Ethics. Where have they gone?
Ethics, says the dictionary, is "the science of human duty; moral science."
In today's world, so complicated with gadgetry and machines that we often lose sight of others and of our own best selves, it isn't always easy to keep "human duty" in mind.
As life gets more complicated, men lose their sense of identity, value and purpose. Life, in a sense, becomes "cheap" and "unimportant." And with that, it becomes ever easier to take the easy way, to ignore the principles of right-and our human duty to others.
The one place where human values are kept in proper focus is where you worship. Nowhere is the individual more valued. And if you care, the place where you worship can become, with your help, a rallying point for lifting all the deteriorating values you see around you. Worship this week -and put your faith to work all week.
