"'rinrn Hike tlcsr call for tall men, sun

mighty Influence unto the making of Il
perfect phyalcal body and perfect mind

their fellow men. ncn md women who
ahnll hc IN Gods princes and Gods prin-
ccsaca. Gotl'a capable men and women,
WHO have power to prevail with God and
with mnn In learning Gods secrets.
Gods secrets can be discovered only by
the man who is prepared, by Cod 3 prince,
Gods capable man. God loves the world
and all things that lie has made, and he
would have no secrets, therefore, since
humanity. And Cod has never kept any,
thing secret save for tho fact that there
waa not n man who could understand il.
We want mcn and women who are princes
and princesses with God, to prevail In
learning Gods secrets. All truth is not
discovered, but all truth is discoverable,
and much is yet to be learned by Gods
capable men, Gods princes.
We need men to prevail with men in
leadership; in constructing institutions
and characters. Mighty is the force re-
quircd in the construction Of character,
but mightier far is the force needed to
reconstruct character. If you look deep
into the worst man OIL earth, you will
find In him the image of the divine. 1t
may be reached and brought out to per-
fiction. This is a mighty work that God
has for you to do, i'll the first place as
young men and young women. 1t has
always been in the history of the world
that the young have done the greatest
work, and never was this so true as it is
today, and as it is in our own country.
And not only as young men and as young
women, but as college bred young 1nen
: and young women. I need cay but a
: word as to the reason for this That lies
!: in the simple fact that while only two
per cent. Of our young people ever find
their way into colleges, that that two per
cent. furnishes thirty per cent. of the
) leadership Of our land. So of those who
) are constructing and reconstructing Our
) country, thirty per cent. are college-bred
!: young men. What power then resides il
you to mould aud shape and control
. the destinies of our nation. You
who are graduating stand upon mount
Of vision. Every one of you is standing
upon high mount. You are looking
out upon the moving world about it..
You want to take active part in it all.
You are conscious of your own power as
|, young men and and women to fight your
way and make success, and yet you
must quail before the mighty work if you
realize what it all is and feel your need
of more power. All! the yearning of all
Of us to learn that secret which Jacob had
learned. There is no scarcity of power.
God has provided all things necessary for
the building of the world and of the men
!, that he needs. That power is operative
| through truth, through Gods word. That
, power is all around us. The question for
: you is the question of utilizing the power
that is around you.
Can we lay hold OF those mighty forces
; which are resident in your lives, resident
In your healthy sound bodies, in your
trained minds, i'll your hearts3 Well your
power be constructive or destructive
That is the question. That power that is
patentlal i'll you may become actual and
becomes actual through knowing aud
being in touch with God. Purity of
heart is the real source of your power, an
exalted purpose, thinking of high ideals,
noble aspirations. Never was there ideal
too high to make that ideal a reality in
your life.
would that everyone of us could re-
member the words that were said this
morning about faith. 1t is that that
links us to God, incarnates truth in man,
the embodiment of Gods word, makes
man the vehicle through whom God can
speak the message that He would speak to
man. Get hold of truth. Incarnate by
your faith this lesson Of wisdom that YOU
have learned, all these forces into your
life, until you are the incarnation of
Christian character. Live the truth, tell
