The Voyageur of this generation. I assure you that man's courage and endurance and ability for work and faith are a metal too tried and proved in the fires and infernos of history to dissolve away into nothingness before the blast of a few menis anger. The world is at war. Though it is none of your making it must be fought out to a finish that you may get on to a better use of your heritage. It is your immediate affair. The doctor of preventive medicine does not throw up his hands and quit if disease comes. He resorts to a curative method that he may later get on with his work when the disease is past. Your heritage is great. The qualities of wonder, aspiration, imagination and discontent are still yours. Use them. Fire and the wheel and the axe are yours, the truths of the Greeks are yours if you dare defend them, the stainless moral garment of Christ is yours if you have the courage to put it on, the laws of Home are yours to save from oblivion, the power of science is yours to turn to a constructive end, the rights of man are yours to proclaim aloud in the public places. John Bright said to his generation 100 years ago '4You are the heirs of all the ages, you may stand on the shoulders of your forefathers and look over their headsfi The same applies to you in this hour. Count this war but as a mistake in the total life of man. A builder who places a brick awry does not give up and let the building fall. The mistake must be paid for, corrected, and the work must go on. Therefore, do not listen to the prophets of doom and gloom. Do not bemoan your lot, but count yourselves fortunate to be partners in this great undertaking, citizens of this wide city. As citizens you must pay your taxes of sorrow and hardship if you expect to share in the rewards of human happiness, human brotherhood, and that intangible satisfaction that is the rarest and greatest of all human joys -the service to a common cause, the sharing of a common faith, the knowledge that your courage and your strength, your muscle and your brain, your desiring and your aspiration, your hopes and fears, your love, your pity, your wonder are working toward a common goal, that these are placing you shoulder to shoulder, not with your generation only but with all the generations past and all the generations yet to be. So the great race of man will move onward, goaded by the whips of discontent, lured by beautyis retreating star, worshipping at the altar of a still veiled truth. And many will fall by the wayside, and many will shirk their job, and some will take wrong paths to oblivion, and whole generations will follow the prophets of false faiths to destruction. But the earth will go on and man will go on, and somewhere, someday, in an age a long way off, in a city you will never know, among faces you will never see, that strange creature, man, may find his answer.
