We Have A Rendezvous With Destiny
Every day that goes by reminds us in some way of the
World Peace Conference now in session on the Pacific
Coast—yet, how many times, actually, have you taken a
personal interest in the goings on? You say you're busy, you
have nothing to do with the Conference anyway—that any-
thing you would have to say would be ignored. Today, yes,
but what of the future?
At this hour or moment, true enough, you cannot go rush-
ing out to the West clamoring in a loud voice before a gather-
ing of world leaders. That would be almost as ridiculous as
10 million others like you marching out with the same idea
in mind. This is no time for ranting. This is the time for
study, for watching, concentrating,planning and hoping!
In reality, each of us has an individual rendezvous ivith
Destiny. This thing called "Peace" cannot be manufactured
by a group of men, this thing called "Peace" cannot be
worked out in one day, one month or one year. Any great
power can upset agreements or proposals even as outstanding
as Dumbarton Oaks—all the treaties, the papers and the
signatures of the world cannot assure PERMANENT peace.
And, remember, this time you say it must be PERMANENT.
What we, the people, can do today is remember our rendez-
vous with Destiny, absorb and study both accomplishments
and difficulties of our World Conference and staunchly stand
our ground for peace, always. This thing called "Peace" can
only come from the soul of a country and its people; it must
be voluntary. So, the promises we make to ourselves today
will be passed on to our children and their children; those
same promises will become instilled within other nations—
and, united, what more could we want than a powerful world
of peace-loving people to follow in our steps?
