The value of history is not bunk We were gratified by the response to the last week's first column ‘on Castlegar’s first ferryman, Captain ‘Little Jimmy’ Davidson and had hoped to have the second ready for this week's issue of the Castlegar News. He , & pile-up of pond uding a “Letter to the’ Editor” regarding last Saturday’ long article in the Sun on Westminster Abbey ( worth looking up), special articles, a touch of, the but particularly difficulty in getting pictures for the ferry article, has caused a little delay. Next week we hope. This week's article, meanwhile, is dedicated to a certain Irish friend of mine. Long life to him! — JAC. . 8 «6 The following column was written several years ago, and I was reminded of it when earlier this year a friend of mine quoted Henry Ford for my benefit. I was again reminded, more recently, in the light of current events in this province and elsewhere, and I feel that it bears repeating. Henry Ford, who adopted someone else's idea of the assembly line system to build motor cars, said, “History is bunk.” See if you can guess where the following was taken, and judge for yourself the value of his opinions: the value of the study of history. “For a week they continued to massacre such of their country men as they regarded as their enemies. The crime imputed to their victims was that of plotting the overthrow of the proletariat, but there were individuals who met their death in satisfaction of private feuds, while others died at the hands of their debtors. Death reigned in all its most horrible forms, and as is apt to happen in such situations there was no limit to the extent of which atrocities were carried. “In every country there were struggles between the leaders of the proletariat and the reactionaries in their efforts to gain allies from (the two great powers). In peacetime they would not have had either the opportunity nor the desire to call in the foreigners; but now there was war, and it was easy for any revolutionary spirits on either side to procure an alliance involving the i of their and the cor di forced by the logic of events; but war eats away the margins of ordinary life and, in most characters, adjusts the temperment to the new environment by its brutal training . “So the countries became infected with the class war in which each successive outbreak had a cumulative effect upon the next. It was a competition of ingenuity in the elaboration of intrigue and the refinement of reprisals. The customary meaning of words was arbitrarily distorted to cover the conduct of those who employed them. Reckless irresponsibility was treated as coura- geous loyalty, cautious reserve as cowardice under a high-sounding name, restraint as poor-spiritedness, use of the policy of reason as laissez-faire, a frenzied fanaticism with the ideal of conduct. Violence of feeling was a proof of honesty, opposition to violence as a signal of suspicion. Success in intrigue was the test intelligence and the detection of intrigue as superior intelligence. “Complicity in crime was more binding in loyalty to an engagement than a solemn oath and a fair offer from opponents was received as a signal for practical precautions. And the cause for the whole phenomenon was the thirst for power. “In all the countries the party leaders invented high sounding catch-words and posed as the champions of political equality for the masses or of moderate conser- vatism, in order to make spoils out of the public interest which they serve with their lips. They did not shrink from verdicts immorally obtained (and) naked force. In fact, religion had lost its hold upon either party. “Meanwhile, the moderate elements of every country were preyed upon by extremists of both camps. Partly for their refusal to take sides and partly out of resentment at the prospect of their survival. “Thus, the class war plunged society into every kind ## of moral evil.” The story of the French Revolution? The Russian Revolution? A comment on the situation today? Or a projection into the future in the ‘Nineteen Eighty Four’ tradition of George Orwell, “Time Machine” of Wells or the ‘Brave New World’ of Huxley. If you guessed any of these possibilities you are wrong. The events mentioned above are true and happened, but not in modern times. They are extracts from the writings of the Greek historian, Thucydides, on the class wars which occurred in Greece and which eventually destroyed the remarkable civitization. They were written about 2,400 years ago. A timely and eternal comment on the perspective of history and the philosophies of certain political theories whose basic tenet is “class war,” is it not? Mr. Ford, who knew only how to build motor cars, reinforcement of their own side. “This excess of class war brought one calamity upon another upon the countries — calamities that occur and will continue to occur so long as human nature remains what it is . . . Under the favorable conditions of peacetime, both countries and individuals display:.a sweeter reasonableness, because their hands are not was a gnat of the cosmos, for history is a signpost rooted firmly in the present but with arms pointing to both the past and the future. Someone said that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Whether this is entirely true, is, of course, open to debate, but I have no doubt whatsoever that, we ignore our past at the peril of our future for they are all one. By Pastor IRA JOHNSON Kinnaird Church of God CHRISTIAN UNITY ... WHY NOT? One of the most serious criticisms levelled at Chris- tianity today has to do with its lack of unity. People say “Look how divided Chris- tianity is... If Christ is sup. posed to be the hope and light of the world, how come there is so much clutter and confusion surrounding the message of Christ today? How do you expect me to be- lieve the Christian message if Christians themselves cannot agree with one another?” Without a doubt, many people are hindered and con fused by these apparent div isions. A careful study of St. John 17 makes it very clear that Christ desired unity among all who became his followers He prayed earnestly, not only for those of His day, but for all who would believe down through the centuries of time. Better than anyone else, He knew that lack of unity would seriously hinder the effectiveness of the Christian faith in a needy world. (Read St. John 7:11-23) BARRIERS TO UNITY True unity can only occur when there is complete loy Film series here The Castlegar Ministerial Association is sponsoring a four-part film series called Blessings Out of Brokenness.

Old Testament his- tory gives eloquent witness to the beauty and power of Ged’s people when they had a single-minded devotion to God and His truth. However, when there was a loss of true devotion, when there was a transfer of trust to rituals and ceremonies, and human leadership, that power and unity suffered a very serious setback! (See Amos 5:21-24) Christ our Lord could not help but charge the priests of His day with placing far too much emphasis on their temple, their traditions and ceremonies, and not nearly enough on devotion to God and truth, and unity and love for their fellowmen. Paul in his correspondence to the church at Corinth warned the Christians there to get their eyes off human leaders and become serious about accepting the Lordship of Christ. (See 1 Cor: 1:10-13) Read church history, and you will see again and again that neglecting the Lordship of Christ, and stressing hu- man leadership with the re- sulting build-up of doctrines and traditions, has brought about divisions and thé loss of the effectiveness of the Christian witness. The Lordship of Christ Is it possible for Christians to find true unity? Are there steps we can take that will promote unity at the grass- roots level? What if we were to get back to the simplicity that Christ our Lord sug- gested when He said there ments that sum up all the law and the prophets: (See Matt @2:37-40) If everyone who names the name of Christ would truly accept the Lordship of Christ in daily life, there would in- evitably be a move in the right direction. As less attention was for- cussed on our differences, and our man-made traditions, God's spirit would have a chance to unite us under the loving lordship of Christ!
