One of these refugees, Hans Deutsch, a painter from Paris, was asked to design an emblem for the service committee. That was the original flaming chalice which became the official seal of the Unitarian Service Committee on April 1, l941. It was later adopted by the Unitarian Universalist Association which modified the design to include two non-concentric circles symbolizing the union of two denominations. On this Sunday morning we join Unitarian Universalist congregations across the continent in lighting a chalice to remind us of our dedication to the cause of religious freedom.
Individual dullness is a relative matter.
The ordinary man lives up to about one onethousandth of his capabilities, and it follows that the improvement of an ordinary mind soon excels the neglect of a better mind. Nobody knows, besides, the best type of mind to possess. Slow minds are for many purposes better than quick minds. Native gifts neglected are always beaten by industry and perseverance. The world needs caution and care as well as enterprise and action.
