Why are we so slow to take note of our br brothers plight? Is it not strange, that so br many times, it requires the tragedies of br society, to reveal the best of humanity? br br So many dire, critical events and desperate br pleas of mankind are seen in the light of day. br It seems they are not responded to, until the br twelfth hour, when darkness comes and br all seems lost. Is it not better to respond to br a cry for help before the darkness, while br there is time, while the light of hope br burns brightly? br br In these United States hundreds of years ago, br when our forefathers began to paint a canvas br of the love of God, of honesty, helping thy br neighbor, morality and family unity. We stand br before that canvas now and we see vast br alterations. Many among us have replaced br honesty with greed, morality with br immorality, helping thy neighbor, with indifference br and family unity with legions of gypsies to roam br the earth without roots, without purpose, without br a love of country and fellow man...without br a love of God. br br Take great care that you do not follow the legions br of lost people; for in their improprieties and in br their rejection of the God within them, they have br forsaken not only Him but themselves.
