The keynote around which the week's activities have been planned is Confidence. At no time in the world's history has there been a greater need of confidence than today. We are still facing an economic breakdown with much hardship and unemployment. Our old standards have been attacked, at-tacked, but nothing adequate has been suggested to take their place. There is ample grounds for discouragement. dis-couragement. But discouragement is a negative quality, it produces no positive results. Confidence means '"with faith." It implies a hopeful, helpful attitude atti-tude of mind the first essential of progress. It looks forward, not backward. Today we need confidence confi-dence that we as a people have the ability to solve the problems that confront us. Since women ai-e constantly achieving positions of honor and responsibility re-sponsibility in' the state and nation and since they have a persistent and hopeful attitude, It is fitting that they should do their part in helping to instill confidence into the minds of others. In our economic crisis, nothing vital has been lost; our national resources re-sources are still hi tact; our people still possess their skills and abilities. To every man and woman there exists in his or her community an opiKirtunity to make that town a better place in which to live. Let us have confidence that we can achieve this aim confidence in our neighbors, in ourselves and a never failing faith in God. "No vision and you perish, No ideal and you're last; Your heart must ever cherish Some faith at any cost. Some hopes, some dream to cling to Some rainbow in the sky, Some melody to sing so, Some service that is high." (Submitted by Mrs. Mary J. Cooper) |
