Dear Doctor Jordan : 



On this Seventieth Anniversary of your Birth your Friends 

 in the Office of The Call wish to Assure you of their 



Birthday Greetings: 



The time will surely come when men will look back and won- 

 der — not wholly able to understand the blindness of the age 

 in which you lived. In the most desperate period of the world's 

 history you had the courage to believe that men, deep in their 

 hearts, really wanted most what they seemed to want least. 

 While the world was at war you continued to have faith in the 

 blessing and wisdom of peace. 



Learned scholar, understanding teacher, brave idealist, you 

 were of the small and suffering band of men who labored to 

 keep humanity a little above the level of the beast, while all 

 their fellows sank deeper and deeper into madness. 



You might have struck your banners — with apparent honor; 

 you chose to fight onward — to apparent defeat. And so, on 

 the Seventieth anniversary of your birth, you may truthfully 

 look back on your life and know that you have made of it a 

 lasting and inspiring success. Most men have more claim on 

 reverence at birth than at any other moment in their lives. It 

 is part of your strength that on this day, when you span the 

 allotted threescore years and ten, you are more deserving than 

 ever of the love and reverence of your friends, who in their 

 own selfishness wish for you many more years of life.
