WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? (Continued from jiage 104)

demeanors are almost invariably comm itted by young peo ple of high school age. Respect for p aren tal au tho rity has largely become a th ing of th e past. Thinking people everywhere are deeply concerned a t the general trend , and are earnestly seeking to ascertain the cause, th a t a cure may be prescribed. Who is responsible for th is condition? W hat has hap pened to so completely a lter moral standard s? W hat is It th a t has changed law-abiding citizens into defiers of law, and innocent, inexperienced youths into consummate crim inals? Our profound conviction is th a t th e displacement of the Bible, by unbelieving preachers and professors, as th e au th o ritativ e ru le of conduct, is altog eth er responsible! % Have not th e liberal in terp reters of the Bible contributed to the present conditions of lawlessness by doing away with th e Word of God as having supreme au tho rity ? Is no t th e present orgy of divorce due to a lack of those C hristian v ir tues which inhere in th e home wholly impregnated w ith the sp irit of the Word? May no t the manifest lack of filial respect be due to th e absence in large p a rt of th a t unquali fied acceptance of God’s Word as law in daily life which for merly m aintained in Christian homes generally, and which found its la rg e r expression in genuine respect for and unqualified observance of th e laws of th e land? There are o ther contributory causes, bu t they are secon dary and incidental. The Word of God has been made of no effect. The Bible has been belittled. All au th o rity has been tak en away from God. The fear of God has lost its. potency to restra in the sinful tendencies of th e n a tu ra l man. Prom ised judgm ent no longer serves as a d eterre n t to crime. Wholesome re stra in t of th e ten commandments has been nullified. “ If th e foundations be destroyed, w h at can th e righteous do?” Ps. 11:3. Is it any wonder th a t Crime is on th e increase? W hat we need as individuals and as a nation is to bring our lives into accord w ith th e “Thus saith the Lord” of th e Word of God. The very foundations of our Christian civilization are threatened. We m u st g e t back to B ible stand ard s of right* eousness, and p u t God on H is throne.
