- THE MASTER’S PLAN It is often hard to understand, The workingB of the Master’s Hand. We sit and ponder why our dreams Become as ashes, and it seems That everything has turned to dust — We sometimes wonder why we trust. But, even in our deep despair We feel our Father’s loving care— A helping hand, a gentle smile. And we know that all the while In the Master’s plan we have a part In easing the ache in a weary world's heart. — Doria Garland CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP We are rapidly coming to the day when we shall have a hand in shaping the world of tomorrow.

We will want to help raise moral standards, increase social relationships and en courage Christian citizenship. Through friendship and good will we can rebuild universal faith; reestablish place for duty, kindness and useful effort, on the side of the higher, better and more kindly way of living. We can cooperate on ground where one loses only things in common; and we can im plant, as well as nurture, ideals of equality, charity, justice, morality, liberty, fraternity and Godliness in the hearts and minds of men. We shall need to build unity based not on our rights against each other but on our duties toward each other. We must provide oppor tunities for people to meet, irrespective of their race, creed or condi tion, where they may learn to understand—not to ridicule nor condemn. Where, in addition to brotherhood they may be encouraged to prac tice virtue, honor and mercy. And where they may be a universal spirit of cooperation—radiating reason to suppress prejudice, justice to harmonize disputes—that peace and civilization may prevail. We will need such a union of all peoples to guarantee individual liberty and initiative, to assure equal opportunity and free enterprise, to protect 204 THE CABLETOW
