Show THIS NATION AND WORLD MARCHING TO HIGHER DESTINY Those who are so inclined may hate and malign the government as much and as long as they please, but they can no more prevent the changes and the destiny of the United States than King Canute could sweep back the ocean with a broom. The time of change is here, has been for some time. The changing process is painful and slow but it is on the way. The evils of the old competitive system, the wrongs of individualism, the tyrannies of capitalism, autocracy and imperialism, and the faults of democracy are being forced out of the world's life never to return. Cooperation and collective effort will and must be the order of the future. Men cannot properly build upon the world-wide ruin under any other system. People must begin to read and think of the better world which cannot come unless it is first visioned. It must be built by the combined powers of a new knowledge, a better wisdom, and a brotherly love. Minds and hearts must be opened to the promises of the prophets and the dreams of the humanitarians. Minds that see nothing in the four freedoms but what befits a prisoner, will be worse than dead timber to the builders. Men and women must learn to use their divinely-given powers to create the kind of world and the kind of life that there should be for creatures made in the image of God and who are on the way to divine destinies. |
