The message Of the Archbishop 10
America was. briefly stated, this, that
the knowledge We IN common with all
Englsh-speaklns folks, have Of true
liberty Is more than a heritage II is a
sacred trust, that must be used for the
benefit Of man. For that reason he
said. Ngc want hero, whore the heart
Of your great nation throbs and sends
It's pulses through the whole, to keep
raised overhead the banner Of Him who
has taught MS these things. our Master.
Jesus chris"
He further explained that our aim
should be the lettering Of peoples
lives. to make men purcr and manlieri
TO upllft the weak and Maynard, and
to tramplc under foot what Is selfish
and impure, to make certain that every
one Of Chrlsts children shall learn TO
know the greatness Of his heritage, and
shall have an ideal before him, an en-
nobllng ideal Of worship and OF work
christ he continued, Charges us
with that: we are trusted to work for
Him among those Tor whom He died
No other period Of Chrstendom can be
compared with ours in the possibilities
which are set within our reach"
This is true, The ideal get before us
by the Redeemer Is one OF unseltlsh
labor for the betttrment Of all mankind
But unfortunately the distinguished
prelate did not tell the American people
how this ideal is to be realized, car
Il be reached. wc may ask without
complete overthrow Of many now eX'
is,lng institutions? THAT is the mos
important question. The world Is con
scious Of its ailments and defects II
has some idea ot higher Ideals Blu
how arc these to be- attained? WhaI
Is the remedy against the sickness anC
how Is tho medicine to be procured
What the patient Is concerned about Is

The VISIT q tho Archbishop to this
country is an exceptional event and Y
ia very much appreciated, A. an expires

But Il seems TO us that his message e
the Americans emphasizes the need o
an Elijah. or a John the Baptist wh'
Is not afraid Of laying tho AK to h
very root OF tho many evils that threat

ness, and everyday life. A prophet Il

down their lives for their testimony
as did the Prophet Joseph, but thei
labor Is not IN vain. It viii bear abun
