Every body is talking about the mess we have made here and there and everywhere. That’s silly stuff. Over the long and dark centuries, we have not made a mess. We have done and are doing a better job than anyone has a right to expect us to do. From the beginning we found ourselves alone in a big, dark universe. We were not only alone but were the only thing on this earth that could realize its loneness. We took a close look at the universe, and then centered our attention upon making some thing practical and useful out of it. First of all, we started with a darkness and a God. This God gave us a light, a sense of direc tion, and a goal to work toward. We began to set up our standards for living together. We discovered that gentleness and kindness were more desired than hardness and cruelty. We are for the most part honest and trustworthy. It is news when we find that something has been stolen from us. We are de cent most of the time, when we could just us easily be evil. With silence and mystery behind us and ahead of us, we are still happy. We make up gay little tunes and hum them. We look life in the eye, and smile. I like that, and ad mire people who do it. We have discovered beauty and love and cherish it. We have power and initiative to look at our environ ment and criticize it and improve it. We found that living with mil lions of people it was necessary that we set up a governing system. We have conceived the ideal of justice and plan it for all men. Knowing that we have to keep alive, we use our many abilities. Out of the earth we take food and improve it. We have, through the conturies improved light, heat and transportation.

Picked and brushed it for others to see. “No good can come of that,” they said, “A dirty case—no life—it’s dead.” But I knew of the mighty faith in good. And cared for it as best I could. Spring came. A life was moving within that wall, Surely my faith had not been Within an hour my reward was small, this; A beautiful thing that others miss Came from the walls like the faith I knew. Arrayed in beauty and crowned with dew. Life came. Can it be thus with a life lost at night. That love combines with faith to make a light, Beautiful, shining, glorious to be hold.

Every morning the necessity for the day’s work faces us. We go into it with courage and determi nation. We are now eyeing our neigh boring planets. It would not sur prise any one if man one day be gins to move among these planets. When something hard comes up, man works hard on the problem until he solves it. I believe he has no limit.
