Gabbard, now a trustee of Herea College. Except for the introductory para graph, which has especial reference to the occasion cf the address, it is printed in full. In view of the approaching Com mencement, we believe it is especial ly timely and valuable. I realize, young men and women, that your faces are to the future -and that your eyes are uplifted. 'It is rieht that this should be so. Your I hearts should beat eagerly and pa' sionately as you think of the future! wheij what you achieve or fail to achieve' will count in the vital issues I of life. I know you are interested in ' achievement because it is charged with the thought of that hour when your successs will be made or lost. This hour for you may be a moment as it was with Dewey at Manila Bay. It may be for a short period as it was with Christ. It may be for the years of a long and fruitful service. The point is that that hour for you is coming when your contribution to life will be made. When it comes, there are certain great forces that will, consciously or unconsciously, play a prominent part in the out come of your life. You cannot but be interested in these forces so dy namic in life, and I ask you to think with me for a little while about them. Let us pause for a moment to rec ognize that the practice of these great life principles may not put our names in the catalog of the world heroes. There are different stand dards of greatness. When God sent his angel to herald the birth of John the Baptist, it was announced, ''He shall be great in the sight of the Lord." This did not mean that the world would count Him great. The achieve ments that win the approval of the world are not always the achieve ments that count for most in life. Young men and women in college are told that they are to be the leaders of men. They believe this and right ly so. But going out in life their leadership is often rejected by the world and they find tasks awaiting them that are coarse and common. Somewhat mystified, they wait for the world to tecognixe their ability and give them a worthy position. This recognition never comes. We often fancy that prominent people do prominent things. A glance at their daily schedule would likely show that for the most part their time is spent on matters no more alluring or ro- mantic than those that fall to most I men. Charles Kingsley, in speaking of his daily work said, it usually consisted "In visiting a few poor cot tagers, in sitting beside one or two sick people, in talking with a farmer across the hedge." We bear much talk of "a man's job." and the phrase We are all helped by the knowledge has come to mean something that is of Lincoln's achievement, of Crom big and showy. Very often a man's well's endurance, of Paul's seal and job is to do something that no one j of Job's patience. The biographies else will do because they think it lsof these men tell us precisely where beneath them. Thru the imafirerv of i were the hidings of their power, the prophets people were looking for great things when the Messiah should! come and were bitterly disappointed when He came to engage in what to them were such commonplace things. I am not sure that the people of our own day are unlike the people of old . -. . . . ... in this respect, it ougnt to cooi mc ; feverish ambition of men when they remember that Christ's life was a re buke to those who feared that they would be belittled by common tasks.

All around us talents are going to waste in waiting for big opportuni ties. The soul grows evef smaller that thinks of its Usk as beneath it. On one occasion General Stonewall Jackson wanted a bridge over the Shenandoah River over which bis army could pase. He ordered his en gineers to build a bridge. He also called bis wagonmaeter and black smith and gave them orders to get the wagon train across. At day break the blacksmith came and called General Jackson and said, "General, we've got the wagon and artillery across." Jackson was greatly as-1 men who have seen visions, wno nave tonlshed.

Let us do away with some of this nonsense and get back to the (rood common sense of General Jack son's blacksmith and wagonmaster.

Oliver Cromwell expressed the truth when he said, "No man knows how high he will rise when he climbs into the chariot wheels of God and surrenders himself to the horseman. Believing that they were doing what God wanted them to do, the Pilgrim Fathers left their lands for rough and untried shores.

Apart from God there ia no real worth or value in man. Apart from God his soul is dwarfed and fettered. A mountain youth was one day walking down the streets of a little village. He saw chained in the widow of a grocery store a beautiful American eagle. He walked inside and aske.i if money would purchase the bird. Three dollars, sir," was the reply. He placed the money on the counter, took the bird, and walked out of the door and down the street A crowd of interested bystanders followed him. When he reached the out skirts of the village he set the eagle on the fence, took from its feet the chains that bound it, and, stepping back, he wanted. The eagle lifted one foot, then the other. It spread one wing and then the other. Finally, spreading ita great wings, it began to rise higher and higher until it was lost in the face of the sun. Turn ing to the bystanders, the young man said, "Boys, when I used to care for my father's sheep yonder on the I at t mocntaia top, I used to see that bird. I knew him in the window. I could not hear to see him chained down there. Ilia home ia up there among the rocks and craiga." Man's real life is up yonder above the sin and sel fishness of the world, and God has thru Christ broken every fetter, ao that we may, if we will, rise to our real life. Until we reach thia life we can never have the spiritual power . which Is life's most potent influence Harry Kmerson Foadick tells the story of s derelict that waa aunk in one of the tidal rivers near New Tork.
