Greater Radicalism Cure For World’s Present Unrest Current So-Called “Radical” Movements Do Not Go Deep Enough—Paul’s Proposal Really Reaches Root Os Matter — Love As A Revolutionary Power.
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Red radicalism has half the contemporary world scared. Radical” la a proper term of condemnation for anybody with whom we hap-1 pen to disagree. One face of the world's bogeyman is radical communism; the other face of radical focism. Between the two, mankind is in a Jittery stage. Really, what is wrong with the •present-day social panaceas is not that they are radical, but that they are not radical enogh. ‘ Radical” means ‘‘root"; and neither communism nor fascism, nor yet any of the other social innovations in between, really goes to the root of the matter. We must look for a more radical remedy than any thaX As being pnocitumed from soapboxes or society dinner tables. These are ail to be rejected as mere sperficial expedients, and inadequate half-way measures. Something Istier. more vital and more workable must be found. Here Is Real Radicalism Fortnately, what we seek is right at hand for everybody’s consideration. Majiy millions of Sunday school members will be studying it this week. For in Saint Paul's matchless presentation of love we have the philosophy which reaches farther than any of te social mid (political plans now clamoring for attention. Here we are dealing with what Henry Drummond called “The Greatest TThing in the World" — and Drummond's masterly analysis of this Thirteenth Chapter of Corinthians shold be read and re-read by any one giving serious attention to the abject. Paul himself definitely contrasts love with the two other major passions. hope and faith, and affirms categorically that love is the greatest of the three. For love strikes at the root. lit controls human beasts. It shapes all the thoughts and actions of life. It transform® personality. lilt recreates socitay. It alone is sufficiently. radical to meet all the (perplexing needs of the world’s present predicament. In the coldest and most delierate calculation possible to this one —and to multitudes far abler —the only way out for the world is the love way. Greatest of All Classics Instead of writing around this revolutionary message of Paail to the turbulent and imperfect Christians of Corinth, let us read his words for ourselves; ‘ Though 1 speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as Bonding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though 1 have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mvx-

teries and al! knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not Love, I am nothing. And ! though 1 bestow all my goods to ; feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not Love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is kind; i Love envieth not; Love vaunteth I not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her won. is not easily proi voked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth . not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; bearcth all thing®, believ1 eth all things, hopets all things, ' endureth all things. Love never .faileth us whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy In part. But when that which is, perfect is some, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was ( a child, I spake as a child. I under- ‘ stood as a child. I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face; now 1 know in part; but then shall I know even as also 1 am known. And now abideth faith, hove. Love, these three; but the greatest of these lb Love.” It Is Being Tried ' Last night I read an absorbing British booklet, "Drums of Peace,” which portrayed in detail the efforts of the Oxford Group Movement. at Geneva and in many nations. to bring about a new world order, based upon ‘“the four aht solutes” — absolute honesty, ab- : solute purity, absolute unselfishness and alxsolute love. These a,re the marks of the God-controlled ■ life. And the basis of the international activities of the Group is that only God-controlled individuals can creates a God-controlled society. From the four quarters of the globe, and the islands of the set, thrilling storfies arc told of ’ how the grea,t and the lowly have : been changed, and are bringing to pass in real life the practice of the daricalism of live, as taught by i Paul and Jesus, ajid exemplified on Calvary. In a new sei- a, confronted by cliaotic world conditions, we may quote the venerale phrase, "Love > will find away.” What self- ; interest and pride and ambition and fea,r and rivalry and greed cannot do, is possible for love. A single life, or a community, : lived according to the pattern of Paula exposition of love, will be both transformed and transforming. Here is an impulse and a standard and a power that is great
enough for any emergency. After all. the Infinite's way out for man is the Jove way. God has all power and all wlstdom; and He could ha,ve regimented humanity an no earthly dictator had dared dread of doing. Instead, true to His own nature, He chose the way of love. "God so loved that He gave.” Old versions of Scripture translated this word "love” as ‘‘chag’ity,” which nowdays means only one or two aspects of love. In the original Greek the word, “agape" Is the same ae that which John used when he wrote, "'God Is love." The all-powerful e“ntiment which Paul expounds is synonymous with the natuie of the Deity Himself. There are many chean imitations of love —luet. vanity, selfishness, sentimentality — but they are to th® real thing as the paste jewels of the five and ten cent stores are to genuine gems. None of the imitations can stand the tests of time and use; but the love that is of God is equal to every personal need and every international crisis. SSang Mre.
