Then ' said the Brangellst, pointing with his finger over a rery wide field; “Do you see yonder wicket gate?” The man said, “No." Then said the other, “Do you see yonder shining light?” He said, “I think I do.” Then said Evangelist, “Keep that light In your eye, and go up directly thereto, so shalt thou see the gate, at whicn when thou knockest, it shall be told that what thou shalt do.” OMha «)W standard ^ ,^rtB^|,ies for the train fMd~ vall'conoelTied method of ohartmtaV hufl^g. ’ Notice that these S p^ltars of clvtlisation as 1 have ealled them affect'youth. 4^ The changes wnieh a post-war sge has eftaeted In these three vital matters are beyond our power to measure or adeqaately sppraise.

Take it by and large the situ ation that faces us is fraught with manifold difficulties and seemingly insoluable problems. The home, the school, and the church were once rp.garded as the strong an indispensible Pil-^ lars of our civilization. We measured our growth tiy these standards, and our neigh- horg appraised us tiy the consist- ency with whicli we ad'.iered to them. ’ Th^ three It's of education ^ were fundamental to all int^llec- , tual training and mental develop- ^ ment. • The well conceived disciplines of an orderly home were the ^ sure, signs of domestic decency and a consistently observed Sun- », day with its quiet and reverence our generation when the demand was greater for sober, serious thinking as to the heritage w€ are rapidly liestowiny upon youth who quickly pass the milestones Youth may drink, but youth docs not manufacture liquor. | Youth by its very nature Is clean and uncontaminated until | It observes onr ways and devices. for straying from the path of. honor, decency, and uprightness., In this day of new adventures, i new deals, there are three prin-, ciples. conventions, if you would j call them that, that we dare not depart from if we would heed the challenge of the times and again restore to their prominent places those virtues of honorable, decent, ami uprightness. | These bulwarks of our civil!-, zation are the school, the home, ^ ami the church. i In time past I have discussed with you the first, the school, so ^ at this time suffice it for me to j sav that the woman who because, of the love of her duties stands | before her class of pupils dally—^ is one of the greatest influences | for good in the lives of our chil dren.

We are strenuously and labor iously trying to dig ourselves out of the deep pit into which a world war with its attending dis asters plunged US.
