From MI2. FEDQI LL r w'rr5-nz, FOUNDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE From time immemorable the foundation of civw ilization has been either the home, the church, or the school. At times, as at present, all of these have been indispensable. As civilization progresses, a greater responsibility comes to rest on all three, and each must be strengthened. Today's world finds each of these tions intact in our part of the world, dictators have blasted or are blasting in other lands, Only by united effort of honorable nations can we save these dations for the future, Hence, we are founda- but the at them on the part great foun- looking with anxious eyes and prayerful spirits to our fighting men on land, sea, and in the air, and we shall strive to help them save these three, When the war has been won and these founda- tions have been saved, our task will have just be- gun. For, if we do not want these foundations to decay, we must continually strengthen and use them Lest our men might be fighting in vain today, we should now pledge ourselves to the building of a greater civilization--not a national civilization, but a world-wide civilization free from want, feag hate, greed, and undergirded with love, honor, in- dustry, and mutual Christian good-will, Q.Zf av: vp Y ,.-v ?
