealth,.your eemfort, your ipt
parfgiiee or your safety. For the real
fitfig doesn't change: it Is still iB the
world, struggling, active, practical, un
compromising, dangerous, spiritual.’’
