A Way to Peace Man seems to flounder around rather helplessly in his at– tempt to find a stable foundation to rest his hope of interna– tional goodwill and peace for all mankind. The average American citizen is at a loss as to how to cope with a mixed up, very tense international situation that leaves him all but defeated in his quest for an answer to world peace. One good place for American man to start is at home. One good way to prove to the rest of the world how sincere and honest is the American talk of peace is to practice it for all of the world to see. This page can think of no better roots for peace than these ten commandments of goodwill we herewith reprint from Temple BethEl Bulletin, Jersey City, N.J. I I will respect all men and women regardless of race anci reJ.igion. II I will protect and defend my neighbor and my neigh– bor's children against the ravages of racial or religious bigotry. III I will exemplify in my own life the spirit of goodwill and understanding. IV I will challenge the philosophy of racial superiority by whomsoever it may be proclaimed, whether they be kings, dictators or demagogues. v I will not be misled by the lying propaganda of those who seek to set race against race or nation against nation. VI I will refuse to support any organization that has for its pmpose the spreading of Anti-Semitism, Anti-Cathol– icism or Anti-Protestantism. VII I will establish comradeship with those who seek to exalt the spirit of love and reconciliation throughout the world. VIII I will attribute to those who differ from me the degree of sincerity that I claim for myself. IX same I will uphold the civil rights and religious liberties of all citizens and groups whether I agree with them or not. X I will do more than live and let live-! will live and help live. Dr. Walter W. VanKirk. It isn't difficult for man to follow these ten simple com– mandments of goodwill. It doesn't take much effort. What it does take is the feeling of humanitarianism, the courage to stand up for a belief and the faith so necessary if man is to find peace of mind.
