Waleiciory Tonight, we come to one of the greatest events in our lives. Until now, each of our lives has been care- fully watched and guided by those older and more experienced than we. We have drifted along, taking happiness and success as it came, with nothing to cause us really large troubles or cares. Life is more serious now, though, as we are about to go out into the world on our own. Although most of us do not remember the recent World Wars, we are told that they were the most deva- stating, destructive, and costly wars ever recorded in history. Following in its wake there was a great de- mand for builders to repair the damages. Today the world still desperately needs wise builders of every kind and description. And what is a wise builder? you may ask. Pos- sibly the question can best be answered by reference to the well-known story which pictures two builders, each of whom builds for himself a home. The first, or wise builder, constructed his house upon a very carefully selected and solid foundation. The second, or foolish builder, constructed his house upon the sand. He used no foundation or footings. When the winds, the rains, and the storms came, the first house was not affected by them. lt stood the most severe tests. Subjected to the same elements, the house constructed by the foolish builder was destroyed. lt lacked the strength and sta- bility to withstand the storms. The account does not say, but very likely, the house that did not endure was just as stately, just as beautiful and spacious, and just as comfortable as the first one. From the surface it would have been difficult to have recognized any difference in the two. However, the foolish builder had overlooked the first essential for any building, large or small. He had failed to provide o good foundation - a solid base for the super-structure. The wise man took additional time and expended extra money, effort, and thought in order to provide a sturdy base upon which to build his house. No doubt he experienced many discouragements and disappoint- ments. Often he was tempted to save time and money by altering or sliding around the foundation specifi- cations. By doing this he could finish more quickly the building itself. Probably he argued with himself that spending so much time on the foundation was foolish- ness because no one would ever know whether or not it was as it should be. Fortunately, persistence and common sense won out, and the house was built on a solid foundation. It is reasonable to believe that the foolish builder had approximately the same ambitions and desires, the same ideals and hopes for his home as did the man we have just observed. Surely he 'wanted his structure to stand, a thing of beauty and permanency. Let us as- sume that when he started, his intentions were of the best. The temptations along the way were great. He was not willing to pay the price to insure that his build- ing would endure. He fooled himself into believing that it didn't matter anyway. He took short cuts and unwisely eliminated essentials. His building looked nice when it was finished, but it was only a shell. When the storms came that house fell. Generally speaking, every individual is a builder. True, we are not all builders of houses or skyscrapers or bridges, but we are none the less builders. Con- sciously or unconsciously we are each a contributor to the building of a peaceful world. Hand in hand we build communities, cities, states, and our nation. Through our homes, our churches, and our schools we are building character. The endurance and thoroughness of these things will be determined to a great extent by the foundation we lay. We must look to the future and try to vision the ultimate costs of shoddy workmanship and be guided accordingly. We must realize that just as surely as it is essential that world peace be best for democracies, that character be built on the bed rocks of freedom, brotherly love, and the golden rule. If the specifications for our building call for generous use of these foundation stones, and if we adhere to those specifications, we can feel certain that we are wise builders, and that our building will endure. Tonight, is the laying of the foundation for our houseg an event not to be forgotten and laid away among our most cherished memories.
