The two weeks services lead

extremely satisfactory in the
way of evangelizing, reyitaliz-

added to the church and were

The services all day Easter
Sunday were full of life and

best; his morning sermon gave
food for thought for the

added much to make the serv-

by the beautiful violin music

THE SEED BED OF DEMOCRACY
BY WCE-PREs. HENRY A. WALLACE

Here in the United States our
population is a blend of many
races, Men and women of divers
origins have built our science,
our literature, and our arts, our
finance, our industry and our
government. We have eStab-
ished here the truth of a gene
tic basis for democracy.
When I was a small boy,
George Washington Carver was
a good friend Of my fathers at
the Iowa State College. Carver
at that time was specializing in
Botany, and he would take me
along on some of his botanizing
trips. 1t was he who first intro
duced me to the mysteries of
botany and plant fertilization.
Later on 1 was to have an init
mate acquaintance with plants
myself, because I spent a good
many years breeding corn. Per-
hapS that was partly because
this scientist, who belonged to
another race, had deepened my
appreciation of plants in a way
I could never forget.
I mention Carver simply be-
cause be is one example of a
truth of which we are today
deeply convincved. Ability and
character are not the exclusive
possessions of any one race or
any one class. They may arise
anywhere, provided men are
given the right opportunities.
In a democracy, every indi-
vidual according to his station
in life and according to his
capacity should have opportun-
! lty Tor Joyous service of the gen
eral welfare. Democracy must
apply itself to meeting the ma
terial need of men for work, for
income, for goods, for health,
for security, and to meeting
their spiritual need for dignity,
for knowledge, for self-express-
ion. for adventure and for rev
erence. And it must succeed.
The danger that it will be over
| thrown in favor of some other
