M1 to this day and age in which we are privileged to he living.it is essential forour personal as - well s well as our national well being that we people begin to recognize and believe in a new , kind of liberty. The ill-consi red selfishness 't�kt>I `p sistence ° upon `.`doing our .,own thirrg 1M6Stxng -the very fabric of our living. We are set- • - ting up an intolerable -emotional strain in our personal way -of - living as well.as the part that we take t doing our part beyond ourselves. , Whether we like it or not, we have to recognize that we are living, today in a totally inter- related world. Yet too often we fail to take seriously the words of the poet John Donne who said a long time ago: "No man is an island". When we think about this, we realize that in this kind of a world, there is no longer any room ..-for... the selfish . eat,. elusiveness "'of "Doing our own thing". We, are all bound , "buItdle"-oftife�' and the sooner, all classes and ages in our society learn and think of this. truth the better it is .going to be for us all. Now; all of e`this involves our .seeing and accepting a new kind • of liberty - a liberty ' that 'is based not upon pleasing our- - selves; but one that •.goes far beyond the unrestrained idea of "I'll do just what I please and forget the consequences to anyone else". This is the at- titude that is turning our order ' into chaos and' the restraint that We ihouid be . exercising 'into; reaction; and as a result we see Violence 4 i a.tl' 04 of 4v , +;•v a• nd intriguing words ... "for all things are yours..... and you are Christ's" comes the expression of. the true credentials of a • liberty that is worth having and worth keeping' ... a liberty that acknowledges the very first needs 'of being mastered by the highest and richest loyalties. This then .emphasizes riot rights alone, but , duties, not just .privileges alone, but respon- sibilities. It is within this circle that there lies the chronic illness of our society and world today. Does this not grow and continue to spread from the great. lack of ' the desire to assume our respon- sibilities? This I fear, we find in all age groups, individuals who long" to do as they please, pressure ' groups, 'selfish economic' interests, and in all' , those who want "To do their own thing". Perhaps it is time then that we begin to Listen more closely to Paul. In his dad' there was. no greater exponent and preacher of freedom.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek,' there is neither ¢bond nor free, there is neither finale nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." To the Corin- thians he wrote: "All things are yours" - and that certainly sounds like a rallying cry for liberty. No cramping' bonds, no inhibitions, no fears! All things 'are yours, whether Paul or Apollos, or the world, or life or death, or things present or things to come, all, are yours" said . the Apostle. But I 'think' the significant thing to ti,s is that he did not stop there.. I wonder why? Because Paul 'was, awake enough to know .that liberty can never last very -long or be. of much influence upon life based , solely ' upon the things we possess :... on unlimited privileges. So ,we find him con- cluding his, great passage with the words: "Alt are yours, and you 'are Christ's, and Christ is God's".
