The first alarm came, of course, with the struggle over Berlin. The menace of Rus- sian aggression suddenly became the theme of the day and we, who read the daily papers, feared that war was imminent. But Berlin and the cold war are now things of the past. The theme of Russian aggression has terrorized and spurred us on to a produc- tive peak that rises above that we estab- lished during the last war. With this threat: and fear of Russian imperialism as an ugly background, the newspapers have played up every interna- tional event as a major crisis in the affairs of men. They have been gratuitously aided in this by our "human weakness for publicity, and the sensational. 'Another alarin came with the disput in Iran.

Let's check these false alarms more care- fully than we have been doing in jhe past. IS BEAUTY TRUTH The headmaster of Rugby School, P. H. B. Lyon, says in one of his recent books that, "What goes on in the world that really matters is not what goes on in the visible world but what happens in the soul of man." [Iurthermore, Mr. Lyon claims that this is a truth which all men know, but, like so many other truths it is ignored, What Mr. Lyon does not point out is that s0 many of us are so concerned with what is going on in the visible world that we for- And to the extent that we deny the soul so do we deny life, IFor without a sense or awareness of life "and vitality. within the soul, your life is poor in spite of riches and sickly in Api ~ of physical health. Mr. Lyon believes that the soul is en- gaged in a quest for beauty ; ; beauty in the physical world, the world of our homes and our streets. and out cities; beauty in our tools, in our means of 'transportation ; beauty in our words and {nh our thoughts; beauty in the way we live, "For hin there is nothing soft or easy about this--rather is it the stern necessity of life Jools which _imposes the task. "Set yourself against ugliness in what you say and think 'and do," he admonishes men. Only thus can your life be full and your happiness complete." The Headmaster of Rugby has an inter- esting and challenging interpretation for Christ's The Kingdom of Heaven is within you" . it is this .-. . Simply set your face against ugliness!
