Issues To BE Met.
I Father Duane. in HIS sermon 70 the
/ graduating class, took his text from the
Second Corinthians. eleventh verse: u am
jealous Of you with the jealousy Of God"
He likened what he termed the rebel
spirit within the church to-day 20 the
undermining influence i'm the division Of
the church Of the Corinthians. Your
alma mater rejoiCes with YOU to-day he
said. though there are uumistakable
difficulties ahead in the shape Of issues
that you must meet squarely and with a
frmness and abiding faith in the truth
THE church fears not those on the out
side; il knows their attacks, and has
always been victorious over It's enemies
Heed the warning given by his holiness
on the hill IN Rome last month. and make
no compromise i'm the cause Of truth.
Your alma mater is filed with a Jealous
jealousy, not that she fears for you on
account Of ordinary trials TO which our
flesh is subject, knowing as she does,
that the love of purity implanted In your
heart IN days Of scholastic training will
keep bright the beautiful virtue which is
a mothers glory, but another danger is
a source of anxiety 10 her. a danger
which is even more insidious in its nature
Dangers from Nltn1n.
within the Church Of Christ there has
arisen a band Of learned men. seemingly
filed with a zeal TO advance the cause
of Christ and their very learning and
zeal are a fountain source Of greatest in
jury Beginning as they do with the theory
that Christianity is synonymous with lib
erty they imagine that they are justified
in casting aside as antiquated the form
uas Of faith sacredly transmitted to us
by our fathers In their foolish effort TO
find bond of union between faith and
unbelief they do not hesitate to sacrifice
at least portion Of the truth revealed by
the Almighty. Alma mater is solicitous
accordingly. and to-day she intrusts to
your fidelity the keeping intact Of the
fullness Of the heritage of faith Then
there can be. there must be no com
promise; no jot or little of sacred truth
is to be sacrificed
The speaker compared the alma mater
TO the Apostle Paul in the Corinthians.
saying that she had watched over their
tender years, leading you sweetly along
the paths Of science, mOlding in the MAN
time according to the type Of perfect
Christian manhood" He referred in de-
tail TO the presidents and long line of dis
tinguished alumni. and in conclusion ap-
pealeu TO his hearers, urging them TO be
faithful in the cause which is the cause
Of the alma mater. that they might bear
her fair name untarnished TO the glori-
Gus meeting of the distinguished heroes
who have preceded them.
