LIBERTIES LOST
FOR THE SAKE OF LIBERTY CIVILISATION'S RISE "As civilisation advances we lost the liberty, such as it was, of hitting our neighbours on the head when Ave are so incline*!; but we gain the liberty of travelling in peace along a road that is common to all," wrote Dr. Del isle Burns in "After War—. Peace." '''And always the store of unusual intelligence and emotions among tlio majority of men and women who do the work of the world is seeking new outlets in new institutions. "The difficulties which each generation has to face arc quite different from those of the 1 past; and tlio greater the difficulty the nobler the task of overcoming, it. "The one inexcusable reaction to evil is more of religious defeatism. "There is no 'failure of nerve' among the men who drive the trains o.r guide the plough; no 'failure ol nerve' among the women who cool? [he food and keep the house. Therefore, the best lesson education can (each is that to be learnt from tha endurance and the inextinguishable hopefulness of common folk. "Out of these, and not out of the dreams of the night which is the Past, may dawn the civilisation of new and better days!."
