type of peace that will last.
And we are looking to Ameri-
ca for that leadership I'VE
Americans know that this is
true. But we also should rea-
LIE that unless the leadership

Christian leadership America
will fail. Before the world can

What are we doing about pro-
ducing Christian leadership
for the peace Of the world?
The place to begin is with our
selves. Unless we are convert

not expect our leaders to be
Christian either. Unless Jesus
Christ is the vital center of

His Cross takes hold of us; I'M
