Baccalaureate Address was to irzinsiorin the world into the Kingdom of God. Wotild that e'.'erj.' one might receive the baptism of fire, might be filled with the pa-sion uf Christ! b la-sus not only taught people to do something,-He taught tht-ni lu he something! 'lihere are two ways of being something. Une is lu sei before you an ideal and laboriously to try to build up the virtues necessary to it and cut out the vices that impede it. This is slow and hard. Jesus did not do this. He did not say to men. You ought to be good. You must cultivate this virtue to- day :uid the next to-morrow. You must get rid of this fault now and the other next week! He said, Your sins are forgiven. You :ire Gods child. Go in peace and sin no more. He did not tell them they ought to be something. He made them feel they were something! XfVhen they felt it they were it! This is faithg this is the new birth. l-le will send you out into the world with that conviction in your hearts! Now are we the children of God, -- to rejoice in tribulation, to triumph over injustice, to be brave and glad and true. Come, then, to Him, that at His touch you may feel the sweeping and rushing of the mighty wind upon your heart, the kindling of the tongues of flame upon your mind,-and go forth in the high consciousness that you are the children of God, with one great purpose in your hearts,-to follow Christ and to transform the world into the Kingdom of God!
