  Section fourteen. The better time to come. We might all be freed from
• 0:07
  it very soon if men and women would only think. For the average man
• 0:12
  is not, after all a brute, but means to be kind, if
• 0:16
  only he knew how. He does not think. He goes on from day
• 0:20
  to day and does not realize that he is taking part all the time in
• 0:25
  an awful crime. But facts are facts, and there is no escape from
• 0:30
  them. Every One who is partaking of this abomination is helping to make this
• 0:35
  appalling thing a possibility, and undoubtedly shares the responsibility for it. You know
• 0:42
  that it is so, and you can see what a terrible thing it is.
• 0:46
  But you will say, what can we do to improve matters? We
• 0:51
  who are only tiny units in this mighty, seething mass of humanity. It
• 0:57
  is only by units rising above the rest and becoming more civilized that we shall
• 1:02
  finally arrive at a higher civilization of the race as a whole. There is
• 1:07
  a golden age to come, not only for man, but for the lower
• 1:11
  kingdoms, a time when humanity will realize its duty to its younger brothers,
• 1:17
  not to destroy them, but to help them and train them, so that
• 1:22
  we may receive from them not terror and hatred, but love and devotion,
• 1:27
  and friendship and reasonable cooperation. A time will come when all the forces of
• 1:34
  nature shall be intelligently working together towards the final end, not with constant suspicion
• 1:41
  and hostility, but with universal recognition of that brotherhood which is ours. Because
• 1:47
  we are all children of the same almighty Father, let us at least make
• 1:52
  the experiment. Let us free ourselves from complicity in these awful crimes. Let
• 1:57
  us set ourselves to try, each in our own small circle, to bring
• 2:02
  nearer that time of peace and love, which is the dream and the earnest
• 2:07
  desire of every true hearted and thinking man. At least, we ought surely
• 2:14
  to be willing to do a small thing as this to help the world onward
• 2:17
  towards that glorious future. We ought to make ourselves pure, our thoughts and
• 2:23
  our actions, as well as our food, so that by example as well
• 2:28
  as by precept, we may be doing all that in us lies to spread
• 2:32
  the gospel of love and of compassion, to put an end to the reign
• 2:37
  of brutality and terror, and to bring nearer the dawn of the great Kingdom
• 2:40
  of righteousness and love. When the will of our Father, shall be done
• 2:46
  upon earth as it is in heaven. End of Section fourteen
