[Rev. Robert Cope, in a baccalaureate sermon, as quoted in the Morning Eagle, Wichita, Kansas]

Use your knowledge so that in the confusion of these times you may sound a clear trumpet call to other men. There are many notes which a trumpet can sound, but I am thinking of three which make a clear and ringing call:
