The - - BETH ANNUA I 1932 « « » »» To the Seniors A picture presents a young man at the close of his clay’s work as he stands at his bench removing the apron and looking out on the street below. The question arises, What shall I do with my evening? From his vantage point he is able to see various possible choices. There is a cheap show blazing its advertisement. There is also an evening school with its bright sign. Beyond these is a church with its glow of welcome. The next few hours mean liberation from all rules and restraint. He may do as he pleases. What shall he please to do? Underneath this picture arc the words: “The hours of fate for young people—between seven and ten.” But all life is something like that. It is a series of choices. We may do as we please with our hearts and lives—and take the consequences. Any man may commit physical suicide. Any man may also commit moral and spiritual suicide. Judas did both—in the midst of the brightest environment that ever glowed on the heart of mortal man! Yes, we may do as we please, and take the consequences. We may follow the example of John, a youth of nineteen, and lean on His breast, and wish most of all to be called the disciples that He loves, and build, as it were, the risen Christ into our lives, and stand like Gibraltars of strength through future years—if wc choose. There is much of beauty and of good all about us to feed on. Why feed on poisonous weeds? The highest life that wc can live is a matter of “give and take”. Wc take the best and then we give out that best to a needy world. All right then; the secret for the future success of each member of the Class of '32 is to use every opportunity for self development, and then also to use every opportunity for service. The lesson is never learned, the work is never done, until we hear the loving voice say, “My child, come home.” Life is very short. Hasten to fill it with the fulness of God. May the richest blessing of Him who has loved us crowd the young lives of the Class of ’32 to the very brim. By Henry Wixgbladk T uxniy-three
