deals only im eErrainties. When the
human be.st is realized, there is Yet
much to desire. The highest social
distinction. th- noblest human attain
ments, the fine,t products in art or
letters, earth's choicest flowers plucK
ed from te richest trees of human
achievements, whilst they satisfy for
a time and may not be despised, yet
they can not abide. What will abide
is that character whose image ap
proaches more and more nearly from
day to day, that of the man. Christ
Jesus, God's incarnate Son, the Re
deemer of all life. the Savior and
Lord of the race. Only as His image
and superscription are found impress
di' and written upon humanity's heart,
only as His life,-becomes, and linally
is, man's life, can ultimate satisfac
tion and final triumph be attained.
Members of the Class of 1911 and!
students of Newberry coliege. the one
thing which you must all recognize to
make your life's career a success is
that there is a vast difference between
appearances and reality. Things are I
not what they seem. I believe the
present age is emphasizing more cour
ageously the real thing, that makes
life worth while. 13ue tnere Is yeti
plenty of danger that the reality of
things may take on so materialistic a
conception as to narrow reality to
what we can see, handle, exploit and
manage successfully. The great dan
-ger of this time is to eliminate the
spiritual from the real, to forget what
one wrote who was a rare progressive
in thought, "that the things which are
seen are temporal, but the things
which are not seen are eternal." The
spiritual varieties amle in danger of
being either underestimated or over
looked, in this great, moving age of
progress and achievements. Men are
~ilined to build for themselves, tem-2
ry and flimsy edifices, out of false
and ideals, when they might be
blIding eternal, imperishable struc
turms, in which, unafraid, they might
meet every storm that sweeps life's
plain.
I am not recomnending ,to you at y
the beginning of your 1ie a weak pro
gram of self-surrender to another. I
am (and I trust I have shown it) e
pointing you to the divine plan of a
'the reedemned life in Christ as the '3
noblest, best and manliest. You can
not appropriate any ideas that will
magnify your manhoual anu. glorifya
your person, as will your utter and
complete allegiance and devotion to e
Jesus Christ. No possible career 'is I
comparable to that, wnichi is hid with
Christ in God. No one for a moment
would deem that a false standard set
up by great King Arthur for his a
knights of the Round Table:y
"'My knights are sworn to vows e
Of utter hardihood, utter gentleness,
And, loving, utter faithfulness in love a
And uttermost obedience to the king." a
It is true a peerless Lancelot under e
these mightiest vows to his king may
turn faithless, "His honor rooted in
dishonor." Yet every one 'honors the
knight who thus vows. A Leonidas
and his 300 make a mighty appeal to e
men through the ages. They handed
themselves over to their country in a
an act of utter surrender. They ex
emnplifited the patriotism of him who
wrote of his country:
r
"Our hearts, our hopes, our all with a
thee, jb
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, b
our tears,
Our faith, trumphant over our fears,
Are all with thee, are all with thee."
No one doubts such devotion to his q
own country as the reasonable sacri- a
lice and surrender of a patriotic soul.
None can be found who would envy a
him. All -try to emulate those who C
thus are able to sink themselves and b
their own interests in that of their
native land. When to save her name
and honor, to advance her standiard b
and to secure her triumphs, a Crom
well, a William the Silent, or a Wash
ington,' or thousands of the world's
uncrowned heroes and kings, have
made good in the shock of battle, with
a ri.im visaged enemy before them,
amid shot and shell, and destruction 0
vast and terrible, their devotion and
their patriotism, with uncovered
eads men bow by their honored dust.
mourning their loss and rejoicing in
their Ipyalty.c
Let not the thought be entertained
for a moment that the great conflicts
of life are past and that heroes are
not needed for the day to come. Never
in the past was there greater possibil
ity for noble deeds than now in this
'a
cme on the scene of action. If the'
surrender of 'himself, according to the*
.t
plan of a redeemed life, made St. Paul*
what he was, so that his great soul I
still marches on in human affairs to
day as 'one of the mightiest forces,
let the thought not be entertained for
a moment that it is ignoble or weak c
to get strength for the present mighty f
struggle at the same source from
which he got his-the all-power of the
victorious Christ. He spoke true
words who said:
"Our fathers to their graves have gone
Their strife is past, their triumpn
won.
B3ut sterner trials wait the race
Which rise in their nonored place,
A moral warfare of the crime
A.d folly of an evil time.
So let it be in God s own might,
We gird us for the coming fight,
And strong in Him Whose cause is
ours,
in conflict with unholy powers,
We grasp the weapons He has given,
The Light, the Truth, and Love of
heaven."
Young ladies and gentlemen, you
are to be congratulated on coming
ipon the stage when the great moral'
ind spiritual issues are being joined
is never before. "Life is a progress,
.ot a station," and its best chances
ire in the future. Do not believe any
nodern prophet who comes *vith a
rwentieth century religion with which
1e wishes to supercede that of the
Pirst century.
'The new religion-4fina-L perfect,
pure
Vas that of Christ and Love and His
great command."
And I firmly believe with another
hat:
'Its coming yet for 'a that
Chat man to man the world over
hall brothers be for 'a that."
It is this great struggle for a united
ace which remains yot .to be maae,
nd no ti'me has been so loud in its
alls to join the conflict, as the pres
nt. Every educated man ought to
tudy to know what share he should'
ake in Christ's serious plan for him
.nd for the race in this mighty con
lict. And before he can do this, he
aust accept the obligations of a re
eemed life. Then there will be nol
inger that he will run away from the
bligations of the great adventure, fori
,life of self-indulgence and ease.
Vhen your crown can oe gained by a
ray of hardihood, obedience and utter
urr:ender to the Prince of Leaders, II
*m sure every one of you in the great
truggle will enter the list, 'bearing
n your armor His crest, on your lips
[is watchword, and -in your heart His
ove for others. Thus in your life
urpose there will grow the flower of
[is charm' and His .reward. Moving
m'ong 'men, opportunities will be
ours in following Him, with "might
uil hand to strike great blows at
aitiffs and at wrongers of tu orz.'
You will be confronted agam and
gain with the question, what after
11 is it ill worth? Will it pay? What
; the value of a life thus surrender
d? You have your answer ready and
;is in terms of the values of heaven.
Slife is worth .iust what is put into
:, and if you have heaven's parchase
rice. as th-e estimate of yours, heav
n's love, heaven's stamp upon it and
eaven's choicest gift to make it real
nd useful, then you are worth just as
iuch as He estimated you to be worth,
hen He redeemed your life, "Not t
rith gold and silver," or things cor
uptible, 'but with His infinite sacrifice
nd His precious blood. No life gan I
e mean that has been made poss:ile
y 'heaven's purchase.
What can you do, is 'the question
1en wilsoon be asking of you? You
ill make answer to this practical
uestion in , terms of your training,1
nd rightly. But when your spiritual
ature is being estimated among men
nd your spiritual powers are being
anvassed, when your character is
eing weighed, what answer will you
1ake as to your assets in the coinage
f God ? Will you be able to say, I ~
ave handed over my life to Jesus
hrist and am not run.e uwn What ~
am worth is what He has in me. 1
(
y valuation is what He puts on me. -
[e is my life and the life I now live I
ye by faitei in Him. This, young gen-'
emen, will secure a crown for every
ne, which will be studd;ed with the
~wels of heaven, which will pass cur
ent also in the courts of humanity,
ut which best of all would admit to E
1e great triumphal procession which
-ill pass through the gates into the'
ity whose maker and builder is God.
Remember the time is coming when
o value will count which does not
ear the seal of the king. Only a'c
>rmed, conformed, redeemed charac
ar. ripened on the fields of human
chievement 'in righting wrongs andj

tving again the life of self-abnega
ion that our Master lived, will give e
our lives that proper worth, will
ring you up to the standard of your'2
afinite purchase.c
