Excerpt from The Youth and the Nation: A Guide to Service
You, at this moment, have the honor to belong to a generation whose lips are touched by fire... The human race now passes through one of its great crises. New ideas, new issues - a new call for men to carry on the work of righteousness, of charity, of courage, of patience, and of loyalty - all these things have come and are daily coming to you.
When you are old ... however memory brings back this moment to your minds, let it be able to say to you: That was a great moment. It was the beginning of a new era... This world in its crisis called for volunteers, for men of faith in life, of patience in service, of charity, and of insight. I responded to the call however I could. I volunteered to give myself to my master - the cause of humane and brave living. I studied, I loved, I labored, unsparingly and hopefully, to be worthy of my generation.
