Mrs. Moorhead read passage writ
ten by Wilson after his retirement
as applicable to our present un-
certainties."
IN these doubtful and anxious
days." she quoted, when all the
world is at unrest, and look which
way you will, the road ahead seems
darkened by shadows which portend
dangers of many kinds. it is only
common prudence that we should
look about us and attempt to assess
the causes of distress and the most
likely means of removing them
There must be some real ground
for the universal unrest and per-
turbation. 1t is not to be found in
superficial politics or in mere eco
nomic blunders. 1t probably lies
deep at the sources of the spiritual
life of our time But democracy has
not yet made the world safe against
irrational revolution. That supreme
task which is nothing less than the
salvation of civilization, now faces
democracy, insistent, imperative
There is no escaping it unless every
thing we have built up is presently
to fall in ruin about us and the
United States as the greatest of
democracies, must undertake it,
ITO that supreme task-insistent,
imperative, we of the Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club rededicate
ourselves" she concluded.
