each Of Us we're similarly inpeIled
Ito expand our minds and spirits
in spite Of restraints and hind
rances--to expand them unto full
realization!
And yet man more than all 9th

fatally onesided we are! How
|tllwarted we are in this develop

|tives! We turn aside to achieve
unworthy ambitions, TO satisfy
OUR avarice or crafty our vanity;

Now in the second place let US
consider the theme more speci6-
caily as applied 70 students, who
are supposed to be engaged chief

You note that / read 4 classic out

The charge is that it fails to
bring happiness, that it even en-
tails dissatisfaction. And this is
true. In fact, il Is a virtue d
|of knowledge that it does involve
dissatisfaction and discomfort, for
in GU, efforts as selfrealization il
Us highly essential that We should
become dissatisfied. As ordinari-

To dissatisfaction with existing
things is due all progress, mater

low Of the real world with the
high Of their acquired ideal, and
who with generous sympathy and
4 noble hatred Of the base and
false, feel ilnpellel 10 undertake
the work Of bettermeut
And 50 the fact that knowledge
does not bring happiness IS 40
reason for giving up the pursuit
| We know that mere intellec-
tual knowledge can never satisfy
the infinite longings Of the hu-
man soul. The bitter outcrics
against knowledge, however,
have come from the deluded in
tc'lectual ssarchers after truth.
They have failed TO comprehend
the fact that glorious as IS the
light Of mans reason, it cannot
penetrate, after all, far into the
great darkness Of the MYSTERY
that surrounds Us. But men nave
tried to make it do d work utter
|ly beyond its power; il can never
bring happiness and never was in
tended to do 50. Yet I insist
that the acquiring Of knowledge
is the most essential and evident
means Of selfrealization, in spite
Of involved discomfort and doubt.
Against doubt Of every kiad, abb
solutely unavoidable, if knowledge
be acquired, from time immemor-
iaI a cry has been raised. Can
We, however, give up knowledge?
Or can we believe or maintain
there ever was a sane, well bal
anced individual who was injured
by knowledge? provided he gets
much Of it which edi6es and
makes simple. No; doubt IS
akin to dissatisfaction and is ne
|cessary in selfrtalization. and
hence | trust that you will have a
goodly share Of It. Doubt, pro-
vided your doubt be sincere and
genuine and springs from = mob {
desire for truth, in its purest
form. But harken; defend your
self with all the energy Of your
soul against your doubts ending
in despair and death Of faith.
Seek and strive on to find and
know the truth, being never con-
tent until you see il in its own
radiance. And then provided
you have not made the fatal er-
ror Of supposing that selfrealiza-
ton comes only from intellectual
development; if you have not
starved and disregarded that far
more important side Of your ma
turc that demands for its life,
beliefin. constant communication
with. and surrender to the wishes
Of the maker and master Of the
universe; If you have steerrd clear
Of this soul--wrecking error, you
will find, after all. that yonr re-
Iligious doubt is largely as to the
uuesscntial, the mere form or shell
in which the everything and soul
Sustaining truth is cncased.
| Let US, then, along with know
ledge in large measure get faith,
hope aud charity as fully as in US
lies. And let us remember that
knowledge getting Is bnt a means
to an end. For us college men,
after having spent a few years
earnestly in the wide, ideal world
Of cmancipated and emancipating
spiritualand intellectual conditions
which We have developed no one
faculty at the expense another
this end is TO know, acknowledge,
and reverence God, and to serve
Him BY doing His will with our
fully realized selves.
