Mr. King outlined these PURPOSES
In part. as follows:
The fact that YOU have .

proach these words with an analvt
lcal eye When ] analyzc the wards
| discover that there are two nor.
sons mentioned-the young woman
ana jesus Christ. also discover
tnnl mere Is proposed relation
, .,,p pc'wcen the two persons
therefore. the way To approach is 10
form clear idea OF the two persons
ana then come TO an UNDERSTANDING
OF IN" proposed relationship between
the two persons
WHO Is this nrst person? You
answer, Why all Of us know this
hrst person. Why dwell ON here
am not so sure we do know this first
person Perhaps we knew her in
years that are past. but do we know
the young woman OF today?
In the first place she is the moral
gauge OF our society. This first
person. with whom your association
Is concerned. determines the morals
OF inc community. Society cannot
reach higher planes OF living than
she has reached in her own eyperi-
encc. The other sex responds and
accepts her ideals because OF Cod
given power that she Yields over
him.
New Force In Life
Again. this first person Is new
force that has Just been ushercd into
our industrial. civil and political
life. This young woman is not 10
be identified with the secluded Young
woman of yesterday. This person is
mighty potential that we suddenly
discover in the Industrial life, i'm the
political life and in the professional
life of our country.
This leads me to say that this
UTSt person IN hcr new relationships
finds herself confronted with tenn.
tations whose name Is Legion The
young woman having entered in
large numbers into the Industrial
and int" the political life finds her
self without certain safeguards that
she has always had thrown around
her. Sh" now meets the other sex
on entirely different grounds from
the women az yesterday. She must
fight for moral idcalism that Is
constantly put To the test
Let me say in the last place that
Notwithstanding all the new rcla-
tionshipS % this first person she is
the future mother and teacher Of
men ana women. In working with
her you are working with the men
and women of tomorrow. Already
I feel in the depths of my being the
tremendous Importance of Your
work
