We let our cl1ildren run wild, be– cause some modem phychologist tells us they ought to be permitted to ''ex– press themselves"; and then when they reach teen age we wonder why we ha,,e so many juvenile delinquents -and we have to send them to cor– rectional institutions, or the army, to restrain them. We spend our health getting riches, and when riches are won, we spend our wealth trying to regain our dissipated health. We fight to get higher and higher wages-and every time wages go up the cost of living advances- but at least we seem to enjoy the merry– go-round, even if it doesn't get us anywhere. When the bubble bursts, we'll wake up, sadder but wiser– we hope. We drive like mad to save time– have an accident, and spend three months in the hospital, wasting time. We hang on the elevator bell , won– dering why the elevator pilot is so everlastingly slow, then kill a half hour in idle talk. We boast about our progress , our modern science-then use it on the battlefields to kill millions. We boast about our modern edu– cation- but neglect the moral train– ing of our youth, and today we are faced with moral bankruptcy; dope, crime, cheating, drink, unbelief, are rampant. We fight Con1munism abroad, and at home we permit communistic ide– oJogy to infiJtrate our social structure. reatures of e te1nity, we live only for time and this present world, giving scarcely a passing thought to GOD, IIRIST, the SAI.JVA,.fIO OF OUR SOULS and ETER.L ITY ,.fO COME.
