CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES

AS the school year comes to a close students are faced with
the problem of trying to decide what arrangements they
should make to prepare themselves for their position IN lie.
This is a major decision to make with the world moving
at the high rate of speed that it is today. Men talking Of gong
to the moon, SO much unrest in every section OF the gloOe' anu
people trying to cause unrest of all kinds.
The world depends to a large extent on the decisions OF
these Young graduates. They must make their own decisions.
No one can do that for them. 1t is a hard decision TO MAKE
This is not the time for young people to think OF going to
the moon. but rather the time for them to make this earth a
better place for those who want to go to the MOON to come
back to.
The Lord gave each of you a will to use for something
good not to be used to try to out-do Him.
Congratulations to each of you on this important achleVe-
ment.
