Penniman, dean Of the University of Penn
sylvan!a. DIR. Penniman made an address
on The Opportunity and the Temptation. ;
He spoke of the great opportunities which
come to every mar and every woman at
an carly period in life; and that accom-
panying the opportunity there comes temp
tation. To illustrate. he spoke of the oppor-
tunity which came to Moses at the court
of Pharaoh, to make the choice between the
raratiNe ease and the life OF struggle in
winning the freedom of his people from
bondage and securing to them the benefits
of an independent national life and the de-
Velopment of their own religious ideals
lie spoke. too. OF the career of John the
Baptist, vino might easily have made the
Jews of his day believe that he was the
Messiah. but who set aside this temptation
and proclaimed that he only the fore
runner of one whose shoe iatchet he was
not worthy to undo. He also spoke of st.
Pauls great opportunity and temptation.
These illustrations he used showing that
tie same opportunity and the same tenpta-
ton come to every man and every woman.

Mr.. SiGwelFs Address.


The song was followed by an address by
Mr.. Sidweu He said
Something that always awakens my
greatest admiration and deepest interest as
l stand at of the great wharves in our
eastern cities, is to look upon one of those
magnificent ocean steamers that has just
come III from its voyage, stretching along
The dock in length more than a city block,
holding thousands .of people and thousands
Of tens of freight driven by its wonderful
engines, across the painless ocean. Posi-
bly, six or seven days ago it left the city of
London or Liverpool, and now it is landed
at the har5or In New Io.k.
AN examination of the ship Will show tina t
the skill and knowledge that has been gain
ed from building ships for centuries and
centuries is applied to the construction OF
this splendid ocean steamer and not only
to the construction of the steamer does eX-
perience and intelligence enter. but the
knowledge of the currents of the sea- of the
dangerous shoals, and all OF that which
goes to make up the science of SlaNiga ton
has been made use of In order TO send that
ship across the ocean. Nothing seems too
good 10 be put into the shp-nothlng too
much to spend upon it. The ship is Won
derful and valuable. but the man who de-
signed and built the ship and the man who
sails the ship is even more wonderful and
more valuable
THE thought that comes to me from this
is that the most valuable thing in the world
Is human life. that the most important
thing III the work of living Is that of PRO-
ducing strong men and women, and OF Civ
ing to them or helping them to acquire the
principles of life which will be to them
what the chart and the science of naviga
ton is to the sailor that pilots the great
steamship. So, Just for few minutes we
will consider some of the teachings of the
great philosophers of the world which have
helped men and women to make successful
VOYAGES through life. How To live how O
