truth in its thinking as never before.
Conditions in the world would be

“Whatsoever things are honest.”
Here St. Paul means those things
that are reverent, or honorabki. or
venerable. Let your mind be famil

two . . . things that are “lovely and
of good report” . . . think on these.
For several years, we -have been
hearing much about a suhiect called
“Creative Living.” That is a splen
did subject for us to consider, and
especially our young people. We
need more people who live creative
ly. There is nothing that will do
more toward creative living than
creative thinking. Before a man’s
life can become creative, he * must
have creative thoughts. Our thoughts
mold our action. What we are and
what we become and what we do is
very largely determined by what
we thihk. The Scriptures have it:i
“As a man thinketh in his heart, so |
is he.” We look out over the world
and see solid seeming; realities in the
form of human institutions—in gov
ernments and inventions and ma
chines and devices of all kinds. All
of these things are but the embod-
' thoughte -of men arid woinen.
Back of each one, there was con
scious or unconscious thoi^ght which
was transformed into visible lasting
form. The great masterpieces of
art are the thoughts of men like
Leonardo DaVinci and Raphael andj
Rembrandt, transformed upon the
canvas into pictures of lasting beau
ty. The classics in the world of
music came out of the thinking of
men like Handel and Bach and Men
delssohn. In English literature, it
was the thinking of men like John
Bunyan who gave us “Pilgrim’s
Progress,” and John Milton who
gave us “Paradise Lost.” In relig
ion, it was the thinking of men like
St. Paul who gave us these immortal
Epistles of the New Testament, and
St. Augustine, who snapied the the
ology of the church, and Martin
Luth^ who gave us the Protestant
reformation and modem civilization.
These are the men of the ages—who
have achieved immortality through
their thinking, and who live on and
on throui^ the centuries. My young
friends, if you desire to adtieve
greatness, you must first think great
thoughts; you must think creatively,
and then translate those thoughts
into life and reality. And here is
Paul’s immortal pattern for think
ing: . . . “Whatsover things are tnie,
whatsoever things are honest, Ydiat-
soever things are just, sdiatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things
are lovely, whatsoever things are of
good report, if there be any jrirtue,
and if there be any praiae, think on
thaae thinga.” -- .
