As® a matter of fact, this story might profitably have been written, .and might well be read, by any man who has made h‘s way in the world, because of the fine character of Hirâ€" am Johnson and his determination to take* advantage . of everything cameâ€"his way and which might help bhiin.to. improve himsel{.

All who would join him would learn that they have no nationâ€" ality and, therefore, not being both- cred by any special interest in any one country everyone would develop what ho beheves to be a completely ‘coâ€"opâ€" crative feeling among allâ€"peoples. and a willingness to accept any laws passâ€" cu by this super government. ‘Those of us who have watched the present trend of thinking in the world as a whole know by experience how cifficult it is to stxmulate any interâ€" est in problems outside our own bailâ€" iwick and our own home probelmis.
