MARGT ÞARF AÐ
LAGAST
Hin mikla tóbaks brúkun, sem
nú ríkir í heiminum meðal yngri
kynslóða er eitt af þvá sem þarf
að íhuga og útrýma með krafti
kærleikans. Nú vita allir að of
mikil tóbaks brúkun skemmir
meltnigarfæri mannsins og lam-
ar hugsanakraftinn. — Jafnvel
læknarnir bera áhyggju út af
þessu og segjast vona að siðferð-
isþrek fólksins taki í sig nýjan
kjark og yfirvinni þennan falska
unað, því heilsufarið sé í hættu
nema þessari reykjarsvælu létti
af.
Nú er það á sjálfsvaldi hvers
manns að vakna og þekkja rétt
frá röngu og gera alt ssm í þeirra
valdi stendur til að vera sannir
menn og konur með hreinan lík-
ama og hreina sál, sem hafnar
þessum holdlegu girndum, svo
sem tóbaksbrúkun, ofdrykkju og
ofáti, afsegja að þjóna þessum
löstum lengur.
Alt er hægt að yfirbuga með
krafti kærlsikans, en fýlla hjart-
að með réttvísi, guðrækni, trú-
mensku bindindi. Þá mun líka
afleggjast ágirnd og stærilæti. —
Við þessa betran hugarfarsins
myndást svo hin nýja veröld sem
allir vonast eftir, þar sem friður
og bróðurelskan ræður. En með-
an ilt og gott er í hringiðu í
hjörtum manna getur engin
breyting orðið á ytra ástandi
mannlífsins. Allar þær hörm-
ungar og sár sem stríðið hsfir
valdið ætti að vera nóg til að
bræða harðlyndið og gráta með
grátendum og sýna þeim samúð
og meðlíðan, bindast kærleiks-
böndum við alla menn.
Mér kemur í hug vísa úr göml-
um rímum eftir Sigurð Breið-
íjörð. Vísan er þessi:
Harma klæðin höfuð byrgja,
heyrast kvæði sorgar þrenn.
Feður og mæður syni syrgja,
systur bræður, konur menn.
Já, mörg sonar lífæð hefir
®tt að slá og sorg móður hjart-
ns ólæknandi nema með líf-
eini trúarinnar, sem á er skrif-
5: “Sonur þinn lifir.” Þessa
issu von gefur drottinn þeim
;m syrgja.
Samt höfum við sem þjóð lifað
friði og nægtum, þar sem aðrar
jóðir hafa verið dændar eignum
g mannréttindum ofan á mann-
illið. Þörfin fyrir hjálp er mik-
. Tökum nú peningana sem
tenn brúka fyrir hinn áður
efnda óþarfa sem skemmir
lannlífið og þessum miljónum
æri svo dreift yfir heiminn til
5 seðja og klæða nakin og
ungruð börn í hinum sundur-
ettu löndum, og fyrir skýli
anda gama'lmennum, vonlaus-
m af hallæri og kvölum hörm-
nganna. Þetta mundi breiða
íargfalda blessun yfir þjóðina,
5 elska þannig náungann eins
g sjálfa oss.
Sumum finst að þessi styrjald-
r veröld vera svo langt í burtu,
n hugsum oss nú um, gætum
ið fengið af okkur að lifa í óhófi
g svalli ef við vissum af næsta
ágranna okkar hungruðum og
lsþurfandi. Það er óhugsandi
ð við gerðum það. 1 hjarta
rannvinarins, en* allir næstu
ágrannar, eins þeir sem búa á
jærstu ströndum heimsins. Því
er þjóðinni að gera sjálfsaf-
eitun sína hinn kristilega mann-
ærleika, sem fer að dæmi hins
riskunsama samaríta, sem tek-
r að sér sárum slegin ókendan
lann sem ræningjar’höfðu skað-
ð. Tekur hann á heimkynni,
ræðir sár hans og borgar kostn-
ðinn.
Hin nýja og betri veröld kem-
;r ekki af sjálfu sér heldur fyrir
►etran þjóðanna. Nýja vaknnig
rá draumi heimslegra listinga
nn í friðarheim vakandi sam-
’izku, sem er guðs rödd í mann-
num.
