That one great wvork is to miake somiething out of yoturself, ot of your own inner self. All circumi stnces will serve as a field for the work of perfecting one's inner life. Carlyle remnarks somnewhere: "SHublimer in this world k now I nothing the.n a peasant saint.'" A peasant saint is as sul?himie as a royal saint or a priestly saint, It Is not the royalty or priesthood or peasantry that is sublime; It is the saintliness. "'What is a man p)rofited if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul." Ymownt soul is the field for youtr great est victories; here become great. IIow are you going to give yotur sotil back to your Maker when: done with life? Thiat Is the most serious question of human existence. Will you return yotur sotul to God marred, myptilaited, defi led, debased, corrutptedl so that God will cast It away as. a thing worthless for his eter'nal ptur p)ohL Or will you return it to himt en riched by the grace bestowed upon you tiot in vain, purified by hisa spirit, strength eued in the exercise of virtue, glorified by a constant seeking of those things wvhich are above, fit to be a jewel in the diademi of Christ; one of the glories of the worldl itumortal? You are now going out into the world. As you learn to know men better you will realize more fully and snore painfully that apart from God the world 1ieth In wickedness. Love not the world.

The only struggle that te set ves to be calle t sublime struggle is at fttugele inl the htuntun soul between good tile evil, ad the sublinest struggle that henvegs ever looks down upon is Al young fnatt or eong woman at overcones the power of evil and persistently rises in thaIt scale of life about which you heard this morning. The very fact that you fin sonte splendid characters going tdown easily under temtptation but proves the ower of telmptation, and therefore but entphasiz.es the grandeur of the moral victory of one who keeps himself free and unspotted from the world, of one who treads every aned of shame beneath his feet. That is the struggle that deserves to he characterized as truly sublite. That is the exhibition of force and power in comparison with which Niagara is in significant. The power there is in the moral struggle, the exhibition of those forces that belong to the heart. And not only as we see it thus, but the real power, the tenderest and sweetest force of nature belongs to the soul realm. All the beauty of nature is love beauty. All the music of nature is love music. The mightiest force of all forces in the moral and the physical realms the force of love that takes in the real of heart, and the law of self-sacrifice, of other than self. And so in the realm of thought, those thoughts that are real and eternal, those thoughts that live and thrill and glow in the hearts of men are always found t tbe acose that belong to the realm of the soul, those of life and love and utht ln youtyu t yoran conditinoftanolede as ou hae it,treday.

And God has never kept any thing secret save for the fact that there was not a mann who could understand it. We want men and women who are princes and princesses with God, to prevail in learning God's secrets. All truth is not discovered, but all truth is discoverable, and much is yet to be learned by God's capable Ismen, God's princes. We need men to prevail with men in leadership; in constructing institutions and characters. Mighty is the force re quired in the construction of character, but mightier far is the force needed to reconstruct character. If you look deep into the worst man on earth, you will find in him the image of the divine. It may be reached and brought out to per fection. This is a mighty work that God has for you to do, in the first place as young men and young women. It has always been in the history of the world that the young have done the greatest work, and never was this so true as it is today, and as it is in our own country. And not only as young men and as young women, but as college bred young men and young women. I need say but a word as to the reason for this. That lies in the simple fact that while only two per cent. of our young people ever find their way into colleges, that that two per cent. furnishes thirty per cent. of the leadership of our land. So of those who are constructing and reconstructing our country, thirty per cent. are college-bred young men. What power then resides i:, you to iould and shape and control the destinies of our nation. You who are graduating stand upon a mount of vision. Every one of you is standing upon a high mount. You are looking out upon the moving world about it. You want to take active part in it all. You are conscious of your own power as young men and and women to fight your way and make a success, and yet you must quail before the mighty work if you realize what it all is and feel your nieed of more power. Ah! the yearning of all of us to learn that secrec which Jacob had learned. There is no scarcity of power. God has provided all things necessary for the building of the world and of the men that he needs. That power is operative through truth, :hrough God's word. That power is all around us. The question for you is the question of utilizing the power that is around you. Can we lay hold of those mighty forces which are resident in your lives, resident in your healthy sound bodies, in your trained minds, in your hearts ? Well your power be constructive or destructive ? That is the question. That power that is patential in you may become actual and becomes actual through knowing and being isn touch with God. Purity of heart is the real source of your power, an exalted purpose, thinking of high ideals, noble aspirations. Never was there ideal too high to make that ideal a reality in your life. I would that everyone of us could re member the words that, were said thuis morning about faith. It is that .that links us to God, incarnates truth in mtan, the embodiment of God's word, makes man the vehicle through whom God can speak the message that He would speak to mail. Get hold of truth. Incarnate by your faith thialeson of wisdom that you have leurned, all these forces into your like, until you are the incarniation of Christian character. Live the truth, tell the truth, and you will be God's princes and dod's princesses, God's capable men and women, In the, accomuplishment of God's purpose in you and through you. The man who is anid the nman who has truth is always the man of-power. You will see It everywhere. So live that your life will become constructive, that you will become God's princes, God's capable men and women. Love the truth and ntever fail to tell it. May God help each one of us that there may be nothing destructive in our live., that we may all be factors in the con struction and reconstruction of the world for the benefit of humanity.
