The cost of has written me recently recalling following Jesus is the gift of himself Horace Greeley’s observation that, "no Bible reading nation ever be comes mentally or socially enslav ed.’’ Hitler's Germany was not Bible reading nor is Stalin’s Russia. Nor, I’m sorry to say is America to day. We all, German, Russian or American, become spiritually empty, dried up at times, and need to go to the living fount—to reestablish contact with life giving forces. Real living has direction.-^spiritual di-j- rection. It is not aimless, haphazard, fatalistic or “come-what-may”. Germans have been taught for generations to expect at least two wars in each lifetime. We have a generation in America which was born into one war and has just fought in another. It reads ‘and 1 hears everyday of still another to come. Part of this generation asks, hopelessly, “What is the use of .try ing to improve our society for our selves and others if it’s to be blown to bits next year?" This question .breeds materialism and results in! loss of courage and faith. What Is Needed? Courage and faith are the qualities! which will enable us to snatch vie-! tory out of impending defeat and!’ help us to build a new world. Faith ’ is a possible reality only for those 1 who live in something else besides; a physical or even a mental, rea-| soning world. Faith is a reality for those who believe that our Creator [ meant all evalution to be an evo-l lution toward good.' It is a reality | for those who believe that the core : of each man, that part of him that responds to kindness, forgiveness,,: and selfishness, is the sanest part 1 of his being. That is the part which l today needs to be fed and nourished! most. America eats hard, drinks hard, and pla^s hard. When it isn’t mark ing, it is apt to waste on entertain ment and consume millions of dol lars worth of liquor—“to forget it-' self; to forget it’s troubles". What| we should be feeding is the spirit-1 part of man in order that real per-1 sonality may develop. We speak' glibly of how, in our evolution, the cold made us develop fuel and cloth ing, and the darkness spurned us on' to discover the laws governing light. But we know all this exciting dis covery and development is just as possible in the human personality. It is time to give up working only for material enejs. We should start to awaken, nourish aid develop the only part of us that gives our ex istence meaning. How To Tap Resources How are we to tap these hidden but most valuable resources? Only through solitude, meditation, prayer and serious thinking about the long- range direction of our lives can we be truly successful. It is said that he who rises from prayer a better man has had his prayer answered. Isn't that what we need in. the world. — better men? The definition of the word ‘‘com mon'’, in my dictionary, run like this: "implies the lack of distin guishing, conspicuous or exceptional qualities; it frequently connotes in ferior, plebian or cheap.” De we really *want to "be common men.”. Or have most Americans in their hearts the desire to be uncommon?
