Commandments written on tables or stone were recommended as the guide for character throughout the ages.
 character can be attained only through close communion with God :" was the admonition of pr. Stavely.
 Education. he declared, is one of the great weapons with which to fight off malignant Influences which seek to destroy the pattern shown by the mountain.
 We must strengthen our wits in order to overcome the powers of evil, he said. Through personal ex pesiences we shall eventually realize the great Temple of Human Life freed from all it's faults. But we must not forget that 1t will be through the Father and Son that this will be achieved
 pr. Stavely advised the graduates to reach out beyond the horizon and embrace the world and the universe . asserting that to be fully content with trifles about us leads to mar rowness and failure 10 realize the meaning of life.'
 T expect that you will not be con tent with graduati ting from the high school, but will continue onward and onward. It is to be hoped that you having gone up into the mountain with Him-will come back to the people and lay in the Temple of Hu- manity one life that is true to the pattern"

Tn accordance with the general custom you have invited the church 10 meet with you az the finish Of your school year was the introduc- tofy remark by Dr. Stavely. Then referring to school work in relation to the church. he said: Tt is a great thing to train the mind. but unless all the faculties and capabilities are trained and directed in the path of righteousness and truth and God, in stead of being an asset they will prove a menace and apt to be a curse
 Reverting back to his text the speaker showed how those same ideals and ambitions which inspired Moses and his followers were con- tinuing to lead men on in the modern trend of affairs He pointed out that today, as then. it becomes nec- essary at times to seek the heights and oblivion of the mountains and secluded places In order to get a true perspective of life and the world in general.

toned the speaker. and answered by declaring that the first element in the pattern of life which Moses found in the mountains and which he sought to work out for his people was freedom.
 Along with freedom the pattern traced justice-iustice between man and man Dr. Stavely recalled the history of Moses in bringing out this point where the leader of the Israel ties lifted up his hand and struck down one who was guilty of injus- tice. Then he cited several recent instances to show that the cry for justice among men remains unabated.
 There cannot he freedom and jus tice unless the third feature of the -brotherhood--is embodied, was the opinion given. and 1t was shown how all development of free dom and justice was brought about through community interest.
 The speaker then brought out an element which he considered too of ten obscured. He showed how char acter was the big dominating force which was essential to all individual and collective advancement. The Ter
