RADIO PROGRAM No. 152 - The Reason for Morality

INTERVIEWER: Young people today are searching for a clear-cut line between right and wrong. I am sure the average boy or girl wants to do what is right. But die big question is this: How can a young person know what is right, and how can he keep on the right track?

William I. Nichols is quoted in "Vital Speeches of the Day" as saying, "We have long since passed the day when morals could be imposed on anyone. No, now they must be chosen, not sullenly to please father, or mother, or the policeman on the block—but freely and willingly. Because—on balance, and in terms of today's conditions—experience and common sense—plus enlightened leadership . . . are demonstrating that morality and happiness go hand in hand."

Having worked a lot with young people, how do you as a Christian Scientist feel about this subject of morality?
