2 THE HYAK COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS . “From Strength to Strength!” Up yonder on the walls of their room in plain view of all who enter it and in constant view of all who are wont to use it for the purpose of study, are the words, “From Strength to Strength ” It is the motto of this school, the motto in which is set forth the constant and steadfast aim and purpose of this institution of learning for all who are entrusted to its foster- ing care. Each class, as it comes and goes, may have its particular precept, expressing according to its own judgment its individual endeavor, but this, year after year, stands as the motto of all and for all, pointing the way along which all are to be led, and giving to each one walking in this way new courage and incen- tive to press ever onward and upward. Since it belongs then in such a complete sense to this school, as a whole, I trust it may not be amiss if I take it this morning, as I was about to say, the text, until I remembered that the sermon was preached some three days ago, so I will rather say, as the motto of the address which it is my privilege to make to this school and its friends who are met here to celebrate the going forth of another class, as we fondly trust fitted and trained in some, degree for the duties and responsibilities of life. From Strength to Strength. They are ancient words penned centuries ago by some sing- er of ancient Israel to whom the name “the Psalmist” is given. As we read these words, together with those in the midst of which they are set, we may catch at least some faint glimpse of the picture which was before the mind ' s eye of the Psalmist. He had been singing of the blessedness of those whose privi- lege it is to serve God, abiding continually in His temple. “Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house, they will be al- ways praising Thee.” But now his thoughs turn to those with- out and yet those whose faces are turned toward the temple toward which they are ever pressing onward, a company of pilgrims, in whose hearts are the ways as they seek the goal above and before them. Perchance it is a steep and toilsome way. Perchance it is rough and rugged, filled with difficulties and discouragements. Now they are wearied and worn and the temptations to turn aside into some smooth and easy path are many. Or now they are almost ready to sink down in de- spair, to give up the journey, since with all their toil and labor the goal of their hopes still seems so far away. But the ways are in their hearts, and from their lips there starts a song, and once again, with new determination they grasp their pilgrim
