naughty threes." This was one of the most
pleasant features Of the evening and made
the exercises more religious than are most
affairs OF the kind.
The yaledictory was filed with happy
recoIIections of former school days and
mention of "hops." senior fairs, contests,
the Daily Echo and all the features of
Shortridge life. The speaker said that all

To-day is like every day; II comes aI n'.1
yesterday and 1t goes before to-mortow
And to-days question Is the stern quesuon
of every day-what have you got out OF al
yesterday, with which TO mees to-mort Ito
THE struggle of a thousand generations
was not for the mastery OF the STUBBORN
earth not to achieve an apparatus OF
railroad and steam hammer ana Ia,hns
gun. 1t was to achieve man TOT whom
the apparatus should be hands ana 1eet,
a man in whom should be the power 10
face the waves of force that everywhere
loom and threaten and bury and make

at is possible for you who are child OF OF
civilization to live a life which, under all
shows and pretenses, Is as mean and sordld
and cruel as that of Hottentot iaoy
with lily skin may stab as QUICK ana ore9
sqIaw; and her face may grow as ugly Win
earthly and evil passion. You may surren-
der your citizenship TO boss You may
Weld your conscience TO a priest or creed.
You may cover and comply under the whip
of a tyrant majority. You may allow your
self to become thing ana a tooi anu
slave.
TIME THAT TRIES METTLE.
"B,t will YOU believe this in the time that
tries your mettie? VIII you desert your In
sight or will your insight make you brave?
Will YOU forget the law or will you trust
IL against the bewildering and contradictory
appearance? VIII you cover before mems
scorn of your song or will you wait with
IL until their laughter Is turned to wonder
and love? Will you deny the Christ or VIII
YOU stand all shadows or terrors or time
with the silent and abiding God! -
.'And wide life, holy life-the simple lie
Is the bringing to every work. TO the car
rying of bricks. to the sweeping OF floors.

est manhood, the whole LIE wnlcn the IN
suence has brought to birth within US
What tomorrow shall bring forth do NOT
know-storm or battle. miserable failure or
dangerous success. But all Is good TO the
man who has enough OF the divine power 10
make order and peace out OF lnnnlte cnaos.
And so / pray the prayer of Christ. pray
not that we may be taken out OF the world
but that we may conquer 1T and save IT.
