Shortly after the Nazis took possession of Austria they began to “purge” the national library in Vienna of every book which con tained any truths contrary to the “Aryan” doctrines of Naziism. One of the largest and most valuable The rich. youn«r ruler attracts us even as he did Jesus. Clean respectable, high-minded, he yet veamed for something better than his easy-going, conventional habit of life.

"He Remembered” v,sr ' * * TRUTH will prevail What defeated the conquerors of history and will defeat the con querors of the present time? There is only one answer. Truth, and phe reaction of the human spirit to elemental truth. Through all of the conquests by force, the sup pression of truth, the efforts of conquerors to instill false doctrines into the minds of their people, the IJght of truth has never been completely extinguished. Some spark has always remained burn ing, to burst into flame and set ihe world afire sooner or later. Men’s bodies can be conquered and kept in bondage by force Man’s spirit can never be im prisoned. The real conquerors in history are those who, by teach-, ing and example, have inspired men to seek for truth and to live by it rather than by force. The conquerors whose influence continues to prevail and grow are the great ones whose task it was to set the human spirit free, not to enslave it. * * * VIGILANCE .... for democracy None of the modem dictators began with force. They lured enough people into accepting their rule, by promising to free them from real or actual oppression, danger or distress. Once they had enough followers to back them up, they began, one by one, to curtail the liberties of the whole nation. Dictatorships come about by gradual and devious infringements upon individual rights, under the specious plea that only by sur- ciiaering meir rights*-can the people be saved from economic or Into his character that irresolu- ® mar replied that if the boo^s lion of will, that habit of choosing con ^ ormed to the teachings of the easier path which is so char- Moham med they were unnecessary, acteristic of the rich and well- since aU needed truth was con- favored.
