Every strata of society, is
seriously affected by the critical
conditions that 'prevail in our
World. "The Very foundations of
our social, life Amin to be
shaken; the total establishment
of our civilization seems to be
toppling. The joints of the
carefully constructed edifice we
call our cothmon life seems to be
loosening and . we are con-
3ciously• or unconsciously
bracing ourselves for the

In his inaugural address in
1969 President Nixon said, "The
\4alaise of the world is rooted in

an come nly in the realm of
the spirit." ttempts at correc-
