Race Suicide Touched On.
"The most ominous sign is the
diminution in the birth rate, and the
rate of natural increase, now, to a
larger or lesser degree. shared by
most of the civilized nations Of CEN

There is much that should give us
concern for the future. But there is
much also which should give us hope.
A nation that seemingly dies may
be born again: and even though in the
physical sense 1t die utterly, it may
yet hand down a history of heroic
achievement, and for all time to come
may profoundly influence the nations
that arise in it's place by the impress
of what it has done. Best of all it is to
do our part well, and at the same time
to see our blood live young and vital

task as we lay it down; for so shall
our seed inherit the earth.
Many Terrible Problems.
Every modern, civilized nation mas

within its own borders, problems that
arise not merely from juxtaposition of
poverty and riches, but especially from
the self-consciousness of both poverty
and riches. Each nation must deal
with these matters IN it's own fashion,
and yet the spirit in which the prob
lem is approached must ever be funda-
mentally the same. 1t must be a spirit
of broad humanity; of brotherly kind
ness; of acceptance Of responsibility,
one for each and each for all; and at
the same time a spirit as remote as
the poles from every form of weakness
and sentimentality.
