With modern travel, we have come to consider distances with much less awe than our forefathers. We are able, matter-offactly, to pick up a telephone and,/talk with someone in a far distant land, Our world is not so small. It is huge and it is complex. We have made for ourselves many once-unconsidered gadgets and ^conveniences and they have wrongfully become, in many instances, the master rather than the servant. And, with it all, we have made precious little progress in one of the most important areas of our earthly existence -- human relations --; man's relations with his fellow man. We are often suspicious of our neighbor if he is in any way different than we. Among nations, there is also, for the most part, eternal suspicion and distrust . . . and very little attempt at real understanding. Our world should be a better world. It can be. As individuals, we cannot do a lot toward solving the problems of the whole world. But, we can do a little. We can do it by contributing in some measure to making better that small part of the world in which we livfc. Even a small act of kindness may spread more joy than one can imagine.
