Perhaps the only feature Of
today's world on which men
of all persuasions could agree
is the fact of its bewildering
insecurity. There are no
lImger, apparently. any hard
and fast values, standards, or
measurements. Men and insti-
tutions are changing so rapidly
and so radically that pre-
dictions are risky, and plan
ming almost impossible.
The philosophers could epec-
ulate learnedly for years on
this unhappy situation. But
even while they were specu-
lating, they would discover
hat The premises on which
they had begun their think
ing had altered beyond recog-
milton before they arrived at
an educated guess.
Most OF mankind. despite our
built-in restlessness and dis
satisfactions, really longs for
stability. Any man likes to
know where he is and where
he is going; he Graves the
feeling of belonging, of being
a part OF a scene familiar and
reliable. He likes to think that
the institutions of his society
are basically right and sound,
and that they will not change
in his lifetime enough to upset
his way of life.
But today, a materialistic
world has managed to achieve
a shattered society, even while
the parts of that society, the
essentials like better health
and productivity, travel and
accomplishment, have been
taking giant strides forward.
Man has been energetically
finding better ways to live, and
in the doing has lost to a great
extent his reason for doing it..

one illustration of the unde-

Materialism, brought to its
most dangerous pitch by the
built-in brutalities of COM
munism, has done most of the
wrecking of the old world sta
bility. Materialism has de-
stroyed gods and goals, has
shattered faith, has laughed
at moral values and spiritual

ism as a way of life has been
supreme to the Communists
and their philosophical fellow
travellers, it has not been their
own exclusive possession.
The FasciSts and Nazis en-
braced it. too. for their own
ends. But so have we all, in a
measure. Even the institutions

the basis for the worship of

man must slay his neighbor
first, lest his neighbor beat
him to the draw.
Only in the free world can
be found today acceptance of
even the possibility that naked
materialism is destructive for
mankind. Thus the future, if
there is to be one. depends
on freedoms survival.

no longer any reason why he

Fifty years ago the world was
very nearly the same as it was
centuries earlier. But in the
last so years everything has
been radically altered. Empires
have vanished while kings and
queens have lost meaning ex-
cept as anachronisms, or as
desirable cards in a bridge or

loss of old values and old

The explanation is adequate,
but only in a normal world.
The reason it is not adequate
