Our status In the world has risen
considerably, as consequence Of this

very fact Of this exaggerated talk of
the Jew, this very assignation Of the
role of Atlas to him, speaks elOquently
OF the giant stature that he has recent
ly attained though much of that
growth may have taken place in the

With all these transformations in our
physical and spiritual life and being
taking place and with almost lightning
rapidity before our very eyes, with the
wheel OF history revolving so fast and

are enabled to, visualize the future, to
