Treasons For My Faith
AN ADVANCE WORD TO THE CRITIC
REASONS FOR MY FAITH
— is a study in objectives and motives.
— Objectives and motives shade and color what every man thinks, says
or does.
IF men have the same objectives and motives, in common, they are inunity.
IF men have differing objectives and motives, they will be in conflict.
To be in unity is to understand each the other.
To be in conflict, is not to understand each the other.
THIS OUTLINE
is an analysis of and study of the objectives and motives of the human
beings of our profession.
IF the objective be to develop self
—the motive is to develop Chiropractic from within without
— the objective is to improve a greater efficiency in health service to
those who are sick
— the motive be to be true to the truth in fact
THEN, this analysis and study is worthy of sincere interpretation.
IF the objective is to develop greed
— the motive is to play up to the pride of personal opinions ofone’s self
— the objective is to enlarge on the ego of one’s egotismfromwithout
within
— the motive is to use the sick as playthings to prey upon
— the objective is to be a good fellow with good fellows
THEN, this analysis and study is wasted effort to even read.
CAN objectives change?
WILL motives reverse?
SHOULD objectives become reconstructed?
What forms or changes objectives or motives?
— is it reason?
— is it environment, prejudice, passion, emotion?
OR, is there a “ that something” that comes as a wee sma’ voice, from in
behind, that is awakened?
CHAPTER I
In the spring of 1863, Abraham Lincoln had established Gen. Geo. B.
McClelland in charge of the Army of the Potomac.
The duties of the Army of the Potomac were:
To protect Washington;
To move on to Richmond and attack Lee.
As Commander-in-Chief of the Armies of the North, Lincoln instructed
McClelland “ to move on to Richmond and attack Lee.”
McClelland remained quiet.
Lincoln then wrote McClelland “ to move on to Richmond and attack Lee.”
McClelland again remained quiet.
Lincoln demanded an answer.
McClelland answered, saying, “ I do not have enough men.”
Lincoln: “ How many more men do you n eed ?”
McClelland: “ Another one hundred thousand men.”
Lincoln: “ MY GOD! WHERE CAN I GET ANOTHER ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND M EN?”
To understand what Lincoln meant, let us review the situation:
The North and South had been atcivil war forthree years.
The South had won many battles.
The North had lost many battles. ^
The Northhad lost many hundreds ofthousands o f men.n 1)
