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?
