"Brethren, I do not count myself to have attained anything, but thn, one thing 1 do, forgetting those things which were behind and teaching foith unto those things befine, I press to ward the murk for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus,' nos the biblical verse ',lnch Mr Can Dusen used as the theism for his talk. "What we need," Ile declared, "is not snore sentimental religion but mote straight, hard thinking" I=l In the continuance of his topic, tne speaker declared further that what a person sees in life depends primal ily upon the way one looks, that the only difference was a difference in their eyes of vision, in their eyes of imagin ation. A person's outlook is not caus ed by a difference in facts but by a differeeeo in the interpretation of the facts. "To see the world truly, with all its dire, its struggle, its sordidness and beauty, to see and appreciate a desire, for the good, the pure, the noble," de clared lilr.
