HERMAN WALLACE IS VESPER SPEAKER Professor at McMinnville College AS' sures Audience that His Fellow Citizens Are Oregon’s Friends Professor J. Sherman Wallace, of McMinnville College, made an earnest effort during the prelude to his ad dress on “The Making of a Prince,” at Vespers Sunday, to dispel the feeling held by some of the University stu dents and faculty, that McMinnville, because the home of H. K. Parkiscon, the originator of the referendum di rected against the University appro priations, is unfriendly to the Uni versity. “As one of the faculty of McMinn ville College, I assure you we are glad to count you among our friends, and as a citizen of McMinnville I assure you we are glad to support you. That referendum was originated by a man as much our enemy as he was yours.” yours.” Professor Wallace unfolded the sto ry of Jacob, “The Making of a Prince,” in a manner original and forceful. “Jacob was a born schemer. From his Mesopotamian mother he inherited a love of intrigue and sharp dealing. I will not pretend that this sharp prac tice with his brother and his blind fa ther were at all right, yet is he worse than many of the modern legalized pirates? You probably know of many men so crooked they have to screw their boots on, yet they stay within the letter of the.law. “Imagine the fortitude, the stead fastness of the man. Think of striv ing fourteen long years beneath the burning Syrian spn for a single ob ject, even though that object was the girl you prize above all others. If I knew you fellows, I could call out a dozen of you who, confronted with the situation of serving seven years to attain your bride would wire home something like this: “Out in the des ert, 2000 years B. C. Dear Dad: Have found a peach. Send me the price of seven years’ labor,” signed Willie— Collect. “The great crisis of Jacob’s life came when on his way to his old home. He made his way into the desert and, alone with his God, fought out the battle of faith, and at the end said ‘God is not only my God, but I am God’s man.’ ” Professor Wallace concluded his ser mon with an exhortation for the young man to set his goal and to strive for it with as great a singleness of pur pose and as great fortitude as did Ja cob. “Young man, you can succeed, you can win, but remember you must have a vision, and above all you must work.” A musical program was furnished by the Vesper Choir, assisted by Miss Forbes, violinist, by Miss Beatrice Yoran in a vocal solo, and by the Uni versity Male Quartet.
