From an article by C. A. Wells in the Pueblo Star Journal Colorado

The most important fact about the life of the late Albert Einstein is that he halted the mechanistic and atheistic march of science. His history-shattering discoveries brought science back into its true relationship with religion. Hear what Dr. Einstein said about the scientist's faith in God: "We see in rapturous amazement the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection. This feeling is the modern scientist's guiding principle of life and work. ..."

The great minds of our age have rediscovered that God is all, in all, through all, guiding all. This is not pantheism, but the realization that outside of belief in God there is no true existence.

When our ambitions and material desires possess us and our hands are open as we beseech, "More, more," when we wish better outer circumstance and the praise of our fellow man, it is well that we pause and consider the desires of the great ones of the Scriptures.

The Psalmist cries: "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." ...

Jesus of Nazareth prayed as the hour of the crucifixion drew near: "O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."

Paul records for us that he had asked God for deliverance from "a thorn in the flesh" and that the answer was not deliverance from this particular ill but the assurance, "My grace is sufficient for thee."

Does not all this indicate that our prayers should be less for fulfillment of our personal desires and more that His grace take over in our lives and His will, not ours, be done?

Today there is a very definite sign that at last we are realizing that the material things are not sufficient to bring us happiness and maintain the American way of life. As a result, there is stirring in our land a decided recognition of the need for a greater rearmament program—a spiritual rearmament ..., and a rededication to the principles upon which our great country was founded one hundred and seventy-eight years ago.

Let us remember these principles! Let us practice them in our everyday lives and encourage our neighbors to do the same. If we do, then we cannot help but restore the true leadership of America founded upon the enduring principles of the one religion we share in common— faith in the Supreme Being who guides the destinies of all.

With such faith—great enough and broad enough for all, irrespective of race, creed, or color—there will be re-created that true American spirit of brotherhood which we ... were divinely chosen to demonstrate.

Rev. Ray Clark in a guest editorial in the Sheridan Press, Wyoming

"The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness" (Ps. 72:3).

No constitution, no bill of rights, no statesman, no military right, can give a people freedom and preserve it for them. The men who established our American freedoms knew this. They were brave and liberty-loving men, but above all they were God-fearing men. They knew that only in the service of God is there perfect freedom.

We must ask ourselves seriously whether we Americans of our day are keeping faith with our national fathers, in the only right way: by keeping their faith.

The Psalmist dreams of a nation whose very landscape seems to suffuse peace and justice to all; but such blessings come not literally from the landscape, but from the spiritual excellence of a people whose God is the Lord. This dream is reasonable and realistic. It will come true for any nation whose people seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

From an article in the Lewisham Borough News London, England

True serenity ... springs from two sources: first, a simple but profound personal faith in the unalterable goodness of God; second, in a clear understanding of His immediate will and in a resolve to do it.

As one would expect, it was there in Jesus, himself. On one occasion messengers came to him saying: "Get thee out ... for Herod will kill thee." With unbroken calm came the reply: "Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, ... I must walk to day, and to morrow, ... it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem."

Perhaps John Greenleaf Whittier puts the most adequate prayer upon our lips when he invites us to say,

We need more lives of that quality.
