Extract

In 1965 we see a world around us seemingly inharmonious and suffering from uncertainty in the regions of religions, politics, economics and culture. How different away back in 1908! Most people in those far off days had convictions and held them to be first principles.

They really did believe in the verity of the words of the hymn from which this phrase is quoted—“God made them high and lowly and ordered their estate.” People in 1908 saw nothing peculiar in holding such beliefs. This was the atmosphere in which the activities of the Society were being conducted and was largely the matrix of the thinking of its illustrious and inspired membership.
