We hear much in these times, and in this Republic, of the failures of Democracy. In fact, there are some manifestations here of a reaction against Democracy. Many of our people have lost faith in the aspirations and ideals cherished universally in the youth of the Republic; a very large number look upon universal suffrage as a failure; and even those most passionately devoted to the principles of Democracy are greatly dissatisfied with the condition and results of popular government in these later days. <strong>...</strong></p>Smith Orlando Jay - The agreement between science and religionurn:md5:89a0a6f75de1892cddfba7da0262147f2013-08-29T12:16:00+01:002013-08-29T11:17:24+01:00balderSmith Orlando JayReligionScience <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Smith_Orlando_Jay_-_The_agreement_between_science_and_religion_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

We are deeply interested in the governments, local, state and national, under which we live, in their laws and regulations, in the protection and other advantages which they give to us, and in the duties which they exact from us. To a larger degree we are interested in the sovernment of the universe to which we are subject without conscious choice of our own. If we do not like the community in which we. live, we may remove to another, and we may get definite information concerning that other before making the removal. We may go east, west, north or south; to Canada, to Europe or to the antipodes. But the government of the universe does not grant to us the privilege of removal or expatriation, for there is no other universe to go to. Even if we suffer annihilation in death, we go nowhere, nol elsewhere. Our fathers, as far back as history or fancy can carry us, were subjects of this universe, and governed by precisely the same natural laws that govern us, as our descendants'will be, and as the life in the remotest planets must be, forever. We may alter or improve our man-made laws and systems of government. We may exercise the npt of protest or of revolution. <strong>...</strong></p>Smith Orlando Jay - Eternalism A theory of infinite justiceurn:md5:8b02240ea4ffb7309068f129198381e42013-08-29T12:14:00+01:002013-08-29T12:14:00+01:00balderSmith Orlando JayReligionUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Smith_Orlando_Jay_-_Eternalism_A_theory_of_infinite_justice_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

It is usually assumed that the individual is created at his birth by a Divine Power, or by the processes of Nature. And we cannot deny that some individuals are born good and others bad, and it seems to be impossible to reconcile with Infinite Justice the theory that one individual is created - " compelled to be " - with a noble character, and another individual with a vicious character. Other questions must be answered. If God or Nature has created a criminal, can we acquit the Creator of all accountability for the criminal? Has not the soul which is created vicious been deeply wronged ? How can men be held to equal moral accountability if they have not been endowed in the beginning with equal goodness, equal strength, equal intelligence ? Are those who are born vicious really the victims of the malice of Nature or of the wrath of God ? <strong>...</strong></p>Smith Orlando Jay - Balance The fundamental verityurn:md5:0b2a07b2a46d600f91bd8b066ad0b2ee2013-08-29T12:10:00+01:002013-08-29T11:11:14+01:00balderSmith Orlando JayUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Smith_Orlando_Jay_-_Balance_The_fundamental_verity_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

In these times a number of the great minds in the world of science and philosophy have lent their approval to the theory that the study of what may be called the Eternal Problems is profitless, being only an exploration into the land of the Unknowable. The position I do not know is a very modest one. Every man must take it in relation to many things, for " our knowledge is as the rivulet, our ignorance as the sea." But the extension of the formula " I do not know " to " I cannot know; no one knows ; no one can know," does not bear the tone of humility or of open-mindedness. It has the sound rather of a last word to which there can be no answer, a subtle form of denial which should end discussion. <strong>...</strong></p>
