in ~ many ways the dyAical and
material view Of life 10 liable to
sweep men from their moofinss. To
AAse in man and democracy and in
God is a sure refuge. The cheap and
easy way is to drift with the current,
to join in the chorus that in being
raised to disparge AMI destroy polit-
ical and social and spiritual ideals.
Men without hope will never think
that the rule of law will be supreme
OVER the rule of might. They lay
aside a. Impractical the applications
Of the Golden Rule. of food will to all
the problems of life. hut men Of hope

leads to progress, and. though, few

mittees and nations may climb it, if
they win.
Members Of the graduating class:
II ia one Of the traditions of Bow
d6in that on this solemn occasion an
omcer Of the college should give you
a ANAL message of what your Alma
Mater expects you to take forth with
you. You have learned in many ways
that your education is nothing worth
unless it is set in religious back
ground and unless it leads to cohse-
Grated Christian service. The ideas
end ideals which you have gained in
academic halls you will pursue in a
world. which. while never wholly bad.
cannot in your generation or for all
your efforts be made wholly good.
Remember that Or for all your efforts
be made wholly good. Remember
that knowledge alone without wisdom
or sanity or concentration may add
to the evil rather than to the good.
Many Of you have labored earnestly
and effectively these past four years
to make the college better. Take
with you that same eager and hope
full attitude and carry that wonder
full college spirit into your life work
and into service for the ma ton You
will witness some defeats and fewer
victories; but as in college you never
dreamed Of deserving your team be-
cause it was losing and never des-
paired of the real worth of a college
degree even il you had moments of
failure. so in all your relations in life
as employer or employed as voter or
leader. be strong of hope. AS surely
as God reigns in heaven, our country
will fulfill her high mission if she
Shall be loyal to her traditions and not
allow her moral fabric to be weaken
ed by those who despair or those who
exalt material might alone. In the
words of one of the great heroes Of
American civic life today and of one
of Bowdoin's own sons, remember
that the chief value of college edu-
cation consists of "a desire to learn,
ability to think straight. courage to
act upon ones convictions and to
ones own self be true" To do that
YOU must he in instant touch with the
springs of faith and hope which relig-
ion offers. No problem no matter
how com plicated that effects the re-
lations of man with man Is incapable
of solution if there be the real spirit
of good will and of the will to find
way of peace. The old Hebrew
prophet was inspired with wisdom
from on High when ne wrote:
1T is good that a man should both
hope and quietly wait for the saliva
ton OF the Lord"

Perhaps present conditions may make

Fathers had any real basis for graft.
tudc amidst the cold and hunger and
pestilence and savages of bleak New

grateful on this Thanksgiving Day.
We should think OF those simple.

Let us thank God Tor corn in Mis-.
