AN APPRECIATION
GANDHI’S UNIVERSAL HUMANITY. “However often we may differ from Mr Ghandi, we are conscious all the time of his sincerity, his selfishness, and, above all, of his fundamental and universal humanity. He always adtd as a great human, with deep sympathy for men of all classes arfd all races and specially for the under-dog. His outlook has nothing sectional about it, but it is distinguished Itiy that universal and eternal human which is the hallmark of true greatness of spirit. It is curious haw in these days of European confusion and decline Asia, is steadily moving to the front. Among the gieatest men on the public stage of the world to-day are two Asiatics->-Gandhi arid Chiang-kai-shek, both moving immense masses of men along noble lines to a destiny which in essence is one with the high Christian ideal which the West has received but .no longer seriously practises.”—General Smuts.
