Calling for the application OF Chris

of the University of Cincinnati, today
addressed the student body and fac

Teachers, on the occasion of the OBJ
servation of Funders'y Day at the in
stitution. He spoke on The Principles
of Americanism.'
"Bolshevism seeks to make a cleav-
age through all the world with work
ers the tyrants," said DIR. Dabney. we
thought we had made men everywhere
free when we arranged ourselves about
the peace table, but now the rule of
the classes is terrorizing the world.
Through it we may lose all that the
war has gained for us.
I'VE still have democracy in Amer.
lea, and we must see to II that we
continue to have it. But the germ of
a dire disease is threatening us. How
can we prevent its growth? BY get
ting the country back to the old-style
family and community where God was
revered and obeyed.

neighbors and to follow the Golden
Rule Americanism stands for our

Iy collection of individuals and their
relationship. 1t has spiritual and
physical basis, and its customs, art,
philosophy and religion are INSOFAR
able from its life. s..
"The home is the chief agent for the
development of democracy. Homes,
churches, schools and communities
must work hand in hand for this end.
The world cannot be recreated through
legislation nor through economic rev
olution. What we need is new So
cial vitality which is the product of
good will and of love of God.
at IS the children who renew the
race and their training in the right
direction should be our first concern.
Americanism must be taught in the
schools and the old American family
must be restored"
