one: That religious education with all
it implies, faith in God, discipline and
obedience, is among the things that
are necessary to make this democracy
of ours safe. So that. paralleling the
exploiting of our rights, there may also
be a full measure the acknowlede-
ment of our duties; that faith and
trust in God is necessary; otherwise
we will have a democracy without a
soul, and without a sanction. For,
after all. the rights of man and what
ever equality he has, can be predicated
only upon the fatherhood of God above,
and His equally paternal interest in
His children below.
A democracy, again, demands for it's
sustenance a people trained in it's
terms, educated in their rights, and
equally prepared to perform their du-
ties. Consequently obedience comes,
and discipline and service are Just as
necessary to sustain democracy as the
constant exploiting of rights and glori-
fication of the system. Indeed, it is

while the symbol is true and the cause
is sacred, yet the preparation is slow
and defense is weak; and this is be,
cause I'VE have thought only of the
rights that democracy gives, and not
its duties, because we have treated it
as guest and never as a master, be.
cause we have thought 1t could not
have enemies. If we seek to make de.
mocracy safe, we must introduce into
our national life the spirit of sacrifice
and obedience, and the willingness to
serve, and bow to others direction,
and to learn discipline, and to give up
rights and emoluments and privileges.

of ours safe, there are many, many
things necessary, and among the
things is the discontinuance of reck-

Willingness to help or to organize, or

Democracy is serious thing. It ia
