childish clements are lost out of 1t, and 1t 1 becomes in the manly man pure love inn 1 pulse. We must deny our God given nature. l therefore, if we throw love aside and thus turn knowly into minister to guide our sel. | fshness. We have only to follow along the l line of the development of ourselves, on the l other hand, in order to realize in our | own lives the working of the two powers or elements in union with each other. The l outgoing impulse as naturally will take with 1 itself the gift which the incoming knowl- | edge has decreed for the mind, as it will It. self go out from the souls center. The inc coming knowledge in it's turn will naturally yield itself to the movement of the impulse, even as according to the law of its life, 1t has it's own movement inward. And when the two being thus in harmonious union the man seeks for himself to the end that he may give to others, he knows In his own soul that life is worth living, and why 1t is 60.
 Fellow-students of the graduating class It seems as might almost forget the interval between your undsr-graduste career and my own, and speak to you as one of your own number at this hour. The college life. lenR- continued as it has been in my experience of it, had beginning fer me alss, when It be- gan for you, and we have moved forward to- What has the life brought to usi Many things, I am sure, in which we shall rejoice, as we find the privileges and blessings ef the coming time, rising out of them, or resting upon them. Many things slse which, though passing away in themselves because the years have passed, will awaken l delightful rscolleotions and devout thankful- ness to God. But chief among all the gifts, and central as related to the university life, are the gifts of which I have been speaking: l The university has taught us tho lessons of | knowledge and love-the tive great things of the mind and soul. By the former 1t has l fitted and furnished us for the work before us. By the latter 1t has made us willing to de the work. The years here end for you, with the repetition of these lessons in the last words which are spoken to you. They pass into tho eozaing year for | me also, with the utteranoe of the same l teaching. Let as ask ourselves, you In your turn and I in mine, how we may best uss the lessons and the teaching for the manly l life of the future. The answer to our ques- ton we, may well seek for with earnestness, for l will be discovered where the apostles disoov- cred 1t, in the words and daily living of the great teacher who frat made known to man
 the true significance of the manly life. It was Jesus who revealed the truth to the apostle,
 and who made him, through its transform
 ing power, one of the grand men of the
 worlds history. And the same revelation is I
 it's result. As the divine messenger Jesus
 brought the divine message. 1t was a life
 giving message, which told of the centra forces of the soul as stirred by divine im- pulse.
 With the deepest interest in your well
 being in all the coming years, and in the far
 reaching period beyond them, I would point
 you, therefore, at this farewell hour, to the
 same great teacher, even the Lord Jesus
 and I would bid you learn of him and ini.

 tells us, will be but the time of tho partial
 things and tho things which pass away.
 They will be shert in duration for all of you
 and very short for some of yeu. It is the
 future beyond them which will be your abid.

 At the gateway of that future love stands.
 Under its guidance only shall we enter the
 gateway, and gain thereafter the psrfsotness of kno 1ledgs and tue blessings which awaits
