tya ' ieuja ' id T AM highly honored in being asked to write the Foreword for the 1951 Analecta. With this feeling goes a sense of responsi¬ bility. What should one say in these crucial days to a group of students graduating from High School? I suppose one might direct his remarks along one of several lines. There is one, however, which especially appeals to me. I would urge every young person first and foremost in these days to become what he ought to become or to make life what it ought to be. The issue today is moral and spiritual. Become a strong soul moving towards completion in the light of the Ideal which I spell on purpose with a capital “I”. Concern yourself with the discovery of the Ideal, the Great Moral Impera¬ tive, the Person Magnificent. There are three ways in which you can be assisted. First, acknowledge the loftiest moral tone in society. There are three kinds of people; people of the average good life, people below the average, and people far above it who live on a lofty spiritual and moral plane. Incorporate the life of the latter in your Ideal. Second, be loyal to the royal in yourself. “To thine own self be true.” There is a self within you that insists you play the game, repudiating the cheap, low and vulgar, always favouring the morally excellent and ethically sound. 1 Give this self right of way. Third, study the great moral precepts of such as the Ten Commandments, the teaching of the prophets, the voice of the fathers; search these things out and submit your Ideal to them. Having discovered the Ideal you must openly identify yourself with it and be irrevocably committed to it. ' There is a broad, meandering way through life over which men sprawl to death. There is a narrow, disciplined, dedicated way, eternally loyal to the Ideal which leads to life. Follow this! Here is some advice given to a young man more than two thousand years ago in the Valley of the Nile. “Attain character. Make righteousness to flourish and thy children shall live . . . although misfortune may carry away wealth . . . the power of righteousness is that it endures. Established is the man whose standard is righteousness, who walketh according to its way.” —SAMUEL J. B. PARSONS. 4
