And now an organization arises, born out of bitterest need, and struggles
toward this end, toward redemption from this world of money, this time of
gold. And who would prevent me from giving this organization a hand in the
name of Christ? Who will blame me for declaring the truth of those
people’s
clear witness that we are on a downhill road, of their hope that in spite
of all our present decadence we are coming to a better time, a time in
which it will truly be said, “Peace on earth,” a time giving birth to
those
who understand what life and salvation mean? Such is the goal of God’s
kingdom on earth, of the God who is a redeemer for all humanity.
