raiisrd tin- growth and d'Y<'l<>pmrnt ni' man's spiritual, 

 mental, and moral nature. 



Human natun- is to-day essentially the same as it was 

 thousands of years ago. The great achievements of mod- 

 ern man are int. llrctual and dependent upon accumulated 

 stores of information and knowledge. They are not 

 moral attainments. The thin veneer of civilization is tin 

 charitable cloak which covers nnn-li l>rntalit\ -, deceit, and 

 egotism, and no little hypocrisy, which often serves pleas- 

 antly to beguile the dead monotony of dissimulation.
