DO YOU see a bright future ahead? For YOU? For humanity? Personally, I do - and if you can join me in saying that, you are one in a hundred thousand! Where is any good, news today? Where is any future to be found, in nations at war, nations developing nuclear weapons that can erase all human, animal and plant life from the earth? Where is any hope to be found in the wretchedness, ignorance, poverty, squalor, filth in which more than half the world's population live? Where is any joyous anticipation to be found in prosperous "Have" nations, where the source of drinking water - the rivers and lakes - are being polluted, the air we breathe befouled, the soil worn out and contaminated and foods robbed in food factories; where homes and families are being broken up, crime is rapidly increasing, racial tensions and violence erupting, sickness and mental disturbances multiplying? Where is happiness today? Fifty years ago, driving along country roads in Iowa I saw and heard farmers plowing behind a team of horses, singing happily as they walked. Today the farmers ride tractors - but where did the singing and the happiness go? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
