London; Ont., Feb. 23, 1943
Editor Clinton News -Record:
Dear Sir:
For a. long time, groups of men
and women catching the vision of a
world• of great :possibilities - have
tried to build on the teachings •of
Christ. The natural man cries "grab"
"push" "get' ahead", "trample down
the weak." and there are not em.
ough enlightened.and-courageous • men
and women to sway, the beastly in-
stincts, it seems, and lift mankind
to its true standard.
At the end' of the other war, we
felt, I think, that.. peace would come
without much effort on our part, and
we slumped and let' the ideals fade
out. Are we wiser now? Are we
really greatly concerned for a world
that must go air after we die, or are
we selfish enough to think, "well
I've done my bit."
That isn't the •Christian, spirit. The
children of today or tomorrow' have
not asked to be' born, they have to
inherit the world; that others have
fashioned, They are wistful -eyed to my
way of thinking,. we can't "let them
down" if its possible to save diem
from worse than, we have known. We
have seen demonstrated the way of
men to whom Christian ways of life
are mere nonsense. •
Do We want to see our land in the
grip of ,such devastating ideas? If
ot, we've got tb.be more . than mere
church -goers, ibore' than jab par-
roting what we've heard, more than'
reneateis Of platitudes, more than
gesturing robots, we've got to stand
tall, .think high, and:do right. 'sloth..
rlig narrow or personal is good en -
ugh for life today. We've got to live
as, world -citizens; and think world -
Wide thoughts. Can we? We dare not
do otherwise if we are fit for the test,
M this is our judgment day (as I
elieve) •- for judgment days cone
ften, and we must not be "found
wanting."
