achieved something are the men who
had q purpose.
Qualification Of right thinking. Il
must be a man Of indcbeHdenf thought,
not q parasite. There are those who
draw their Thoughts from thoughts Of
others. Afraid 10 think There mast

tlves means nc breadth Of perception.
Think with open door and heart aud
largeuess will bring creativeness.
Think Gods thoughts after him. The
art on the was created before
it was put on with paint and brush.
And we must think pure thoughts. AS
a man thIr keith within his heart, so is
he. The thoughts within will speak 10
the world without. The pure in heart
shall see God;-the impure shall never
know the secret OF his presence.
Results of right, true, strong, pure,

do not know the great care-carrying

Try that liIeP Did you ever try help
ing people without any thought of re-
turnF Try it. The great Christ was
The great example of self-giving. "Ser-
vices of the church''-what are they ?
They are to do Chrlst's WORK. Chris
tian means Christ's man. Mr.. Kelley
most graphically drew the laborer and
the capitalist, making them speak in
character. o brothersl the right
thought is the thought that these twain
are O~Ns,-that the interest Of the toiler
is the interest of the one who gives the
oil.
Right thinking will transform the
character, A man grows as the flower
grows-from inside out. Character
grow from the inside. Direct, strong,
right thinking will control mind and
soul. My soul is to reign Ovey my
body. Live the regnant life, the life
of mastery, the dominant lie OF con-
quest, and the character is builded up
day by day. How large a man are you?
Have you won the VictoryP May He
who gave tine power of beautiful SER
vice be in us, making US to know what
we are in union with Him. His pow
er is our power, his glory is our glory,
and we shall come off more than con-
querors I through HIM that loved US and
gave himself for us.

postgraduate course leading to Mas

announced to the students. Three
young ladies have met these require

The president now addressed the
class. ''For two or three years | have
labored with you, for you, watching
your progress with interest. l have
prepared nothing in the way Of a Tor
NAL address to you, and you have lis
tened to me sufficiently in the class
room. One thought wish TO leave
with you. T. B. Macauley once said
that he "bad drawn a blank in lifts
lottery" He felt that way. Anyone
who looks upon life az a lottery would
feel that life is a failure. He who
starts out In that way has practically
made it a failure. Permit God to be
the ruling power in your life; that is
the thing of supreme Importance. In
comparison with that intellectual at
talnment is of little WORTH
A list of eighteen names was read of
students who had not missed roll call
during The last quarter, and of one
name perfect in attendance through
out the whole year.

istactory from every standpoint, the
beuedictIon was pronounced by Rev.
Kelley.
