FROM THE HEIGHTS OF ALTRyIsM.
God is endeavoring to evolve per-
feet human society each individual unit
of which will be continuously contented
and happy. We should recognize this
fact and never miss an opportunity to
be helpful. Every proposed social
change, every political issue should be
scanned from these heights before giving
them our support. When the evolu.
tionary forces will have completed their
work the different nations of the earth
will be united as One and one of the
chief factors in concentrating this
millennial unity will be Reciprocity
The different parts of this World Nation
will be woven together by vital threads
of Reciprocity. The greatest possible
degree of happiness cannot be attained
without it, Its universal application
will bring a prosperity and peace that
will permeate into the life of the most
humble citizen and impart the happiness
of the whole 1t was from these heights
that first saw the Reciprocity agree
ment between Canada and the United
States. Ii was from these heights that
looked upon 1t as universal benefit,
knowing well that its defects could be
subsequently corrected Ii was from
these heights that was forced to see
it set upon and mutilated by horde of
Infatuated voters whose better Judgment
had been bewildered by the brawling
of ambitious demagogues. But it is
not dead. 1t will recover. Education
and enlightenment of the masses will
! resuscitate it or initiate similar
move because it is one of the essential
elements of perfect society. In a
political campaign when duty calls us
to the voting booth we should endeavor
to determine which platform is most
conductive to the evolution of perfect
human society and vote accordingly.
