pertinent facts in his speeches,
chose "The Age of Automation”
as his subject. Reviewing the pro
gressive ages through which
mankind had emerged into pres

the speaker cited man's failure to
keep pace with scientific pro

spiritual development, as the
fundamental cause of the world’s
inability to channel its vast po

prejudice and selfishness, in the
achievement of world peace. In
conclusion he stated that this
frantically sought for peace
would be achieved only when
the world allowed the two rules
laid down for its achievement
by the wisest of all Teachers,
nearly two thousand years ago—
" Love The Lord, Thy God” and
“Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself”.
