C harles J. Armstrong, president
of Pacific university, delivered the
Easter message. He was intro
i duced by O, Meredith Wilson, pres
! on "Vhl p* University- Speaking
on The Power of Belief," Arm
..strong Sa,d (hat the resurrection

ture. However, to believe in the

r-. ? Mk‘f lips at the very core of
-hristianity, ’ Armstrong told the

hen can he realize his true na
ure The Constitution of the Uni
ted States was written around the
- bas'c, ldea of the innate dignity
j a"d ir°?dom ot the individual un
aer God.
Armstrong pointed out that
: other influential world civiliza
tions like the Greeks and the
Hebrews accomplished things in
the realm of thought rather than
on a material plane. However.
: these civilizations fell as soon as
they allowed themselves to be sur
| feited by materialism, he contin
ued. He cautioned that Americans
must not become so taken in by
, material progress that they forget
the spiritual, if they do not wish
i to fall as Greece and Rome did.
