There i^ a pattern to life. Some
times it seems vague and indis
tinct. Sometimes we cannot see it
at all. But it is there—clear and
sharp if we can attain the proper
perspective.
Sometime swe have to g«t tap in
the air in order to look down upon
j ourselves. Not “down” in a dero
gatory sense, but frotn “above” in
order to get the full view of where
we are heading.
When we look down frrap a
plane, we see the whole 'country
side neatly spread out before use.
The smail uglinesses disappear.
What we see is beautiful in form,
geometric in outline, a shadinjf of
colors, eacii distince, fet creating
a harmonious whole. We see tjje
brown ribbons of the roads, thread
ing through the countryside, con
verging and diverging with relent-,
less logic. There is a sense of one- j
ness, of completeness. There are
no state lines or man-made bar
rier* of prejudice visible fsom the
r.
So it is in the present crisis. We
need to lift ourselves above the
stress of hatreds, the fever of con-
flicting beliefs, the honor of the
pestilence that is war.

into a united nation of loyal eiti-
zens who have at heart the survi
val of our nation, the good of all,
regardless of class, rkfte, creed or
color. We need to rise high enongh

out and the pattern of democracy
become plain.
When we come down to earth,
we musT keep this vision with ua.
For, while w«j have national unity
forged in the heat of emergen«f,_
we must take steps to protect and
preserve that unity throof^out the

has passed it will be a living force
