task to rid consciousness Of the false

War is strife between different
mental concepts of which the physi-

Democracy and Astseracy.
Christianity rightly understood is
the touch stone of democracy. for
without Christianity-the science of
true law and true Ioving-democracy
is but sounding brass and tinkIinR
cymbal. From the truth about equity,

Christ Jesus democrscy-standip for
