Mr. David Yui gave a well-analyzed summary on Democracy, giving the first 10 fundamental principles, in which was recognized the right of each individual to equal opportunity, the moral responsibility of each individual to contribute to society, the social equality of men and women, and the necessity of true freedom of thought, speech, and action. He then indicated those things democracy must oppose, namely, autocracy, commercialism. Militarism, and immoral forces working against society. He showed the close relationship between Christianity and Democracy, in that the Chdistians have a certain purpose to apply their principles, and need united spirit to carry out this purpose. He recognized, too, that Confusionism has contributed something to the movement known as Democracy, but that Christianity has supplied its supreme principle—the Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man.
