NEW JERUSALEM
IT’S FOUNDATIONS. “The foundations of our New Jerusalem depend not upon material programmes, but upon the acceptance of the ideal of love as the guiding principle of personal and national life. That the change can be accomplished if we really desire it, and that the initiative can come from our own sorrowful but undaunted country I have never doubted, even in its darkest hours of complacency and selfseeking. To-day, after witnessing London’s endurance of its crucifixion without panic or vindictiveness, I am more than ever confident that the British people provided that their innate decency is neither destroyed by the propaganda of hatred nor warped by excess of avoidable suffering, are as capable as any people in the word of accepting a way of life determined by love, rather than by power.”—From “England’s Hour,” by Vera Brittain.
