earlier. This national duelling is just
as absurd as individual due1ling the
world over.
'sThese are the things for the society
to inculcate and spread all over the
world. Through the influence of the
United States more nations have ad-
vanced along these lines, and citizen
ship has been established in many
parts of Europe, and there are numbers
of thrones of Europe being threatened.

Chairman Lowrey next introduced
Rev. w. M. Kincaid who spoke on the
Ideal American. He said that in TAX
ing any man out of history like Wash
ington, the hero of Yorktown, who
stands as the incarnation of all that
is noble and great in history, the ideal
American was presented. A man can
not help be otherwise if he is true to
the principles upon which his govern
ment is founded His opinion was that
the ideal American represented all that
| is the embodiment of liberty to serve
God and his brother at his side. The
ideal American was not myth
Americanism was simply law with lid
erty and liberty @ith law.
Every nation has had it's great ma
tional ideal. The American ideal is
liberty to the individual man because
he is a man. There had been republic:
before the fall of Yorktown consum
mated the American republic, but the!
gave liberty only to the few and siaV
cry to the many.
; America took, liberty to her bosom
The nation felt that liberty was no
the gift of a sect, but that whether tn
State willed or not, whether the NAL
was of the highest or the lowest cas'
the fact that he was man was sum
cient to entitle him to the privilege
of liberty and the privileges of citizen
ship.
