COLLEGE MEN CHALLENGED

World Is Calling for Their Help.

BY Ielegrapn 10 ne lTlpunf

calaureate sermon was preached at the
First Methodist Episcopal Church to-day
by President William Arnold Shanklin
before the eighty-four members OF the
graduating class OF Wesleyan University
and their friends. President Shankln'.
text was Ezekiel II, /: son OF man stand
upon thy feet and will speak unto thee. "
His subject was The Challenge OF the
Day to the Personality OF YOUTH" in
which he urged that the higher gifts and
realities come to the man who seeks the
higher possibilities OF his own personality.
He said
AS college men you must feel 1t as
a part Of the challenge that your life
mere makes upon you to see life in its
fulness and to see Christ in His fulness
as Master OF Life. Christs life is a
prophecy and al announcement of what
you men are TO be- 1t is an assurance
that His life will v1ndicath itself In and
by you. You dare not be small. you
have some spark OF the divine omnipo-
tence and are on the upward road.
There never was a time when so many
interests were calling for help and when
intelligent service could be so effective
The present is the best chance God has
ever given for the Christian life and this
land is the land in which that chance can
best be met. May you face your work
with unwavering fortitude!"
