Item description from seller

Please note: this address is *not* reprinted in the Rev. Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity." Offered is the text of a talk entitled "If the Bough Be Rotten: Armistice Talk Before a Dinner of the National Lawyers' Guild of Los Angeles, Held in Beverly Hills, California" given on November 10, 1951 by the Rev. Stephen H. Fritchman and published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing four-and-one-half pages of text. A few excerpts from his address: "The great necessity of this generation of world peoples is that they refuse every inducement, every betrayal, every siren song, to walk into the atomic Armageddon of World War III" - "I just spoke of the new Alice in Wonderland World, with its Mad Hatters and White Rabbits and Dormice and Red Queens, and I meant just that. Look at our behavior as a people. We use more wood pulp and printer's ink six times over than any other nation on earth, to give [Westbrook] Pegler a chance to rant against what he calls 'that snarling thing democracy,' to print millions of comics and gaudy sex-drenched magazines that would lead a visitor from Jupiter to think that assault, battery and rape were the chief compelling hungers of every American male" - "Look at our theatre. Our finest ballet finds its highest narrative inspiration in Fall River, Massachusetts, and records with superb choreography the bloodthirsty activities of a suppressed hatchet-wielding girl named Lizzie Borden" - "And the law has entered into this strange Wonderland also. Our jurists demand the arrest and trial of the Dean of American letters, that incomparable scholar, W.E.B. DuBois, for what they consider the most ghastly of crimes against humanity - the promulgation of a petition for world peace." Folded once, as issued. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.
