fare of our people is entrusted to the care o f strange and weird people. Great changes had to take place during these recent years, and even greater changes will have to take place in the future. But no safe and proper change seen in recent times — and certainly none of the irrational changes that out number the sane ones—can justi fy the wholesale abandonment of the safe and sure principles of God and this country which have brought us safely this far. In the face of great changes we Chris tians have to remember that we
have a firm point of'view and that we operate from certain unchang ing foundations. We believe in a God who does not change — in human nature which does not change except for its accommodation with and ac ceptance o f God — in standards of right and wrong that do not change — in death and judgment which are inescapable — and we believe in a truth that is absolute, not relative, and which is for ever settled in heaven and can never pass away.

They teach the differ ence between the clean and the unclean. They observe and keep the Sabbath and they do not pro fane either the name, the Spirit, or the power of God. The third cause o f our uncer tainties in this time is the doctrine of universal criticism. Today man is taught not to accept anything until he has first put it under strong and critical examination. Trust nobody — believe nobody — have faith in nothing — and ac cept no truth until it has been proved to you with mathematical exactness and material demon stration. That is the agony of the hour when the doctrine of criti cism has taken over our people. You cannot pick up a paper, a magazine, or a book that is not in and of itself critical o f something or somebody, even i n c l ud i ng among its victims Almighty God Himself. In truth, the criticisms of God rank well above almost all other criticisms of the hour. More people — in more ways and on more occasions — cast doubt, hurl darts, and throw charges against God such as this country has never seen in all of its history. To accept the doctrine o f uni versal criticism leaves us with al most nothing that is sacred — al most nothing that is absolute — and nothing that is eternal. So real has our acceptance o f the doctrine of criticism become that even the word “ indoctrination” has been turned into an evil word that must be shunned like “ dis cipline,” “ disciple,” or “ patriot ism.” These three doctrines—univer sal conformity, universal change, and universal criticism — have left our nation without moorings or anchors.
