3. Scientific discovery, industrial de velopment, commercial expansion. There are many thousands of new discoveries, brought to light by the War, which will be available as soon as the war is ended. There are many who believe that these discoveries and

NOVEMBER 7, 1943 FOUNDATIONS FOR ENDURING PEACE Z echajiah 2:1-5 By H. Lewis Coates Preparation
Magazines are full of advertisements picturing “the world of tomorrow.” Paste several of these on a poster and ¿raw over them a large question mark. At the top, place an invitation to come to Christian Endeavor, and at the bot tom put the question, “What are the Foundations for Enduring Peace?” For Those Who Have Topics I.

Education and the spread of the democratic ideal. Popular education has accomplished great things in recent centuries. Democ racy is a natural outgrowth of free and popular education. However, here in our own country where education and democracy have had unrivalled opportunities, they h a v e not yet brought our nation tq a place of right
