And with an inner sight divine
The meaning Of your heart and

I'm sure that we would differ less
And clasp our hands in friendliness;
Our thoughts would pleasantly

II knew you and you knew me

Could look each other in the face
And see therein truer grace,

So many thorns for every rose;

Il mention Carver simply because he is one
example of a truth of which we who meet here today
are deeply convinced. Superior ability is not the ex-

opportunities"
"The government official warned that demo-
cracy's chief danger lies in selfish economic practices
which produce vast wealth for the few on one hand
and abysmal poverty for large sections of the popu-
lation. Deeds alone, he asserted, are what democracy
will be judged by:
"Democracy-and that term includes free
science" he said, must apply itself to meeting the
material need of men for work, for income, for goods,
for health, for security, and to meeting their spiri-
tual need for dignity, for knowledge,for self-expres-
sion, for adventure, and for reverence. And it must
succeed.
1.-THE danger that is will be overthrow in favor
OF some other system is in direct proportion to its
failure to meet these needs. We may talk all we like
about the beauties of democracy, the ideals of demo-
cracy, the Brightness of democracy. In the long run.
democracy OF any other political system will be
measured by its needs, not its words
