I V. Chester K. Lehman Dean and Registrar To the Class of 1946: Christian greetings to you who are on life's threshold. lf you would attain to God's purpose for your life, its motivation must be the very highest, purest, and noblest. From one of the elegant refrains of l'aul's immortal Hymn of Praise comes a most inspiring and impelling incentive, That We should be to the praise of His glory. This is at once funda- mental, vital, all embracing. ln this Hymn converge the manifold purposes of God. To God the Father is ascribed the source of all spiritual bless- ings, the choosing us to holiness, and the adoption. Through Christ the Son We have redemption and forgiveness of sins. The sealing is of the promised Holy Spirit. The refrain to such sublime and majestic purposes of God can be nothing less than To the praise of his glory. And when the Hymn touches the life purposes of us Whom he has chosen, it boldly sings that we should be to the praise of His glory. How could Words more meaningfully speak the supreme motivation of life. The heart must be laid bare, its most secret purposes discovered. The full and unreserved setting apart to God allows no reservation for self. Out vain ambition and proud self-gloryingl How Wonderful it is that poor redeemed sinners constitute a worthiness to be to His glory! Witli the searching of hearts follows the building of integrity in character. Vessels meet for the Nlasterls use must be holy. This requires a purity of the mind, of the emotions, and of the will. As Godls workman- ship We are created again in knowledge, righteousness and holiness of the truth,-God's poems in truth. Perfection of character alone does not fullill Paulls idea of our being 'ito the praise of His glory. A dynamic in life is assumed, that which will lead others to the same transformation of character. A desperate need exists for servants of God with a passion for souls, for young men and Women who will hazard their lives for the cause of Christ. hiore Bordens of Yale are needed, more --s of Eastern Nlennonite School. This space waits to be filled by members of the Class of 1946, those who will be to the praise of His glory. l13l
