The Quest for the B est Text; Deut. 30;15,19- Scripture Lessonjproverbs 3;1-18 “Tonight we launch; where shall we anchor?” in this motto you have chosen the launching of a ship as the symbol of your graduation. The launching of a modern sea going vessel is a significant and festive occasion, expecially for those who have made the Investment of finance, of thought and labor in the designing, building and equip- ing of it. And as the little tug extricate her from the docks and tow her out Into the deep there is a mutual sense of pride and in- terest in this creation of their combined efforts. Your motto Is well chosen. Every graduating class represents the combined efforts of the school board, the faculty and the parents in preparing then to launch out into life's work. They represent our best contribution to society and the world of tomorrow. And there is a mutual sense of humble pride and interest in their graduation. The second phase of this motto is a pertinent question; where shall we anchor as we sail life's sea in the quest for the best? Every modern ship is equipped with four vital pieces of equipment that must be used. They are the compass by which we determine our bearings and directions, the rudder that guides the ship to a de- sired course, the engines which developes the power that drives the ship forward and the anchor that we throw out to hold the ship from drifting with the tide and waves. Each has a contribution to make that is important to safe sailing. It would be foolish to ignore or neglect any one of these four pieces of equipment of the ship. Our civilisation and the preparation of our lives individually to life at their best depend on the ministry of four institutions; The Court House, or Civil Government; the School for education; the Church where we get God's interpretation of life and the Home w’here we are nurtured to manhood physically, mentally, socially, and morally. It would be just as foolish and hazardous to ignore or neglect or not know how to use any one of these four as it would be the four vital pieces of equipment of the ship. Vie can do several things with our lives In this quest; V.Te can refuse to accept responsibility and run away from duty; Or we can be self centered and make a ship wreck of our lives; Or we can give our lives to God who can make much more of them than we can. Be your best and do your -:est and find the best in others. If you have trouble, bear it; if you meet danger, dare it? If you find happiness, share It. As you launch out into life In your quest for the best get your direction from Christ, the Prince of Life. Rev. Bates
