Excerpt from What's the Matter With Our Uncle Sam? Or Building a Christian Democracy
Every student of human affairs is confronted with the fact that man exists. We are here. We have a being. We are possessed with intelligence. Wherever we look we see the unmistakable evidences that the wonderful creation all about us is, in one way or another, adapted to the needs of man. 7c drink the water. We breathe the air. We cultivate the fields that they may bring forth the fruits of earth. We bask in the warm sun shine, and our hearts are lifted up in praise to God as we see the springing of new life all around us, invited and tempted by sunshine and shower.
In the heavens above us the sun reigns as the great king of the universe, and among the starry hosts of heaven rides the moon as the beautiful queen of the night. Her soft light sheds its benediction upon the world and guards its slumbers.
What is the meaning of all this wonderful creation? The philosophers of every age have attempted to answer this question, but every attempt has brought to the world new questions, new facts, new theories, and new definitions.
Is the question answered in Holy Writ? Holy Writ is the world's Bible, and the first four words of that immortal book are, In the beginning God.
In that book we are told that it was God who created the heavens, in which He placed the sun, to give us light by day, and the moon, to give us light by night.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges America to reclaim its founding ideals of Life, Liberty, and Happiness for all. The author argues that to achieve this, the nation must dismantle the oppressive structures of war, economic inequality, political corruption, and industrial exploitation. Set against the backdrop of a post-World War I America grappling with widespread unrest and disillusionment, the book examines the profound impact of these issues on the lives of ordinary citizens. The author traces the historical roots of America's problems, exposing the ways in which greed and unchecked power have corrupted its institutions and stifled its potential. Through a blend of historical analysis, economic insights, and moral reasoning, this book presents a bold vision for a Christian Democracy that prioritizes the well-being of all its citizens. It offers practical solutions to the complex challenges facing America, emphasizing the need for disarmament, fair taxation, government transparency, and a more just distribution of wealth. The author argues that America's true destiny lies not in military might or material wealth, but in its ability to live up to the ideals of its founders and create a society where every individual has the opportunity to live a life of dignity, purpose, and fulfillment.
