James Austin Rich- ards' third Lenten lecture, the obverse of the thought, "Helping Others." To help others is a matter of under- standing others, Rev. Richards stated, and we can only understand others by understanding ourselves. We must honestly face ourselves--paradoxically --"to know yourself you must get away from yourself." To use psychology merely for deeper introspection is bad; to stop with psy- chology is worse, he said. One can help oneself by going out and attach- ing his affections to something outside of and greater than himself. This, he explained, is where religion helps and is really necessary to psychology. Nor must we use our knowledge of ourselves, or our knowledge of psychology as a "moral snooper." To help another we must neither judge nor blame. Nor can one "break in" another's life or confidence. Though one must not condemn, neither must he sentimentalize and simply try to make a person comfortable, he said. To sympathize is necessary, to under- stand is fundamental, but to condone and develop self-pity is harmful. Sympathy and understanding must be constructive. The attitude must be "What shall we do about this fault, this habit?" Concluding, Mr. Richards compared the individual and his psychology to society and pointed out notable parallels. Repression exhibits itself in society's recent attitudes toward free speech. Our social ignorance parallels our willingness to look at ourselves. Society too, should attach its interest to something higher and beyond, he asserted. Instead of decrying the cost of warships, attach this idea to what the same amount of money would pro- vide in the way of college or educa- tional development. Develop some of the achievements and glories of peace. A new ideal of service is the greatest help toward peace and the great truth that "there is no salvation outside reality." As we learn the art of transference, we must learn to transfer beyond the earthly helper to the greater help to the best--the Kingdom of God. No lecture will be given March 13 but on March 20 they will be resumed. DR. W. H. McLEAN DIES Funeral services for Dr. William H.
