gather gmbaeu ,J Jlfeuage .... ,Y l FATHER J. W. EMBSER, C.S.B. Principal Father Embser poses with two seniors beside the Catholic Central residence. We are living in an age of rapid change - change in every field of human activity. Men living today have seen the beginning of the automobile and the aeroplane, all the modern developments in electri- city and electronics have come in our day. lt is almost impossible to keep up with the changes and progress in medical science. ln the past year has come the development of the atom bomb and the harnessing of atomic energy which we are told will change the face of the earth. We have seen two great wars whose aftermaths have brought about tremendous changes. There are economic changes which challenge the greatest minds, and even moral standards are shifting, and today such social evils as divorce are accepted. In religion there is the break- down of Protestantism and the rise of lndifferentism and Atheism. Few generations are as interesting as ours, few centuries have presented as many prob- lems which challenge the best which is in us. ln all these changes, there are those which can be termed progress, which will help men spend hap- pier lives and aid in the saving of souls, there are those which make us wonder what their results will be. There are those changes too which we definitely feel will not help men live more happily and which will damage souls. How are we to judge all these changes and how are we to use them? When Our Lord came upon earth, He could see this restless era and He taught men truth which would be eternal and immutable, ever up to date, capable of enlightening men's minds and directing their wills. This truth is like the sun, it dazzles when we look directly into it, but it sheds its bright light on every problem of every age and we in using that light can find the correct solution for all problems. We can evaluate every change which appears upon earth. Our Faith will show us wherein lies real progress, and where men are so determining things that future generations will have to sutier. Today this Faith will direct us in the proper use of atomic energy and any other kind of power. You must live in this world of change, and in it your supreme problem is to save your soul by using properly all new things. You must, as the poet says, keep your head when all around you are losing theirs and blaming you. You can do it, for you have been trained in that truth by which all change can be measured and evaluated. You must see to it that your Faith be increased every day by constant use and practice, and then the light of your life brightly shining will show you and your neighbor how to find rest for your souls in this changing world. May your love for Jesus increase with your Faith, and may He love and bless you always. James W. Embser, C.S.B.
