Talk Is important. OnIy through wcords can a problern be stated and solved. But talk should lead to action. Words with- out deeds are impotent For those who talce the ideal of Brotherhood seriously, a Christian par- able points out their duty. When Christ the King cornes te judge the world, he praisca the blessed because they helped hum when he was hungry, nakcd, sick and in prison. Thcy wanted to know when they had donc no. He apswred, "Inasmuchi as y. have done it unto the least of these my brethrcn, ye have donc it unto me." In other words, Brother- hood, la if anything, a way of action. Groucho Mar, the comedian, in a rare moment of unsniiling acriausaass understated the case for Brotherhood: "Today yau arc betting your lfe on this country you live in. If we want ta win the prize of national strength and security we've got ta work togeth- er. Let's respect each other's race and colour and creed. Let's make Brother- hood Week, Feb. 21 - 28 last ail year.» If we could make Brotherhood Week lait for ane day, if ail of us truly practised for 24 hours the ideal we say we believe, the world would lisec thc greatest and best revolution in the history of mankind. &Ioung 4000" Iman 's (3olmn tip-in oea i ut of mertal ed as in unz«enerate i hands ltogeter-or la real- Maybe se, but I fanl to su ly affected by Divine force. anything wrong in My refu- Then, why do they make a sal to do wmçthing that was mCokr f the very religion only a matteir of form whlohthey espouse? least, I was consiatent iC lk Once, I was requested te is more than van b. sald f«io, asic the blessing at a meal, borne of the types under dWs and when I declined, was rat- cussion i t.h1 article. otetters to tlhe &iitor C.., e I s ~* The Grits read the.
