not the captain OF the 276 persons
aboard, nor the centurion in
charge of the soldiers, but a pri-
soner, lowered above them all and
got them safe to shore.
The underlying principles of
PaulS act, said Rev. Odell, in
Guided the determination to save
every individual. That principle
underlies all groups, he pointed
out. So long as one person is in
secure, all others have a feeling
of insecurity. With one careless
driver in a city, all others there
are in danger.
"We cannot exist without this
principle existing with us. We are
bound together as a world" he
pointed out. ....
Brotherhood is the great prin-
ciple of humanity, he averred. 1--WE
are of one origin, one family, one
nature and all bound for the same
high destiny.
IF ever there was time when
a human being could say to him.
sell, 4 am bound to the whole
EARTH this is the time" he stated.
"No longer can we the United
States say we have oceans that
separate us from the rest Of the
world.
1--WE are all in the same boat.
christianity says stay with the
boat.
Nothing can happen to even a
small nation that does not send the
whole world aquiver that its des-
tiny may be DOOM"
Outlining the pagan conception
that every man can reach out and
take all hat he can get - even
more than he needs-while set
ting forth a philosophy to justify
his acts, he declared that the in
evitable end of this form of con-
duct is wreckage.
The church today is in exactly
the same position as Paul, if only
it believes and stands up and
gives its message, Rev. Odell af-
firmed. ......
There are no other principles
on which the world can be
brought from the depths except
the principles of the church-the
salvation of all people and of the
whole man and the fact of BROTH
erhood.
The methods of salvation of the
world are those of individual SAL
walton, repentance, confession of
sin and forgiveness of sin, he
pointed out. re-. .a..g
"That is the only message and
the church is the only one that
has it.
"We need what Christ's discip-
les received after his resurrection:
renewal of faith in God, in Scrip
ture, in ourselves, in humanity
and in the future.
"We will never 60 clear under.
For there will be some people,
somewhere, who, out of the
depths will see the stars and
pray"
