In broadcasting a $50 meter wave
was used. All stations that had tuned
in were asked to notify The Tribune,
stating how clearly the program was
heard and naming any numbers that
may have been especially plain.
Mr.. Shepherds sermon follows:
democracy is defined as The asso-
citation of a free people to plan a com
mon program If we are to Make the
world safe for democracy what kind
of democracy is meant? We have
neither industrial. political nor social
democracy. America went to war for
n great program, now we have no pro-
gram whatever. Yet, ours seems the
most stupendous time in history. In
dustrially we are living in the middle
ages, while all thinkers know that the
industrial program must be settled
soon if industrial chaos is to be
avoided.
I'VE have opportunities to express
life in higher forms through modern
inventions and organizations. The prin-
ciples of action which Jesus gave are
before us. The gospel applied would
abolish cl:/s differences. II has slim
ulated the masses to rise and it must
reveal the goal Of the uprising.
Every institution is itself the prod
net of an idea. But when the institu-
ton fOrgets its origin there is danger.
Burk tells us that Whenever q Separa-
ton is made between liberty and jus
tice the safety of both is endangered.
Liberty and justice are children of the
gospel. The mother is forgotten in
some portions of the world. Russia for
example, and atrocities u~nspeakable
are now done in the name of liberty.
Without religion justice becomes a
wild expression of rage and Indignation
of power. while liberty is the cry of
a fratricidal multitude. Newton proved
the oneness of the universe. that, in
stead of a mass of words and systems
in confusion, we have a marvellous har-
mony OF the spheres. Goo has made no
half hinges. Surely He does not intend
to be more prodigal of methods in the
material than in the spiritual world.
Have we not a right to look for har-
mony in the social and spiritual realm?
But in spite Of His prayer that
They all may be one men are seeking
out many inventions and are organizing
TO perpetuate class distinctions and
class consciousness, always to the de-
struction of the peace of each class.
Education AS a Harmonizer

Stanley Hall says. The American pub

the most expensive. the best equipped

the past 10 years has been two and q
half times as great as among adults.

are too often ignored in the schools.
