mate successor of Newton and Calico.
President Hibben in an address in
German, said:
''It is particular honor and high
ly esteemed privilege to bid you a
hearty welcome to Princeton. 'Natur-
ally, we have heard much about the
famous theory of relatively, and we
have also read somewhat. But have
we understood?" he asked. as a muir
muir of laughter went around the
auditorium, to which Mr.. Einstein
smiled in answer. '4That is ques-
tion. Today we have the fortunate oc-
casion of listening to your own eN-
PLANTATION of this theory, and we are
confident that thru your deft leader
ship we shall find ray of light cast
upon this darx pathway.
'In your writing you have, with in
trepid thought, speculated upon the
possibility of finite and yet mlimit-
ed universe. Whether this universe
Is finite or infinite it is not for me
to say. Certainly, however, there is
world which has no limits what
ever. ...
This is the world of the spirit, to
which you belong by unquestioned
right" -..
How lucidly and simply this was
stated! 1.-THE limitless world of the
spirit" to which Einstein has proven
his right of citizenship by more than
one association.

This is true, it is always those people
who identify themselves with house
of worship who are the people of the
community. BY that action they show
the world that they are willing to do
their part in helping humanity, ply
sically as well as spiritually. They
are willing and ready to do and to
give. They are already organized by
the very fact of their membership and
can be reached to help-which they
are willing to do-for they uncon-
sciously demonstrate by that affilia-
tion their belief in the fatherhood OF
God and brotherhood of man.
