THE FUTURE?
CIVILISATION WILL ENDURE. "Let us not enter upon this test of endurance enervated by pessimistic speculations on the future.” said Dr Charles L. Warr. Dean of the Thistle and Chape] Royal, preaching in St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh. “The Christian civilisation will not perish. You do not destroy civilisation by destroying a certain quantity of stone and lime or killing a certain number of people or dislocating currencies. Civilisation lies in the soul of man. which cannot be destroyed, and what man has built once he can build again. But when peace returns, those who remain will have much rebuilding to do in a world which will be grievously wounded and weary. Let us hope that the rebuilding will be on foundations better than the past has known.”
