be able to promote a like faith and program in the congregations in which you serve. In matters of opinion we have taught you to be courteous and considerate of the opinions of others, “in honor preferring one another.” “e In matters of service we have taught you “to become all things to all men” in the hope of saving some. But in matters of faith and conscience we have instructed you to be absolutely loyal to the teaching of the Word of God, and to remember that you are set for the defense of the Gospel. We hope and pray that as you leave your alma mater you will continue to cherish and uphold these ideals and that you may have the courage to contend earnestly for them. You are beginning your ministries in a time when you need to be courageous, and when it will cost you dearly to keep the faith. The opposition you must face will come not only from the open and avowed enemies of Christ, but also from a more treacherous and deadly foe— those who profess to follow Christ, but who ask you to compromise with error, with evil men and movements, for power, place, prestige, or to pro- mote peace. When the temptation comes, there is but one question to ask yourselves: “Js this course right, according to the instruction of the Word of God?” Your conscientious response to the answer to this question will shield you from the tempta- tion and keep you among the faithful. Do not expect peace nor an easy course. Re- member your Master said that he did not come “to send peace, but a sword,” upon the earth and that ‘‘a man’s foes are they of his own household.” “Beware when all men speak well of you.” A straightforward course in the path of right always arouses opposition. You will not without cause seek a fight, neither will you cowardly avoid one that is essential to truth and right living. ‘To do so is the negation of all that is basic to manhood, not to mention Christianity. Jesus could not live peaceably with the re- ligious bigots of his time. He was always at war with them, although they were the teachers of the people. In the end they killed him. They fought every apostle, and killed many of them. ‘They stoned the first martyr of the church, and they hounded Paul from city to city. These haters of Christ and his apostles were not atheists. ‘They believed in God, and the Old Testament Scriptures! Many of them were members of the Sanhedrin! Through the centuries this same spirit has persisted. Roman Catholics have burned Protest- ants, and Protestants have killed Roman Catholics. Some of the most terrible crimes of history have been committed in the name of Christ and Chris- tianity. Remember this when you are asked to compromise your message, your liberty, or your character for the false promise of peace with error. Envision the nail prints in the hands and feet of Jesus, the scars of the Roman scourge on his back; behold the wounds of the scourge on the apostles, the sword that beheaded James, the scars of the stones on Stephen and Paul; and hear Paul for I bear branded on my body the marks of the say, “Henceforth let no man trouble me; Lord Jesus.” Your alma mater will be chagrined, along with you, when your Master comes, if you have only beautifully manicured, soft, delicate hands to reach up to him. We hope you will be worthy of your high calling, made glorious by the heroism and blood of the martyrs through the centuries. “Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal.” And now we must bid you a fond farewell. Do not forget that we love you as our children in the faith. We will long for your affection and your return to visit us from time to time. We shall learn of your victories with joy; our hearts will be heavy when great hardship and suffering come to you; but we will always cherish you and not fail to bear your names to the throne of grace and mercy. May you always so deport yourselves that God may be able to bless your work and give you the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord. And when our labors on the earth have been finished, may it please the Father to grant to us all a happy and eternal reunion in the land of endless day—the land of rest and peace and triumph—to which we journey. Sincerely yours, RALPH L. RECORDS.
