| fruitage. That was the meaning Of
the text and how full it was Of ap-
propriate suggestion!
The all-inclusivc definition Of a
Christian life was this: It consisted
| through out of human activity which
| was a manifestation Of Divine ener-
gy. The outreaching Of your life,
the touching of the lives Of others
under this category you may include
| the utmost round of human activity
and i'll them we find the inworking
Of our God worked out in these null
| tifOrm modes Of expression. There
were two things in which men failed,
in their willing and in the working
out of their will. The same Apostle
that wrote the text wrote also the
words: What I would do, that do
not; and the words: With my mind
| love the will Of God, but how to per-
form that find not. But later on he
found it, and what he found was a
manifestation of this truth. The thing
| for you and me to DO is to let God
do the working within us for His
good pleasure. Hhere was one CLEAN of
light In the matter Of reconciling the
| sovereignty of God and the freedom
and responsibility of man.
Waste Of Energy Forbidden.
All the glory of every good act
must be Gods alone, for it is only
God who can work in you, you must
work out, for God permits no waste
Of energy. The power was in man him
self from the Sun of Righteousness,
or, having received grace, to die, hav-
ing brought forth no fruit.
In closing Dr. Miller said to the
graduating class:
The golden light of this day befits
these golden days Of the recrowning
of your youth. A thousand hearts
throb today quickly keeping time with
your hearts. The very air you breathe
is tense and quivering with tender
love. Teachers, fathers. and mothers,
brothers, sisters, even those looking
perhaps for the first time in your
faces all are yearning over you with
the very affection Of hopefulness.
Your alma mater lays in your hands
as sacred trust the honor Of her
name, which, bearing it as her ac-
llnowledged children, you are to keep
inviolate. For you the cloister life is
passed. Out in the dust and turmoil
of the world soon you must toll.
More than to most has Cad come to
YOU in His working. To the influence
Of Christian homes, for You He has
added sound Christian culture in a
college that lives to work out His
will. As we pray for you today He
has answered and is answering be-
fore we ask, and unceasing streams
Of His grace flow into your souls.
Give yourselves unresistingly that
your lives may be the working out of
Gods own life within you, and we
also cntreat you that you receive not
the grace Of God in vain.
The benediction was pronounced by
the Rev. O. B. Shearouse.
Sunday Night Address.
The address to the student body
Of the college Sunday might was de-
livered by the Reverend George H,
Cornelson, formerly Of Concord, N.
c., but at present pastor of Moore
Memorial Church, at Nashville, Ten
nessee. The weather was inclement
and at times the rain was pouring
down, but in spite of this large aud
ience braved the elements and filled
the opera house, to hear the eloquent
young divine.
Mr. Comelson took as his text the
words Of Matthew, Whosoever will
be chief among you, let him be your
servant.' He treated his text we'll,
his development of the subject being
perfect, and his handling Of the sub
jcct proclaiming him to be master of
it. His illustrations were aptly chos-
Ell.
Below is given a brief summary of
his sermon: Gods call to man is to
lok up and not down. Mans aspira-
tions must be the inspirations Of his
fellow men. Man is not content with
his condition, but a desire born with
in him expresses itself: "My reach
