be careful that words and defin-
tons be not walls to separate
US, but only bridges across which
our hearts may go and be joined
together. Let US realize clearly
that languages and customs and
skins are merely the outward and
incidental things; that within we
all are very much alike, with
little reason for despising or un-
duly exalting any section of our
human race.
When boys get to defining
things they often get as mixed

we have aspiring and perspiring
students saying:

II those students knew q little
better the things 50 misrepre
scented, there would be much less

reason why human beings dislike
one another is usually due to
the fact that they know 50 little
about the other fellow.

of God as one Lord. The word,

The word Allah" is the name

Moslems OF all kinds. It is made

is found also in the Aramaic

He talked with His and our breth-

enunciated that incompatible
principle Of generosity as out

those fundamental truths OF ma

ancient Arabic.
