“Everything that we see about us that we count is our possessions only comprises a loan from God, and it is when we lose sight of this all-pervading truth that we become greedy and covetous.”

“Our magazine shelves are filled with crime and sex pulp-magazines that are being read and devoured by millions of young people . . .
Scores are seeing each week the trash that Hollywood produces. Truly our children are “movie mad.”
