LEON R. MEADOWS You are living in the most interesting age of the world ' s history. Changes ore taking place so rapidly that one finds it difficult to moke the necessary adjustments. Traditions are shattered and new customs are substituted; old idols are torn down only to have rise in their places different and, we trust, better objectives for venera- tion; hero worship disappears; heroism lingers. Change is the law of life — it is one law that never alters. This being true, certain observations are pertinent; Poise is essential to success in this revolutionary period, a proper sense of values will enable one to eliminate much that is useless; personal effort is necessary for the accomplishment of anything that is worth while; intelligence and reason should replace ignorance and emotion; character is the basis of everything that endures; spiritual power is the most dynamic influence in the universe; each individual is master of his own destiny.
