tralization Of wealth to that of the
time Of Pericles, but said that where
las in the past social betterment was
the result Of a bloody revolution, in
the future it would come about BY the
silent revolution Of thought.
What and who are the agencies to
carry out these changes?" asked the
speaker. and In answer he said the
public schol system, the state institu-
tlons Of learning and the Oklahoma
college would do a large share Of the
work.
"Ths is an age where all learning,
az wisdom and all culture is in reach
of al people where the rich and poor,
male and female, have the same
chance said he, and women coming
into the life OF higher education will

that Intellectual development alone
could never carry out the program,
that the work Of the college must sup

ready doing, that freedom from sin

necessary and that the Gospel Of Love
must be spread, as It was the essen.

Of the new methods Of spreading the
truth, Of the religious social service

every class OF society With a plea
for the broader brotherhood Of man
and the fulfiIlment OF the verse. Truth

Walker appropriately concluded his
sermon.
