Today Is Tomorrow

ERE is tomorrow! Since history began men have followed the star of hope, chased rainbows, and sought the silver lining of the cloud. Utopian life was just over the horizon. Before and during the war we have dreamed of the Promised Land that would exist tomorrow. Now comes the proof that there is no need to wait; tomorrow is here today! Not only the future, but the present is bright if we will catch up with it. We continue to live in yesterday while our today has become tomorrow. Ideals were postponed during the war. They have been postponed on a universal scale for four centuries or more. Neither society nor an individual breaks down overnight. It takes fifty years for a new idea to take hold in the American school system, and we recognize time as an important element in both disintegration and in reconstruction. We may find another four or five centuries have elapsed before the human race begins to approximate our long desired international relationship if we do not act now. Peace has finally come, but if we do not make use of the present moment, we are only postponing the dawn of the age of world brotherhood. Neither you nor I canprophesy the future, but I make an exhortation for the present. Let us use our historical perspective to achieve desired results in present-day living.
