tgJtBfVURGH PRESS-REPUSLfCAK—SATURDAV, MNt tf, Christ Must Be Brought Bach to Our World Again By JIEV. JOSEPH G. ATJBIN Assistant Pastor /ui hiaf of Victory Church Plattsburgh There is one thought that races through the mind of anyone who stops occasionally to catch his breath and think: The world has lo-^i ChrLM. and Christ most be brought back to the world. Analyze the unchristian situation yourself, and you will see facing\ you art awful category of failures In the wreckage of all of them yov> will <;f»r>'-<= that 'he dt'J.'p was the . ah-sense of the principles of Christ.* Wilt can one expec. when His' Words are 'greeted* l.fce a breeze. He answered questions that per- plex *he niavi\ for azes and. In- stead of listening, the -Aorld runs to ' mall talk' lor ihe solutions. So the world—or rather those in 1! .leverl:' remove the Hub of the wheel m hope of greater prog-' re-.v B'it there is no progress without direition. And that direction of which the -\orld is so much in need h^ oeen decreed by Alrruphty God to be the Principles of His own tics and the sphere, of. society. In these spheres of influence the spirit of irrellgion is gnawing away with tremendous \chew-ability\. What will be left when the spirit of irreligion has gorged itself, God alone knows. ' ' In the field of politics we read the sad, story of personal ambition and intrigue, welded together with all the evils of the party Astern and the absence of any authorita- tive guidance. Unscrupulous politicians with these ambitions can drag the masses h,to a very strange realm | of existance. Russia and sections of Europe are simply arch-types of I such a system of corruption. Breaking- Away Society itself is breaking away from the moorings of Christian se- curity by following the cult of feel- ing and expediency alone.

Entertainment for the children •will Include games and pony rides. utterances become talk of a growing number of people it definitely be comes the moment of decision: who is right or who is wrong? Guiding- Force 'Ihe principles of Christ are the guiding force of. those who want the security of truths. They are the principles that make for 'light- ness'. Therefore they are the con- trolling influence in all institutions Where men gather together for the common good. The words of Jesus Christ contain His principles, With no irreverence Intended we can say that Christ spoke with a 'punch'. And a punch is meant to leave an impression. In the case of Christ He meant to leave a lasting impression. Therefore politics and society and every other human institution must realize that 'Not bread alone —nor personal whims or cut throat competition—does man live but by Every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'
