Does the busy farmer who WorKs from morning until night for his livll- hood and who is making such sacri- fees that the great world war for FREEDOM may be won, ever stop to think that FREEDOM is something vitallv ALIVE? Does he know that freedom GROWS just as surely as his corn grows in his fields and according to laws which operate as surely?
 The mystery of LIFE is in the seed. Under favorable conditions this LIFE bursts it's bounds in the seed, pushes I'D higher toward new world and multiplies itself hundredfold. 50 the passionate longing for freedom finds it's place in the human heart and BURSTING it's bounds it STRUG- GTJLES up and up toward new world of sunshine which we call Democracy.
 There was a time when the germ of FREEDOM was almost too deeply hidden to give hope of life and fruit age. The first dream of freedom was the hope of freedom for the body for at one time slavery was universal, The strong went out with clubs, can tured the weak and unfortunate, and owned them, soul and body. It was a conflict of many ages that finally gave mankind the possession of his body.
 Then came another kind of slavery
 -such slavery as is described in his tory as feudalism. At this time the strong kept the land. The weak and inefficient might live on a little piece of it, but most of what they made be- longed to the lord of the castle while the farmer lived in hut and fed his children husks.
 During these long ages the germ of freedom was struggling forward and
