The evidence is unacceptable. We need now to act. When
will America begin to fight the theological war and make
Moral Re-Arnament her national policy?
Washington, clean, straight, and God-directed would
be an invincible force leading mankind to its destiny.
The urgent need is for patriots Democrat and Re-
publican, labor and management, black and white, young
and old -who will put right what is wrong in their own
lives and in the life of the nation. Such men will take on
the task of arming America with her true theology.
It means absolute standards Of honesty, purity, un.
selfshness and love, applied d~rastically, personally and ma
tionally. It means men accepting the guidance of God.
Definite, accurate, adequate information can come from the
listen and obey. 1t is the new dimension of craftsmanship.

IT don't want our sons, especially our fighting sons, to
go about without an answer. It simply enslaves them.
It is not good enough. It will drive them to the same
philosophy that rules our opponents. We shall never create
an inspired democracy that way. Men must learn to have
a faith that will create the right revolution. If we can
spread this revolution fast enough we can save America
and the world. Unless we have this revolution there will
be q revolution of chaos.
ct needs this stronger dose. Sin leaves us with such
4 dull, heavy thud. The blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanseth us from all SIM That is the discovery everyone
is looking for. That is the answer.
"Then you will have a wonderful example that the
whole world will want to follow. You will have an America
to which the wise and honest can repair. And that is what
the world expects today of America. You will have a battle
cry of freedom, and that is what America wants. You will
have a democracy that is really inspired.
"Then our young men and our old men will fight as
Lincoln fought of old. Our young men will know what to
fight for and our wars will be won. And we shall be at
peace with all men and the whole world.
"The hour is late. Here is the answer. For Gods sake.
