Un- sent from the the methods world all, hearts of men, albeit of bringing the new are not agreed upon by It is equally beyond question that about system of social and political order depends for its consummation upon definite changes in the attitude of men toward such problems, and consequent- ly toward each other. Thus there is stinctively, a new attitude, or at least a fresh impetus, toward a whole host of ideals, which, in what has been de- nominated the canker of a loug peace, found no effective place, Not a bit of this, however, can af- fect the objective side of the situation, for the simple reason that no faith, however robust, can of itself make a truth of the thing believed in.
