Presidents Address E recognize ourselves to be great debtors to the grace of God. Nine- teen hundred years ago the greatest gift that the Master of the uni- verse Himself could give came to us in the form of jesus Christ and His gospel of salvation. XVe are also great debtors to humanity. lVhile Christianity is, as it has ever been, the world's mightiest force, there is yet a vast multitude of men who have never known the name of jesus. nor felt the matchless peace of the Christ life. Even now, as in Livingston's day, there arises the smoke of a thousand villages where the Message of the Cross has never been spoken. As we stand at the great Open Door of youth, we see just two ways open before us. Ours is the duty to choose between two alternatives. One is The world owes me a living, and I am going to get it, while the other says. l owe the world a life, and I am. going to give it. Then as we gaze through this Open Door out over the ripening fields of harvest, two mighty calls come to us. The world points with enticing linger to the wealth, the oppor- tunity, the fame, and the pleasure of this age, and speaks the magic word Gold I On the other side stands the Master, pointing with His nail-pierced hand 'to the whitening fields of the human harvest, and saying Col Then we lift our eyes. look beyond, and behold as a lurid vision the dying, sin-sick world, crying for help and lifting up its hands after God as the darkness ot eternal night begins to settle. Back of it all, silhouetted against the sunset sky is seen the Cross of Christ. Thus the challenge comes to us. XYhat shall it be, the call of gold, or the call of God? Hihen once the call to service for God has come, there can be no satisfaction of life until we answer aright. If we, after seeing that vision. should seal our hearts against the call of the Master, even though that call may mean sacrihce of gold and fame, we shall have stifled forever the real man within us, we shall have passed our future and ceased to live. VVe are bound to our fellow men with cords of influence. If we neglect to give every power to save men from going over the precipice to eternal death, what else shall we be doing but cutting the rope? So in choosing our aim, we have chosen the answer to our lives. As we realize even a little of our great debt to our mothers and fathers, to our Crea- tor, and to a lost humanity, there can be but one answer: Go In response to that call, we give our lives to the happiest and most glorious work that has ever been committed to man, To finish the taskf' ll'agc Tliirtyl
