"Faith, love and positive voluntary action are necessities in the spiritual foundation of world order," stated Dr. Walter Hazzard in his third and final message of the Annual Sermon Series in Thirkield Memorial Chapel, Gammon Theological Seminary on November 19, at 10 a.m. Dr. Hazzard classed these three elements as rocks upon which one may build in the attempt to stand up to the ever present challenge that life presents. There are three doors that need to be flung open if the basic elements of life would be made manifest, namely the door of knowledge, the door of justice, and the door of religion. Far too long have these doors been shut in the faces of those who are considered the lesser class.
The most arresting challenge that presents itself today is that of strengthening the spiritual foundation by world order. For example, Dr. Hazzard cites the great achievements of the United Nations, and other affiliated agencies and yet there is still world disorder.
In conclusion the speaker asked that we remain cognizant of the fact that, "there is no world peace without world justice, and the first line of defense in this world is not military, but spiritual."
Dr. Hazzard is the superintendent of the Easton District, of the Delaware Conference of The Methodist Church
