ddditoriaf IN THE FUTURE Our world today, challenges our faith and determination. Because of the modern pressures of life, we are put to enduring tests and it is up to us to be assured and determined to defeat these trials. The people in this advanced era of ours are agitated with fears, jealousy, sorrows, and uncertainty. Our only hope to solve our personal problems is to turn wholeheartedly to our Creator, God. We should trust and have faith in Him, for it is He who watches over us and guides us when we have no-one else to turn to. Let us try to stop the nervous turmoil of our minds, and make room for Him and realize that his healing love is always around us. We all know that sooner or later our companions and acquaintances will take part in the different trends of life, some to serve our country, and some to serve the public. With them goes success or failure. What is the best trail to success? Everyone of us must study earnestly the past, not only to learn what has happened in history, but, to be cautious against the mistakes that have been made and make sure that they are not repeated. To achieve the goal, we must constantly keep before us our high aims. At this critical time, we will all go forth to live lives that are full of promise and enthusiasm. It’s all there, but we do have to put forth some time and effort to obtain it. To attain success, we must do our noblest, our best. This may seem to us an ordeal, but look at all those who have succeeded in life. Instead of depression this is the time for enthusiasm, energy, and animation. These traits are a necessity if we are to avoid downfalls in our personal affairs and business lives. Page 8
