cussion Group was organized in

forniation about affairs which
either directly or indirectly affect
all our daily lives," Seymour

plained; "Our membership feels
that only through an enlightened
public opinion will democracy
maintain itself.

ternational affairs, discussed Rus-
sian American relations and But-

community. The next meeting
wilt be held at 9 p.m. Wednesday,

Series on Brotherhood

three Biblical stories, will be
presented on the Eternal Light,

The trilogy, interpreting t h e
stories Of "Cain and Abel," "Ja-
cob and Esau," and "Joseph and

forces of hatred and jealousy

Esau," the two ,brothers are able
to compromise their differences.
Not until "Joseph and Benjamin"
is the ideal of man's love for
his brother realized in broader
human relationships.
