TOWN FACTIONS
Perhaps no other one factor
wields so great an influence in
retarding the growth and pros
perity of a town as factional
ism. It spreads itself as a pall
over the community life, and
under its malign influence all
progress wilts like a pear tree
under the blight. No amount of
energy and public spiritedness
is sufficient to survive its de
pressing effects.
Take the average town torn
by factionalism. A measure of
public improvement is propos
ed. It comes from one of the
two factions. It really has mer
it and would be beneficial to
the town. Does it meet with ap
proval? Yes—from that side of
the house. From the other side,
bitter opposition. Why? No
mortal man can tell, except
that it emanated from “the
other side.”
There you have the meat in
the cocanut. “The other side”
stands for everything that is
undesirable and vicious.
And it is a said commentary
on our boasted Christian civili
zation that this spirit of bitter
factionalism too frequentl>
originates where itshould never
be found—in the churches.
With them, all too frequently,
“our folks” does not mean, as
it should, all of God’s creatures
but is contracted to apply to
“our church,” be it Methodist,
Baptist, Presbyterian, Congre
gational. or what not.
But from whatever source,
the fact remains—and the fac
tionalism flourishes—a sad
commentary on the boasted
“progressiveness” of our coun
trymen.
And the pity of it is that it
is useless and fruitful of no
good results to either side.
United effort would invari
ably accomplish for both what
divided wrangling accomplish
es for neither.
There is a world of truth
in the old emblem of the bun
dle of sticks, bound together,
which no man could break, but
which taken separately, a child
could destroy.
No factional fight in a com
munity ever yet resulted in
complete victory for eitherside.
Many communities have had
the sagacity to recognize this
fact and, while there have al
ways been and will always be
differences, have had the good
sense to endeavor to harmonize
and work together for the com
mon interest.
When we see a community
torn by factions, we feel like
reminding it of the old fable of
the cats and the monkey—the
cats found the cheese, but the
monkey ate it.
