Our creed: An honest man, a kind, sweet woman, or a happy child has nothing to fear in either this world or the next. * :r * rt*!F

The Millenium will remain far in the future, regardless of world conditions otherwise, just as long as Want and Wretchedness stalk like grisly phantoms through the world; and two-thirds of the people of the world are hungry today.

There is an old and generally accepted bit of practical philosophy that says that if you live in a country run by a committee-get on the committee. Not true in Russia, the most notable example in history of a nation run by a committee. Most of the troubles of the Russian committees are short-lived; and so are the committees, because they kill each other. "IJneasy lies the head that wears" -not the crown as in other days, but the committee membership sign. ,<**

I shall take time out right here to give Los Angeles a pat on the back. Recently the American Legion of Southern California passed a unanimous resolution seeking to bar UNESCO from our schools; and now Los Angeles has elected a woman to the school board who was elected on an anti-UNESCO ticket; she has also been made president of that board. The days of radical leanings in Los Angeles seem over'

Wrote Fiona Macleod: "A handful of fine seeds wiil cover mountains with the green majesty of forest. I, too, will set my face to the wind and throw my handful of seed on high."

Some wag remarked an* *n"" the auto and steel workers got their recent raise, everybody got one. Wages were raised, costs were raised, prices were raised, and Mr. Consumer got raised right out of his chair.

Long ago the meat packers boasted that they utilized everything but the squeal of the pigs. Lately many lumber manufacturers boast that they utilize everything from the log but the squeal of the saws. And now we read about a mdn who runs a worm farm. He grows worms by the million and feeds them to the turkeys on his farm. He dresses his own turkeys and feeds the leavings to the trout in his own ponds. The only thing left after he markets the trout are the fish heads, and he is planning to feed them to his worms, and make the circle complete. Is that merchandising or is that merchandising?

It is Godlike restlessne"l an.a lr.n." men do lofty things. They dream dreams, and then work to make those dreams come true. Vision without a task is impractical; task without vision is drudgery. Task and vision together mean success. * ,< ,<

The world owes all its onward impulses-from the day when Adam Stonehatchet chipped his first weapon out of the living rock up to now-to men who were unwilling to stay in a rut, to follow in the footsteps of plodders, who refused to be muzzled when the talking time arrived. ff it were not for men who could not be restrained from raring up on their hind legs and speaking the truth whether it pleased the powers that be or not, we would still be living in caves, clad in the skins of wild beasts, eating raw meat, knowing no God, and chasing one another around the rocks with knotty-headed clubs loaded to scatter.

The only difference O.*;" I .,ra and a grave is the depth, and it is through the fearlessness of men who would not be held down and could not be restrained that the world owes all its forward forging. Moses was of that type; so was Jesus, and Buddha, and Confucius, and Socrates, and Galileo, and Cromwell, and Roger Bacon, and George Washington, and Abraharn Lincoln, and Columbus, and the men who took the Bastille, and many others of the same strain. *t<*

Any man who fears not to tear down foolish illusions, or to strike with full thrust at unrighteous conditions, or laws, or edicts, is a friend of mankind. without whose brains and courage this race would long since have died of dry rot; or of somethin* *oT..* *

There is .something wonderful about a man who will not mind. It is to such that we owe our salvation, our present rights and privileges. Had we, in times of old, minded the kings, we would all be slaves; had we minded the clergy, we would all be idiots; had we minded the doctors, we would all be dead. {<t<*

That last reminds me of the time when the medical profession would not give water to a typhoid fever patient.

And many millions died of thirst before they found out that copious quantities of water was what those patients must have. But one day some poor devil who was burning down with typhoid said to himself, "Well, if I'm going to die anyway, I'm going to get me a drink FIRST." So he crawled out of bed and got hold of a big pitcher of ice water, and drank it all down. And when the frightened doctor was rushed in he took the patient's pulse and found it was slower; he took his temperature and found it was lower. But he couldn't see this sign that the Lord Himself was holding up in front of his eyes. He just threw up his hands and said: "Good God ! What a constitution this guy's got !" {< 1. *

A friend said to me the other day-"Maybe you're too conservative for the times we're living in." Maybe so. My opinions on old-fashioned Americanism have long been printed in these columns. I believe in the old fundamentals, such as the purgative properties of castor oil, and the killing qualities of carbolic acid, and other things along the same line. I believe that Americanism begins at home, and should stay there. Most of our efforts abroad remind me of a little bantam hen I used to hear about. That little hen would stray farther from home, cackle louder, and lay smaller eggs than oal"t_ hen in history.

And some of them remind me of the philosophy of the long, lean country negro who was walking leisurely along outside the fence that lined a cemetery. As he walked along he read aloud the inscriptions and epitaphs on the tall monuments. and he came to one that read: "Not dead, but sleeping." And the dark one shook his head, as he loudly remarked: "FIe ain't foolin' NOBODY but jus' HrssEF."

The way of the man who sees his duty and does it, in spite of the fact that it may be directly contrary to present popular beliefs, is not always the easy way. Far from it. They said of Galileo, torture him, because he said the world was round. They said of Servetus, burn him, because he condemned their religious acts' They said of Socrates, poison him, because he laughed at the amorous gods of Greece. They said of the Carpenter, crucify him, because he drove the money-changers from the temple, and declared that the fashionable preachers of that day were a lot of canting hypocrites.

This is not the easy way. It is the hard way, all too often. The easy way is to drift with the tide, side with those in power regardless of your real opinion of them, seek the line of least resistance. But that is not the American l'rray. It is not the man's way. All through history men have had to choose to either drift or fight; the easy way that leads downward, or the hard way that struggles upward. Remember Moses? He could have lived the life of ease and luxury in the palaces of the pharaohs, but he chose, instead, the tents of the wandering tribes of Israel' He took the hard way. But when he died, God gave him a mountain top for a burial place. And he's up there still !
