"World Crisis"
Music is the force that binds us together regardless of our race, creed or color melodically we strive for universal harmony.Speak to me soft for my heart is so weary,so troubled I am by the world and its ways.

"Wisdom,Knowledge and Over-Standing"
Today,man sees all his hopes and aspirations crumbling before him.
He is perplexed and knows not whether he is drifting.
But he must realize that seeking the Truth is his only refuge,and the rallying point for all Humanity.
In the Truth he will find the solution of his present difficulties and guidance for his future actions.
The wisdom of this World is foolishness with God the Creator,and unless one accepts with clear conscience the Truth,he cannot hope for Salvation.
Leaders are people, who raise the standard by which they judge themselves- and by which they are willing to be judged. It is important, however, to remember that leadership does not mean domination. The true leader is one who realized by faith that he is an instrument in the hands of God, and dedicate himself to be a guide and inspirer of the nobler sentiments and aspirations of the people.
There is no energy in this World,including that of an Atom that cannot be controll.
However,there is no scientist on earth who could ever controll,even for a second the flow of Time.
(H.I.M.Emperor Haile Selassie I, at the Univ. of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, June 12,1969)
