What Jesus Christ would say to us if he should speak to us in audible voice now would be something like this: Be a person. Be a real person. Stand on your own feet. Do not be pushed about by passing fads. Live by an inward light. Be true to an inward loyalty. If skepticism divides the church, vulgarity discolors social living, the profit motive makes industry often cruel, and nationalism blockades the way to peace, do not yes, yes the situation. Have a conscience of your own and when in private life the clamor of public customs grows very loud, do you grow quiet, quiet enough to hear the bear and catch the rhythm of that inward drum. -Harry Emerson Fosdick
