Question And Answer.

Not long ago, the body Of a young
girl was washed ashore near Kronstadt
in Russia. In her pocketbook was a
carefully folded note-her message tC
the world.
eve people Of the twentieth century
are without faith, without hope, with
out the desire to live. No Christ, no
socialism, no humanity nothing exists
for us save thought, and thoughts lead
to suicide"
At about the same time, young wO-
man in Japan was writing to the min
lister Of education; in her questions
rings the same note Of despair.
l "What is the aim Of life?
2 IF life has no definite aim, cOnse :
Quently, there can be no standard or
rule of life, why fetter men and women
with the bonds Of law and religion
Why not let them commit crime and re-
bel at pleasure?'
From every corner Of the world the
same bitter questions come. Never be-
fore have so many young people asked
them. Never. perhaps, has there been
so much conscious suffering in the world.
And the answer? While the young
Russian girl was going her sad way
through the darkness, a group of her
fellow countrymen were patiently Strug

from the gO,pels, his pupils following

verses over and over with clear emphasis
until they grasDed not only sounds but
meaning. Into the intent faces of his
pupils came deepening surprise. until
finally one OF them exclaimed:

900 employees Of the systems interested
and for the families and dependent Of
such employees.
The fund will be made good from year
to year by annual appropriations from
