WHY YOU LIVE.

Sometimes you wonder what the
purpose is in making you live this
life. You meditate What Is IL all
about, this thing we call life? What
is man? What am /? What Is my
present existence here on earth a
preparation fort"
An answer 10 these questions is at
tempted in new theory, the discus
sion Of which is engaging the atten-
ton Of many men in the scientific
world. The story is called time
biding," and its author is Count AL
fred Korsybski. a Polish nobleman,
who explains il in his book, Man
hood Of Humanity"
Plants have only one purpose, he
says--to take energy from the sun
and convert IL into chemical energy.
Plants can't move about. Animals eat
the plants and, while they can move
about in space at will. they also are
space-bound.
But man is not Gagged by space. He
moves in time, hence he Is time-bound
That is, what you do now exerts a
definite influence on things that will
happen after you are materially dead.
Like Elias Howe, who by inventing
the sewing machine, started some
thing that give him tremendous in
fluence after his death.
No horse knows that his ancestors
were as small as cats. No horse is
making plans foT ale future condi-
ton Of horses. That is because the
horses, like all plants and al animals
are space-bound.
Prehistoric bees did their work ex-
actly the same way as the bees Of to-
day. No expert bee passed on to fu-
ture generations any discoveries
at~ut how 20 make more money in
less time. Bees, like animals and like
plants, are space-bound-concerned
only with the present, ignorant Of the
past, obl;vious to the future.
Man, however, has the time-bind-
ing power which frees hirl from space
From the beginning he has sought,
learned and passed on TO posterity
ways Of getting greater returns in
less time.
Most of the material wealth now
existing in the world is not the prod
net Of the toll of those now living
II is a gift from the dead-and this
is as true Of organized society and
efficient methods Of doing things as
il is true Of physical gifts from past
generations-such as clearing tim
her lands for farms or building rail
roads.
Mar records history, acquires wis
dom, makes progress and creates ma
terial and spiritual wealth 10 be pass
ed on 20 future generations.
Animals cannot do this, as Korsyb-
ski points out, hence, man is not an
animal.
He has conquered space-bourd ma
ture.
He has the power Of time-binding
the ability 20 use the present es a
link 20 bind the past 10 the future.
Obviously, then, the function Of
every man and communicating
yourself-is service to humanity for
the present and for all time, not
merely as matter Of personal OF
present gain, like space-bound ami
mails. In other words, our greatest
mission in life is TO do things while
here that will be helpful 70 those
among whom we live now as well
as to those who will come after US.

A Pertinent Query

Declaring that all race prejudice Is un-Christian and
that all nations Of the world Of blood and should
live in peace together the Salem Ministerial association last
week adopted resolution condemnng certain newspaper
editors particularly of the Hearst and Scrpps publications
for printing articles calculated to srup and aggravate
bad feeling between the United States and other countries
especially Japan declaring 1t morally wrong to str-up
racial prejudices.
The resolution is identical with recently passed by
the Seattle Ministerial association and bears the earmarks
of being propaganda conducted at the nsgaton Of the Sc
attic Chamber of Commerce in behalf of the Japanese who
Seattle the Japanese capital of America center
ing their commercial interests there to punish San Francis
co for the Anti-Japanese attitude Of California. From Sc
attic has emanated much of the proJapanese propaganda
met with in Oregon and other states and 1t is evident that
something has been slipped upon the unsuspectng
preachers.
But why do the Salem ministers condemn the Hearst
Scrpps papers for their Seattle utterances at
tempt to sr-up racial anmosity and remain silent con-
corning much sinister attempt to strup racial pre-
judce not only antJapanese but antSemitic anoregn
born and antnegro right here in Salem?
If it is morally wrong" to stirup racial preudces in
Seattle newspapers is 1t not morally wrong to organize
secret societies in Salem pedgng allegiance to emperors
of invisible empires whose avowed purpose is not only
stirring of racial preudces but Also which and
far excusabe free America the stirring up of
gious prejudces?
If as the Ministerial association declares that the time
has for Christians everywhere to resist this grow
ing ev and that all prejudice is un-Christian and
that all nations Of the world of blood and should
live in peace together why is 1t silent the Ku Kux Klan
and its effort to incucate the divine right of the white
supremacy idea and its unChrstan efforts to bring about
civil and restore the intolerance and bgory Of bygone
generations?
Why should the uterances Of distant Seattle newspapers
alarm the Salem ministers and the uterances of the Ku Kux
Kan and its federation of oath bound secret societies to
dominate Oregon politics in the interest of racial and reg
ious preudces be passed over in silence?
If the time has come for Christians everywhere to resist
the growing evil of prejudice" and if all prejudice
Is un-Chrstian why do not the ministers of Salem unite
to stamp-out such awless organizations? Why indeed
dearly beloved brethren?

Dear Mr.. Fisher:
You will remember that some
months ago you published an edi-
torial with the caption THE Chi
nese Relief Fiasco." In which
certain rather unfavorable com
nents were made on the conduct
Of the Chinese Relief campaign,
and especially on the fact that
funds had been over-subscribed
and were being held In New York
AS soon a5 the article came to
my attention wrote you, asking
the courtesy OF space to correct
any impression that any of our
donors might have received that
the funds were not used as they
should have been.
At that time 1t had not been
determined In what way the sur
plus funds were to be used. am
just now In receipt Of commun-
icatlon showing the way the funds
are to be used, and | shall greatly
appreciate 1t IL you can find
space for this statement.

ingly difficult to secure funds. |
was amazed last summer to find
the miracles we were working
with the limited funds at our dis
posal and 1t was heartbreaking
to see what could be done IL only
the American people could see
what their money was actually
doing. The publication of such
an article as | enclose will help
to confirm the faith of the people
that those who are directing these
relief organizations are striving
TO meet a situation which simply
staggers human imagination.
With deep appreciation OF your
many favors, .
