WHAT IS GOING ON AT The
UNIVERSITY ON THE HILL

Yesterday afternoon the Rev. Alexander
Mann OF Trinity church, Boston, led the
vesper services at Brown University For
his text Rev Mr.. Mann took the Civ. of
St Mark, 10th chap, Sell all thou hast,
and follow me-" He drew n parallel be-
tween the story OF the young man who
asked him how he might make the eter-
nal life and the moral standard OF Chris
tianity which asks so little In the service
OF Christ today
He said I'm part young man rushes
up TO Jesus. asking Him, What shall
do 20 Inherit the eternal life?" Let us
discuss nature and scope OF that question
It is not one OF selfish prudence, but was
one asked to gain the assurance OF a COM
Portable future. lie asks. how may here
and now enter into the highest and no.
blest life-eternal because II is eternally
worth while. Jesus answered. keep the
commands" No ideal can take the place
OF following the moral law. The young
man was surprised, for he had kept the
commands But he was not satisfied. He
thought the eternal life must be some
thing more and II is something more. The
young man gained Christs love. Then
Christ says: Sell all thou hast, and give
rs the poor and thou shalt have treasure
In heaven; ana come, take up the cross
and follow Me" BY that he meant not es-
pecially that the selling OF the goods was
important. but that the young man
should become Christ's close -befriended
disciple
The question for the young man was:
could ne give mp his well ordered life
and put his whole soul into Christs
cause?" The young man could not feel
equal TO such n sacrifice. He knew that
he ought to have followed Christ, but
could not His temptation was very great.
and though he could not reach the
height OF sacrifice. his whole life must
have been Influenced by this experience.
This story ought TO cause us 10 search
our hearts It stirs our complaisant com
monplace Christianity into consciousness
OF its opportunities for service. and its
failures 20 make the most or them. The
air is ringing with appeals 10 the hero
ism OF youth. And those appeals should
be to us what Christ's appeal was 90 the
young man. Especially should this appeal
strike home I'm the university. where men
live near 10 the ideal, and who arc filled.
