Friday, April 5. Mr. Seigler talked about the "Aspects of Current American Thought." "The attitude of defeatism is too dominant in Americans," he said.

Ile said that Ameri cans are too devoted to material things and should try to get away from this. Individuals are too skep lical about their faith, causing a lack of this in almost everything they are associated witih.
