| There are few windows open to US
| today through which we may catch a
glimpse Of the life that is demanded
| of. us to be able to fulfill the needs Of
the world and help in it's problems.
! A few windows have been made for
men to look through and fit them
| selves.
The first is the window of the
crisis in civilization. We see men de
batting with each other, restlessness
and dissatisfaction mounting higher
and higher There seems to be q
struggle in the soul Of humanity and
perhaps the struggle is evil in its
import.
Elements that are disquieting ap-
pear and then the crisis comes when
the humanity is low. every branch
seething and heaving. Men acting
like fools and beiying their intelli-
gence at this hour. But not all men,
for there are many who are quietly.
purposefully working for the benefit
Of humanity at large to quell the
seetl7ing unrest and its evil influences.
This world is not to become the prey
/ eS.-anarchy. the prey of the wild
( prowler. and though there. be cor
ruptness in the heart of civilization it
shall-be leleaHsed. - =
+ The second window is called the
I; gift Of ! brotherhood" The war
,.showed that an organization of sac
rifice and love united for common
purpose for tile cause of humanity
could be made to s:and-a brother
hood. Witness the armies of the
allies all combined under the order
sf the French generaiissime, that
Eas.a ,,rotherheod. an orEanizatien in
WHICH men ~ere- combined an one.
Though men scannot meet without
lisaEreeing or using Obstructive
agents for their grievances redemp-
tive forces are working to unite them
under a common bond Of unselfish
brotherhood.
Not the brotherhood Of hypocricy nor
the Brotherhood Of anarchy nor it's as

selfish brotherhood where mans a

Let it not be just for orgafliza ton but

The third window is called 'the value

them from the downright. determined,
resolute Individual, and to save our
modern civilization was must have in
dividuality.
Nowadays we do not follow the call
ot every agitator, although some have
that traditional weakness Of the me-
de.vaI period. The men Of today are
capable of individual thought and ac-
tion. and the men who will safeguard
our nation will stand upon their own
int diligence.
Let there be something about us that
has strength and individuality, to build

our thinking govern our acts. BE

The next window-.'Thc hour, Of ma

a pride for his nation, to whatever land
he may belong. is not a man in the
age in which he lives. National pride,
national service, and. national sacrifice
have become the colossal spirit OF our
history. The hour has come for the

Comes the final window. "the age

not be without nationality and vice

nationality We can become a part of

Question Period
The following questions were asked
the speaker at the end of his address
What is the solution of the trouble
between labor and capital? The
speaker answered that compromise
on both sides should give the solution
together with the principle Of broth
erhood, intelligence Ind sacrifice.
What is the difference between the
internationalism of which you (the
speaker) speak and the International
ism of Lenine and Trotzky? DR.. Oh
sen answered that the former was
balanced intelligence and the latter
unbalanced intelligence.
In relation to your window on in
dividuality would you advise that my
children take up vocational training ::
The speaker answered that the in
dividual endowment of the chill
should be developed, also vocational
training. Develop individualism but
not faddism.
What is the cause Of the unrest
among the people and what is the
cure? The speaker answered that
the unrest was due to the awakening
of the intelligence. the power to COM
pare and to reflect. The cause brings
destruction and the cure construction.
The cause, roots in selfishness and
the cure is unselflshness.
