The Greatest Pursuit.
Or. Laws delivered a Thoughtful
homily to the graduates n stu
dents last night. nj speeding the
graduates into the various fields OF
endeavor they may elect he urged
them 10 remember that the greatest
pursuit of all liz the pursuit of a life
Of Goodness. The nearer they live
to God, he said. the more will they
achieve and the greater the happi-
ness that will be theirs. But it was
not h negative life of Christianity
which he plead with them to follow,
but the active life. which Phillips
Brooks has characterized as the posi-
tivism of the Christian religion.
He old them that the greater vic
tory lay with him who met and over
came temptation rather than with
him who immured himself behind
walls and tried to hide from the
temptations of the world. HIS who
sailed between Scylla and Charybdis
won greater laurels than he who sail
ed around them, as the Argonauts
won greater glory by overcoming the
lure Of the sirens by Orpheus' singing
than Ulysseses, who went by them
strapped to his mas 1t was the life
Of active endeavor which DR.. Laws
pointed out, and asked the young men
to follow II they would win in the
battle of life.
The chapel was filled to its utmost
with students, their relatives and
friends, and the address appeared to be
greatly enjoyed.
