TOPICS OF THE DAY

Worship of Power “History certainly supports the view that monstrous usurpations of power are most frequently destroyed from within. But the present generation, faced with an unprecedented menace, cannot be wholly content to take a long view of the Promised Land of deliverance which they may not be alive to enter. This is the inexorable way of nature, but humanity must devise means not only of co-operat-ing* with the unknown corrective forces but of reducing the toll of havoc. It must find out how to tame power, how to subject it to higher law than that of nature, bv harnessing it to a purpose greater than itself. In this effort which has the supreme sanction of religion and ethics it may be that ‘the gulfs will wash us down,’ but sustained bv the faith that the power of righteousness endures and cannot be ultimately destroyed, we must'be ‘strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and*not to yield’.”—Western Mail (Plymouth, England).
