Out of this kind of moral in quiry can we not now take stock and head into the future with fresh determination and dedication? I believe we can. We must renew the American covenant; that covenant under which our forefathers estab lished a new nation and pur sued a dream. This covenant— this dream—has meant differ ent things to different people —but to all it has represented man’s inalienable rights to ex ercise freedom. This covenant must be re pledged by the individual, by the family, and in the home. It must be renewed in our churches and in our syna gogues. Above all, it must be renewed in our heart and with all our soul. As it was written of King Josiah of Judah in 622 B.C.E.: “And the king stood by a pillar, and made a coven ant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testi monies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were writ ten in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.’ We need — each of us — to make a commitment; to have a sense of commitment. We must each care. It is not for the other fellow to serve on the school or hospital board; it is not for the other fellow to serve his community and his nation. We both must — each in our way. Certainly, if we are not charged with seeing the United States a vital and pro gressive society in all its as pects, and a beacon of inde pendence to all those nations who wish to join with us as equal partners in the work of mankind — we can hardly ex pect other people to make the hard decisions that the high road to freedom and liberty will increasingly require. The Rockefeller Panel Re port No. VI had this to say: “Democracy is a powerful idea because it both assumes and is built upon the moral commitment of its supporters. It will require all the power this commitment can generate in the decades ahead to deal affirmatively and courageous- _ ly with the vast and pressing problems faced by all coun tries of today’s world.’’ It is my conviction that the American people are prepared to make this commitment; to renew the covenant. I am cer tain that it will be sustained by deep reservoirs of pioneer spirit and spiritual purpose. Best Wishes For The Rosh Hashonah Holidays Carla Qay Dress Co FACTORY 150 Garnett St., S. IV.
