gational church of Portland. who is
the guest of Whitman college. will de-
! liver the annual sermon at the day of
| prayer for colleges tomorrow, spoke
| informally at chapel TO the students
| this morning. Mr.. House is self
made college man of q pleasing and
| commanding appearance and created
4 veYy favorable impression on the stu
dents. When in Dartmouth college in
his Freshman year he was the strong
est man in college. He is a graduate
of Harvard college and Boston divinity
school.
In his talk this morning he called at
tention to the splendid equipment
given to each student. The wonderful
capa biities of the human brain with
memory. that medicine chest from
which can be taken deeds of the past
to heal hurts of the future: the ar
Senal which furnishes tools to fight
the battle of tomorrow: with ina gina
ton which makes possible productions
of art. literature and constructive
craftsmanship: reason which Sits all
and the WILL the motive power. With
these things the world has been chang
ed and will be even more in the
next 80 Years. But God has written
variety everywhere. No two minds
are just alike. Everyone has per-
sonality all their own. Each has Il pc
culiar endowment for a peculiar work.
Mr. House appealed to each student to
| make his personality felt, not to ape
some one else. David did not use the
armor of Saul. Let your motto be this,
BE all you can be" ''One can be as
much as he thinks he can be. Many
who are put on the remnant counter
by their acquaintance are rare bar
gains and will surprise their friends
some day. Let all use every power
that has been given him or her" said
the doctor.

sermon tomorrow morning at 1890
o'clock at Whitman chapel and in the
afternoon the Christian societies will
hold a prayer meeting at Associa ton
hall.
