FAITH F-A-I-T-H. What a small word! But the meaning is great. The dictionary says it means believing without proof, trust in other people. Faith is what America was built upon; it is the backbone of our country, our communities, our schools, our homes, and most important our religions. Where would we be now if it weren't for the faith of our ancestors in their fellow men as well as God ? Without faith in something it would be impossible to get along in this world. A new graduate would not be able to hold a job unless he had faith in other people and himself. There would be no job if trust were not placed upon the laboring people by the employers. What would have happened to our country in the beginning if the voters had had to have proof that a democracy would work in the United States before they would start a republic state? A home would not survive without the faith of the people living in it. Who would learn anything if the pupils didn’t have trust in those that teach them, or the teacher had no faith in what she was teaching? Of course, there would be no religion if there were no such thing as faith. Yes, in order to get along with our fellow men and other coun- tries we have to have faith. Maybe that is what is the matter with the world today. People have lost their faith in other countries, their neighbors as well as the most essential of all, God. Maybe that is why our sports aren't sports now, but fights. What are we going to do about it? Stay away from church, continue mistrusting people because of small petty things, have no faith in our cause to live, or will we find faith in people and the world through our church and God ?
