BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS
(Continued from page 5)
fluent speaker and great things were
predicted of him. He said, "My ed
ucation is sufficient. I haven't time
for any more preparation," and en
tered his work at once. The other
young man, less favored by nature,
decided on a college course. He was
por and would have to work his way.
It meant years of wearisome sacri
fice. Meanwhile his companion was
a rising young man. When tbe
younger man graduated from college
his companion was far ahead of him
and like him he had to begin at the
bottom and work up. Both men had
to win on their merits. In a few
years the younger had overtaken the
older and even then was considered
his superior, measured by any stand
ard. A few years more and he bad
left him far behind. Both were hon
ored and useful men but the college
training told In the long run. The
non-college graduate reached a place
and stopped, he could get no higher,
but the other seemed never to reach
his limit but kept steadily rising.
A young man who had taught sev
eral years at an average wage of $30
per month, spent four years in col
lege and without additional experi
ence In teaching was offered $95 per
month, and a little later commanded
a position at $1,800 per school year.
But money was only a part of the
. .ierence, ana indeed the smallest
'part cf the consideration: for th-re
'""re to him throurh a better educa
tion, a larger Influence, multiplied
opportunities for good, a higher ap
preciation of life's duties, a wider
range of vision, a richer life, a larg
er manhood and keener enjoyment
of all that life held for him. He waa
worth more to himself, more to hu
manity and more to God.
But I need not multiply illustra
tions nor go out of Alliance to find
mem, ror out or your own town have
gone young people for higher educa
tion and today are making splendid
records in life. True, some college
graduates are failures and some self
made men a great success, but the
self made men are far in the minor
ity and even they could have wielded
a still greater influence with the drill
and discipline of college life, and
I none admit it more quickly than
luey.
The world's standards are advanc
ing and he who would win a place
for himself, and do his duty by bis
fellow man, must make ample prep
aration. The value of a college
training, you wil estimate according
to your conception of life. A low,
base conception of life means no am
bition for a better education. Wealth
may or may not He in the direct
pathway to the goal. It matters not.
To live is more than to have. The
wider our horizon the larger -our
pleasures from our view of the land
scape. That was a fine view I got
fro.n the first low range of moun
tains, but as I climbed higher and
higher and stood at last upon the
highest peaks of the snowy range,
the view was awful In its sublimity,
marvelous in its grandure, indescrib
able In its loveliness. It's a splen
did view you get today from the
point to which you have climbed la
your school life, but it is not com
parable with the wide range of vis
ion that awaits you when you have
climbed to tbe heights that are yet
before you. History, science.litera
ture, philosophy, will all minister to.
the enlargement of your vision and
capacity for life. With increased
knowledge will come increased pow
er to do. The whole universe will
have a message for you and the un
folding and enrichment of your soul
will be of vastly more concern to you,
and infinitely more enjoyment than,
the filling of your coffers. You will
live more nearly at your best as God
intends you should, and be the more
willing and the better able to re
spond to the cry of the world's need.
O, I pray that God will make you
good climbers and that you cease not
to climb until you have reached the
highest pinnacle. I appeal to parents
this evening encourage your children,
to climb. I appeal to young people,
"Seek first the Kingdom of God and
his righteousness" and then seek the
larger intellectual life as he may op
en the way for you. Without Christ'
as guide you can never climb so high
nor be in any position all that you
might be with him. If Christ be
not at the helm to Bteer your boat,
sooner or later it must go upon tbe
rocks.
If perchance circumstances have
so shaped themselves as to keep
some of you out of tbe education you
would love to have, fail not in secur
ing a knowledge of God, for hie
friendship will brighten the darkest
place in this life and make all etern
ity glorious.
Oo1 b'.e?s yon young reop'e, and
may you clixb higher and still high
er ana r.iwhys wiin your bsxd
