a rule, when in doubt, vote NO. '"
And he always considered this rule
applicable TO the matter of tampering
with the constitution.

and opinions are extremely quiXotic,
when he would hold to strict account
ability every man whose acts are not
in accord with the decalogue and
when he takes little account of he
redity and environment as compell-
ing influences; when he would do
battle with the man and not with
the system.
With years and experience the
viewpoint broadens and both mind
and heart become more generous It
is at this stage of life that the divine
principle of harmony is appreciated;
when we recognize vice as an impell-
ing influence and the man as its hap
less victim.
Too often, however, the philosophy
of ones latter years forms in the alb
strict, is non-militant and therefore
lost to the world. Perhaps this is
why human progress toward possible
perfection has been so greatly retard-
ed in the past When all men act
from a desire to effect the universal
brotherhood and treason together"
then will we be making some head
way along lines that will harmonize
families, communities and nations.
1t is when men give expression in
public, as you have done, to right
thinking that the great social and eco
nomical reforms. which to our mind
the majority of the human family
sincerely desires, will be possible of
accomplishment. incidentally, in this
connection, it is my theory that re-
forms must begin at the bottom and
not at the top; that only real ad-
yancement is obtained by improve
ment and betterment Of the indiyid-
ual rather than attempting at one fell
swoop to reform the mass. Expressed
in other language, the real better
ment Of humanity in general, and
the abolition of wars. will come when
each individual unit of humanity has
a true comprehension Of the life
work of the humble "Nazarene Car
penter."

ject to handle in brief, and already
