What the pied piper did was to play a magic tune on his pipe that somehow charmed all the rats and led them irresistibly out of the town, and into a river where they drowned. The situation in the world is like that. There is a magic tune being played by the media for all to hear. Our senses are bombarded every day of the week with worldly trends, values, and attitudes. And their basic message is, “You must Worldly Temptations 51
