SOCIAL JUSTICE SESSIONS
e Sir-Bigotry, the greatest curse of humanity, is sadly evident in the letter of your correspondent "Rationalist." Although I, personally, am convinced that social justice appeals will always go unheeded by the majority, I also feel that the commentators of these sessions (especially the Rev. J. Calder) are to be applauded for their fearless statements. In this world with its stage being set for the final struggle between the two destructive extremes, very few voices advocating the middle path of sanity and salvation are to be heard, and these are, therefore, extremely refreshing to all who possess the ability and intelli-° gence to think past the narrow boundaries of hatred and intolerance. "Rationalist" unwittingly spoke the truth when he asserted that the Marxists and Atheists have their recipes for thé world’s evils-ample proof of this is being enacted every day on our waters fronts, in the slow strangulation of our productive capacity, in the profligacy of the rising generations, Beliefs born of frustration will never serve any other cause but just that. However, I agree with "Rationalist" that they should be given the freedom of the air; a surfeit of their perverted doctrines would ‘not only be the awakening of the public it would be humanity’s salvation. :
