us if we could get rid of the idea OF
money making for moneys sake.
Probably the next in Importance and !
certainly next in its malicious results,
is the desire, by men, for political pre-
ferment. This corruption in politics
is, by no means, newly created evil
1t has been steadily growing since the
people have had any part in their gov
eminent and today We have ii increas-
ed a hundred fold. Innumerable are
the instances which We find or men
who have gotten a desired office by
means of political chicanery and brlo-
cry. ITO the victor belongs the spoils,
but let the victor win by honorable
means.
Again we have idol worshiping to
great extent in the desire Of men ana
women to gain social prestige. This
condition exists 10 greater extent In
larger cities and in university and col
Iege towns, than in cities of smaller
size and less population Men and wom-
en- often sacrifice almost every particle
or moral strength and manhood, lose
interest in their home ties, simply to
gain social prominence, which can only
last a few years. Can the ultimate re-
suits Of this be in any way conducive
to the upbuilding of moral strength and
character?
Today in some of the oldest, largest
and most renowned universities, this
question of social prominence plays a
conspicuous part in the daily life OF the
student body. 1t is quite evident that
those who come with serious purpose
and those that come in order to get a
little better acquainted with the frills
Of society, cannot long walk side by
side and try to uphold the reputation
of that institution of learning. Proba-
bly, one of the best examples of this Is
the institution at West Point. Altho
very many students enter this insti
tuition and matriculate here, compare
lively few really serve and hold respon
sible positions in the United States
army The rest have gotten full o
themselves and are not fit to serve il
the United States army. This is tn
reason why Uncle Sam says there ar
not enough frst-class officers to fiji
the vacant positions. Not only Yves
Point, but other observation-disclosures
Yale and Princeton, have beeen severe
ly criticised for the social condition
there.
Now, fellow hearers, our endeavo
must be to get rid of these four poten
and influential idOls-money with all 1t
evil effects, political preferment wit
all it's vices and social distinction con
nected with education with its unwhole
some results. We will in future time
be judged, not by the idols of mino
Importance which we have worshipet
but by those which stand out, clearl
and distinctly above all others. In tina
case then, let us put aside all petit
idols and worship those that are worth
to be worship. and in this way gain fc
ourselves the grandeur Of Greece an
the glory of Rome"
