SENIOR SERMON
IS PREACHED BY
DR. W. T. 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."
