It Is Clear That This Essential Christian

We Have Entered A New Phase Of Culture - We May Call It The Age Of The Cinema - In Which The Most Amazing Perfection Of Scientific Technique Is Being Devoted To Purely Ephemeral Objects, Without Any Consideration Of Their Ultimate Justification. It Seems As Though A New Society Was Arising Which Will Acknowledge No Hierarchy Of Values, No Intellectual Authority, And No Social Or Religious Tradition, But Which Will Live For The Moment In A Chaos Of Pure Sensation.

No Doubt Western Civilization Has In The Past Been Full Of Wars And Revolutions, And The National Elements In Our Culture, Even When They Were Ignored, Always Provided An Unconscious Driving Force Of Passion And Aggressive Self-assertion

It Is True That Christianity Is Not Bound Up With Any Particular Race Or Culture. It Is Neither Of The East Or Of The West, But Has A Universal Mission To The Human Race As A Whole

But The West Did Not Last Long Enough. Its Folk Myths And Heroes Became Stage Properties Of Hollywood Before The Poets Had Begun To Get To Work On Them.

The Man Who Is Fond Of Books Is Usually A Man Of Lofty Thought, And Of Elevated Opinions.
