The sermon to the graduates was
delivered at the high school auditor
ium last Sunday night by Rev. c. A.
Shilke, pastor of st. Marks Lutheran
church.
Rev. Shilke spoke on "Life Invest
ments." In part he said:
"What we need today is the revival
of our obligations as citizens, which
involves not merely political, but fl
nancial, social and religious obliga-
tions as well. Much of our present
thinking is based on propaganda
which is readily accepted as fact.
"When the gradute today asks HIM
self, How shall I invest my life?' do
as Paul the Apostle suggests and for
get what is past and press toward a
goal. The goal must be to get away
from the pursuit of wealth and pleas
ure in order to give real service for
others. The greatest thing in the
world is the human soul, and life's
greatest investments must be to de-
velop that soul.
eff you would be leaders of tomor-
row you must catch the ideals OF
mans needs and throw yourself into
the gap. The key to a well invested
life is to find in your own life the
worthy and give it direction, follow
what you find to full satisfaction, use
what is at your command in an hon
orable way, give in service and have
character.
"Give the best you have and the
best will come back to you," Rev
Shilke concluded.
