Even a saint is not safe in our times The death of Mahatma Gandhi is not only terrible in itself but also a sad commentary on the state of our present civilization.

The life of even a saint is no longer safe in our times. This is a direct result of the effects of two world wars and the spread of totalitarianism which has led to a steady berefting from human life of the sanctity which our creed has always placed upon it.
