PRECIOUS THINGS It has seemed to me that however unsatisfactory and difficult difficult cult it may prove the task for tor us might better be to cull from the wealth of wisdom and experience he ho h has hs s bequeathed us a few tew only of ot the more precious things which if it we treasure shall make us u's better better better bet bet- ter citizens individually and which collectively shall knit us together I into a more virile compact fighting fight fight- i j ing unit for the right in private lITe an and In public affairs which I shall Inspirit us to a I better and loftier patriotism and shall lead leadus u us along the way of a larger national na- na life more potent with Influence In fluence for the tho welfare of our own citizens and for tor the freedom and liberties of the oppress oppressed d peoples peoples peo pee ples pies of ot the earth However much we today may shut our eyes to to th the unpalatable facts however much we may seek to lull ourselves Into a false Security se security security se- se by self deception the stern l' l relentless reality Is that we live today In a perilous transition be between between between be- be tween two great world epochs when revolution bloody as the Soviets and bloodless as with us is and changing the face tace of the tho earth We Ve may wish It otherwise for it Is Inconvenient and disturbing to have the peaceful peace peace- ful satisfactory course of our affluent lives disturbed by the shifting shirting and grumbling of those who less prosperous than lour lour- ourselves our our- selves shake the crust of or the

It has heretofore occupied pIed and labor will march in and possess it that this eventuality cannot be turned aside Dr or avold avoided d by the plans or efforts of Df man and recalling the h Divine
