FAITH Since our young minds began to distinguish between right and v rong. wo have put the utmost faith in those wo loved, V hon taking our first steps, wo knew that our parents would not lot us fall. Prom that time they have taken care of us through sickness and health, giving all their attcntioiSL to make us the non and • ' . ' onen of the next generation, have taken these things for faith, slwogr.s knowing that our parents would not desert us. That faith has grown and expanded from the small family circle, to which v;o were confined during our early years, to those wo come in contact with every day, to our friends, and to the loaders of our state and nation, V c have faith in the teachers who have guided us through the twelve most important years of our lives. Their patience and under- standing have bridged many a. gap that night have led to destruction. Now as wo prepare to have the shelter of their guiding and protection leave us, we have faith that they have set us on the right road t o happ ino s s and success, Ac the ominous war clouds role up around us from Asiatic and European countries, we shudder to think of the inhumanity of it all. We can easily visualize the men and boys, who gave up tho comforts of homo and tho prosperity of a froc country In tho faith that all non should be brothers and that the world should bo made safe for democracy. In no time of war or peace has there been such a need of faith. We must have faith in our loaders who havo boon chosen to gniide us through this struggle v hich may oxtorminato man from tho earth. Above all we must have faith in God. His liand controls our every action, and without God wo are as nothing Fenton Carruth
