(Continued From Page 1) there are many interests and lead- ers who attempt to gain our atten- tion and following. Hitler presents Naziism, Stalin offers Communism, and Mussolini has Fascism. All thunder out, "Follow me!" Are we to turn aside and follow mere man? Unfortunately that is what many of us are doing, but if we stop and listen, we will hear a low voice whispering the same words, "Fol- lo-o" mej" It is the voice of God, and he is attempting to gain our at- tention. Dr. Copenhaver then said that all this will be changed with- in ten years. By this time, things will have started to settle, new things will present themselves, new problems will be facing us for settlement. What are we go- ing to do then? Many of us will hear God's voice, and yet not rec- ognize it, because we will only give him physical attention, not moral attention. Dr. Copenhaver then brought out the fact that God often has to destroy man's handi- work, in order to save him from his own self.
