Book Description
Excerpt from Cumorah's Southern Messenger, Vol. 9: 20th June, 1935 On the great national questions brought before statesmen for their decision, men equally able, equally sincere, just and un selfish, differ in their remedies. One, as a surgeon, suggests cutting away the offending matter, the use of the knife this typifies the sword, or war. Another, as a doctor, urges medicine that will absorb and cure - this is the prescription of the diplomat. The third suggests waiting for developments, leaving the case with time and nature - this is the conservative. But all three classes agree as to the evil and the need of meeting it. The conflict of authorities on every great question to be settled by human judgment should make us tolerant of the Opinion Of others, though we may be as confident of the rightness of the judgment we have formed as if it were foreordained from the days of the creation. But if we receive any new light that makes us see clearer, let us change at once without that foolish consistency Of some natures that continue to use last year's almanac as a guide to this year's eclipses. Toler ance is ever progressive. Intolerance believes it is born with the peculiar talent for managing the affairs of others, without any knowledge of the details better than the men themselves, who are giving their life's thought to the vital questions. Intolerance IS the voice of the P'harisee still crying through the ages and proclaiming his infallibili'ty.
