It is not so much that democracy , capitalism and socialism in its various forms have

failed. Man has failed. We have not been honest enough ,unselfish enough, loving

enough, pure enough to make our system work. it is not just a new system we need but new

men.

In the past we have left the formation of character to the home, school, religion .Today that is

not enough .Too few homes have any ideas how to give character training .Schools have

abdicated responsibilities for training in how to live ,and millions never a place of worship. A

new skill needs to be mastered by men if society is not to be destroyed by our selfishness.
