Show .... -vt.- .... SERMONETTE The present situation was caused by a deep seated malady mala-dy of willful forgctfulness of God. Slums, crime, vice and war arc here not because man is depraved We were fooled inlo neglecting the Golden Rule and the worship of God.... Religious indifference and moral deterioration have corroded o ir sense of beauty, mocked our ideals, depleted our hopes, softener! our fiber and robbed us of our high honors. Van has wooed and won a world but has fallen veary. Moses did not stop at Mount Sinai; he turned to the Promised Land. We too are young, as a country and in the spirit of youth. We can face the future with hope, for the pioneer days of mankind man-kind do not rest in the past and hatred and fear will be van-i van-i quished to build a better world. , Rev. Dr. Teunis E. Gouwens. |
