meanlie oversight, something wore might
take its place. A disintegrating process is slowly bat
tarely andermining the cornerstone of American De-
morrary and leaving « void that will be filed with de-
Grading error if it is wot filled with the only Trath thet
mehes men ives.
An edterial in “Fortune” magerine affirmed thet the
strength of American lite ie rooted in Christian truth,
as the Pounders of our country 1 specifically declared
in the Declaration of Independence. “The basic seach-
ings of Christionsty ove in ts bloodstream," the editorial
read. ‘The central doctrine of ts political system—the
jnviolability of the individud—it « doctrina inberited
from aingtoen hundred years of Christion insistence wpon
the immortality of the soul.” But the great mass of
Americans know lew and lew about this trath, Thaok
God, this truth [en's being rejected. It is being dusre-
and ignored, only because it ia seldom, if ever,
brought to their attention. .
About 100,000,000 Americens, oF 70% of our popu-
lation, are not sexulerly reached by anyone in the name
of Chris, They ere living off the benefits of Christian-
icy, yet are drifting farther and farther away from ids
ic senets—beliel in a personal God, the divinity of
Christ, the Ten Commandments, the sacred charactet of
the individual, the sanctity of marriage and the home,
and the conviction thet the human rights of every per:
son come from God and not irom the state. Since
these principles constitute the very foundation of ttue
freedom, the Nazis, the Pascises, and the Communists
always strive to banish them from man's consciousness.
