PA K LEY SPKAKK TO YOUNG DEMOCRATS , (Continued from page one) have done -it half as well. The right to criticize the Presi dent has its roots deep in the Am erican system of government and jio one who sincerely believes in democracy would lift a finger to curb or abate that right. Very of ten it serves a useful purpose. Yet' I should like to point out that many of the most vocal critics should thank their lucky stars that the man at' the helm in these trying times has been Franklin D. Roosevelt. Had the destiny of the country been in weaker hands, these dissatisfied individuals might have found themselves far worse off than they are today. Does any one contend that if the Kepubli can candidate of 1936 had been elected to the White House, the United States would be better off than it is toddy? Does anyone se riously contend that he was equip ped to perform the exacting du ties of the Presidency better than the present Chief Executive? Every nation in the wbrld has felt the menace of chaos and so cial upheaval in this changing per iod, and no nation has come through the crisis in better shape than the United States of Amert ca. We were fortunate to have a leader who. sensed that this age was touched with destiny and the vision to meet the situation be fore ill was too late. I submit that the basic reforms of the Roosevelt Administration will never be un done. What are the things for which President Roosevelt has consist ently fought and labored? He said it was wrong for the farmers to live on the verge of poverty and he has done everything in liis po wer to lift the buying power of agriculture. "He said it was wrong to compel worthy men and women to work for less than a living wage. He said it was wrong for speculators to gamble without restraint with other people's mon ey. He said it was wrong to aban don the unemployed to their own luckless fate. He said it was wrong to let the old folks face the twi light of existence without security or financial independence. For all of these great evils, he has sought the remedy, and in doing so, he has won the hearty acclaim of every right-thinking citizen in the land. u ricaoirul (WuacvtMi ll?? gncu new hope aud encouragement to millions because he has consistent ly raised a mighty voice in their behalf.

This is the permanent plat form of the Democratic Party and this is the message which you and I and every single worker in the party organization must bring home to the electorate between now and next election day. Tell the voters t4iat the ideals of Jef ferson and Jackson still live in the works and accomplishments of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

April 16, at 3 o'clock in the Bunn High School auditorium the Rev. Char les B. Howard. Professor of The ology. at Campbell College, prea ched the baccalaureate sermon to 39 seniors who will receive their diplomas on Monday night. A'pril 24. Mr. Howard brought to the Sen iors an inspirational message ou I "The Game of Life" using as his : text Timothy 2-2:5. He compared the Game of Life to baseball as he brought out t?he fact that peo ple must play that game according to certain principles, ji^st as one | plays baseball. He made this comparison more specific by four points: "First, " he told the seniors, "you musb play the game fair. Above all, be ionest in all your activities." Mr. toward reminded them that it was | letter to be honest and lose than o be dishonest and get- by. "To play the Game of Life you nust play hard," continued the peaker. He entreated them to i ight and fight hard at the game { nd to always appear cheerful to he outside world even though i roubles might appear to make I hat difficult. "A good player." he went' ou. must know and obey the rules." ' n baseball the nine men learn low to play and then play. As a last reminder Mr. Howard >rought out this fact- to the sen ors. "you must always obey your Captain." He illustrated this point >y the baseball player who al hough he hesitated at first, obey ed his coach and made it possible or the home to win. "Your Cap ain," he brought out. "is Jesus. 3bey Him ? Always." Mr. Howard pointed out that if ;he seniors would play the Game jf Life fair, play it hard, know :he rules, and obey the Captain just us a baseball player plays his game the Game will be won. ? - Before Mr. Howard delivered lis sermon, Miss Faustina Shear jii and Miss Helen Edwards sang ?Still As The Night."
