‘The typical "modern man" 01 “u; day finds himself in a strange- contradictory and depressing 111111111011. l-Ils greatest yearning is for liberty—-perhaps at no tline in

history has "Liberty" been llie bugle-cry of s0 many 1111111011? in ~ 111 corners of the earth -a11c1 yet zl-iose few who have attained 1t

5v. some measure 11nd themselves zhrentenQd with personal isolation. they feel i1 loneliness that is the direct result of the very liberty ‘hey s0 zealously seek! ‘The kind ,1 liberty such 11 1111111 iviints seems to l111ve isolated 111m from God. 111s {allows and even from himself.

A: a geniune absolute in ltS own fight. that liberty ivill cuulltcnarce not the slightest interference. it is 1, liberty that‘ 1111s i1rzetl1i111111u wesert God to live by himself inas- much as God seems, to represent 111i arder of morality and respoiisihilny 11m. seriously restricts his freedciu. l1 there is a God, he reawin .

Actually hi» isolation from Divine Life l5 becoming daily more and more complete.

But a further 21nd more SPFZOUS lonsequence soon btcoinrs evident. Tliat 50ft of liberty is obviously n11 "unfettered freedom. The only inter- usta limiting it are the inieres's of being free. In a won-l. it is -el'i h liberty. Such laivs 11nd values as it may initiate ivill uiidoiibtorllv ‘in directed, as indeed they are being llrHitEd. forwards the attriinni." t of tome personal good They will he rispired by self-love. A11 Olvte Irv»- dom and selfish love go hand in hand. That is one very good reason why me11 of today find 1t very liffieult to be real friends-for friendship is quite anothct‘ k "'1 11' lore.

You are a true friend to another when you do not want that per- 1on's slightest wish to g0 unfilled. Friendship is a love that. aims at realizing anotliers good and hap- piness. Indeed, a real friend-find- ng his happiness in auothcrk, as lie does-may even deem it an act. of unfriendliness if he is not allow- ed to enjoy that sclt sacrifice! For friendship is essentially unselfish.

ight)

111-av be free. Not only then, does 1ibsolute freedom cut the very roots of man's relations with God, it also severs the bonds of friend- ship he once enjoyed with his fel- low-men.

Do you want to test the validity of that conclusion’! Well. just ex- amine the prevailing modern atti- tude to Eiving and receiving gifts. Commcrciaiized Christmas-giving is based on 11 sense of obligation: people seem more and more inclin- ed to offer 11 gift to another simply because they anticipate receiving 1111c! Arid what :1 social disgrace not to fulfill ones contract by not YCLlI-Ylllnt: gilt for gift! 1111151 people. for that very reason, hate to receive 11 gift simply because it iiill rcuder them indebted to some- one else. 'i‘liey refuse io recognize that. that person might conceivably be sincerely desirous. and unselfish- l_v eager, to make them huirpv be- cause they themselves refuse to consider others in that light. Lack- ing a true spirit of Friendship. root- ed as it is in uriselfishneso and self-imposed restraint. they have no real conception of generosity- the simple giving of gifts 1s 1m. possible to them because every gift seems an instrument o1 en- slnieinent!

Uiifetti-red liberty succeed. then. iii erecting a ferce isolating man from man by dissolving the unsel- fish love that is the spirit of friend- ship.

Where friendship is lacking, social tasks must always be execut- ed in quite impersonal organizat- ions iviili the bartering-spirit of the market place prevalent through‘ out. Tliev will he e=sentlally selfish organizations with each member 11-01-11111: for his own he=t interests.

Anti '.\l1e1. that is the 131st‘. when everyniie exercises his freedom in his oivn interests rather than for

the welfare of others. impersonal checks and balances must be iet 11p by authorities ‘o restrain i11- tlividuul liberty. In short. author- ity appears on the scene to re- strict the liberty of men who re- fuse to restrain it themselves with bonds of friendship. The net result is the anomaly of free men se‘t.tng up automatic, mechanical social systems that threaten the very liberty that ii1splves theml Undet- ierefl liberty succeeds only in kil- ling the spirit o1 frlendshtpthat is the only guarantee of freedom. Having largelv discarded lahsez- faire in his busness dealings, mod- ern man clims trustlngly to it. as’ l principle of morality

Yes: The paradox of liberty as an absolute ideal is a strange one, indeed striving to excrete it in his moral life, 11111111 proves that he s0 loves. himself that he \vl1lnotal-.lo\v' God to love him! His love of liberty is so intense that 11o feels compell- ed to isolate himself even from his Maker. so sacred i0 him does that liberty become. that he even finds himself compelled to segregate ,.himself psycl1ologica1ly and socially

BIRDS‘ BALANCE

Correct balance is extremely 1111- portant. for an airplane, and so ue find that in this respect e bird is \\‘(‘ll equipped for flying and hind- lng. lts skill], of course. must nc as light as pOoS-llili‘; but tlic back rxirt is exceedingly big. because here lids most of the brain. 111- eludlng that section which deals with co-ordination of movement and balance, and takes up a {urge share of the space.

Suppose we use the well knoivn Pldgcon as our example. Its centre of gravity must be, and therefore ls. considerably in front of where the legs join the body. For this reason the heart: (ivhieh in birds is of necessity large and thick- walledl. liver. and gizzard fill most o! the space in the loner central auction. The great pectoral muscle that works the ‘wing is nearly a quarter of the weight of the whole Pidgeon: the pair uf muscles, there- tore. ubOilt one half. Conseclllelllli‘ these need to be attached in a mun- ner that not only allows them to manipulate the wing. but that suit- ably disposes of the heaiy burden. They are firmly fastened from the wish-bone in front. to the base of

the breast-bone below and the shoulder-blade behind. By the fusion o1 1 crtebrae. a

bird's back is kept rigid. ‘This is so that it. may have strong flight. and. when it comes to rest, be able to support itself upon its legs. when approching an object very rapidly (as a young one in the nest to be fed). the bird inust be able to aim absolutely, straight. 'l‘l1is means that it must have not only exceptional vision, but. perfcst muscular control.

Besides being a rudder, the Pige- ons tail is its elevator. 1.1 a curve is to be made in the air. the tail is tipped sideways; Vvlien landing is to take place, the toil is sudden- ly depressed.

Pershing birds (and this taker. in a. large percentagel require some means of keeping their balance when sitting on a horizontal branch. Their logs are therefore proiided with a tendon which automatically tightens as the knees and ankles bend. This tendon contracts the toes on the roost. causing them to grip it more firmly. The bird is held in place merely by sitting down, its own weight acting as a lever, tightening the muscles. It may safely sleep, even though rest- ing upon just one leg.
