NEEDS REPRINTING

Genesis 50:1-13

The family is the controlling unit of life in the Orient. There the family tie is the strong­est of all ties. Here in the Western Hemi­sphere individual initiative—everyone free to swing out for himself—is the controlling char­acteristic. Both Orient and Occident go to not-good extremes in this. A wholesome blend of both is the normal thing. We need to strengthen’ wholesomely our family loyal­ties. The Fifth Commandment needs re­printing with big type in American life.
