THE EDITOR, Sir:

WHERE ARE our morals gone? Licentiousness is a norm that is prevalent in today's society. Newspapers, magazines, the Internet and television are saturated with sex, producing morals which match that of the antediluvian world. No longer is sex confined to the chambers of the bedroom, but is paraded on the streets on a daily basis by the uninhibited nudity or provocative half dress of our women.

What sort of signal are we sending by these acts of wantonness? As a Christian man, I feel deprived of my morals, for it's hard to keep my purity in sight of such nudity. No longer do we preach the law of self governance, our morals have long been thrown through the window.

What can be expected of a world living in such an age as this? We don't have to look very far - debased passions, lewdness, lust and illicit sex are increasingly growing. Has it become inhumane or innately wrong to be clothed decently? Nakedness has now become relative, as it is left to the individual to determine such.

My friends, where must the line be drawn? When the cup of iniquity is filled up and they start walking the streets broadcasting wholesale nudity?

I am, etc.,
