Sermon

FEBRUARY 01, 1958 by MALLORY CROSS JOHNSON

Mrs. Johnson and her husband, formerly of the Foundation staff, continue their study of freedom from Malaga, Spain.

 

What is war but death and taxes?

How will killing make men free?

Good will never come from evil;

As the seed, so grows the tree.

 

Taxes sap the life away from

Every source of future wealth,

Thrift and honesty discourage —

How can sickness bring us health?

 

Nor can bombing draw together

Men in friendship in the way

Voluntary operations

Draw men closer every day.

 

If you burn to fight for freedom

Know the source wherein it lies:

By respecting every person

Each will help the other rise.

CURRENT ISSUE

May 2013

From natural systems to human systems, we start to notice patterns in nature that are products of good flow. Adrian Bejan discusses this crucial insight--and how it makes freedom even more needful--in this month's interview. Zachary Caceres looks at what emergence can tell us about the universe, the market, the heart, and the sacred; Mike Reid recounts the tragedies produced when the State tries to impose its order on people who have already developed their own; Gary Galles channels Leonard Read: the State is a clenched fist, he says, so it cannot create; Brad Taylor says democracy might just be another imposed order in some situations; Karl Borden wonders whether an individual's right to be left alone can be part of the order of things; and much, much more.Download Free PDF
