'THE CALLING IN LIFE" -
Rev. John Wiliams Gives a Most
Impressive Talk.
Convocation period was occupied yes
terday by Rev. John L. Williams, who
spoke upon the subject, "The Calling
v in Life." He said In part:
jb "Tlie yung man and young woman
'n the University are in the rnoEt im
oortant and happiest portion of life.
They are striving after knowlrdgo and
are preparing themselves for some vo
cation in life. Many are here to fol
low their ambitions. Tills Is not t!e
true purpose which should occupy the
mind of every one striving for knowl
edge. He should feel It is his duty
to obtain knowledge, not for the pur
pose of satisfying his own selfish ends,
but to be better qualified and better
able to follow out the destiny which
God has mapped out for each and every
one of uf.
"God does not call one class of men
to the ministry and leave all the rest
to ph k and choose for themselves
among the other occupations which
are left. He calls men to all branches
of trade, to all professions, whether It
Le that of a lawyer, a doctor, or a
blacksmith. All have a ocation lu
life, and no one should follow his al
lotted mission simply for gain; or to
satisfy his personal ambition. We can
never fulfill our mission of life until
we seek and find the mission that God
Intended that we should pursue. When
you hme found it then follow it to
the enrt.
The call to the ministry is no more
sacred than the call to any other voca
tion. Anything that carries out God s
purpose is honorable, no mntter how
meek and lowly it is. As long as one
fulfills his missions nobly and unself
ishly he becomes noble by it. A lawyer
should promote justice. That is his
mission, and when to satisfy his own
ambition and his ov. n selfish ends, he
strhes to make wrong right, to protect
evil doers, then he fails in fulfilling
the destiny mapped out for him, and
is degrading a noble profession. He
becomes contemptible. If you have
not carried out the mission which God
has given you, then you have failed in
life Culthatc your mind and soul. It
Is nil right to cultivate the body on
the gridiron or on the athletic field,
but that should not be the chief end
of the student. Make your mission one
that comes from God. Press on, ever
approaching the eternal, but never
reaching the infinite, and your life will
be a great and glorious success.

more practical than theoretical, yet
ery Instructive to a student workman.
