The Age We Live in,

factor IN the affairs OF mankind.
or course we do not mean that any
one believes that the race can be made
over again and constituted with al en-
tireiy new nature but the fact which
most deeply impresaes itself upon he stu
lent OF human affairs today is that there
seems 20 be quite a unanimous belief that
some sort Of modus vivendl Is capable ~
being attained whereby We shall all,
while retaining i'm our makeup tho Old
traits with which man Was endowed when
sentient life first made its appearance on
this planet, agree nevertheless 90 subor-

aud self-seeking propensities VIII no
doubt remain. but we shall all be SO i'm
menseiy impressed with the theory Of the
whole race working In the most delicat tely
adjusted and harmonious rela ations 20 the
achievement Of great ends looking 10 the
greatest good to the greatest number that
IL will be the easiest task In the world
for us TO put a auietus on these propen-
stiles every time they show any signs of
asserting themselves.
In short. the world In rapidly progress
ing. or thinks IL is. toward an orderly
systematic life" This notion governs or
al least is supposed 10 govern. our activi-
ties in every department OF human exist
ence. The larker life is now the thing
by which We all swear and I'm which ev-
cry one Of us would willingly have his in
dividuality swallowed up. Such Is life and
