No one could ever make ' a complete list, as each person has his own idea concerning pests: The pests that seem to be prevalent to-day are n6t poison ivy or mosquitoes or your neighbour ' s youngest, but wrong ideas. In to-day ' s world there are many ways in which young people may turn. When they decide which path to follow, it is often found to be dominated by a specific idea, [that they must either fight or support.] Too, many business men become materialistic in their ideas, and ambition blots out all spiritual values. The thought of God, which should be supreme is being forgotten, and the pest of materialism is gaining influence. The pest of Communism is one that must be overcome, not by war, but by a better idea. People should realize this and begin thinking in terms of peace instead of war. In the pages of history it is seen that Christianity is the better idea that should be built up to combat Communism. Other pests that are injuring our world are class and racial prejudice. I wonder if anyone could ever give a plausible explanation for one? Everyone likes the scent of a rose and everyone feels grief and sorrow, where then is the difference? Our example of the perfect man, Jesus, had no prejudice, he chose a man of another race to be the Good Samaritan. By seeking to be like him our prejudice should disappear, and Christianity would conquer the pest once more. By reasoning, an individual can see the challenge that lies before them. It is by the Christian actions and ideas of each person that the pests of our present day world will be overcome, and now is the time to put them into practice. B.A.S. Page Five
