All things that God has Great
ed pass through certain stages of
evolution. A tree, a plant or an
animal go through stages of de-
yelopment, Each of these stages
Is peculiar to itself. The perfee-
ton reached at maturity depends
upon many factors but nothing
can prevent its reaching maturity
except death. So 1t Is with a
child-if he lives he will grow In
TO a man, We may wish him to
remain a child. but in spite of our
wishes, he Is bound to grow up.
Mankind Is no exception to this
rule. In spite of 50 many forces
holding 1t back. Mankind is grow
ing up. Some of us may rebel
against many of the changes
which have been occurring the
last few years but the world as
We know 1t will never return.
Instead of bemoaning the good
old days" let us try to adjust
II lives and thoughts to new
ways in a new world. 1t is this
unwillingness of so many of us,
and especially the world leaders,
to accept new ideas, and the tend
ency to hinder rather than to
help, which is causing this world
conflict.
In a stagnant dying world there
would be no vast upheaval follow
ing oppression. If mankind were
not emerging from its state of
maturity where it insists upon
doing its own thinking 1t would
not be breaking its bonds. In the
words of Baha'u'llah, the Found
er of the Baha'i Faith we find
these pertinent statements:
Justice Is in this day, bewail-
ing its plight. and equity groan-
eth beneath the yoke of oppres-
sion. The thick clouds of tyra-
my have darkened the face of
the earth, and enveloped its peo-
pie. Through the movement of
the Pen of Glory We have breath
ed a new life into every human
frame, and instilled into every
word a fresh potency. All Great

Mr.. Johnston criticized labor but
for every one Of the seven deadly
sins which he said labor had COM
mitted, he confessed a parallel sin
committed by business.

Secretary Hull attempted an an,

we can understand what we are
fighting for. we must have a better
understanding Of what we think we

the common ground upon which all
stand but there is considerable
difference as to how each one defines
democracy.

some are even optimistic enough to

for rejoicing when anybody sets out
