What Is Brotherhood?
By Lee H. Bristol
Chairman of the Board,
Bristol-Myers Co.
The week of February 19th to 26th has been set aside as Brotherhood Week.
In our U.S. democracy where every one of us enjoys so many freedoms that are denied to so many people throughout the world, it should not be necessary to make any special plea for Brotherhood. Yet it's important that we should keep reminding ourselves not only of the great freedoms we enjoy, but of our need to share the Brotherhood, man-to-man, that these freedoms permit.
Just what is Brotherhood? It's something we hear from pulpits throughout the country; we're exhorted to practice it. But do we? Frankly, I think we have a long way to go before it is so ingrained in us, so inculcated in us that it becomes an outstanding national characteristic of the United States.
Christians and Jews continues to assert its great leadership throughout this country with the spotlight on a special week dedication to Brotherhood. Everywhere you will be increasingly aware of this national dedication to Brotherhood-the very keystone of real democracy.
And Brotherhood should know no international borders either. It must become world-wide. Despotisms and tyrannies will disappear and national group broadly accepts and practices it.
To those of us identified with business and industry, let us discover how in practice, the ideal of Brotherhood not only builds efficiency but even more, adds a joyous dimension to our daily lives. The regard for the other fellow-his welfare--induces an inner glow of deep happiness and satisfaction that is the priceless ingredient in any design for living. Brotherhood: Say "yes" and practice it. The Golden Rule is so simple, so sound so worthwhile!
