Spiritual Factors Of Civ
ilization Should Domii-
nate National Life
By Rev. DR.. EDWIN HEYL DELK,
Lutheran, Philadelphia

IIVILIZATION is at the cross
~ roads today. Europe will
have learned the lesson at the
end of the great war. 1t is ques-
ton whether we in the United
States will have seen the true issue
or, having seen it, commence to set
our house in order. Our leaders in
thought and commercial life must
bravely throw the weight of their
counsel and influence on the side of
the spiritual values. The movement
for preparedness is nearsighted and
futile unless the larger and more
SPIRITUAL FACTORS OF CIV
ILIzATION ARE MADE THE
DOMINANT AIM IN NATIONAL
SECURITY AND WORTH.
We must make the choice individ-
ually and as a nation between the
two antithetic ideals of an egoistic,
ruthless materialism and a just
Christian nationalism. America is
at the crossroads of civilization and |
does not know it. Which goal shall |
we choose?
WE NEED A GREAT POLITICAL
LEADER WHO PLACES JUSTICE,
AND LOVE ABOVE FORCE,
AND MERCHANDISE
