FROM THE PRESIDENT ' S DESK • • • Itallenae. a ti (yppot iunltu If it is true that new occasions teach new duties, then certainly we have great lessons to learn and gigantic problems to solve. It seems almost as if we had come to the end of a period in the history of mankind and that we are being rudely ushered into another. The transition is taking place on an unprecedented scale. Never in history have there been so many people held in political slavery, or so many millions under arms on the battle- fields of the world. The suffering of orphans, widows, and the homeless defies description. Civilizations, cultures, and religions have locked horns. A death struggle is on. Only rashness would lead one to predict the details and attendant circumstances of the end. It may be true that the Kingdom of God is never so near to us as it is in time of a crisis. Many of our old hopes and plans for a better world have been swept away. But when one foundation is obviously inadequate we seek another. In such a situation we now find ourselves. Circumstances compel us to seek a more enduring basis for the social order. The young people now in college and in high school as well as those who will come back after the conflict ends, will have an opportunity to participate in laying a foundation for a better world in which to live. Youth is becoming increas- ingly sensitive to the ideals of Christianity which enables them to work for a world brotherhood based upon the teachings of Christ. You who have so much of life ahead of you, the future is yours. There are challenging opportunities ahead for those who are brave and clean and ready. Pursue your highest ideals! Be loyal to the royal within thyself. ju AjLJIc Eight
