express our thanks. But there. are
three which I wish you to consider
with me. And I have selected these
three because they have been a matter
to many wellmeaning people.

thankful for the World War? There
are. many who will declare it impossi:
ble to see anything in this. the great-

'thankful. They will at once think of
the. terrible economic loss—a loss so
great that no expert can ever com
pute it. But this is, perhaps, scarcely
worth considering when we think of
the loss in human life and the attend-
ant loss to science. and art and educa.
