GIVING VALUE TO LIFE
" If life is to keep for lis its dignity and value we must find something, to live and die for in peace as in war," said the Archbishop of York. Dr Temple, in a recent address. "Some find this in the pursuit of knowledge or of beauty, hut we cannot all. be scientists or artists: and even for them their chosen ideals never cover the whloe of life. Nothing does that except the purpose of God. The one sovereign cure for a- sense of. futility, and frustration is faith in God. If anyone's faith in God were complete, so that he trusted God,with his whole being, that would gvie direction and meaning to every moment of his time and every jot of his activity; and- a man has this sense of direction and meaning in life just so far as he really does believe and trust in God.'
