Last Chance

Churchmen have been saying it for years. But when General Douglas MacArthur said it last week in his speech at the Japanese surrender, the words had new meaning and authority:

"Military alliance, balances of power, League of Nations all in turn failed. . . . We have had our last chance. If we do not now devise some greater and more equitable system Armageddon will be at our door. The problem basically is theological and involves a spiritual recrudescence and improvement of human character that will synchronize with our almost matchless advance in science, art, literature and all material and cultural developments of the past two thousand years. It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh."
