Apparently we would rather do things the devil's way than the Lord's way. It seems that, rather than fast and pray, we prefer to gorge ourselves at the banquet tables and drink cocktails. Instead of disciplining ourselves, we yield to physical urges and carnal desires. Too many of our wives and mothers prefer the added luxuries of two incomes to the satisfactions of seeing children grow up in the fear and love of God. We golf and boat and hunt and fish and watch sports rather than solemnize the Sabbath.
Total morality is found neither among the people nor among the leaders of the state and nation.
Personal interests and ulterior motives block the way. The masses of the people are perhaps much like those who escaped destruction in the ancient days of this continent. Thus, as a nation we continue in our godlessness. While the iron curtains fall and thicken we eat, drink, and make merry. While armies are marshalled and march and drill and officers teach men how to kill, we continue to drink and carouse as usual.
