intended by his maker; he 1eIarned the
mastery of the seas, to dress the sur
face of the earth and enrich himself
with its depths, to reach into space and
compel its unseen forces to lift for him,
to travel, to write, to speak for him
and otherwise enlarge his liberties.
Freedom through, knowledge. The
truth makes free and I have invited
you to go with me through this brief
review of the past for a purpose which
needs no apology. If the disciple of an
ancient date seeing what was expected
of him could fall back, affrightsd ana
exclaim, Who is sufficient for these
things ?-how much greater and how
vitality necessary is the work of dis
cipleship now. Touched by the world
illness of the times, by the growing
complexity of everything human, by
the noises of a very Babel in his ears,
by an increasing heathenism, the min
lister exhorts US to take higher ground
and tells us that stagnation is death.
that the achievement of today must
be the starting post for the tomorrow,
that the prize is a home in the Eternal
CITY whose streets of gold echo with
the footballs of God and the saints
how, how let us ask, can one expect to
meet these requirements, enter upon
the fullnesS of that life without the
mental enlargement to aid him in the
moral development of his faculties.
Here we stand at the beginning of the
twentieth century. About us are ac-
cornplishments too intricate for the OF
binary understanding, too wonderful
