| 1940's political cartoon of Stalin going to church |
Who does not want to find the way toward a richer and more emancipated life? Look searchingly into the faces of your friends or of the crowds traveling beside you in the subway or suburban train or plane....
Alas, self-seeking and acquisitiveness are hardening almost all of us and sapping our lives of the precious values we once hoped for...Where is safety, where is shelter, where in such a world is there any impregnable stronghold?...
No unprejudiced thinker can believe that our ordered world is the product of pure chance. Order does not emerge out of chaos nor higher forms emerge from lower by pure chance....Unless God exists, nothing around us makes sense....
Underlying everything was Christ's unswerving and rock-foundationed sureness that this world is God's world...From it flow four fundamentals which seem to sum up the very heard of Christ's thought and teaching.
First, Absolute and serene knowledge that so long as we follow God the future cannot harm us...
Second, The impregnability of moral law...
Third, The absolute supremacy of the power of love and goodness...
Fourth, the brotherhood of all men.From The Reader's Digest, July 1948
