Only Hope — God's

"Although mankind is
endowed with an
inherited sense of op-
timism about the future,"
Jones said, "events in
recent years have
strongly influenced the
outlook on the' part of the
masses so that their
optimism is waning."
Quoting a Harris
survey, Jones said the
vast majority, of people
want CO see a decline in
' violence, but 67 percent
interviewed indicated
they do not expect to see
it in their lifetime.
"But is this not just
-another example of
continuing to Mope
against hope?" Jones
asked-. "Should men 'not
rather awaken to the fact
that the evils of the world
cannot be cured simply
by human legislation?"
Jones stressed that
trusting in human
governments has led
mankind to ,,one ' disap-
pointment after another.'

You
You need the stabilizing power of a final authority. The
problem of unrest and rebellion among the youth of
our land and most western nations is caused by the
relection of all authority.
The Bible teaches that all authority tames from God.
He is the ultimate Authority. He is King of the world.
During the last century or so the common man believed
in God and His authority. He ever, a large number. of
religious leaders began to d : ny the iinspirafion of the
Scriptures and to reject the ew Testament •teachings.
in our day this attitude has altered down to the level
of the common man. He has st aside the scriptures as
the guide for His conduct and has no set ' code of
moralify and will do almes anything that'wllll further
his selfish interests.
The result is moral chaos ith crime of every sort in-
creasing. The Bible predict such conditions "In the last
days perilous times shall • me. For men shall bg lovers
of their own selves. covet ' us, boasters, proud...f'_Read,
II 'timothy 3/1.5.
The result of such Gond ct will be certain f'udgment.
