What Is The Solution?

BY
SCRUTATOR
To-day men have seriously begun to suspect that religion is brotherhood and that brother- hood is polities; that religion which is not brotherhood is a He, and that polities which is not brotherhood is murder. True religion and true politics are identical in aim-the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth.

hatred.
Despite the blood and confusion of modern wars the only real struggle at present being waged in the world is between those who know this to be the truth and are prepared to live for it. and those who while knowing it. for the sake of a cheap personal aggrandise-inheren: ment are determined to resist it. It is the Christiad taith however, that brotherhood will triumph be- cause it must: but that its even- tual triumph will only succeed tribulation and famine, and per- chance, after the desolation of a universal war. la no mère alarmist prophecy but a statement of very TU save hu- real probabilities. manity from this, is the duty of every informed Christian to-day.
THREE WORDS
Quite recently we overheard a <conversation between two young men, whose pride it is to be con- sidered as intellectuals. they were discussing "the greatest thing in the world," and the sum total of the opinions of
the
one were the magic word epitomised La "Stalin," and of the other in the equally magic but more elusive
word "money." These two words with the certain addition of the word "Mussolini" represent in erypile statement the creeds most general in our day and generation. "Stalin," "money." "Mussolini" --what are they? What do they mean? Broadly interpreted, the meaning of them is to be found in the word "self." "Stalin" repre- sents the selfish interests of one class and the evils of class-war- fare, "Mussolin" represents the Sahness and self-assertion of a bigoted nationalism; while "money" is the superscription of the lives of The majority of people who live und die in the world to-day. Self. the determining factor In the world's life spells confusion con- let, disaster: so long as it is pre- dominant wars within the nations, and between the nations are inevit- น •able. Economic individualism within the nation, means reonomic Individualism between the nations.
You can never bring brotherhood into being by exciting anger and hatred or by bidding men follow Revolution- their naked interests, ory politics based on self-interest. no matter how large the unit re- presented. car never create any- thing but evil. The supreme ex- ample of this is being demonstrat- ed before our eyes in Spain where the Communist usurpation of pow er in the interests of the working class alone has been followed by
The first divides the world into national economie Individualities. and the second segregates man- kind from one another on a basis of selfish class-interests, both are equally.destructive of true policies and true relly.on as defined in terms of universal brotherhood.
True brotherhood is a union of free, taking men
s
and women, who admit the allenable right of every living belag to the best that fe can provide. "Liberty, to know, to utter, and to argue tree- ly, according to conscience" surely the privilege of every In- dividual who is conscious of his responsibilities as a citizen of the world, but such liberty is denied

As
The life at self-interest and the Life o imagination which brother- hood imples cannot exist together. There has never been any true vision of life which was not called Utopian, Plato's and Christ's in- cluded. because 'magination, un- selfiah vision, always anticipates experience and the experience of mankind to date is an experience determined by selfish interests and ambitions.

Christianity has nothing what- ever to do with the motives behind the soul-shattering Spanish tragedy.

That we should be asked to believe that the Moors are returning willingly to fight, under a Christian banner for the triumph of a Christian cause. especially when that triumph means the establishment, of an autocratic rule under which their own race once grievously suffered, is making what is already a pitiable and horrible national calamity, into an ugly frisanity as well,
