 A classmate of: mine after three
 years work in the degree M. D. and
 work in a Pennsylvania hospital had
 an opportunity to enter the office of
 a celebrated physician in Phil
 adelphia. Instead he went as a mis-
 sionary. to China and was burned to
 death in the Boxer riot of 1900. A
 memorial tablet has been erected in
 our Chapel to Dr Taylor and his com
 panion, Hodge. Around the inscrip-
 tlon are two palm branches with the symbol of the cross above copied from
 the tOmbS of martyrs in the catacombS.
 Students frequently stop and look at
 this memorial as they leave the chap el;. It stands for the highest kind of self sacrifice, He gave his life with absolute freedom. He united the two ideas of law and liberty. You know
 what work means, you have had to do 1t here. Sometimes you haven't liked to do it MT Brinsmade has not told me this.) It has been irksome, work has been like a law and you have had to DOW to the lawOfwOrk. Areyougoing to have someone over you all your lives to point out your tasks? There is some pressure in college, but not so much as at school. When you go out into life you will have to appoint your own tasks. Let me tell you the secret or success in work is to feel whatever your work is. so interested in this work that you forget it is law, apply yourself freely to it. Find some work In which you can put your whole heart and soul. A famous rider iH England was once asked by friend "IIow is it that you can clear any wall?'' ''I send my heart over first horse and rider fol low after," was the reply. There is the old story of the Siege of Troy As long as the legendary statue of Pallas was preserved within the city, Troy could not fall. So Liberty is the Pal ladium of Natural Life, Liberty found- ed upon law.
