‘Grey Eminénce’

Where there is no vision, the people perish; ... if those who are the salt of the earth lose their savour, there is nothing to keep’ that earth disinfected, nothing to prevent it from falling into complete decay. The mystics are channels through which a little knowledge of reality filters down into our human universe of ignorance and illusion. A totally unmystical world would be a world totally” blind and insane. From the beginnings of the eighteenth century onwards, the sources of all mystical knowledge have been steadily diminishing in number, all over the planet. We are dangerously advanced into the darkness.For several centuries now, Europe has been the battleground for an attack upon the very existence of the spirit of man, though it was during and after the eighteenth century that the attack reached its height; and it is man who has been more or less consistently the loser till almost the whole of his heritage has been taken from him. The stature of Christian man was infinite—we speak of Christian doctrine and belief not practice quia omnes nos peccavimus : we betray what we believe but that does not invalidate the beliefs—because seeking first the kingdom of heaven he could find oneness with God and be tilled, and all the other things, the knowledge and love of created things and joy in them, and the whole of a happy human life, were added to him.

Human Needs and Human Wants

The physical needs of man are few—food and fuel, clothes and dwelling place. His wants are as many as his desires.The weakness of capitalism is that it neglects the needs and continually ministers to the wants; seeking to gratify every whim, wholesome or unwholesome, that the natural man confesses. Why this is so can be seen without difficulty.The aim of the capitalist—and by the capitalist we mean the managing director of companies and amalgamation of companies—is to secure profits for the payment of interest to the people who have lent him money; that is to the shareholders. Our captains of industry do not ask, “Is this needful?” but “Will it pay?” when some fresh venture is proposed. Nor do our captains of industry, our ennobled and knightly masters of big business, consider whether the toil of tending, year in, year out, machines for the production of trivial luxuries is employment worthy of a Christian man. It is compulsory labour; the machine-minder is free to starve if he declines the job. (Indeed thousands are thankful for this employment, so thankful that positive gratitude is expressed, for permission to endure the monotony of the factory, sure of a regular wage. No wonder, too, when they are married, with wife and children and some measure of domestic happiness dependent on the weekly wage, that thankfulness is expressed.)

The Origin of the Tuareg

the Chief of the Staff, who had planned how they would help me. The latter was a Christian man, and he took me aside into a little room, where he knelt down and thanked God for my escape. It was a most touching experience, and when I could find words I said to him, It is an extraordinary thing that you have done. Why did you send a man who was a bandit to try and help me to get away ? His reply made everything quite clear. He said, Nobody but a bandit would dare to go into the bandit camp; we had to employ a bandit for the purpose, and his instructions were that when he got into touch with the bandits he should bargain with them, and if they would not come down in their terms, then he was to give some money to the guards and ask them to help. That was what had happened, and the guards were ready to help me to escape. I was very thankful that the time in the hands of the brigands was not longer, and I must say this before you all: that I believe that God Himself overruled things and delivered me out of the hands of the bandits. lThe PRESIDENT: Well, ladies and gentlemen, we have heard a good deal in the course of the last two or three years about people being taken by Chinese bandits, but I do not think any of us have ever listened to such a story at first hand as that which Dr. Gordon Thompson has just told. It only makes us feel more warmly towards him, if possible, than we felt before.

XV.—The Treasury of God and the Birthright of the Poor; or Facts illustrating the origin of “Parsons” and “Vicars” in England

The treasury or portion of Grod is a convenient term, based on the language of the seventeenth canon of the Council of Chelsea in 787 and other authorities, to express that portion of a Christian man's income and property which is or ought to be devoted to religious and charitable purposes, the maintenance of the bishop and clergy, the support of the sick and the poor, and the upkeep of the fabric and the necessaries of public worship. The birthright (patrimonium) of the poor, another convenient phrase which comes to us from the thirteenth century, consists of one portion only of the treasury of Grod, the part devoted to the support of the sick and the poor.
