deserves to be credited with some
sense She hopes for impossible things,
to be sure, but not until other irnpossi-

There have been dreamers before her
who have believed that legal restraints
imposed upon human nature by civili
cation were barbarous; that all that
was necessary to bring about the mil
lennium was to proclaim the law of
universal love. Once all barriers were
RACED, men would love each other,
those dreamers have reasoned, and do
everything in their power to promote
each others welfare. But in Mrs. Had
dan the world has a priestess who
dreams this dream but yet has the
good sense to admit that it cannot be
realized until the world is entirely
changed. The public should treat the
new priestess with respect. The long

represented other cults might with
credit to themselves embrace this new
one.
