ca ton for selfish advancement and per
sonal achievement and power. but in
education for heart-service among our
fellow-nen. 1t is such a spirit of mn
tual helpfulness and service for others
that the world is crying for today, he
said. and pointedto the great war in
Europe as an example of what high

the progress of one nation independent
of the welfare of others has wrought.

open to women in recent years. i'm
pressing upon them that woman no

nectlon he made inferential refer
ence to woman suffrage by saying that
woman need not step out Of her own

est destiny. which lies in the making
OF good homes. He paid a high tribute
