They know what a jour¬ ney it is and how difficult the exit is to find. They know the way is dark, and rough, and some doors hard to reach. They know, not all, of course, no one does. Still they care enough to share with the so-journers of today the wis¬ dom they once gleaned in their passage. They show us the way to doors they know how to unlock and hold open, and point out ways to find and open others. They do all of this for the satisfaction of accomplishing what they set out to do; to provide a clearer way along which we might walk, to hold open doors which were once held open for them, and to open new ones that we might find more in the way of experience, too. All of our leaders work for tomorrow through us. And we often show, in return, distaste for their earnest, disobedience for their efforts. Instead we should thank them for showing us the way, thank them for giving their lives for the purpose of holding open the opportunities of learning. And we shall someday. Thank them. 16
