A. of the College, The text was from
Men Shall See Visions" The subject
was treated eXhaustively. The speaker
said in part:
The two fold vision must be three fold
to be complete. The true vision of self
and the significance of life comes. ONLY
with the vision of human lives all around
us. True vision of the meaning of hui.
man life in its needs and possibilities
gives the vision of the relations in which
we are set. of the possibilities of useful.
ness, of service lying before, and is a
voice that calls to highest. noblest living.
But the three fold vision needs yet
another to complete it, that which will
| give meaning to all the rest. The greater
need of every life is to see Christ and be-
hoving them not to be disobedient unto
the Heavenly vision, as you behold H i'm
towering above men, the llingliest, bra
vest, the flawess Crystal. Christ" He
challenges the loyalty of every noble soul
Here the speaker quoted with effect
portions of that wonderful poem of La
nier's, "The Crystal" showing how in
all the governor spirits and seers and all
that brood about the skies of Poesy some
faint may yet be found, in Christ alone no
blemish and no flaw.
