The tone of society

Originally published in the March 27, 1963 issue of The Christian Science Monitor

The publishing of the series "Challenge to Morality" hints the true moral tone of society. A society which is concerned with the challenges of moral decay and which takes firm steps to prevent such decay is at heart a moral society. It is unwilling to submit supinely to evil and let the steam roller of lawlessness crush out the most valuable element of freedom that has developed to human thought—moral might.

Morality is by no means forgotten even in a world engrossed in material expansion and interests. There is ample evidence of a solid, decent determination to outwit and destroy the evil forces that would obstruct the highest aim of society—a free and stable and law-abiding community.

In "Challenge to Morality" the world's glaring moral aberrations are pointed out, and the steps being taken in order to correct them are discussed. The gravity of the situation should alert many people to see that moral decay must be dealt with frankly and effectively. Public indignation can exert power.
