RECONSTRUCTION
In these times, it is well for us to reconstruct our thinking to meet the conditions of a war-tom world. The formulas by which we were guided, and which served in the past, will have to be modified. Courageous allegiance to right thinking was never so important as it is today. Now is the time to take inventory of our faith and ideals, and of the economic and cultural advantages we enjoy as a result of our great heritage of peace and freedom. Evaluating this heritage in the realistic light of present-day happenings, and with the conviction that right makes might, let us firmly dedicate ourselves to the belief that the spiritual forces in the world must eventually prevail. In the end the vast potential power for good which lies in the hearts and minds of all right-thinking individuals in all countries—regardless of religious faith or political creed—will prove mightier than all the military force the word can bring to bear.—Thomas J. Watson in Think.
