Rev. Gordon Speer Points Out
SignpOsts lin Life For Seniors

"Signposts in Life as his theme
for the Baccalaureate Sermon for
the class of 1913 OF Lincoln Con
solidated High School Sunday eve
ming in the school gymnasium, Rev.
Gordon Speer. pastor of the Con
gregational Church pointed out:
There are three signposts that
have for US special significance in
war times as in peace times. One
signpost points toward the City
OF Athens; the second toward the
City of Jerusalem: and the third
toward the continent of North
America.
Athens stands for the educa-
tional side of life. for intellectual
discipline and cultural refinement.
The greatest Greek was a phlos-
opher.
Jerusalem stands for the salts
flying OF the souls aspirations, its
dearest hopes, its quest for the
Divine. The greatest Hebrew was
believer in God.
North America stands for OPP
portunity. idealism and service
The greatest American will be one
who thinks clearly, who believes
in God who follows the gieann and
who serves his fellowmen.
This is a new generation, but
the cry OF the human heart is ever
the same. There Is the same
yearning hunger for God in the
hearts OF the young people of this
generation as was in the hearts
of their ancestors. This is not
goddess generation. 1t is God
seeking generation. and by and by
through testing and suffering and
serving. it will be generation OF
God-finders
we need more than fine brains
and superb culture. We need
God. the. Great Reality. TO give
steadiness and sanity TO our brain
and courage and strength to our
bodies. We need God.
81 am living in large hope that
the young men and young women
in our high schools and colleges
and out on the battlefields Of the
world in these days will follow
uncharted ways to new world.
After describing what would be
found at the signs OF each post,
the speaker closed by saying: Il
have tried to tell you OF signposts
that point to Athens. to Jerusa-
lem and 10 North America. Every
one OF you may achieve a fine
culture in the intellectual and So
cial realms. Everyone of you may
know God and find a religion that
is morally stimulating and intel
lectually satisfying. Everyone of
you may follow the trail over the
wilderness wastes of waters and
woods to life OF creative and ven
turesome service for all mankind.
Go forth on the way OF high
adventure. Play your part intel
.ligently, reverently and courage.

Prof Mckay read an anniversary
message az the meeting in Ho-

We are now observing the ami

In doing so. We recognize with
grateful appreciation the foresight
and firmness OF those who laid the
foundation stones squarely on the
bedrock OF our hrst object. which
is 10 give primacy to the human
and spiritual rather than TO the ma
,terial values OF life.
We are celebrating also the
cumulative achievements OF each
succeeding administration. We are
acknowledging the great gifts Of
head and heart OF all those who in
the intervening years have made
constructive and lasting contribu-
tions to the stately superstructure
that has gradually been reared
upon the original liquidation.
Our debt of gratitude and ap.
probation may be expressed in
words but can be repaid only in et-
fectiye action that will translate
into vital and visible reality that
