As The World Community Develops

As To Judging Our Own Time, And Thereby Gaining Some Basis For A Judgment Of Future Possibilities, We Are Doubtless Not Only Too Close To It To Appraise It But Too Much Formed By It And Enclosed Within It To Do So.

Let Us Be Patient With One Another, And Even Patient With Ourselves. We Have A Long, Long Way To Go. So Let Us Hasten Along The Road, The Road Of Human Tenderness And Generosity. Groping, We May Find One Another's Hands In The Dark.

Those Who Are Rooted In The Depths That Are Eternal And Unchangeable And Who Rely On Unshakeable Principles, Face Change Full Of Courage, Courage Based On Faith.

Human Nature Seems To Me Like The Alps. The Depths Are Profound, Black As Night, And Terrifying, But The Heights Are Equally Real, Uplifted In The Sunshine.

The Future Will Be Determined In Part By Happenings That It Is Impossible To Foresee; It Will Also Be Influenced By Trends That Are Now Existent And Observable.
