As a first article of faith it is superb we really mean it All of us will subscribe to It gladly hut it may lead us further than we have thought If we do not look out In any case why seek merely a minimum faith? If we want to live a maximum life we want to know not how little we must believe but how much we can believe and be true to the truth In a fine letter another reader asks: Are we just talking about the Golden Rule or do we really believe in It? There Is as much cant he adds about the Golden Rule as there Is about other creeds In order then to clear our minds of cant let us say the Golden Rule over to ourselves in earnest asking ourselves if we honestly mean it It may surprise us if we see our real creed the creed we actually live by written out In black and white and not a piece of perfumed sontl ment To believe In the Golden Rule means that we believe that all Rabies everywhere should he as well horn and kindly tended as we would have our own It means that every mother shoukl be as pro tected and respected as we would have the mother dearest to us It means that every child should be as Joyous and every youth as free to come to his own as we could wish ours to And that every man should De free to stretch his arms his soul and look up from the lap of earth into the face of God as we do Nay more The Golden Rule means that every labor should he as honored and as fairly rewarded as we wish our labor to be That all lives should be as blessed with light and leisure as we claim for ourselves Also that the higher values for which we crave shouM be open and available to all mankind In short that every man woman and child everywhere should have the love and kindness the justice and generosity which we desire so keenly for ourselves and those dearest to us Do we really believe in the religion of the Golden Rule or are we Just talking about it?
