Terse and Practical Address.
The address was heard with mark
ed interest from beginning to end and
was most acceptably delivered extern
po%raneously. obviously it is impossi
BILE to do the speaker justice in the
brief space available, but some of the
salient points we're as follows:
The conception Of Christianity that
it is a thing apart from life, Paul
would, by his words, disprove. To be
truly religious, a man must live sober
ly, moderately, unimpassionately. The
religious life demands faith, trust ano
prayer, and thus a proper balance OF
life will be attained.
The religious life demands that a
man work. This may mean work with
ones hands or brain. Work develops
orderliness, justice, sympathy and the
highest joy, Creation is the orderly
arrangement of chaos. Work trans
forms wild roots and berries into
wholesome and luscious food. +.
Necessity for Work.
Work is necessary to true growth OF
the child, the boy and the man. Drones
in life are a to society, be they
the multimillionaire or the denizen oil
the slums. Both are as equally danger
Gus to society. Work is indispensable
The day laborer, the physician, the
musician, the author and the house
wife-all are filling a necessary place
in life and are needed. Every legiti
mate occupation educates. Do not BIZ
misled by the froth and frivolity Of life
! Existence is more than a grand enter
tainment, a great circus with as little
labor as possible sandwiched in! At
tend to vour own affairs-do not med
| die. Grand and chronic regulators q
the world in general are a nuisance
| Work is your life, therefore put you
best into it. Work while 1t is day, thu
night cometh.
Specially to Graduates.
Addressing the class, he said in
part: Members of the class of 1907
| can wish for you nothing better OF
this happy occasion than that you pos
sess that outlook upon life which will
lend you to some useful service. By
your course of preparation you have
been given possession of your powers
You go forth now to labor in the vari
GUS spheres which you have chosen
May you go animated by that high
! purpose which will lead you to place
a true religious value upon all life
| We trust that you will ever remember
that the highest in life is attained
when we recognize that lifting the
stone or cleaving the wood we may
find Him; that a quiet, sober, earnest
purposeful life alone can bring true
happiness. Life Is more than a grand
entertainment, more than a vast pleas
ure ground. True living with the
broad vision that will enable you t;
see God in everything will crown your
labors with success and honor.
