GRADUATION WEEK OPENED I Continued from, page 1) and her houses of proalitutlon. "Ho alio America before the war had the selfish Ideal of wealth-getting. The average American wus a elf centered creature, who waa for America and the glorloua twentieth century. Other landa and sues did not ronrern him. He waa mora con cerned about the price of gaaollne than where he would apend eternity. "Then rame the crash and rata clyam of tha great war and nut of It a new day with a new Ideal of othera on equality with self brotherhood of all man kind. There came a realisation that 'I am my brother'a keeper.' We made a redlarovery of tha fundamen tal principle of Amerlranlam that all men are created equal. 'The manhood and womanhood of yeaterday, Intoxicated by selfish Ideala, haa been moulded Into an army of both aoldlera and home help er!, ready to make any aacrlflca that the Ideal of unlverial brotherhood may be given to all the world. "To Chrlet and hie teaching! are we Indebted for thta Ideal. It ahowa forth In all of hie program. Ilia waa a world program of Miration, re rngnlxlng the worth of a man. Tbe apoatlea who carried out hla order alao help up this Ideal. It haa been tha Meal of the church of Chrlat. The world haa been alow In accept ing tha teaching of Chrlat upon thla. but today It la receiving nnlveraal acceptance. "We mu at not be content with thla progreaa, however, but go on to the greater Ideal of tomorrow, which la an outgrowth of thla one, namely, othera above aelf, abaolute unselfish neaa, service for the aake of helping humanity. Tha greatent exanipU of thli la the matchless man of Galilee, who counted not the being on an equality with Ood, but emptied him aelf and took the form of a aervant and became obedient unto death, yea, the death on the croaa. where fore Ood highly exalted Illm. Hu manity and aelf eacrlfre muat al waya precced true greatneaa. "I have unbounded ennfldenre In thla Ideal when practiced to aolve the perplexing problems of the world of Chrlat Ian unity of luatlng peace and other reform nieaaures. Only Christianity aa a working prin ciple In the Jives of men can kill war. The world war Is giving ua many exnmplca of tit In Ideal In the ' real practice, but we do not need to be at the battle front to live thla new found principle. It la possible wherever we may be. "It la no eaay task to which I am calling yon. It means hard work and aacrlflcc, but It means success that will atnnd the teat of time. So the claaa of 1918. may you take leae aon from the failure of the ideals of yeaterday, go on growing In Ideals of today and with manliness and womanliness worthy of tha approval of Christ, determine to grow In to thla new Ideal of tomorrow. Use that Ood-glven potentiality within you In sncrlflclng for the good of others and make some definite contribution to humanity. Follow the Injunction 'Ha that would be greatest nmoni you let him be aervant of all.' " Following la the class roll: " Ella Anderson. Arllne Bunch. ' Pauline Dean. Ila DeQrasae. 811 va Duncan.
