"Signs of the Times" in Ameri
can life today -both gloomy and
optimistic were discussed at a
meeting of the Wayncsvillc Ki
w:inis Club Tuesday by the Rev.
T. K. Hobinett. pastor of the First
Baptist Church.
Three major "minus" signs con
cerning the American people, ilev.
Itobinett said, are: <li a confused
sense of values. <2i a spirit of in
difference. and (ti> the disintegra
tion of home life
Neglecting the spiritual, the es
thetic, and the cultural, many
Americans today judge things sole
ly in the light of "how much did
it cost." the minister asserted.
We have also become so lazy
and indifferent that we "let peo- !
pie who want to talk long and loud >
i nougli to appear to be an author- '
ity in their field," he added.
"We need to have our people
tired up." Mr. Itobinett observed.
One reason that home life has 1
disintegrated is that we can dis- j
i olve the martial relationship with l
no trouble at all. he pointed out.
"On the brighter side." the Bap
tist pastor said, "are a spirit of |1
ingenuity, of kindness and con-'1
Mdcratlon." 1
'This is still ihe land of oppor
tunity, where a man can start with
nothing and end up with every
