turning point in the worlds affairs-a
transition that will absolutely revolu-
tionize society society in the broad sense
and bring greater opportunity to all
peoples. no matter of what race, and
liberty of thought and action to every
human being.

mistaken thought that these great bless

tremes-of heat and cold, of famine and
