RAINBRIDGE, OLIVER (?) FEB 23 1916

February 23/1916

Dear Mrs. Sewall

I have not received the book in which you refer but it you will send me another I shall be pleased to review it for you.

If is good to learn that the Ford Missions was not such a 'Frost' as the papers make out.

I am thoroughly convinced that he [?] would be so powerful and effective as International Colleges in the capitals of the leading countires for they would be the means of educating the coming generations to a right condition of thought which is an infinitely more powerful thing than all the armies of the world. Thought lies on the foundation of action and no structure of just deeds can ever be safely built unless the substration of just thought be sound and firm.

The organization of public opinion is the[?] task to which we must dedicate our energies for it is by this means alone that we can bring about the establishment among nations of a reign of law in such sense that each nation is subject to the law.

Governments only respond to public opinion which must be educated to grasp in it's details the problem with which it is dealing by a vigorous campaign paying particular attention to the psychology of the peoples.

Respectfully yours Oliver Rainbridge
