GOSHEN COLLEGE RECORD. 9 Von der Liebe Lust and Leid Und geniessen-fern vom Leben- Gluchlich die Zweieinsamkeit'l. Or it may have been because our father and mother expected much of us, it may have been the encourage- ments and little advices given by our high school professors, it may have been the quiet expectations of our friends, it may have been the personal touch of our faculty during the few years we have been here, it may have been the wholesome communion with those few very intimate friends whose sympathies never faltered. All these and many other sources have contri- buted their part. But from whatever source our lives have been influenced, we acknowledge our indebtedness. We realize that it is not of ourselves that we are what we are. VVhat little things we have accomplished would not have been possible if it had not been for many of you. We however do not wish to infer that our own wills had no important part in determining the things that should mould us, that we were victims of the environments into which we were thrown. We had difficulties to meet. We had intellectual, moral, and religious struggles which you know nothing of. Our lives were not al- ways as pure as you thought them. And at such times when everything that was good seemed to have forsaken us, when we trod with uncertain foot- steps towards the abyss of despair, when we were losing our grip on the Masters hand, at such times it was only through the will divinely given us that we could return to a few moments of reason and see that good was yet in the world. But it was in those mom- ents of reason that your seemingly in- significent, perhaps unconscious, good and bad qualities would loom before us, when we could clearly see that your worth depended upon your worthy as- pirations, that we with determination vowed to tread the path where beauty leads us. But just such occasions have made it possible for us to more fully learn to profit by your mistakes and by what you have done well. We have learned to appreciate what is good in all of you,-there is some good in the worst of us. And we can with all sincerity say that what we are is the result of what we have done, and because of you it was possible: HThe worlds in which we live at heart are one, The world l am , the fruit of I have done, And underneath these worlds of flower and fruit, The world Ml lovew, the only living root . We are in the world, ul amw, on the threshold of Ml shall be . The l shall be is only the vision the I am has of life. The value of the vis- ion, the prospects of its noble frui- tion, depends upon the vigor of the one living root, I love . lt is the key to the heart of humanity. It is the fount of life, and its beautiful, rippling, wa- ters spring from the human heart and others partake of them. Maeterlinck says, lf we could but probe to the root of things it might well be discovered that it is by the strength of some souls that are beauti- ful that others are sustained in life. Is it not the idea we each form of cer- tain chosen ones that constitutes the only living, effective morality? But in this idea how much is there of the soul that is chosen., how much 'of him who
