HAIL anti FAREWELL Crutluatvs at Fnnenrtlia ! With happy hearts and boundless hopes you are preparing to leave the halls of Con¬ cordia and to sally forth, diploma in hand, in pursuance of the immediate or remote goals which you have set for yourselves. As you go forth you cannot refrain from taking one more wistful, lingering look at the years, which you have spent in delightful association with fellow-Christians and in purpose¬ ful application to your studies at your Alma Mater. She has tried to be good to you and to serve you well. Gratefully you acknowledge that here a lasting foundation has been laid in the sound Christian principle that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” You have learned that a truly successful life can be reared on no other foundation than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Upon these firm, secure and eternal principles you have begun to raise the superstructure of your life. Your preliminary education has been finished and now you set out in hopeful anticipa¬ tion either to continue your studies or to apply yourself to some immediate tasks. No one of you, I am sure, will regard his or her education completed. Instruction indeed, may end in the schoolroom, but education ends only with life. Wittingly or unwittingly, by choice or by chance you will continue to add stone to stone, beam to beam, to your life-structure. Everything you do or leave undone will in some way contribute to build your character, your personality, your Christian self. Continue, then, to build wisely and well, so that when in life’s tests the floods come, and the winds blow and the storms rage, you,—securely anchored to Christ, the Rock of Ages, and built up in Him,—will be able “to withstand in the evil day and having done all, to stand firm and immovable unto the Day of Christ.” With an affectionate, reluctant farewell, we commend you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled which fadeth not away, reserved for you in heaven.
