The Editor reserves the right to abridge, amend or withhold any letter or letters. THE REAL ISSUE Sir, —I -herewith enclose you an article under the heading of Real Issue. I am not religiously inclined but one has to use Biblical quotations as a background to support historical statement Biblical quotations are the best known facts, many of which have been proved as such as time passed. The article will be interesting to many of your readers. You, Sir,, and many thinkers can open the gate,, t to some thing better than mankind ' has waged through during the last half century and, as things are at present, nothing better is in sight but slaughter. Yours etc., P. MORA. Mr Mofa’s article follows: The world is my country, mankind my brethren. My religion is to do good. What a gathering of words, all the commandments that have been written, never fitted a world, more in wanting for brotherhood, ability or for good. / . We have just finished up the greatest slaughter of human life not foretold by the mind of man, yet some mind can place words that pictures a world of good, Then what’s waiting, the world is here, ready and willing to provide man and beast, certainly, it has been well scared down through ages by wars the result of man’s action it must be those that live in it my brethren.

Christ came on earth alone representing the world’s Creator and laid the foundation of the world to j be promising the Creator’s help in all our difficulties. His commandments were the rituals initiating - [mankind to his brotherhood. The I world’s places of .worship the conI gregations \yere appealed to as brethren/./ Af / / ' ’ffidLworld right/ then, it must ~ be-ftne brethren that/is atjfault, lets t/ace/this brethren!' places of wor- .. ship still approach their congregations as brethren two or three of the world’s greatest friendly societies approach their members as brethren, one, of which I am familiar, cultivates, the word brother in all its sense from its earliest history, foresight and companionship has bound their brotherhood.

Napoleon, had no brethren. The Kaiser or Hitler either they approached the world under arms to destroy their would-be brothers here force endeavours to master feelings Church Societies Lodges and many places of meeting hold the key the best feeling brotherhood asks. If these don’t survive some one is not playing the game. To play the game is a prayer taught in early childhood. Now any fault in the real issue is not with the world. Some one is at fault, in building mankind, to live as brethren, religion will always play the game and that is guaranteed. § Quite! —Editor.
