MAN’S TRUE TASK
Sir.—No one can study the evolution of life from the tiflal beaches of a thousand million years ago without becoming convinced that all the plants, animals and men born on the eagth form together just one great family of life. Among these various forms of life man, by his power, now holds 'a predominant place. How will he use that power? Will he use to it try to further his own particular interest by exploiting every other form of life? Or will he regard the power that he possesses as a trust to be used for the common benefit? Will justice for all, particularly for those members too weak to secure it for themselves, become his goal? Of one thing I feel sure. Man must see himself as part of something bigger than himself in order that he may carry out man’s true task.—Yours, etc., T , _ N. M. BELL. July 23, 1948.
