ENSURING PROGRESS.
“There is a growing conviction that man’s scientific and material achievements have outstripped his spiritual development, and thus, if progress is to continue, it must be at a new level of consciousness which is the result of man’s realisation to the full of his spiritual possibilities,” said Miss Beatrice Baker, an English headmistress, in a recent 8.8.G*. talk. “And so if our young people are to be trained to lead a full and happy life and be prepared for whatever the future may bring them, they must pass beyond the enjoyment of the physical side of their intellectual powers and beyond this again to an appreciation of the creative spirit of the universe'waiting for an opportunity to express itself in each one of them as in all men. The operation of the Divine Spirit is not confined to one race, one religion, one creed, but is universal—and this conviction is the one sure foundation for an international outlook.”
