Advice To
Graduates
com-when
In this season of
encement ' oratory, .
e voune people of the na-
. : nn nwn Lninrt r . Inno on4
luyu ate uciug given iwiw miM
tans of advice, we add our
v4rds of wisdom.
We would say to the
ytung men and Vwomen that
they should guard against
making the mistake that sets
the acquisition of money as
the first objective of their
human activity.
We would, next, urge them
to seek an understanding of
the expression that happiness
is to be found within them
selves, rather than in other
people, or external forces. .
Thirdly, in their youthful
zeal and enthusiasm, remem
ber that the world is an old
place, populated by an anci
ent race, and that human re
lationships and customs are
not to be lightly challenged,
or changed , overnight, or
thrown into the garbage
can. -
The last piece . of advice
would be to induce them to
seriously set their own val
ues upon all things and, once
convinced of the real , value
of anything, that they live
their lives on the basis of
their honest appraisal.
The Drowning
Season
The approach of swimming
weather brings to mind the
fact that each year some
thousands of persons drown
because sensible precautions
were not followed by the
victims.
The following rules bear
repeating:
1. Do not go swimming too
early. :
2. Use supervised pools. .
.Stay ashore in heavy
weather.
4. Keep children out of
boats not equipped with
life' preservers, or with
out swimmers aboard.
5. Teach children to swim
early.
One other word of caution
is the suggestion that you
try one of several floating
techniques when next in the
water. ' Many can learn, to
float indefinitely without any
effort if they will hold their
head back so that only the
nose) is above water.
Supply learning how to
float, may even someday
save your life. .
Traffic Accidents
Traffc wasn't much of a
problem a few centuries ago.
But then the individual be
gan to assert himself. , He
acquired a horse, later a
wagon and if he made
enough money he bought an
other horse, one with better
lines and more speed and a
buggy for him to pull.
The automobile,, mass pro
duction, easier financing and
better roads brought on a
revolution in transportation.
Traffic began to get some
what congested.'
And it was about this
time that we began fighting
each other and having
wrecks on the highways.
One of the deplorable, at
titudes that lead to traffic
accidents and suffering is
our inborn ' competitiveness.
We compete with nature,
with other countries, with
each other, and in so doing
we've become a mighty na
tion. But there are limits
to this competitive spirit.
Everyone knows the type
who simply can't let down.
In cards he's always out fori
blood, his business' and so
cial obligations are met ag
gressively. He 0 doesn't ex
pect anything from nv
else and he surely isn't giv
ing anything.
The pusher thinks a "roll
ing" stop at a stop sign is
okay, if he can make it
across an intersection ahead
of other ears. It would nev
er occur to himt to make a
complete, legal .stop and
wait a handful of seconds.
The pusher doesn't mind
brushing back pedestrians,
either. Whether they are
legally in a crosswalk or
he's coming out cf a service
station and they are on the
sidewalk in front of him, he
will boom right on through.
Bicycle riders he treats with
equal disdain.
But when he meets an
other pusher who manages
to beat him 'tit' his own
game, he squeals like a
stuck pig, indignant at the
other guy's bad manners.
According to the Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles this
is delinquent driving. Sum
med up it means: Follow
ing too closely. Cheating a
little on traffic lights. Some
times going over, the speed
limits. Trying to bluff the
other fellow at intersections.
These are thoughtless and
selfish acts. They mark well
the delinquent driver, the
pushy driver, the accident
maker.

Today the theme of
lesson is in regard to
opportunities . and response
Diiities we nave when we
are confronted by our own
sins and the sins of society,
Up until now we . have
been studying the life
David in his splendid man
hood; his wisdom and sense
of fairness and his sense of
responsibility as a leader of
his people chosen by God.
In this lesson we are made
acutely aware of the fact
that David was a mortal
man, such as we are , and as
such, was extremely vulner
able to sudden temptation,
It is a remarkable fact that
the Bible records the evil
along with the good; thus
we see that most of the men
of great stature in Biblical
times had their weaknesses
and their failings. Tempta
tion came to them just as it
comes to us today ,and then,
as now, the sins of just one
person can bring tragedy to
the lives of many. David
coveted the wife of another,
and for this he paid dearly.
as Nathan, the prophet, had
warned. -
Nathan, charged by God
to confront David with his
sinful acts, approached the
matter obliquely; he used
the parable of the one ewe
lamb. David, incensed 1 at
such injustice, roundly con
demned the rich man in the
parable, and this gave Nath
an the openings for which
he sought. One can only
imagine the shock David felt
when he saw the truth of
Nathan's charge.
It is a human failing that
we see the faults of others
more easily than we see our
own. But, it is much to
David's credit that he ac
knowledged his sin and re
pented. It takes a great man
to do that, and to stand up
to the consequences of a
sinful, act. This David did,
and was forgiven of his sin,
although that did not avert
the punishment that was to
befall him.
Here is another lesson for
us to learn; confession and
repentence will, by God's
own covenant, restore the
sinner to grace. It will not,
however, undo the harm that
has been done, and the na
tural consequences of a sin
ful act must be borne.
Sin and God are always
on opposite sides. God hates
sin but loves the . sinner
enough to send his only be
gotten Son to die an agon
izing death on the cross in
order to save mankind. No
greater proof of His love
could be offered. He is a
merciful and forgiving God,
but we must never lose sight
of the fact that he is also a
just God.
For what sins is he judg
ing us? Are we selfish with
our possessions, and careless
of the possessions and Tights
of others? Are we condon
ing wrongs in our society
that we would not condone
individually? Is the "herd
instinct" blinding us to what
is right and what is wrong?
Collective sin is just as bad
as individual sin in God's
eyes. But in this case re
pentance cannot come from
society it must come from
the individual, because, in
the final analysis, individuals
make up society.
Society .has its problems
today. Because we are so
ciety, the problems are ours;
and while we, as individuals,
may have had no hand in
the making, still the fact re
mains we are the ones who
must do " something about
them. David was the serv
ant of God; it was only af-i
ter he repented of his sins
that he was restored to God's
service.
How much of a parallel
can the story of David find
in our lives
