Idealisn

We cannot get away from idealisln
any more than we can from charac-
ter, nor from an idealism based on
knowledge. The problem will be as
it always has been, one of making it
helpful and fruitful, and enlisting it in
the service of man. 1t cannot serve
man except through other men, and as
applied by them. The greatest ideal
ever revealed to the world was the
ideal of service. There could have
been none greater. Christian people
certainly will not deny this, for it is
one Of the basic truths Of their re.
ligion. Idealism, service and obedi-
ence, therefore, all go together, and
are all necessary elements of SYM
metrical character. They will not lose
their Importance or value. We cannot
think Of men living together in Il civil
ized society without them. For, lack
ing them, men would not be men, and
society would not be civllized.-Bos-

the performance Of the opera "La

appeal for emancipation, inflamed the
audience to such a degree that the peo-

as merely local riot until month
