Undeniably this is the most diff
cult aspect of our work. There are
two perils: the first is this, that as
our students swing from the emo
tional to the intellectual, they shall
fail TO harness their religion to their
wills. The second Is this: That as
we emphasize religious rules and
regulations and customs, we cleanse
first and exclusively the outside Of
the cup and of the platter. Il is
fairly easy to enforce attendance
upon Chapel and morning prayers
and vesper songs-but the altar in
the heart?
The Bible School, the curriculum
Bible study, the protracted meeting
all these may help us to fulfil
our task. But as we use these
methods, we must be careful lest
we sacrifice to our own nets and
burn incense to our own drags.
! think IL is President King who
suggests that the best, and almost
the only service we can render our
students is this: To share with
them the contagion Of our charac-
tiers and to share with them our best
visions. We dedicate ourselves anew
this day to share with our students
the contagion, at any rate, of the
character of the best men and wo-
men with whom we can bring them
into contact, and to share with them
our best visions-yes, that vision
which, is better than any earthly
vision-the vision Of God, who hates
sham and mere words and Journalism
and sectarianism, a God of impair
tial love, the Father of Jesus Christ,
our Lord. So may we help our stu
dents as they move their tents to
build their affairs. So may we help
them to bind themselves in friend
ship and in toll to the friendly
power behind the world.
Our task is not complete when
our students pass from these halls
into the mountain or the lowland
world. For those who have gone
from us, we must plan our Bureau
of Communications; for them we
must develop our Alumni Associa-

tons; we must strengthen in every
possible way the cords which bind
them to their Alma Mater.
One Of the most pathetic facts IN
India is this: That many a child
who in school has learned to read and
write goes back to his village where
there is no library, where there are
no newspapers, and where there IL
little writing needed, and he forgets
the art which, at such great pains,
he learned.
And surely one Of the pathetic
elements of the situation in America
is this: That a student, who APP
parently has caught the vision splen-
did, has found and formed his friend
ships with the best in the world, has
found himself as he has mastered
his individual and social task, has
bound himself in friendship and in
toll to the friendly power behind the
world-that this student may lose
the vision, grow coarse to sympa-
thize with clay, become Of the earth
earthly. I ask you only to visit the
average University Club of the aver
age city.
Alma Mater dare not send her
children out careless whether they
hold high the torch or let it fall into
some coal mine or oil well or to-
bacco field. Ever must our former
students feel that their fostering
mother expects great things of them.
Ever may they demand of her love
and hope and help.
Today, we clasp the hand of the
woman whose gentle presence with US
reminds us of the little schoolhouse
in the brush of the Berea Ridge.
And, again, we clasp the hand of
the man who has wrought effectively
to bring to fruition the dreams Of
the founders. And, again, we clasp
hands with those who, with us, go
forward into the life of the Berea
that is to be. Under the guidance
of Him, who has led this school
through all the changing way, we
go, unafraid, into the future, our
faces radiant with the light Of to-
morrow's sun.

world. There are men who are made
by the cities in which they live. They
become "citifed." Then there are
men, like Roosevelt and Jacob Riis,
women like Jane Adams, who make
the cities in which they live. They
are city builders. SO there are men
who will be made and moulded by
the life of the mountains. There
are other men who have the faculty
Of "evangelizing the inevitable" so
that their native hills become as the
delectable mountains from which
men see the celestial city. These
men have gained the humbly proud
conviction that they are co-workers
with God. To these men
Oft times cometh our wise Lord God,
Master Of every trade,
And tells them tales of daily toll
And Of Edens newly made,
And they rise to their feet as He
passes by,
Gentlemen, unafraid.
There is a fine verse in the book of
Genesis, which reads, "Abram
moved his tent and built and altar"
Ever for Abraham the pilgrim life,
ever the prayerful life. The tent
moved, the altar built see no pos
sible hope for our students in the
midst Of the intricacies and the delica-
cies of the new moral tasks which
are theirs, except this: That as
they move their tents they build
their affairs. Madam de Stael was
right when she said, life is valu-
able only so far as it serves for the
religious education of the heart"
To the religious education of the
hearts Of our students we must COM
NIT ourselves. Does our school tear
from the hearts of our boys and
girls the idols of self-love and way
ward lusts, the idols of lawlessness
which labels itself liberty? Does
our school help to erect within the
heart of each student an altar to
a trustworthy God? Then may our
school claim to fulfil the aim of the
founders, claim "to promote the
cause of Christ"

Does a man choose TO raise chick
ems, cows, corn? We propose that
he shall do that well, and relate that
task to the task Of feeding the world.
AS he adds the native limestone fer
tiizer to the soil Of his Rockcastle
farm, our student shall realize that
he is partner Of the New York farm
err who uses the same limestone
and is engaged in the same great un-
dertaking.
Does a man choose typewriting
We propose that he shall learn that
art well, and bind his work to the
art by which the world writes its
autobiography.
Does a man choose the profession
Of teaching? We shall ask that he
do that work well and relate his
work to the process by which one
generation comes into possession of
all the riches Of the long past 'and
multiplies them for the long future.
In 1890 William III said, at is our
duty to educate young men and wo-
men to become young Germans, and
not young Greeks and young Romans"
The Kaiser, who no longer sits the
arbiter of the destiny of German
education, made a distinction where
there need be none. The man who
masters a foreign tongue, whether
ancient or modern, need not for that
knowledge be less a good German
or good American. Indeed, the new
language is a key which unlocks the
door of one Of those great houses
in which have lived and shall live
forever multitudes of Gods thinkers
and fighters. And one of the most
imperative aspects of our task is
this: To rescue our students from
the provincial and parochial, and to
give to them the assurance that in
their immediate task they are MAX
ing a contribution to the real and
permanent wealth of the world.
Thus, in binding their task to the
world enterprise, shall they find
their highest, their true selves.
And it is ours to offer to each of
our students the chance to bind him
self consciously in friendship and in
toll to the friendly power behind the

RESOLUTIONS TO LATE
SHERIFF BREWSTER.

Into the life of each community
there comes occasionally some man
whose signal qualities, unobstrusiye-
ly exhibited during the span of life,
stand out, when accented by death,
like unto Mars at Perihilion-ard
cause fellow citizens to pause for the
nonce and to consider the phenomena

Whence it happens, that the Bac
| of the Parish of St. Tammany, Lou
'siana, who, for some decades past,
had come to know Thomas Edward
Brewster, it's sheriff, and realizing
that in his death it suffered a loss
of a competent, honest, fearless and
fair official, and friend, to evidence
its respect, and, in some measure
express its consideration to the liv-
ing, does, through it's undersigned
committee, in open court in Coving-
ton, st. Tammany Parish, State OF
Louisiana, move the Court, as it's
melancholy duty, to inscribe upon its
minutes for this 18th day of April.
A. D., 1920, the first day of court
since our Sheriff's death, these reso-
lutions:
Whereas, as afore cited, Thomas
Edward Brewster has entered into
eternal rest,
And whereas, this Bar mourn in
him man who appreciated and who
ever performed his duty, and
A fa1end, in the ful1s meaning of
that word,
Be it resolved, That the Bar ten
der to the family of the deceased its
respectful expressions of sincerest
sympathy,
And be it further resolved, That Ia
addition to the minute entry request
ed, that the Court do order the issu-
ance to the Brewster family of a
certified copy of this proceeding and
