The worship of one God has been abandoned in favour of the worship of such local divinities as the nation, the class and even the deified individual. Such is the world in which we find ourselves - a world which, judged by the only acceptable criterion of progress, is manifestly in regression. Technological advance is rapid. But without progress in charity, technological advance is useless. Indeed, it is worse than useless. Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.
