 but very thoughtful address. Dr.

 A Cambridge professor once asked what is the difference between Harvard
 and Yale? This difference exists neS one can doubt, but what Is 1t? YaIesa atmosphere is different her ideals ara different, they are set before her stu- dents in a different light Yet this ira- definable, indescribabae spirit IS the finest thing in the world. 1t Is a spirit which every man here feels; it Impress es itself on every man In college. When you say I love my college you do not mean your classbooks, your campus or any particular building. You mean you love the indescribable Yale. the spirit of Yale. So a man says he loveB his country, meaning that he loves the ideas that are enshrined in his coun- try's history.
 What is it, then. for man, a Chris tian, to love the Lord Jesus Christ? It means that such :, a man loves what Christ stood for, believes in Christ'S AAAS oAt C<Ai tAAB 0AAA otllVCS AlA ll4S OWu ~ life to follow that standard. The only kind of love for Christ that is worthy of our adherence is to stand for what X He stood for, purity, truth, sincerity; principle. The man who stands for these things is the true follower of Christ. The Christian life Is not sini@ # ply keeping out of all evil but geftinx { into all thatcis good.
 What are some of the things which are keeping college men back from be- Ing positively Christian? One thing, one of the foremost, is our modern shrinking from protesting anything; our reluctance to show our best feel ngs, our noblest resolves. But Is 1t right that we should hide the best in IS and show only the worst? There are TWO kinds of hypocrisy, claiming to be nore than we are and claiming to ba ess than we are. Judas pretended to oe more than he was; Peter less than le was When a man constantly goea s through life pretending to be less than le knows and believes and feels that le Is, he is practising the hypocrisy Of ,owardice. Let the best that Is in you 2 ome out; if you are followers of Jesua ct the whole college know 1t.
 Another thing which holds sorna ,ack is their belief that they are too ,usy; yet another is the intellectual 'roblems which confront us as we row older. But the man who never hinks never advances Tell Christ our problems, your troubles, your rials; they will cease then and you will have rest and peace. No man ia DO busy to give a part of his time to tod; the man living a religious life Is pheld strengthened, fortified, sure of infinite help and protection in all that x e plans and undertakes Take thiSs x Be so honest and thorough nd downright a Christian that no 1an can doubt where you stand. Be a rue emerald and keep your color r
 The service closed by the singing of {. Onward Christian Soldier.'
 At the morning service at Batch hapel Dr. Faunce took "Discortent'' ,r his theme. Nobody nowadays Is lily satisfied; even those who have all nat heart can desire are unhappy and nd trouble in taking care of their pos- essions. But we must take the world # 3 we find it and make the best of it; le world is much as we ourselves lake it, and happiness and contents lent are closely linked.
