PURIFYING OUR ENVIRONMENT

Esther M. Scheck Peterson

Moral decadence
and sensual impurity—
are these not the basic causes
for overpopulation
and world pollution?

How can we find
a means for security
from evil's sly infiltration
into every community
throughout civilization?

Our only safety
from earthly contamination
is in rededication
to spiritual integrity,
through Christly
purification.

Actually, God's man never lost
his Christly purity,
his original foundation;
or wandered from divinity,
his native habitation.

Esther M. Scheck Peterson
