PRESIDENTS OPENING ADDRESS.
,,,ae Number Of People Present to
Hear Eloquent Discourse.

from uG Jimmy ~AASsNsi
Last Sunday morning at eleven
o'clock in Craven Memorial Hall
tbe opening sermon to the STU
dent body was preached by Presi-
dent John c. Kilgo. The custom
of an annual sermon to the :tl-
dent body was inagurated several
years ago, and has always been an
event OF unusual interest not only
to the members of the college
community but to the people of
the city as well. A very large
crowd was present last Sunday to
hear Doctor Kilgo, and as is US
ually the case, he preached great
and powerful sermon, putting in
IN !, the force which so eminently
characterizes his preaching. He
xIe,ted as the theme for the oc-
easion The Ascendency Of Per.
son4lity, and in part spoke as
follows:
Thou art priest for ever after
the order of Meichisedec." Heb.
V.6
This man Melchiscdec is the
strangest character in the Old
Testament records. He comes
into view but once. remains
onIy a moment. does single
decd, and disappears forever from
the scenes of history. Yet that
short moment aud that single
decd showed him to belong to the
highest order possible among
men. King he was. but not by
heredlty; priest lie was, but not
BY inheritance. These Offices
were his by another, a higher
right. They were his by the
nsI, of innate virtues, they were
his BY the right Of his lofty per-
sonality. No man gave them to
him, no man could take them
from him. Abraham, the great
est character in Israel, knew Mel
chisedec to hold a higher author
iiy then he held, and to this King
Of Salem the head Of this race
paid tribute.
ITO this order belonged the in
eamate Christ. lie was not a

E.e did not come through the
tribe of Levi. He was not king
because Davis was among his an
Cestots. These Offices he held by
a deeper. a surer, and more ell.
during righ,-the right Of his
own incompatible personality.
My theme, then is, The as
tendency Of personality.
Personality is that which we
iniuitively know distinguishes
man from all other things about
him In ways he is identified
with matter, but he knows that
he Is forever set of from il by
the facts aud forces OF personality.
In ways he Is akin TO the animal
Il'c about him, but he is eternally
removed from it by his personality.

l. is impossible TO adequately
define personality. We know
that among its constituent parts
are tcason and will aud love and
Conscience. That il has the pow
q To realize self. to determine the
direction Of self. and TO discern
and TO fix purposes which tran.

1.-THE first sublime emphasis
which he put upon rers onality,
human personality, was his COM
ling into the earth in the form OF
human personality. THE Word
was made flesh" All the revela-
tions he made were revelations OF
personality in the terms of our
personality. ST. John says OF
him, ''In him was life, and the
life was the light of the world"
Not his words, not his deed, not
his example, but his life, his own
real self, was the light of the
world. Herein lies one Of the
absolutel. unique things in our
Christian religion 1t has its
foundation and its resources in
the personal Christ. 1t does no,
admit OF distractions, it will not
yield a system of society, ofethics
of politics. 1t falls to pieces when
the personal Christ is eliminated.
"He fixed the worlds destiny
according to its relations to him
personally. He that believeth on
ma shall be saved, he that be-
lievcth not shall be damned.
Every consequence of human his.
tory lay within the resources OF
his personality.
He addressed his message to
man as a person. To man he
showed a personal God. To man
he revealed his own personal quaI.
aties, and to man he gave i'm.
mense visions of the potentialitie,
human personality
However. in these last times
We have largely dethroned per
aliiy and substituted an imper.
socialism. 1t appears in society
in the fictitious standards Of 80.
cial measurement. By the right
of ancestry, or wealth. or office
men claim their places Of honor
among men. And though Amer
lea boasts that it is the kingdom
of personality, that within its
borders personal worth is the OH.
ly credentials OF value, yet mere
triles fix social positions and
mere incidents put aside essen
tials.
This mpersonalism appears
in the mania for legislation. Par.
ties aud laws are made the guar,
dams OF the nations virtues.
Freedom is protected as a creed,
but il is not a creed, it is a per.
soual experience. Patriotism i
conserved as a party fealty, but
patriotismis personal allegiance.
Having dethroned personality ev.
cry virtue Of the nation is threat

nization. Far more dangerous
and degrading of American life j.

freedom and the party control 81

Americans need a revival Of sell
realization. a self realization that
will set the citizen above org1'

Industry by organization is

r. Several mine employees in the tip

jury and death late Wednesday af-
ternoon when eight mine cars ran
wild down an inclined track dis
tance of 600 feet and crashed into

be thrown out of employment until
the tipple is rebuilt which will be
done right away by the coal COM
