FROM SORROW TO SYMPATHY
A Hindu mother lost her only
daughter. She was crushed with
grief,- r.ot knowing what to do. When
she could keep silent no longer she
carried her burden to a prophet amcng
her people. He request of him
was extraordinary. With tokens of
sorrow that could not be concealed
she implored him to bring her child
back to her. The prcphet. into whose
ear* tbf sorrows of multitudes had
been poured-, liMcned to her story
as he watched her tenderly.
When she had concluded he said
to her: "See the houses here and
there?. Start over here and go among
them, one after the other, and bring
me handful ct rice from the home in
to which death has not entered'; aud
when you return with the rice I
shall bring your child back to you."
The woman started eui wrm swut
feet and an eager heart. She went
from home to home. She spoke witih
u-'.nc member cf each family, telling
the purpose of her mission. But in
alt cases she get the same answer?

cf tlicua would' gladly have parted
with the rice, but she oW not dare

By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
?Sentinel* o/ the Republic ???
Again America U seeking with eager
hope the road to progress and recovery.
Both government and private enterprise
are participating In the search.
Numerous plans have been proposed
and vigorously debated. Some new
charts have been Introduced, and various
old ones dusted off and re-submitted
as guides to the lost path.
Just why a nation blessed above all
others In security (com invasion, in the
scope and value of Its natural resources.
In the strength and vigor and Intelligence
of its people should suffer the
blight of continued unemployment ahd
halted production remains a puzzle to
many. Yet the answer may lie before
them In our own Inspiring history.
* When did America make its greatest
strides in national development and the
general well-being of all Its people?
It was when the American people felt
and demonstrated their faith In themselves
as Citizens.
It was when they expressed in their
works and their attitudes the pride ef
pioneer ancestors whose courage self
gaereda wUderaess and built a nation.
It waa ta Um dan whan n? and
women turned to thetnaelrea or to onah
other, rather than to polities! prom tew
and political patronage, for help.
In the veins of the gipat majority of
our people still flows the blood of such
pioneers. In their characters still persist
the strength and the courage of
such fathers.
If Americans apply to their problems
of today the strength, the self-reliance,
the independence of spirit that distinguished
those history-making forebears,
If they look to themselves rather
than to polltica for achievement; then
the way to progress thSt once stretched
so wide, should open again. They are
the ones whs bnlh America. They are
the ones who can restore it to as atAnd
the theorists who Insist that they
must rely on political aid and edicts
for that progress simply don't understand
the history or the baste character
of the then who made and ma Ir a
