THE OLD AND THE NEW
By the Right Reu. James E. Freeman D., ILL., D, E. L.,
Bishop of Washington

With mingled feelings of Joy and sor-
row we take our leave of the old year.
With 'deepened faith and courage we
face new year that is yet to be. Thus
we live our days and thus we press on
in high hope and expectation that out
of all the strange and tragic circum-
stances of life better things are yet to
come. Despite gathering clouds and
confused motives we venture to give our
greeting to friend and neighbor alike
and say: "a Happy New Year!"
The new year can be happy even
though it may be one fraught with test
ings and trials. 1t can be made the
happier, the more satisfying, if we de-
liberately set ourselves to assume obli-
cations that call for self-sacrificing
service for others. The very fact that
the new year promises to be one of in
creasing problems, in which many new
adjustments must be made in our social
and economic life, presents challenge
to every man and woman who is seek
ing a better and more equitable world
order. Nothing would do so much to
handicap us in doing our part to this
end as an excess of bias and prejudice.
We cannot live effectively and efficiently
in changing world unless we are ready
to adapt our life to new and changed
conditions. This does not mean parting
company with our principles or our
ideals, it does mean sensible reckoning
with new conditions as they arise. st.
Pauls dictum fits the situation where
he says: Il am made all things to all
men," BY this standard he would,
without sacrifice of principle adapt him.
self to new situations and new and
pressing demands. This is Christian
craftsmanship at its best. In this he was
following the way of his Master, who met
every type and condition of life as it pre-
sented itself. Here was fxity of convic-
ton and purpose, coupled with fexibil-
ity of practice.
AS we approach a new year with It's
impending changes, its complex prob
lens, we need clarity of vision and
breadth of mind to meet new conditions.
We also need to have deep conviction

Mental Diseases

Another scientific institute has
been proposed for Washington--an-
other unit in the fast-growing group
of establishments which is making
this city the greatest medical center
on earth.
The new institute, the recon-
mendation for which has met the
approval of Surgeon General Parran,
Is for the study of mental diseases.
It proposes to work in close associa-
ton with Saint Elizabeth's Hospital
and with the National Institute of
Health.
Mental disease is growing prob
lem. There now are more than half
a million insane patients in the
United States. Research has been
scattered and spasmodic. But the
reduction Of this growing burden and
the saving of infinite heartache for
patients and families is probably the

entirely possible that the United States
would inherit the responsibility of hold
ing together the outlying portions of the
British Empire. This would be an in
herited responsibility involving Canada
and Australia in particular. President
Roosevelt is prepared to assume that
responsibility if it is forced by events,
and to expand American influence in
the world. Whether this will involve
war will depend upon the action of ma
tions other than the United States. If
Germany and Italy finally defeat Britain
and then expect to assume control Of
the worlds trade routes and to take over
the British Empire, they first will need
to defeat the United States. If they
defeat Britain and then turn to the
East, using care not to jeopardize Amer
lean vital interests, they may avoid war
with this country.
Definitely, however, the United States
is not to turn in on itself unless forced
to do so by events beyond its control.
This country is starting out to make
its influence felt in the world. The
experiment in mild nationalism at home
that was represented by the New Deal
of the past eight years is going to remain
static while the new venture into ex-
panded world responsibilities is under
taken. The only way that this new ven-
ture could be checked now would be for
Congress to deny funds for greatly in
creased armament and to turn its back
upon White House requests for action
that will aid Britain. 1t Is highly i'm
probable that majority in Congress

q minority may cause delay In making
those trends more apparent.

such use of the banner of the Rising
