hope for a better world A titled lady from Britain highlighted the week by calling on religious people everywhere to solve " The Enmities Among Nations " by hope, humanity, and compassion, and by reaching out to the human substance in every human being. Speaking at a University-wide cop/ vocation, Barbara Ward (Lady Jackson), distinguished author, lecturer, and commentator on world affairs, cited the original Christian and Hebrew concepts of rational understanding as the key to peace in the world. " Enmities have lasted since earliest days, and are the continuing theme of history, " she said, " because some people just adore bashing. But, today we have a genuine world society where if you throw a bomb in your neighbors back yard, you blow up too! That fact really makes a world neighborhood. " We are all pilgrims—aboard a space ship, an envelope of earth—hurling through the said Miss Ward. " Can we really prevent someone from destroying our space ship? " The road to peace can be paved by bridging the gap between the rich and the impoverished nations of the world, she said, and by ending the parochial belief that the color of a man ' s skin has some bearing on his station in life. " Perhaps it would he a good idea if people dro pped the notion that their skin is white and referred to themselves as ' pinky gray ' , " she declared. " Let us go back to man himself, let us believe that life itself is really worthwhile, let us reassert hope and reassert humanity—for a better world. " 123
