Without doubt we are done with
the idea of imperialism. We shall

/ There are o. course other kinds OF
Imperialism. The AngloSaxon I'M

! ialism that has extended our sway
over the West and to the Philip
pines are not without flaws and
stains. Yet few Englishmen and
few Americans have lain down the
thesis that their country is set
out sword in hand to conquer the
world. The difference is that be
tween an ambitious man bent on OBJ
tanning his ends at all costs, and the
strong man going about his business
who finds himself from day TO day

There is abundance Of promise in

idea is gaining ground. slowly to be
sure, and at great cost, but lneVlta-

not rule over them.
We are learning in this war how

Will indeed be surprising il in the
future loyalty to the larger group
does not replace devotion to the
smaller. College men in particular
trained to see the other fellow )
point OF view, should contribute
much to the settlement of interna-
tional problems. realizing that real
democracy is not bound by race of
country.
Even among we'll informed per-
sons the principles now at stake
in the civilized world are often mis-
understood. Autocracy is the impo-
sition upon a passive people OF the
will of small group or class. De-
mocracy is the expression OF the
peoples will working actively. There
must be leaders in either case; and
the leaders OF a democracy are more
powerful than absolute rulers.
The college bred man who ne
elects his civic duties is as much a
renegade as the Stacker who tries to
dodge military service.
In the complex modern world the
proper Interpretation OF the Golden
Rule calls not only for kind heart
but for a sound mind, consideration
for others. whether individuals, clas-
SEES or nations we must exercise. else
Christian civilization will surely
fail. And such considerations ex-
pressing itself in the thought that
we must work with others. not rule
over them. is clearly akin to the
Charity which Christ and his Apos-
ties taught.

DR.. Sills spl.e in part as fol-
lows:
The world is being continually re-
made. Now and then amid the ever
seethine tides OF men and affairs oc-
cur cataclysms that do in reality
shake the foundation OF society.
Unquestonably we are living IN such
an age today. People sometimes
speak longingly of return to nor
NAL times and wonder what life VIII
be like when we are again on the old
footing. But we shall not go back.
The old days, whether happy = I'M
happy. whether hampering or lnsplr-
ing, are gone. irrevocablv. We are
pres sing forward hurredly, confus-
eddy, somewhat darkly into a new
lie.
One wonders sometimes if there
IS any use in looking forward. when
all we have and all we are depend
absolutely on the issue OF the war.
Yet We should be cowardly indeed,
did we not plan and strive for bet
ter world. and blind, did we not
profit by the lessons we are now so
stcrnly learning.
One OF these lessons and perhaps
the most far reaching is this-that
il Christian civilization and Christ
ian democracy are to survive there
must be in every social activity OF
lie far more cooperation than ever
before.
In the stirring days in which we
live we have all seen town after
town through Red Cross labors and
Liberty Loan campaigns and all the
other activities connected with the
war give splendid examples OF cor
porate action. We have seen more
than that. We have seen this
mighty nation from Atlantic to Pa
cihc, composed of citizens OF all
races and languages. fused by the
fiery trial OF war into one great com
munity. With our own eyes We
have witnessed America flashing into
a united and unified country with
one soul.
