Show Pres. Phil Addresses A Baccaleaureate is described as "A sermon to a graduating class" and "the Service at which the sermon is delivered," Phil D. Jensen told members of the graduating class at services held on Sunday, May 25, at the American Fork High School auditorium. au-ditorium. Mr. Jensen said no where did he find where it told about the sermon or the length. He added, "the only suggestion I've received is that the sermon should not last longer than the senior year." With this in mind, he chose "manna is for today" as the topic of his words, stating "at gradutions there is so much talk about the future--and very little talk about today. I thought I'd like to talk about today. Noting the graduation theme "The Best of Times," he quoted from Charles Dickens writings of "A Tale of Two Cities," It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom it was the age of foolsh-ness, foolsh-ness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the spoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. Mr. Jensen then told about manna as described in the Old Testament, saying manna could be baked or boiled but when they tried to save it over, it bred worms and stank-except on the sixth day when they kept it over for the sabbath. He described Manna today in the same way, saying it could not be saved off. President Jensen Jen-sen listed manna as time; ideas; happiness; influence and love. He explained when we say "I don't have time" that it isn't true for everyone has the same amount of time and the reason for the lack of time comes from the choices we make. "You cannot pick up one end of a stick without picking up the other end. When you choose a road, you also choose the end of the road. "The decision to smoke--wholly apart from any religious or moral considerations-means a decision for cancer of the lungs or emphysema or both. "The housewife who does not have time to be a ballet dancer or for clubs or community projects does not have time because she made the decision to be a good wife and mother. "There is no decision which is all rewards and no effort," Mr. Jensen said, "everything costs in time and work." Mr. Jensen went on that manna man-na is ideas in that everyone receives a quota of ideas each day. Many come from your subconscious sub-conscious mind which flash into your thoughts without effort. "How often do we hear a person per-son say "I thought of doing that one time, but I never got around to it?" he asked. He then said, "it may come to a shock to some of you but there are at least four things which you must do to be successful. You must drink, swear, steal and lie." He explained, "you must drink in all the knowledge you can hold; swear to keep the Lord's commandments; steal time for study and self-improvement; self-improvement; and when you lie down at night, take time to meditate and thank the Lord for the many blessings you have." On a lighter note, Mr. Jensen said, "it never occurs to a young man of 18 that some day he'll be as dumb as his father is." On happiness, Mr. Jensen said, "happiness begins with a good self-image. Granted it may be over-done, but it is essential." essen-tial." "Mark Twain said it" "Keep away from people who try to be-little your ambitions. Small r n WHI i 1 ,i i .i-ih V .

"It isn't the mountain ahead that wears us out-it's the grain of s;inil in our shoes. The little disappointments, the little troubles, trou-bles, the little problems are often of-ten the toughest to beat.' Mr. Jensen quoted James Mason Brown as saying "no person per-son is as uninteresting as a person without interests. The pitiful people are those '"bo in their living elect to be spectators specta-tors rather than participants; the tragic ones are those sighteers who turn their backs deliberately on the procession." "Manna is influence," Mr. Jensen wen! on. "Everyone exerts ex-erts an influence on those with whom he associates-either for good or for ill. "We influence people by what we are, by what we think and by what we say. Out of the abundance abun-dance of the heart, the mouth speaketh it has been said. The power of speech separates us from the animals. In the K.r7 page book titled "Treasury of the World's Great Speeches," the first speech came from a man who described himself as 'slow of speech and of slow tongue'. But his words moved a nation to leave their homes and march in the wilderness for forty years toward the promised land, his name was Moses." "Manna is love," Mr. Jensen said, continuing "there are at least three ways to describe love. There is the love named for Eros or cupid as know him today which is romantic love. There is the love of brotherhood as taught by Benjamin Franklin. Frank-lin. There is the love taught by the Savior. Those who lose their lives for His sake shall find them. In each case there is the necessity to put the interest of others before our own." Mr. Jensen concluded none of this iiiantia tan be saved io another day. "Time, ideas, hapiness, influence and love--to be of any worth they must be expressed and utilized today, or like manna, they will melt and bcome wormy in the heat of the day." Principal Con H. Brady gave the welcome to the gradutes, parents and friends at the baccalaureate bac-calaureate services. The invocation invo-cation was given by Judy Fullmer. Brenda Merkley presented a piano solo Chopin's "Fantasie Impromptu" and vocal solos "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Richard Rogers and "Climb Every Mountain" by Rogers-Hamerstein Rogers-Hamerstein were sung by Jack Larsen.
