Excerpt from Pilgrim Followers of the Gleam: A Short Study of Congregational Heroes Who Have Given Their Lives for the New Era of Brotherhood The Gleam Today millions of men and boys dare to follow the gleam. They are French and American, English and Canadian, Belgian and Italian boys, as well as boys from Armenia, India, China, Japan, and South Africa, all eager, all glad to follow it. In the Great War, just over, it led them to the battle-fields of France and of Flanders, of Italy and of Mesopotamia. It has led them as soldiers of the cross to China, to South Africa - everywhere. It has led them to cold, hunger, hardship, pain, even unto death. Yet on they follow, "to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." Why? They strive to overcome cruelty, greed, and selfishness, to destroy the belief that the will of a few men may be imposed upon all others in spite of their desire, and that a few may have prosperity and happiness while others pay the price. They are willing to dare because they hate these evils. They seek to establish justice, righteousness, and mercy, and to establish for all the world the principles that every man should have a voice in deciding matters which concern his welfare, that the stronger nations must not oppress the weak, and that men may not live only for themselves without regard for others.
