Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 104: January 1, 1942The world's greatest need in this its most tragic and its most terrible hour is spiritual regeneration and applied religion.

Those who appreciate and really understand modern Christian civiliza tion believe in being honest, they believe in being true, and they believe in doing good to all men.Anciently it was said, An' eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Only the beast like, those not endowed with that gift of reason and feeling with which man. Is endowed can practice such a revengeful and selfish teaching.
