Edward went back ana sat down.
greatly wondering what the president
was going TO say to him. But he was
wholly unprepared for what followed.
~ want to ask you. Blake, about
your religious life in the college. Are
you getting any help 10 that direc-
tiOnY'
Edward was so astonished that for
several seconds he could not think Of
MY boy" he said at last, with the
earnestness that Edward felt came
from deep personal interest, my
prayer and wish for you will daily be
that you may become Christian stu
dent-not merely moral being, but a
Christian being-and as you live Ion
ger In the world you will notice a very
wide difference between the two. If
am not mistaken, you have so far prid-
ed yourself on your morality and have
more or less contempt and criticism for
others. Am l right about that"
"Yes, sir; | think So" said Edward
in a low voice.
The president paused again, and
then, as some one knocked on the door,
he said simply:
II shall pray for you. Blake, and hope
to see you Christian man through and
through before you leave Hope col
lege."
"Thank you, sir" said Edward as he
went out.
He was really agitated more than be
was willing to confess by the unexpect-
ed review.
In the first place, he was unusually
stirred by the fact that the president
had spoken to him in such a personal
way. Every day since the new presi-
dent had taken charge of college affairs
Edward had been obliged to add to the
feeling of respect for him that was
now rapidly filling the minds Of all
the students. The president was in
spring enthusiasm for the best ideals
of scholarship. He was becoming
noted for several contributions he had
made within the year to educational
reviews. He was much more than an
average teacher. His scholarship and
classroom abilities were Of very high
order. That this man, at the head of
a growing and famous school, should
care anything personally for d raw, in
experienced, undeveloped student like
himself, struck Edward forcibly and
compelled him to give special weight to
what the president said about the
