(4) Boldly To Combat The Heresy Of Secularism.

In the fields of Educa^tonf Economics,. . and 1 International -^Diplomacy the leaders of thought and of action are frequently confronted by the need of making difficult decisions between conflicting courses of action. And the choice made by each individual public man will inevitably be influenced by both his own personal philosophy of life, and also by the outlook of the population which he represents.

Believers can tolerate no scheme for the disposition of human affairs which is calculated t6^|ehy^ the existence of a divine plaii'-w ignore^^tne^. import* ance thereof.
