“Are we told, what seems to be true, that the spiritual and moral lamps of the world are burning lower and dimmer than for many a day? Are we told that the spiritual riches accumulated through the ages by mankind are likely to be destroyed?”

“The world seems to be at the parting of the ways today. More and more men and nations divide into two groups. On the one side are those who recognize no authority, no guidance, no control, no inspiration save that of their own desires and their own purposes and ambitions. Man himself is the law unto himself. On the other side are those who, however they may fail to live up to it, recognize a higher law and a higher order than man himself.”
