Never a NObIer Period.
It is foolish to assert that there is
any lack of spirituality in our time.
There has never been a nobler period
of Christian endeavor in history. We
are building magnificent churches and
several cathedrals worthy to compare
with the venerable ones of Europe, and
all built with voluntary contributions.
Never was there time when so much
effort of a charitable character was be-
ing exerted. We see this effort in the
hospitals, in organizations for the re-
lief of the destitute, in the great fra
ternal societies which are found through
out our country. There was probably
never time when so many real Chris
