FRANK DC WITT TALMAGE. D.D.. ! Pastor of J^ffarson Park Presby terian Church, Cnicago i ■ i » Chicago. .June 22.—Timely words of advice and encouragement to young men and women who In these summer days are graduating from college are given by Rev. Frank I>e Witt TnImage in this discourse on the text Numbers vl. 24, “The Lord bless thee.” Last week I received an invitation. It came from one of the large colleges | of the east, and it read thus: “The president, trustees and faculty of I Princeton university request the pleas- j ure of your company at the exercises to be held during commencement week.” That was all the wording the square card had on it, yet those twenty-three words had for me an absorbing interest. That invitation attracted me be cause it was sent by one of my old Sunday school scholars. As I held the square card in my hand I seemed to be standing again in the sacred room of the dear old Second Presbyterian church in Pittsburg, i could see this young man, then a little boy in short trousers, sitting at the feet of his teacher. I could hear the sweet young voices singing the old songs we always loved to sing. As I read between the lines of that invitation 1 soliloquized: “How time does slip away! My Sun day school scholar is now a grown man. Willie’s name has been changed to William. He is no longer a child. Graduating from one of the greatest universities of the world, he is about to step forth to the battle of life a fully equipped.recruit. lie is about to take his position by my side in the ranks. Wo must hereafter look upon each other as brothers.” Then as 1 still read that invitation my study room changed again. 1 seemed to be a thousand miles away. I was walking through the long cor ridors of memory It seemed to me as though I had gone buck to the time when 1 myself, gowned and capped, was marching with the senior class to j participate In the seems attending my | own graduatien. The classmates who wore then seated by my side have all I scattered. Some are ministers, some j lawyers, some dee ms, some eleetri- j ohms, some mere! ants ami some sol diors. They are living in the north and the south 7 the c;.>t ! the west. Some are dead. That graduation scene was a sad time for many <*f ns. •Col lege affections are very strong. We young men knew that we should never be to each other the same again. BANNER SALVE the most heeling salve in the world. Foley's Honey and Tar ures colds, prevents pneumonia.

I wondered as I sat there holding that Invitation in my hand if 1 could not at tins critical time of their lives say something to Inspire them, to nerve them and to encourage them not only with faith in themselves, but also with faith in God. and I bowed my head over that white invita tion and made this simple, earnest prayer: “O God, help me to say some thing that may be helpful to the young people who are graduating this spring and about to buckle on the armor of life. O Christ, may 1 be able to bring my young friends nearer to thee, so thou shalt bless them. May this plea be answered in the noble lives of those young men and women, which shall lie consecrated to thee and thy service. For Jesus’ sake 1 ask it. Amen.” A 'Word of Conuratnlation. I congratulate the young men ami women who ure graduating from the different higher institutions this June because now the financial struggle which many have undergone for the sake of an education is practically over. Here and there u young man who receives a college diploma may be the son of a rich father. lie may have had during his scholastic career no am bition; be may have gone through school and college merely because his rich parents compelled him to go; he may have spent most of his time in idleness and only worked enough to Just slip through the different exam inations by what is known in college as “cramming” with the aid of a tutor. But such a young man does not repre sent the great mass of college gradu ates. For most young men and women the acquiring of -a higher education has been a struggle, an awful finan cial struggle. Most of the college grad uates come from humble homes, and Hie education o r '“'.ese young men and women represents intense sacrifice last ing through many years not only on their own part, hut also on the part of their loved ones. Let us study as an illustration the past life of that young man who this year is graduating at the head of his class at Yale or Harvard or the Uni versity of Michigan or the University of Nebraska. In all probability lie was born in a farm house. The family was Comparatively poor. In raising enough money to send him to college ids moth er broke down her health; his sisters for years have taught school or worked in the factory to put him there; the fa ther. to put him there, dismissed the hired man who once helped upon the farm; the boy himself has had to ring the chapel bell, to work during the hot months of summer, to wait upon the College diningroom table, to tutor back ward studeuis, to work uiglit aud d.:y in order to stay there. Few people realize what the struggle of getting a college education means. One day a classmate was looking very blue and depressed. I said to him: “What is the matter? Has any thing gone wrong?” “Yes.” he an swered. “something lias gone wrong, and awfully wrong. You know father and mother do not dress very well. As 1 went around in the homes of the dif ferent boys and saw bow well their parents dressed I began to be ashamed of my parents’ wardrobe. Lately I have been upbraiding father for wear ing such shabby clothes. Last night I again asked him to get a new suit. ‘Why, father,’ I said, ‘you have not bought a new suit for three years, and mother's dress is so old and has been made over so many times that the needle marks make the cloth look like a wire netting all full of holes.’ With that my father turned ami looked at me. Tears came into his eyes as he said: ‘Harry. I am sorry you are ashamed of the way your mother and I dress: but, my boy, I have not very much money and it is hard to get along. We do not dress as well as we might because we want you and your youn ger brother to be able to get an educa tion at college. Harry, we do not dress poorly from choice. We are do ing it for you and Charles.’ Why, Talmagg.” added my classmate, "I felt so bad when I realized all that my father and mother were doing for me that I wept and sobbed like a little child.” A StratTKle For Edncntlnn. To show what a struggle a higher education might mean, the president of Hauipden-Sidney college once told this incident: Many years ago a wife and mother was left a widow with four or five fatherless little children to support. The dead father’s wish was to have his eldest son follow his footsteps into the pulpit and he n gospel minister. The mother was left penniless, with a large family upon her hands. The wish of the dead father seemed hopeless, but the mother went to work. She scrubbed, she sewed, she struggled. She made her boy study night and day. She pushed him through the preparatory school. She fitted him for college. After awhile this boy was able to help himself a little, but the mother still had to bear the brunt of the battle. The young man entered college. He passed through his four years of study and came to graduation. lie went to the president of the institution and asked if his mother could sit by his side when he graduated. The president, who knew of her noble life, gladly con sented. When the day of graduation came, the 4’ealth and fame of some of the noblest families about the region of the college town were gathered within the college walls. The exer cises went on until they reached the climax. The valedictorian was about to make his address. This young man, the son of the poor widow, stopped for ward. He was not only a brilliant scholar, who had captured every first prize in his class, hut lie was a natural born orator. With his first word a hush fell upon the assembled audience. At times his voice was as low and sweet as the singing birds making love to each other in the harvest fields. Again that voice rolled and swelled as though the stormclouds were crash ing together after the forked lightning had hurled its bolt and ripped open the heart of a mighty tree. At times the stiletto of the tongue of denuncia tion cut and slashed; then the mes sage of love would soli and plead. When the peroration was finished, the bouquets of flowers began to fall as the apple blossoms tumble at the shaking of the winds. The young man gath ered up the bouquets and piled them into the lap of the little old woman, prematurely aged by overwork, who sat there in her faded gown. As he threw those flowers into her lap lie said: “Mother, they are yours. 1 have done but little; you have done every thing.” Then, when the president of the college came forward and present ed the valedictorian with a gold medal which had been voted to him by the faculty because he had graduated with the highest average ever held by a Hampden-Sidney student, the young man turned and pinned this medal upon the bosom of the faded dress of the little old woman as lie said: “Moth er. that medal is all yours—It is all yours. You won It. not I.” How You Can Repay. So. as I see you young men aud wom en coming up to graduation day, I see other faces behind yours. I see those whose sacrifices have made this scene possible. I congratulate v.<i that for you the hard financial sl^e of get ting an education is ovei. i congratu late you that the long and arduous struggle of your loved ones in your be half is also over; I congratulate you because now you can go forth in the strength of God to accomplish some thing in this world by the power of ed ucation. You can pay back in a good, pure, true, successful life some of the rewards which the old folks, your brothers and sisters and friends have a right to expect on account of what they have done for you, and I congrat ulate you further because you cannot only repay them by the results in j\»ur own life, but because you can now help your younger brothers aud sisters to be educated as you yourself were helped. Again I congratulate you, young June graduates, because, while your intel lect has been trained and molded by the expert minds of a college faculty, your hearts have been spiritually in fluenced and helped during all these years by the prayers and the encour agement of godly parents. In this age for the specialization of talent it is ab solutely necessary for a young man to have a higher education. The land is so filled with colleges and high schools and institutes of technology and schools of all sorts that the young man who has no education or a sadly defective one is mightily handicapped in the race of life. All the different positions of Influence will be naturally filled by those who have the best training, just as those who graduated from West Point naturally rose to be the great military leaders of the civil war. Here and there we might find a great volun teer general, like John A. Logan or Al fred Howe Terry or Nelson A. Miles; but, after all, such men were the ex ceptions. Grant and Lee, Sherman and Longstreet, Jackson and Sheridan, Beauregard and Meade, Polk and Thomas. Johnston and Hooker, were all graduates of West Point. In this age of many schools and colleges I would no more think of sending my boys forth into life's battle without a higher edu cation than I would expect one of them to become a physician without enter ing a medical school or a lawyer with out studying law. The Complete Education. But. my young friend, a man who is limited merely to a mental educa tion is only half educated. The man whose intellectually developed brain is not ballasted by a morally devel oped heart is heading toward certain shipwreck. The sharper the knife that is placed In the hand of a little child the easier it is for that child to do .itself an injury. Aaron Burr was an in tellectual giant, but Aaron Burr’s wasted life was caused by a heart that was morally bedwarfed by sin. Thomas Paine had one of the greatest brains ever placed within the skull of a man; but Thomas Paine's heart was so dis eased by sin that he was u drunkard, u reprobate and a practical outcast. Lord Byron “drank every cup of fame, drank early — deeply drank — drank drafts which might have quenched the throats of millions and then died of wretchedness” because Ins heart was morally diseased. It is absolutely necessary for every young man and woman in order to a happy and suc cessful life to have a truly developed Christian heart, yoked to a truly de veloped intellectual brain. Now, young people, while the uni versity teachers have been developing your brain, in all probability the moral teachers, like your Christian father aud mother and sisters and loved ones, have been developing your heart. By your training and your past religious life you know what is right ami what is wrong. On the day when as a young man James Harper left the home of ins birth in Newtown, L. I., his mother placed her hand upon his head and said: "Jimmy, you are now about to go into the great, wide world to make a success or a failure. Remember, my boy. you go from a Christian home and do not disgrace it. If you dis grace this home, remember that on the great day of judgment before God 1 shall witness against you and tell God that you were brought up right and dedicated by our prayers to his serv ice. aud that you went to destruc tion of your own accord.” You know just as much what you morally ought to do as James Harper knew what he morally ought to do. So on this graduation day of June 1 congratulate you young people because you have had such competent teachers to develop your intellect, and 1 also congratulate you because you have had such efficient moral teachers to develop your heart. You were rocked in a Christian cradle. You were start ed forth with Christian prayers. There has never been a day in all the time you have been away to college that your father at the family altar did not make a morning prayer something like this: "God bless and protect and guard our boy and girl at college. God make John a good man. God make Sarah a good woman.” Your mother, kneeling by his side, would say: "Amen, amen! God bless my absent son and my ab sent daughter.” There was not a week in all your college life when you did not receive a letter from home. Per haps your professor of belles lettres might say they were poorly written, but Christ would say they were beau tifully written letters. In those letters your mother always wrote about her Saviour, and she always penned a sentence something like this: “My dear boy, remember that when you are studying about the ancient Greeks aud Romans you must not forget to read your Billie and study about Christ. 1 would have you know nothing but Jesus only rather than have you know everything that worldly scholars might want you to learn if thereby you would neglect to know about my Christ.” Do No Dishonor. To show how much a young man ought to appreciate the moral training of his old home, as well us the Intellec tual training which he receives at col lege, the late J. Sterling Morton, who was once a member of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, placed this epitaph upon the tombstone of his dead wife: “Here lies Caroline French, wife of J. Ster ling Morton and mother of Joy, Paul. Clark and Mark Morton.” Then the father look his four sons to the grave of his dead wik* and said: "Boys, your mother is buried here. If any one of you does anything dishonorable or any thing of which she would be ashamed If she were alive, 1 will chisel your name from her tombstone.” And so. addressing you In the same spirit, in which Secretary Morton spoke to his four sons. I now say to you. “Young men and young women, remember the teaching of your parents, who first gave the right direction to your heart and nature, and, as you would not dis honor them by ignoring their moral teaching, so 1 beg of you do not Intel lectually dishonor or disgrace your al ma mater, from whose walls you are being graduated today.” Again I congratulate you. young peo ple, because hereafter you are aliout to have the Inspiration of dally re wards. It is a hard task for a young man to work for something that Is to happen ten. twenty, thirty years hence, to work for something that is to take place so far away that it seems as- though the fact will never happen, to work for something In the way that a young man pays his first life insurance premium. 1 suppose my personal ex perience in getting insured is that of almost every other young man. When I took out n twenty year tontine life Insurance policy, 1 felt as though 1 was paying for something which would happen at the end of. eternity. I paid my first premium very grudgingly: I paid the second in the same way. At the third year I was almost ready to surrender the whole policy, but as the flying years began to go over my head ns a flock of migrating birds I began to see that the twentieth year was not so far away. Now. the last investment I would be willing to sacrifice is that twenty year life insurance policy. So the young student who works at his studies is sometimes willing to slight them because graduation day. like death, seems to be far away at the edge cf the horizon. The more the student works the farther graduation day seems t o recede. But. my young friends, from now on you shall see the direct returns from your daily labors. An aged writer once figuratively de clared, “The longest half of a man's earthly fife is that in which lie lives before twenty years of age is reached.” I think that statement is true. No matter whether a man lives to be sev enty. eighty, ninety or even a hundred years old, the longest half of life is that which he passes during the first twenty years. When we were young, time seemed to have leaden feet. Time, like a snail, would crawl. It never walked or ran or flew. To a little boy the last week before Christmas is almost endless. Every second has the longevity of an adult’s hour. The week seems as long as the average adult’s year. But as we grow older the years seem to have seven leagued boots. They grow so fast that they almost seem to be born with gray hairs. To the man in active life January seems almost to tread upon the heels of December, and spring and autumn seem to be twin sisters. My young friends, though you may hardly he out of your teens, yet in the sense in which I speak you Have already lived half of your life. During that first half you have had a hard struggle to get an education. At times yon were almost in despair. But In answer to your mother's and father's prayers, and also to your own. God always came to your rescue. You were aide to got through somehow. Here you are at graduation day. So, in the latter part of your fife, if you trust God and do your best he will surely see you safely through. You are going to have Roubles, and hard troubles. You are going to stumble over the hillocks of new made graves. You arc going to have injustices prac ticed upon you. But if you will place your hand in the Divine Father’s hand He will never let you go. A Story uf Heroic* SncrlBee. He is aide to deliver as well as to guide. To illustrate this truth Dr. New ton. the t: t( d English divine, used to tell a wonderful story of vicarious suf fering. The scene was laid in the little German village of Ragenbach. One day a number of people were gathered in the large room ui the village inn. As the party was merrymaking, sud denly a huge dog appeared at the open door, the only door which afforded egress from the room. The monster’s eyes were bloodshot; his long red tongue was protruding from the mouth; his lips were covered with a mass of white foam. At a glance every one saw that the dog was mad. Some of ,the guests were too frightened to even pray. From every lip went the cry: "Mad dog! Mad dog! My God. what shall we do?” With that the swarthy blacksmith arose. IIis arms were a mass of knotted muscles. “Stand back, men!” he cried. “There is need of only one man dying here. If necessary, I will lie that man.” So, while the vil lage blacksmith leaped forward and clutched the mad dog by the throat and bore the struggling beast to the floor, the assembled people made their escape. The mad dog buried his teeth in the arms of the blacksmith, but he would not let go until all his friends were saved. Then he flung the mad dog into the room, where the brute was afterward shot. The brave black smith then went to his shop and took a long, strong chain. He riveted one end of that chain about his body and the other end about the anvil. Then he turned to his friends and said: “Now I am safe and can do no harm. Bring me food and water while I live. Keep out of my reach when I am mad. The rest I leave with God.” Soon the aw ful paroxysm of hydrophobia was clutching at his throat In nine days the brave blacksmith’s agony was end ed. God has made it possible for us all to live right for time and for eternity by sacrificing bis only begotten Sou for us. As the village blacksmith died in the chain which he had riveted to his own body, so Christ died for us upon the cross which he himself carried to Calvary.’ Now, my young friends, who are about to graduate this June day. I com mit your earthly aud heavenly life into the protecting care of your Divine Father. And as your days of learning are not closed, but have just com menced, ns you go from college into the great school of life, I bid you per form your tasks well. If you will do this by the power of the Holy Spirit there shall come a day when you shall be participants in another graduation scene. Then you shall have a diploma taken from the Lamb's book of life. That diploma shall be written in the blood of Jesus Christ. That diploma shall allow you to graduate from an earthly preparatory school into the great university of heaven, where higher * lessons and nobler service await you and where you shall never cease to learn about the goodness of God and to sing the praises of Christ and his redeeming lov*.
