privilege theirs when they unfold the pages OF te
and glance the top of the of the head
lines? Do the people the country today appreciate the
great advances that have been made during the past nan
century in the method of news distribution?
Fifty years ago from the opposite side of the
world would not be printed in your nearest newspaper
for weeks after the event had happened Before the
day of the telegraph and teleph with only mail
service the news of the world days and weeks ola
before appeared in the columns of the papers Today
radio has been added to the services of the telegraph
and the telephone and is flashed instantly from
every country the world The newspaper offices have
likewise speeded up The typecasting machine and the
speeding have made possible for news items mar
rating events that have just occurred in all parts of the
world appear within few minutes in the columns of
the daily press.
Not only are permitted read the newspaper
but may sit at firesde and listen to the
broadcasng sending the of the world to the people
of the world We lounge back in easy chair and hear
the voice of statesman explaining national egsa
ton frequently listen to the voice Of the president
of the United States he gives message to his people
We hear the finest of operate compositions and the
swing and the Jazz Distances have been eliminated and
the geography of the world has been shrunk into single
map Seas and continents have been muddled into one
common mixture and out of it all the voices of
of nation speaking in alien languages broadcastng
the hghlghts of every sector of the earth.
When pick up the local paper and glance at its
headlines read down its columns cognizant of
the almost ncomprehensble advance that the of
distribution has made in the last few decades? Truly
there has been another age when there has
the phenomenal advance that has marked this Added
to this is the fact that the world and its people every
line of business and effort have made the same i'm
measurable advances in their particular world of en-
deavor Even the great science and invention
have been turned from intelligent upbuding of the peo
pie of the world to their destruction are in the midst
OF transformation in world conditions Not alone the
geography of the world changing but the very peope
that lnhabt the earth undergoing chance in their
MODES OF life, all the result of ghastly strife that is be-
ing forced upon them by few power-crazed human
atrocities who are dominating by force intrigue and mis-
representation the humans that were free people
Man was born to think and reason and rise above
the other factors that constitute human life Peraps this
Deakage IN the line of human progress is destined to be
the lesson that will teach that only the precepts and
manifestations of humanity can survive Perhans the
sorry plight of the world today just to impress upon us
the value OF personal liberty and the right to be man
among other men, Perhaps the lesson as now being
Taught the world will emphasize the human element Of
Drotherhood and the sacredness human rights Will
mere emerge from this paroxysm of bloody and nhuman
S'fe world OF peace and happiness? If we possess
couehce IN Christian existence and faith in human
tegence then there must in Just compensation
perod OF calm and quiet when the entire human family
may enjoy an era of worldwide peace If we could not
MINK ana believe this life would not be worth the while
