The Christian vision and aim of re-
deemed society, however, IS plainly par.
of a purpose which looks very far beyond
material results. AZ society is the neces-
sary medium for the completion Of men,

much human redemption is in your power.
| will remind you ohce more that brains
and theories never rescued any man from
sin to righteousness. Will foFewarn you
that this world is hard place for hard
hearts to DO in. | will repeat TO you that
the world has had its truths and its philoso-
phies and its moralities and its philanthro-
pies aud its religions ever since 1t has had
its men; but that the only redemption the
world ever had is in that self offering love
which Jesus glorhed.
If your lives are disappointment to
yourselves and your frienis; if you do less
than you and we today hope towards
the establishment OF the kingdom of right
eousness, il will be because you cheat your
righteousness of its redemptive element of
love. The college has done its best To
direct you to Yards that element Of right
eousness which wisdom supplies, but, after
all, the leepest thought c. the college, with
respect to every student, is that of the
apostolic prayer--that Christ may dwell
in your hearts by faith that you, being
rooted and grounded in love, may be able
to comprehend with all saints what is the
length, and breadth and depth and height;
aud to know the lave Of Christ which

Fortified with the answer TO this prayer,
nav your lives illustrate the proclsms non
of Daniels vision and they that be wise
shall shine as the brightness of the frma-
ment, and they that turn many to right
eousness. RS the stars forever and ever.
In the evening Rev. James McWhlnnie,
Cambr;dgeport. Mass. preached the annu-
al sermon before the Boarlmsn Missionary
Society taking his text from Phil. 1928.
..he speaker dwelt on the necessity of perfect
faith in Jesus and the good results arising
therefrom. There are two important things
in the world The starry heavens above
man and the sense OF duty within man.
Unite with this sense Of duty, love for and
personal faith in Christ, We have type
Of honest christian manhood Everything
