ELMORE Man 1 1 Controller of His Own Destiny Declares Minister In Discussing "The Web of the Fates." SEVENTY SENIORS HEAR ADDRESS The senior pennon for the winter graduating class delivered at the Fiist Baptist church Sunday morning. Seventy of the class, besides the friends and relatives who thronged the church, heard the sormon on "The Web of the Pates," preached by Dr. WUer T. Elmore. The idea that men have a fixed destiny which nothing can move hag come down from the earliest times," Dr. Elmore began. "In the first Greek mythology that we know any thing about there are the three fates. The same is true with the Northmen, who hail three goddesses with much the same duties as the Greek fates. Philosophers believe the same. A fow m.-n lure and there have tried tc Mom the tide by just saying, 'A man has an individuality,' without being able to assign any reasons." "The soldiers are fatalists, too," Dr. Elmore decalred. "Each of them goes into battle believing that if the shell with his name on is shot, he's going to be, too, and that is all there is to it. A doctor friend of mine told me that he had never yet lost a case of piivumonia. then knocked on wood lest some of the jealous fates hear and send him something to teach him a lesson. AU of us are more or Jess fatalists in one way or another." Modern science leans the same way. according to Dr. Elmore. The scien tists, he stated, say that the universe was once just one big chaos of sta! dust, electrons which have at last made the life of today. "That means" he declared that some day they'll invent an X-ray so that you can look into your brain and watch the molecules move around just as you can now, by using the present X-ray, see your heart ber.t. "Tlu-n," asked Dr. Elmore triumph antly, "what can that brain say when it looks out and s?es somebody look ing in at it? There must be some thnig besides the mechanically act ing molecules of the brain, and th;l something is your individuality, which, as our text said, has been put in you by God for you to take out and k something with. It was the same way with two men who had been writing to each other extensively ou this subject. The one backing fatal ism had sent the other a pretty good i argument on the subject. The other wrote back that if it was not himself who had sent the letter, but just a mechanical molecular process, the l3t ter did not come from him but from whom? As you study further you will find more and more obstacles of this kind to block your path, but ycr. can comfort yourself that you are not the first to meet them. "For instance," Dr. Elmore illus trated, "there are a number of per sons in this congregation who should have died a long time ago, that is, physically but who have not died for the simp'.e reason that hey have taken their destinies in their own hands and made themselves live. Theodora Roosevelt did the same and. after tha doctors had given him up. came back from the prairies a well man. "Not content witli li.-.tning to the news of Main street, Abraham Lincoln took up his own destiny and made it what he wished. George Washington did the same," Dr. Elmore continued "Had ho wibhinl he could have chosen a life of ease and worthlessness, bat he pitferred to go into the forest, sleeping under the open skies, aa' work out his own destiny. "These flowers here cannot govern their own destinies, but you can govern yours," Dr. Elmore asserted. "God said that He made man in His own likeness and that must have meant that He had given him an in dividuality that makes him the con troller of his own destniy If he will3 to be." Alumni Notes.
