on

Folly
of

delivered
by
Chaplain
Orvllle
P.
Hossie
of

in
speaking
before

Club
at

"The.

"There

should
never

Almcst

could
be

If

set
themselves
out
to
do
things.
Had,
this,

had

determined
and,
ultimately,
had

at

seemed

No
longer,
for
Instance,
could
it
be
said
that
what
happened
in
China
was
of
no

to
Canada.
Had
not
the
folly
of
isolationism
been
learned
as
a
result
of
the
apathy
over
Manchuria,
Ethiopia,
Spain?
The
speaker
then
extended
his
argument
against
isolationism
to
to
the
provinces
among
which
he
declared
there
must
be
greater
accord
If
a
"lot
of
trouble"
was
to
be
saved,
Isolationism
must
also
disappear
In
communities;
business
and
other
relationships.
It
was
becoming
increasingly
apparent
that
there
could
not
be
success
and
prosperity
among,
one
class
and
hardship
and
mis
ery
In

.
Speaking
of
cities,
the
speaker
declared
that
there
could
not
be
poor

juvenile
delinquency
in
one
section
without
it
being
felt
in
another,
no
matter
how
detached
the
sections
might
feel.

Padre
Hossie
asserted
there

of

So
often,
the
speaker
said,
did
people
want
Chrlstion
practices
and
righteousness
but
they
were
not
willing
to
do
anything
about
It

They
wanted

They
