For Commencement . . . 1941
-Soon the mails will be filled with
ijr white envelopes carrying very
pecial invitations . . . The So-and-So
High School, the iSuch-and-Such Col
lege, requests the honor of your
presence at their 10th or 25th or
00th annual commencement. And
f on will be saying, "it doesnt seem
possible that little John or Mary, or
Helen or Guy, is old enough to be
graduating. Let's see, what shall 1
lend'fyr a present."
But jthere is something more im-
fwrtant you can do for John or Mary
nan sending them a billfold or com
act mth your congratulations. You
an remind them of what a challenge
t is to be starting out in the world
ft A time like this, when half the na-
;ions are at war and the United
fftates itself at work on Defense
rith almost a million and a half men
il uniform; with taxes mounting and
uncertainties increasing.
It is not a pleasant time to get
ptarted, although there are plenty ot
obs this spring of 1941. For there
fcre Problems as trrave as anv this
liationThas ever faced. And the boy
r girl who finishes school this spring
vill be plunged into the turmoil of
me of the great crises of history.
: We are at work on the greatest
irnwnent program in the history oi
this 'country. We are training a
treat army of men. But we must not
fcnly make America strong enough
to resist any physicial atrtrression.
We must rebuild our faith in Demo
racy and the American way of life
t we are to continue to be a country
Ivhere men may speak as they please
l-even if we don't agree with them;
Kere we choose by ballot the men
o shall govern us and where we
iduct our business in the way we
pee fit as long as it doesn't interfere
Ivith the rights of others. So the
poy, or girl, going to work this
Bpring, will count not only as anoth
er pajof hands to help with Defense
but as a citizen whose belief In
4.mencanism will help to bring it
lafely through this emergency.
America has always been the lano
ht opportunity. The oppressed peo
ples o$ the earth have turned to it
their despair and thousands of
them have come here to find a better
life. It must continue to be the land
of opportunity for them and for us
the country which will be the first to
realize the true brotherhood of man
that is possible in a land where the
mass production of a free industrial
system makes possible an abundance
of the good things of life for every
body. That is the situation which young
people finishing school this spring
will have the privilege of helping to
develop. For we have reached the
end of an epoch. We are at the be
ginning of something new and some
thing better. With the increase in
our productive capacity we will be
able to realize the real destiny ot
America if we continue to build on
the same foundation our forefathers
used. And that is inevitable, for as
Mr. C. M. Chester, noted industrial
leader, said recently, "the American's
love of liberty, demand for oppor
tunity and faith in the cherished in
stitutions of Democracy are as sound,
as new and as precious today as they
were in the days of Washington,
Jetterson, and Franklin."

St John's Episcopal
Church, Richmond, Va.,
