Our nation was founded upon i ;e principle which is the toundaf.o.; of all monotheistic religion- - the Fatherhood of tied and tile !>.v ■ erhood of Man. We gave a! ey i tr ee to this credo when we t : as the cornerstone >f the- ■ m - lie, the declaration that all men are created equal. Consider the prayer of on- : ' -' President.

Here was no mention of race, creed or color. Here were drawn none of the differentiating lines of the Old World, He prayed to t ■ Father of all mankind that His children might recognize their Kinship and display the spirit of brotherhood. Our need for brotherhood is e ! veil greater todtiy than it was i when the republic was founded, If ; we arc to survive as a nation, if i v - are to take our propel place , ai the world of nations, we must ; have 1 rotherhood - not a condas | vending charity toward those I whose ancestry, faith or work is different than ours, but a whole hearted acceptance of the kinship of all right thinking men, of the brotherho 1 of man under the fatherhood ot (jod.

If v\e as in* ■ lividuals cannot get along with nr neighbors, how can we ever hope to live peaceably with other nations. Prejudices and bigotry are the subterfuge and the found ation of all wars. The full expression of brother hood is the Golden Rule which has never been surpassed as the piactical rule of life and as the only has s for peace on earth. \s wv celebrate the birthday of the Father -if our country during Ilrothevb.ood Week, let us pause ■ pledge ourselves again to that A,- l ien Rule of Life - “Therefore all thing' whatsoever v that men should <lo to you even so to them: for this law and the prophets. would | do ye. is the THE COMMON DEFENSE IF \ MAN LIVES "'HAT HE BELIEVES .... By Dr. William Agar, Acting President of Freedom House On January 29th of this year. William Allen White died after a long and active career during which his human quality, his warmth and honesty, his love his fellow man had endeared him to all. There are countless stories a bout his amounting almost to le gend - the way he hired his men with the understanding that, after a trial period, if they succeeded and wished to stay, they could never he fired; his belief that both owner and worker must he lice it they are to do their best work; his never failing readiness to -a rifice himself, to pla>.> him or his paper^at the disp sal cause he believed in. But J.e> add up to this - and it is the les son we should learn fr m him :i a man lives what he believes he can and does influence the community around him whether be his town, his country or world. Because William White lived what he believed so thorough!;,, his community liecanie the wmld. But it's never an easy thing do and William White kept 'ctore him always a moving remi1 n • o! what such living means. It picture which hung in hi3 office, probably the only one of us k si - a candid camera shot of General Grant at the battle oi Cold Spir.s Harbor, the bloodiest in !t, t War. It is a terrifying picture of a man in torment. For Grant knew the price m blood ot the order he was obliged to give his men. But he also knew w .a. was at stake and that he give it. So he did what lie behe e i was right and all the ten.' a c*, of that decision showed in ids face sis the camel a recorded it. Once we understand i‘.r picture meant more t \\ i:i.m White than any other posse sion of his, we get a glimpse at the unflinching pattern of his own life. And we understand why, lov ing America as lie did. he was one of the first to realize that only by sacrificing her. hei people, n resources in the war agau tj ranny could se ever really he free. ' The sense of strength and in 1 spiration which always emanates fl ■ < it© • of is beliefs and willing to sacrifice all to make them a liv ing reality i- '.he le.-sm - t "is life. It is for tliat he will be remembered. a ays State College Hints Farm Homemakers 15> I!r i ll ( l liHI N I N. ( .
