    “… the assertion [that human brings were made in the image of God] confirms the genuineness of each man’s freedom.

    A PRESIDENT PRAYS Personal prayer, it seems to me, is one of the simplest necessities of life, as basic to the individual as sunshine, food and water--and at times, of course, more so. By prayer I mean an effort to get in touch with the Infinite. We know that our prayers are imperfect. Of course ...read more
