four WO of the most difficult periods in which to ad- vise young people have been the depression and the present war. During the depression the task was difficult because there were so very few opportunities for young people graduating from high school. Dur- ing the present war it has been the opposite. There are so many things to do that it is a question of Which? rather than What? Both situations lead to problems whose solutions are difficult. This is especially true when the immediate future is so clouded. Events change circumstances rapidly. ln any situation one can find sound advice in the letter of Paul to the Philippians. lt is recommended for your reading. ln particular you should note that part in which he says, Wherever you find anything true or honorable, righteous or pure, loveable or praiseworthy, or if virtue and honor have any meaning, there let your thoughts dwell.
