Daniels—In the Lion’s Den
From the evil that blackens the date of Dec. 7, 1941, there is
springing a surcease of hate on Dec. 7, 1947. That date, Pearl
Harbor Day, has been chosen by the American Legion as Good
Neighbor Day.
May it be all of that and much more for Americans every
where. May the Legion creed of ‘ no distinction of color, race,
birth, class, creed or policital belief,” become the watchword
for America and for the world in the future ahead of us.
May the bitter hate, fanned in the name of patriotism during
the war years, burn down and die in us. Hate is a parasite that
destroys its host. There is no place for it in the American way
of living.
As hate dies, may there grow in its place a feeling of neighbor
liness and comradeship toward our fellow men that will grow be
yond our neighbors here and reach out toward all men every
where. May we learn respect and tolerance for the beliefs of our
neighbor Russians, Jews, Japanese, Germans and British alike.
We are at peace now, but surely it is a troubled peace. Is not
the real source of that restless peace the remnants of our war
born hate and distrust of other men—our neighbors across the
sea?
We have no enemies now. We need have none in the months
and years before us, if we truly are Good Neighbors.
Remember, neighbors are the folks who live beside you.
They’re not people you have chosen to be there because they
agree with you. They just happen to live next-door. They’re prob
ably quite different than you are in their beliefs, their politics
and even in their way of living.
But they’re your neighbors just the same—they’re your neigh
bors whether they’re the farmer who plows the field next to yours,
or the little brown people who live on the continent just beyond.
You’re not asked to agree with everything they do and say. You’re
just asked to try to understand and be tolerant of those acts and
thoughts. That’s all good neighbors have to do.
Yet good neighbors are much more than the folks who give
you something when you need it. A recent story I read said Ameri
cans are apt to give a hasty gift in order to hush the cries of suf
ferers, since those cries make unpleasant listening.
A good neighbor does much more than toss a gift to the poor.
A good neighbor stops by with a word of encouragement and com
mendation, in good times and bad. A good neighbor won’t condemn
you unheard, when you differ in your policies. And a good neigh
bor, even when he cannot find you right, won’t hate you for your
stand. There’s no room for hate in the heart of a good neighbor.
