FINAL CHAPTER 261 



ever demonstrates that peace only exists in nature, when con- 

 trolled by infinite wisdom, which mankind will never possess, 

 or when the tumultuous forces of destruction are kept in 

 check and controlled by forces of natural in place of super- 

 natural, or human in place of superhuman forces greater 

 than themselves. Hence if we would be Christian in deed 

 not words, we must aim at first wisely controlling the foolish, 

 justly dominating over the unjust with care and providence if 

 it is our duty to rule others, and we must make it the rule 

 of our lives to obey readily and labour willingly, if it is our 

 duty to labour for the support and maintenance of each other, 

 whether we be the parent supporting the child, the thrifty 

 capitalist maintaining, feeding and supporting the masses of 

 the .people who make up the working bees of the human hive 

 and do the less skilled and less important work of collecting 

 by production the human honey. But if there were no drones 

 there would be no comb or wax in the bee-hive in which to 

 store the honey, and a single season could see the hive extinct 

 and the lava unhatched. So in a like manner in the human 

 hive we must have drones, who can save the honey of capital, 

 instead of consuming it on the spot or at the flower where it is 

 gathered by the labourer ; and we must have an organised 

 system as perfect as that of the bee if we would enjoy the 

 sweets of life in peace and harmony. 



You must have power to control folly and its snarling 

 children, Anarchy, Socialism and Syndicalism,, the three 

 bastard offspring of folly, waste and indolence, for it is the 

 poor, not the rich, who are most inclined to shirk the duties 

 of their state of life, for the wisdom of man, like the wisdom 

 of God, ever demands and proclaims that love and action are 

 the two causes that demanded and made creation possible. 

 Hence, if we are to live in love, peace and wisdom, we must 

 have a military power sufficient to maintain the decrees of the 

 few men whom success proves to be wise and God or nature 

 permits to be rich as a reward for wisdom learnt and weakness 

 overcome, which constitutes virtue, just as folly and failure and 

 want of energy are the three qualities that produce all forms 

 of vice. Therefore if we are to be able to maintain or enforce 

 the decrees of a council of nations, it will be necessary to copy 

 the Roman system of a cosmopolitan army, to be organised by 

 transferring the armies of one nation amongst other nations,
