Title: Watchman, What of the Night?
Description: Text of a lecture to the Sphex Club in Lynchburg. Watchman, What of the Night? by A. F. Thomas, examines the parallels between biblical and contemporary global turmoil, advocating for moral integrity, democratic cooperation, and international governance. Thomas critiques the failures of post-WWI settlements, emphasizes the importance of moral law in political and economic realms, and suggests that the U.S. model of divided sovereignty could inspire a global democratic framework.
