THE OWL 117 Willing to have it Work out Within a certain radius, With- in a certain circle of friends. But remember, if you would achieve true greatness you must have a Inagnanimous spirit toward all men. Fosdick says, No man isi the Whole of himself, his friends are the rest of him. Too often We live our lives in the spirit which is ex- pressed in the little verse. I thought the house across the way Wfxs empty, but since yesterday CJ-ape on the door makes me aware That some one has been living there. Love is the fundamental need of the World. But love is never adequately understood if it is made merely to ex- tend to congenial intimacies. Love is an expansive spirit that overthrows all those ugly vices such as jealousy and prejudice and will rather take in all enemies as friends. Love embraces in a friendly Way all rivals. It seeks the good of all. It erases all barriers of class and race distinction. Love rises triumphant over all. God is Love, and they who would be like Him, they Who Would dwell with Hina must emulate that love. May God grant that your efforts which you have ex- pended, in securing this better chance in life may not be Wasted but that you too through love, may find, peace, security and happiness.
