/. r. Palemon Jenkins THE Two
Institutions of History" Every man
is by nature social and a religious
animal. The one principle has its
expression in the church, while the
State is the embodiment of the social
nature. A misconception as to the true
relation between these two principles
means calamity, exhibited In France
by the French revolution. The two
are separate, each has its place; neither
is supreme. The proper relation has
been a gradual growth America is
working out this relation. The result
will be an epoch in the advance of
civilization.
?. William T woody, Jr, THE Aneri-
can Judicial SYSTEM Wlsat is the
foundation of judicial system? 1t
is founded on an idea or group of ideas.
Justice is the backbone of the system
and its expression is law. This idea
of justice has its basis in mans divine
nature. The American judicial sys-
tenn is a product of the civil law of
Rome, and the common law of England,
including the Magma Charta. 1t is the
organ of the American Constitution.
The Constitution is product of Amer
jean lie. hence its work is advancing
and purifying the American people.
8. John ". Canada, ''The Aesthetic
in Life" The aesthetic is one of the
three realities, truth goodness and
beauty. 1t Is rooted in mans nature.
Orr natures should be developed, hence
a place for the development of the
aesthetic. The means for this develop
ment are adequate. The outside world
furnishes this means. 1t stands pc
fore the intellect as truth, before the
wise as law. and before the aesthetic
sense as beauty. Through this sense
we reach the outside world, and by 1T
the world of objects gain a place in
our individuality.
4. Richard G. Allsbrook, THE Chris
tan State" Out of peoples life
must come the tone of conception of
all institutions of whatever kind. The
State is an organism; it is an organic
unity. The Christian state demands:
First. a recognition of its sovereignty
and due regard for its authority by
every free born citizen; second, the
righteous rule of Democracy, pure and
undefiled, which means equal priyi-
leges and like opportunities for all;
third, the triumph of the Christian
patriot and statesman, whose highest
aim shall not be passion for self, but
translation into life and law this Chris
tan tendency of the brotherhood of
man and the fatherhood of God. Such
shall be the Christian state of the
twentieth century.
8 5. John C. Eller, MANS Inhumanity
ito Man" Mans inhumanity to man
has caused countless millions to
mourn. Mans humanity to man shall
cause countless millions to be glad.
The tragic tale of human history has
ever had for its leading thought the
relation of man to man. The supreme
question of the age is: Am / my
brothers keeper?" In mans nature
runs this dual nature--of right and
duty. The lack of true harmony be-
tween them is traced in mans inhu-
manity. The hope of the world is their
true mission in the dutiful brother
hood of man.
