Religion Is Not An End In Itself.

The Darkness That We See In Our World Today Is Due To The Disintegration Of Things Out Of Harmony With God's Laws. The Basic Conflict Is Not Between Nations, It Is Between Two Opposing Beliefs. The First Is That Evil Can Be Overcome By More Evil, That The End Justifies The Means. This Belief Is Very Prevalent In Our World Today. It Is The War Way. It Is The Official Position Of Every Major Nation.

Never Think Of Any Right Effort As Being Fruitless. All Right Effort Bears Fruit, Whether We See The Results Or Not.

I Would Like To Mention Some Preparations That Were Required Of Me. The First Preparation Is To Take A Right Attitude Toward Life. This Means, Stop Being An Escapist! Stop Being A Surface Liver Who Stays Right In The Froth Of The Surface. There Are Millions Of These People, And They Never Find Anything Really Worthwhile. Be Willing To Face Life Squarely And Get Down Beneath The Surface Of Life Where The Verities And Realities Are To Be Found. That's What We Are Doing Here Now.

As I Accepted The Change Of The Golden Hair Of My Childhood To The Reddish-brown Hair Of My Youth Without Regret, So I Also Accept My Silver Hair-and I Am Ready To Accept The Time When My Hair And The Rest Of My Clay Garment Returns To The Dust From Which It Came, While My Spirit Goes On To Freer Living. It Is The Season For My Hair To Be Silver, And Each Season Has Its Lessons To Teach. Each Season Of Life Is Wonderful If You Have Learned The Lessons Of The Season Before. It Is Only When You Go On With Lessons Unlearned That You Wish For A Return.

I Believe That The Means You Use Will Determine The End You Receive.
