Senror Gurdance THESE ARE THE TIMES THAT TRY MENS SOULS Frrst of all I worrld lrke to extend to you the class of 1954 my corrgr rtulfrtrons on the attarnment of another stepprng stone rn your path of lrfe It rs a trme you have long yearned and worked for smce rt means that you are now ready to find your place rn society Now let us trrrn to the above quotatron from Thomas Parnes now famous words from The Crrsrs He spoke these words at a time when rt seemed that the cause of freedom for which these proneers lr rd left the protection of their natrve country to seek the fulfillment of therr rdeals rn 1 new land was all but lost Do we not feel thrs way today? Instead of the danger of must meet the evrl forces of socralrsm of communrsm rn partrcular whrclr repre sent the threat to our system of free en terprrse and American way of lrfe tod ry The struggles whrch we are engaged rn today those of Patrick Henrys day even those struggles between these trmes be fore these trmes and the struggles to come those of natrons or rndrvrdual are a re sult of mans attempt to satisfy himself There rs wrthrn us all r hunger constantlx seekrng somethrng Thrs hunger I believe rs the soul whrch rs the same rn all men srnce rt lS grven by Cod and returns to Hrm when the physrcfrl body frlls by the wayside The envrronment whrch the soul hrs makes the requrrements for rts satrs frctron different for all of us This rs the rc rson for so m rny differ ent relrgrons over the world There 13 rn the tefrchrng of every relrg ron and every government fr peaceful nrerns of settling rts problems However there seem to be too many leaders of rr rtrons and exen relrgrons who because they have not srtrsfied the hungerrng of their own souls are not capable of seek mg solutions to the problems of the groups of people they lead We the groups of people who are berng led are no help because we dont know the answers erther The first step rn the solutron of our drvrdual to decrde what would satrsfy hrm then to vary thrs decrsron rn the lrght of wh rt IS best for hrs natron and finally to analyze and revrse these prrncrples rn the lrght of what rs best for the peoples of the world I honestly believe th rt thrs rdea would be a workable substrtute for the rmpend mg wars whrch threaten us today Is rt not up to us as one of the leadrng world powers to start such 1 program? Is rt not up to us as the rndrvrduals who com prrse the greatest democracy the world has ever known to start the ball rollrng so we m rv enjoy the peace the whole world longs for?
