A Prayer for Youth

Lord God, bless all young people. In a world that can get confused, help them to keep clear heads. In a world that has known corruption, help them to keep clean hearts and bodies. In an age that needs courage, help them to have the strength of honest conviction. And in an age that needs such conviction, help them to commit themselves to their churches, homes, communities, and to our nation. Without You, Lord, they could remain young - but immature. With You, they can grown mature and still keep the vigor of youth. Amen.

The Elephants of Society

Every nation in attendance at an international symposium on elephants had to deliver a report on the animals.

France report: “Two Elephants: A Study in Romance.”

America saw the economic values in: “Raising Elephants for Fun and Profit”

Great Britain had their own unique view: “The Elephant and the British Empire.”

The Canadian report was, of course, typically Canadian - “The Elephant: A Federal or Provincial Responsibility?”
