entitled The Ideal in federation" He
brought out the fact that There Is no
word in our languages that expresses alb
solate respect forevery honest opinion. All
the much-vaunted advance out OF mar
row past into breadth of vision has
brought us TO an age that can produce
only the word 'toleration.'"
In fact. Mr.. Barbour stated that toiera- :
uon. mere liberation. is all that the great
part OF humanity can boast of at the
opening or the twentieth century. He
went on TO say that though we have NOT
get rcdcned our goal, we are well on the
soaa toward just consideration for op-
posing opinion.
He traced the idea OF federation from
the days when man was the property of
some iord, 10 the time when the author
sty or the church at Rome reached into
every nook and corner OF Europe's con-
science, and so on until the present cen
tury. He mentioned the fact that in
Roger Williams Rhode Island could boast
., c,o,.., founder who could put into the word
toieration'' breadth OF sympathy which
We today have not compassed
Mr. barbour emphasized the fact that
our Idea OF tolerance will remain limited
plete human equality" He spoke OF op-
preston IN general as opposed to tolera-
pon. and brought up the conditions in
Russia and the antagonism of capital
and labor in this country as examples
In closing. the speaker said that ''our
international life OF today must undergo
many changes before Il can attain TO this
ideal In liberation for progress demands

OF Greek spirit" He showed how this
aesthetic ideal was noticeable in tho
Greek poetry and sculptors and even In
politics. philosophy and oratory
he told how most of what we prize to-
day may be traced either TO our Anglo
