(Continued from Page 3) Advances In Other Spheres

“But leaving the realm of the material iet us glance for a ano- ment at some advances in other Spheres. Think of the strides we ,have taken in regard to matters of public health. Diseases that iwipeci out human lives by the thousand have been brought un- der controi. By prevelltiveas well as by curative medicine, mun has to e large degree become master of his environment. The expect- -ancy of life has been lengthened for us all. and the scriptural measure of three score years and ten seems in a fair way to belug lengthened to fourscore.

. Advanc In Thinking l "Or again recall the advances thinking

As you all know

|man Catholics were accorded full political rights in Great Britain, and Great Britain we have ai- ways regarded as one of the more advanced homes of western civill- .zetion.

“Then in 1832. and in i846 canle the Reform Bills that extended the franchise to men who had previously not been accorded that mark of the free man. A year after the passing of the first of these Reform Bills, slavery was abolished throughout the Briiisi‘. Colonies.

All Men Brothers

"Christianity since its introduc- tion to the Western world had taught that all men were broth- ers and one God was their father. But the implications of that teaching were not generally rec- ognized to apply to men whose skin was of s different color. Men, sincerely godly, had held their fellow-manure property and saw no anomaly in such a situation. A hundred years ago women and _chiidren were kept at work that was brutallzlng where it yvas not killing, end only a. few leaders were beginning to be disturbed s- bout it ell. In the introduction to his study of Matthew Arnold, Carleton Stanley, then president of Dalhousie University, speaking of this period says: ‘One may read accounts of children of seven or less working in mills from 5 em. to 9 pm, beaten when they fell asleep‘.

"Then, fearful that he may be wcused of citing as general what was merely sporadic Dr. Stanley quotes from Clapham's Early Vic- torian England:

“Mere babies of three or four were put to cottage lace-making and strew-plalting in the’ sixties... children were regularly sent to learn how to seam knitted gloves old, sometimes at three end s haif...After long dis- cmsionmand a fierce agitation in the north.. the State had started e comprehensive system for the regulation o! the labour o-f children and young persons in textile fac- iories in 1833. It came fully into force in 1838. and was on its trial during the next years.

Literature 0f Lest 1B0 Years

“Students oi literature recall that the whole realm of literature that expresses interest in and con- cern for the oppressed end re- pressed people. fnctory hands. mine workers, the lyric of social sympathy-u it is celled-has been produced in approximately the last one hundred end fifty years. Scientists tell us that man has been on the earth thousands upon thousands, penheps millions. of yearsand yet the changes that have meant most to us as free peoples have oonle in the last century or two. No wonder it has left us confused and bewildered. "We have fought wnrstoendwars and have thought that man was such a reasonable and thinking creature that wars would vanish from the earth, that everywhere swords would be beaten into plow- shares and pruning hooks. We have forgotten that human nature cannot be changed over night. I believe. however, it.’ this earth is to become what we would have it become, we as human beings must become sufficiently reasonable and spiritual to abolish war.

"The readies! parallel to this hasty thinking of ours that. comes to my mind is the enthusiasm‘ with w-hich men of the Western World welcomed the French Ro- volution. Men like Wordsworth, and Coleridge, and many others thought that because a band of men in France cried ‘Liberty, Eq- uality, and Fraternity‘ a new earth was about to be set up no: only in France but tilroughollr the whole Western world. And I would have you bear in mind that we of the Western world. rightly cr wrongly, have identified west- ern civilization with Christian civilization. In the years that follmred the Revolution those Eng- lishmen I have named saw that ‘the brave new world’ was not to oonle with such swiftness.

World Confused

"I trust that ~I have not dwelt on this topic so long that you have reached the conclusion that i am accepting a belief that our civilization is doomed. 1 have dwelt on ihls subject at length to try to answer the question I pro- posed earlier. You young peopieare going out into a world that is cun- iused and bewildered because- such at least is my bellef—-of the rapidity with which it has ad- vanced.

"It has not had time, or we| human beings have not had D0103,‘ lo adjust to these ideas and ideals. We have invented atomic bombs and have used them lo de- stroy our fellow man because at, the moment that seemed the eas-i lest thing to do if we were il-Oi. ourselves to be destroyed. Now we must readjust and learn to apply these new discoveries to the bel- terment of human society. We must still accept the prospect oil lmprnvemenhaccept in some meas- ure at. least what Godwin called ‘the perfectibllity of man‘.

"The next question I lvould pro- puose is, what is to be your attit- ude towards this bewiidered world in which you are now to take your place? I sincerely hope that you will-go out with e positive attitude towards our democratic way of life. At the heed of any list. of attitudes we may drew up I trust that you are going to place a. full acceptance of the principle of respect for the worth. the dignity, and the liberty of the human personality.

Value 0f Individual

"Now this principle of the value of the individual as an individual has many implications. It follows of very necessity that ‘the indiv- idual must have the right to voice his opinion by speech or in the press. so widely is the implicat- ion oi this right accepted that we do not interfere by law so long es what is said or written is not sllb- versive of government or of relig- ion.

“Of course, in times of war we accept limitations of this right. but such restrictions, we affirm, must not be continued longer than is necessary. In order that tilere may be no wrong done the individual in the exercise of this privilege. we insist on the right of the individual to open trial by his peers, and in order that our Judg- es may render impartiaijuligment. i‘ v must be free from icar of] . insuffic- lsnr. reason. Even during the re- ccnt war a leading Canadian jour- nal argued that e certain out-

sclentlnc, economic, gud political theories for himself. Consequent- ly we say that Democracy is ex- perimental in its outlook; it. ex- lltl the scientific approach to ilfwwledge. Further the citizen must be given freedom of associ- atlon in labour unions, in political parties, and in church affairs.

"Recall for the moment what happened in totalitarian states to labour unions, to political parties that differed from the government of the day, and to bodies of be- lievers who wished to hold tho Hebrew or the Christian doctrine of a God who is Father to all men. If I wished to add more to this point I need only recall the religious persecution that we. have seen during the last few months as it was directed against Roman Catholic and Protestant clergy in some parts of Europe.

“Might we not apply this thought to our attitude towards Communism? Must we not make him who is inclined to accept comuilistic propaganda see that. our own democratic way of life has more to offer him than has his new found philosophy? Let us go ‘all out’ in our attempt to make genuine democracy work.

"Then, too. I hope that. your at- titude towards tile society in which you are llUW going to take your place, will include as a corollary to this idea of freedom for the individual, the principle that lllP rule pf lauv is the basis on which a democratic society is organized. Even the government. itself is subordinate to the law as outlined in our Constitution, its powers are limited by law. even to its term of office there is an appointed end. In order that there may be this rule of law, the minority. though having always the. right. but lack- ing sometimes the ability to ex- press itseif, must be subject to the will of the maivrltl"

Place 0f Leaders

"Now into ihls bewildered world and I trust with the attitudes I have been-suggesting you are go- ing to take your place, and. your place should be the place of lead- ers. In fact, as I see it, the hzgiitr purpose of your years in College has been that you nllgilt be pre- pared to supply just such leader- ship.

"About one hundred years

colleges and Universities were be-

ing estabiisned throughout. their Maritime Provinces that young men, and also, but. somewhat later, young women, might have the opportunity of spending some

year; 1n the pursuit of truth, and

that at the end of that period of training they might go out to provide adequate leadership in the communities to which they might return.
