Continuing the Quest

by Hugh B. Brown

As the violinist tunes each string until it responds with an individual tone, capable of harmonious response to a master's hand; As Handel and Mendelssohn placed symbols on paper which, when combined with poetic images, became oratories; As Cicero and Demosthenes used words with such discriminating skill as to make each one do its best and express an exact meaning and then wove them into great orations; As Milton and Shakespeare arranged incidents into immortal dramas and poetry; As Lincoln and Churchill held aloft ideals and inspired their countrymen to save their nations; So let us try to touch the lives of young men and women; to inspire each to do and be his best, to know that he is unique in God's handiwork and that his contribution is required in the immortal symphony-thus may we help create from life's raw materials something beautiful and everlasting and do it with the throbbing, pulsating, malleable souls of God's children and help him to achieve his avowed purpose-immortality and eternal life for all.
