of good in the world, but it is poor
ly organized. We need today the
creation of a body of opinion look

uation of personal life. This must
contain several elements. 1 plead
/ for the creation of a body of opin-
ion in the interest of peace. We
must have discovered in the last
two years the utter impossibility
of settling differences by war. The
war hardly had closed when the po-
liticians were at their old tricks of

sit is a moment of crisis with
us today. We say the war is over,
still we are spending money, $4,000,
600 a day, for war expenses. We
are in situation that demands the
most heroic consideration. The hour
has struck for the individual-the
forgotten man-to rise and shout
''There shall be no more war"
81 should further plead that we
come to a bitter realization of
wealth and its application. We are
in world of magnitude today, ana
we must come to a realization of
personal liberty. We are about to

an age where the individual has

mill SO a day. And we must read
just the system of values whereby
the teachers of our children are
paid less than the janitors in the
school buildings. The dominant
phase of education should be the
art of social living, for we must
learn the art of getting along with
each other.
1.-THE task of the twentieth CEN
fury is to create great brother
hood of man. The time has come
when the moral forces of the world
must be re-organized, and when
each child will have to be taught
sacrificial self expression"
A forty-minute period of ques-
tioning the speaker by the audience
followed the address. The. ques-
tions as a whole touched upon mat
tiers relating to the creation of bet
ter understanding between the white
