awaits Lets Not Kill Progress By Harvey Hope of success seems to be essentia to vigorous effort Many martyrs have died for what to us may look like hope less causes but It be dou bted whether those causes ever looked hopeless to the men who died for them The typical atti tude of the martyr was exem plified in the remark Lati mer Be of good cheer Master Ridley we shall this day light a candle which by Gods Grace will never be put out For some three centuries now mankind has cherished the hope of progress Belief in progress the idea that man can im prove his lot achieve a better life create a nobler world has become a sustaining faith for uncounted crusaders for all kinds of good causes most of the nonChristian reformers the hope of progress has been their only faith Nonreligious workers or at least people who have no firm belief in a future Incentive for service if they lost life would lose practically ail their faith in the possibility of progress That is to say worthy causes would lose the support of perhaps a majority of the writers thinkers and scient ists as Professor Lower says the very people upon whom the defense of liberal values naturally rests quite certainly in every gener ation The hope of progress to stilt with us there is no reason why it should not be One would think it should be one of the safest faiths in the world be cause it has been confirmed by And yet it is not safe Progress is slow hence it is always easy to make out that it has stopped Progress is not we may make progress Since the idea of progress came to life in the Western World we have made progress not noticeable perhaps in every decade but in our fight against is while some other Illness is on the increase we may wipe out illiteracy while the quality of what is read is falling By pointing out the weak spots and failures it is possible to contend that wc are making no pro gress Pointing out shortcomings in order to have them remedied is commendable Pointing out shortcomings in order to argue that progress is impossible is reprehensible It is a fault of which too many of our good people are guilty The fault is compounded when it is assumed as for instance by J Richard Weaver that they have proven their case jiaiiy they introduce an illegitimate adjective into the discussion in order to im prove their case This illegiti mate adjective is inevitable They say that early democrats believed in inevitable progress They then point out that it is now clear that progress is not inevitable that rapid retro gression can take place as it or Mount Albert Church Frank Clark

conducting ALL A Merry Christmas did in Nazi Germany They then conclude that the idea of progress has been refuted by history Now the democratic faith do es not require the belief that progress is inevitable Indeed such a belief is dangerous in that a person who believes that progress is inevitable Is apt to fall into a comfortable com placency a feeling that he need do nothing to help improve matters What the democratic faith do cs require is a belief in the possibility of progress It will be a more effective faith if it expressly states that there will be progress if enough of us work for it and not otherwise As Burke said All thai is nec essary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing Now that is precisely the pos ition that the ablest defenders of democracy have consistently taken J Mill is recognized as one of the most optimistic of nineteenth century democrats but it was Mill who said Wc ought not to forget that there is an incessant and ever- flowing current of human af fairs towards the worse con sisting of all follies all the vic es all the negligences indolen ces and of mankind which is only controlled and kept from sweeping alt before it by the exertions which some persons put forth in the direct ion of good and worthy ob jects Obviously there is no way in which that statement can be twisted to make it into a belief in the inevitability of progress And if any man has a right to be quoted as an authority in a faith that rejects authority that man is J Mill LEGION DRAW The prize winners in the Leg ion draw were as follows first Mrs K
