Sermon for Students.
Christ is a guard against the dan
gers of intellectual culture" said DR..
w. S. Marquis, pastor of the Broadway
Presbyterian church, in his discourse on
Christ in Student Life" yesterday morn
ing He took his text from COlossians
2:6-10. and spoke particularly to the
young people. The substance of his
discourse follows:
Nearly nineteen millions of students
stand at the threshold of our schools,
public and private, today. A sight to
thrill the dullest imagination. Thou
sands of these are little children who
enter school for the first time and
thousands youth who leave home for
higher education. What new influ-
ences, what grave duties and RESPONSE
bilities confront them all. How much
all students need sympathy and help to
make the most of their student days.
Our text reveals the value of Christ.
1t is especially appropriate to student
life. 1t reveals Christ first as the guide
to conduct. He can save from the dan
gers of appetite and physical self-in-
diligence which so often destroy youth
He can give wisdom in the choice of
friends and in all the social relations
of the school. room He can quicken
conscience for the performance of every
duty. The student who takes Him as
guide will be Christ-like in conduct
