EDITORIAL

The world of our generation is a world that has almost lost its convictions and ideals. Apathy, doubt, and uncertainty have settled upon our minds and hearts, so that many have lost their faith in science, man, and God. In this darkness and chaos which is the world that we have inherited, let us, at least, who have not had our lives too dreadfully shattered by war, keep our eyes upon those ideals which we have learned are true and everlasting, hold fast to our belief in the dignity and worth of the human person; and face our lives with courage and conviction. For, let us realize, that this, our age, is only a fragment in the great pageant of history; Soon, as every other age has done, it will pass; fading away into legend when viewed by our successors, down the long dim vistas of time. And time, so long as to seem almost eternity, stretches before our planet, if no accident befall it. Therefore, though the intellect- ual and moral achievements of the human race may seem small when viewed from the present, viewed from this eternity, the human race has achieved much in a very brief space of time. The desire to live in harmony has now truly permeated the hearts and minds of the mass of men, if not of their leaders. We are living in a troubled transition period, let us hope that we can fashion a world where beauty and hope exist for all. If all the world hope and wish and act for this end, the force of their concerted action, the strength of their firm belief must and will make itself felt. 13
