*Sf> A McCORMICK MESSENGER^ McCORMlCK, SOUTH CAROLINA Thursday, Oecemher 4 ? 1 1941 v > y v:r7 ? n.’' ', V ’ _ " >* • >. > UNITED—in Soul Searching Ideals " - ' -- 4 ./ ' . Y OU’RE confused by the cross currents of world affairs, by uncer tainty about the future? Sure you are, Mr. Smith. You are going through an experience unlike anything you have known before. And it makes you none too happy. But, frankly, that unhappiness is not without a comforting thought. For years a good many of us, millions of our fellow Americans, had become too indif ferent for our real good—and ideals, yes, American ideals were some thing only vaguely connected with our lives. Yet now wh&i you find yourself alone and thinking about this world of hleeding hearts, you somehow wish there was something hard and firm a man could cling to—something that wouldn’t melt away like riches and false pride, or like that dish of ice cream you had for dessert tonight. ^ You need something, Mr. Smith. You haven’t realized it before, perhaps, because you’ve had pretty fair security. Never rich, of course, but compared to those poor devils in’Poland and France and Greece you were a king. That was before you saw America threatened, before they made a soldier out of Junior and began to get excited about this national defense business. It’s a fine thing to he an American, Mr. Smith, but doggone it, there are too many people in your frame of mind nowa- days—people who are groping for something to get their hands —something hard and firm! :. ;. Those Pilgrims had it back in 1620. Remember? It took some thing to sail a rickety little ship across the Atlantic when you knew that your only deception would come fr6m hostile Indians, when you knew that hunger and mayhe even death lay in the cards. Those barefooted, frozen, starving wretches had it at Valley Forge, too, something they could cling to. That “Something” is kind of an American heritage,* we guess. It gave Lincoln courage, and it tramped across the western prairies beside pioneer wagon trains. Know what it is, Mr. Smith? We call it—Faith. < You see. Faith is what gives strength, without which all the air planes and soldiers and machine guns in the world are useless. Faith is what makes you get up when they knock you down. Faith in the eternal values. Faith in Divine justice and in the blessings of a UNITED States of America, a nation indivisible, dedicated to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Faith in soul searching ideals. You can get your hands on Faith. Won’t you try it?
