which precipitates the true metal
the heart. 1t may be q beautful
cathedral glowing with soft lights
sitting through prismatic windows or
it may be q dark channel home. 1t
may be a diamond whose every facet
flashes with celestial light or an ugly
lump of clay fit only for the gutter.
But there is only one heart of "a
man''-the true man. We do not have
to go to the book of human expert
ence to learn its name. We have only
to go TO the good old book which has
been our inspiration during the fleet
| ing centuries and hear the inspired
Psalmist as ne looks toward God and
cries Create within me clean heart
and renew within me n right spirit. ="
| The Poet Laureate of England has
! said:
Kind hearts are more than coro-
nets and simple faith then Norman
blood
Americas brightest son has said:
When / weigh a strong brain against
pure heart, it is balancing bubble
against a wedge of pure gold
81 am sorry that it has become pop
ular with commencement speakers to
eschew all laudatory references to our
good old state. You boys are sons
of North Carolina and / trust you
will never leave the good old mother.
With her mornellous climate, hersNile
soil, her matchless history. she has
peculiar claims on you. You are to
add to her resources and keep intact
your inheritance. But remember
this: the richest addition you can
make to her capital is the addition
of true manhood. With strong, use
full bodies, eager robust pioneering
minds and true. pure hearts may you
stand out today on an expedition
which means the completion of un-
completed monuments, the singing of
unsung songs, the lighting of unfought
battles and wherever you may be.
whether on the sunlit crest or in the
shadow draped valley may your most
exultant and thrilling consciousness be
that you are calling the generations
of the Old North State to the highest
places of manhood.
