Says Nation Needs Them "Our country needs you. It needs your dissent as well as your dedication. But it needs you in its continued existence as a land where freedom is recognized as a gift from God for the good of all. "America can only be destroyed by an abuse of the principles upon which it was built. When freedom of speech is turned into the yell of the mob; when freedom of the press become propaganda; when freedom of religion becomes self-idolatry, then all freedom shall die.

Love your country, not blindly, but boldly; when she is wrong, correct; when she is right, defend but love it always." Calls Them 'Salt of Earth' Concluding his sermon, Father Hannigan told the graduates, "You are the salt of the earth. We expect you to flavor the tastelessness which premeates the society in which we live. As you go out to flavor the world, to light it and to lead it to peace, always keep in your heart and mind the prayer of St. Francis." The Rev. Mr.

Difficult Challenge Father Hannigan said every graduating class receives the annual challenge to go out into the world and try to make it better.

"Never has the challenge been so difficult as now, nor its fulfillment more necessary.
