The Rev Dr H A Manchester at East Boston Presbyterian Church condemns the rapid pace of modern life as deadly and warns that fame and big dividends push society toward disaster. He urges slowing down and sober thought amid industry and money driven chaos. He says God is not directly guiding worldly outcomes except through nature’s laws.
