“The question of authority has become one of the gravest questions. Never was there such a wide-spread revolt against all rightful authority as today…The many want to govern, and only a few want to be governed. Whether a government be Democratic, Republican, or Autocratic, it must have some central authority. Without that central authority society cannot exist, and its overthrow inevitably leads to anarchy and chaos among the people.” – J. Gregory Mantle, from a sermon published in 1920.
