by Edmund Lealy.
Dr. Wilson spoke from clause
found in Matthew 4:3, "And the
tempter came" He spoke only of
three temptations that would come
to the members of the class as
they continued their work, wheth-
er in college or in life.
First, comes the temptation to
think too highly of yourself. In
college you will be fattered a
great deal in the first few weeks
by attentions paid to you in solic-
iting your membership into the
fraternities and societies. Don't
let that hattery cause you to lose
your head. When you get into
business resist the temptation to
feel that you know more about
running the business than youI

STORM UPROOTS
TREES AND DOES
OTHER DAMAGE
Motorists In Northeastern
Vermont Have Exciting
Experiences

Motorists who took the north
bound roads out of ST. Johnsbury
Sunday afternoon were caught in
a storm that had all the thrills of
Texas tornado for a few mo-
ments. A driving rain carried by
a terrific wind, hailstones that cut
the face and all this in absolute
darkness, presented actual perils
on the road. Trees were blown
down, great limbs torn from the
trees and tossed about like leaves.
Telephone and electric light wires
were crippled and the work Of am
bilious gardeners was lowered in
the first blasts.
The storms fury seemed TO cen
ter in Sutton, West Burke, Lyn-
donville, Sheffield and as far north
as Newport. St. Johnsbury caught
only a part Of the torrent as it
swept around and again gathered
force as it travelled south. The

President Moody of Mid
dlebury Delivers
Baccalaureate

President Paul d. Moody form
ally opened the exercises of the
122nd Commencement of Middle
bury College, delivering the Bac-
calaureate Sermon Sunday morn
ing in the Mead Memorial Chapel
on the topic, "At the Fork of the
Roads. Taking as his text PM.
2:5-8, "Have this mind in you
which was also in Christ Jesus
President Moody gave a stirring
appeal for an uncompromising yet
self sacrificing attitude towards
life. He said in part; at is record
ed of young man many years ago
tat on the completion of long
preparation,, before actively enter
ing upon his public career, he with
drew for some six weeks into the
wilds for a period Of adjustment of
himself to his anticipated career.
There he passed through severe
mental struggle. He has left no
personal record of this but in his
talks with his friends sufficient was
revealed of those days to give us
an insight into them. Life appeared
to him first of all as an opportun-
ity for the expression of his own
personality, a chance to serve man
kind by leading it forcefully along
the way hec hose for it, by gras"-
ing that leadership amon~ men for
which he was so we'll equipped; !;
but on reflection he refused take
his own way, to assert himself. He
would exercise no tyranny, bene-
VIOLENT though that tyranny might
be, for he saw clearly that such in
fuence lacks in the quality of per-
manence.
Then as so often happens and in
accordance with the alWs of nSych-
ology, the appeal shifted. He found
the life of submission of passive
acquiescence making its appeal. If
life was not not to be self-assertive
masterful, dominant, why should it
not be acquiescent, passive, free
from responsibility of design or
choice? He turned from this as un-
worthy also, to face the question of
compromise Arising out of the
realization of the complexity of life
came the invitation to take a mid
die course, to steer between the
two, self-assertion on the one ham
and complete abdication of self on
the other. SO the question arose
for him if he was not to exert his
Will over circumstance and carve
life to his liking, or on the other
hand, was not to be swayed bv
existing circumstances and guided
by traditions, why not accept life
in the spirit of compromise? But a
