Signs of the Times

with contributions from Hoover, F. Lewis Donaldson, Marquis of Lothian, William Lawrence

[President Hoover, as quoted in the New York Herald-Tribune, New York]

Governments are tested at last by their attitudes to the welfare of men and women. No thoughtful person in a place of high trust can forget the dramatic picture, drawn by the great Teacher, of nations being sent away into torment because they had neglected the sick, the naked, the hungry, and the unfortunate. Hardly anything in modern civil life is more encouraging than the new human feeling, the deep human interest now so widespread among governments.

In this devotion to human life they gladly recognize the real assistance and leadership of the churches, which constatnly hold before their governments the ideals of courage and charity, sympathy, honor, gentleness, goodness, and faith. The governments know that the life of the world cannot be saved if the soul of the world is allowed to be lost.
