When one views the throbbing life of a metropolitan city, he instinctively queries. What is t h e meaning of it all? Why the rush, and strain? What li a l l t h e w o r l d seeking? Is there a * common purpose directing human energy? What is humanity's most ardent desire? Perhaps the answer could be given1 in a single word, Conquest. Those responsible for the comforts and the necessities of others must succeed in their respective vocations or their dependents fall by the wayside in the stern competitive life of our day. Business is a game of conquest in which the fittest survive. In this game some will be able to conquer, others will fail. The results seem to be divided equally. Where one wins, another loses. The desire for conquest is, nevertheless, instinctive. Self-preservation demands it. Even the animal of the forest will risk all hazards in order to obtain food for its hungry offspring. Conquest of physical forces is essential to life. In the scientific world men and women sacrificially strive to. gain Conquest over hitherto unknown cosmic forces. As a result we possess creature comforts of which our fathers never dreamed. The average span of life has been greatly prolonged because of the results of research laboratories. The driving purpose was altruistic service and not the acquisition of power and fame. * The spirit which ultimately conquers in any struggle, be it for physical necessities, intellectual hunger vfor truth, or the self-expression of personality, is never force. Milton wrote, "Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe." Force has never been able to claim a complete victory. Ihe spirit of war, whicl| is brute force scientifically directed, never won t battle. T Force maJSt&ive with impelling power, but wins no ultimate conquests. Napoleon covered Europe with blood and tears but died in exile in St. Helena. In striking contrast, little children cried when William, the prince of Orange, died. "She Stoops to Conquer" contains some fine philosophy. Ultimate conquest is always the product of the sense of humility sufficiently genuine to be willing to suffer. Nearly two thousand years ago in a little oriental town, Bethlehem, the Man of Galilee was born. The majority of the occidental world today, in some form or another, acknowledges that he still wields a power greater than any in history. In spite of differences of opinions as to creedal definitions, all are in agreement that this power came not by force but by love. His conquest is nowhere better attested historically than in the death-bed acclamation of the old Roman emperor who said, "O Galilean, Thou hast conquered." • Western Newspaper Uaioau My Neighbor SAYS: It is not necessary to peel early rhubarb before cooking.
