In a measure, you have made previous preparation for your lifework. You have studied lessons, cultivated talents, acquired skills, set up Christian ideals, and developed a standard of life's values. Through the influence of your Christian parents, your church, an-d your school, certain lasting im- pressions have been made upon your memory. Regardless of how far life's experiences may take you from the scenes of your childhood and youth, memories of your joys and sorrows, successes and failures, opportunities used and lost, deeds of kindness or thoughtlessness will re- main to comfort or rebuke you.

You have arrived. You have attained the goal and will receive a diploma to verify it. But where have you arrived? Where do you stand now? Really not at the end, but at the beginning, the commencement of a larger sphere of life and service. Your diplo- ma will really be a certificate of progress. It is but a milepost in your forward march with Christ your Lord.

Looking ahead to find your lifework' will be challenging. Do not become discouraged if cherished plans should crumble, nor impa- tient when the way is not clear. God moves in various ways to prepare us for the places where He would have us serve. I am confident that you will experience peace and happiness even amidst the noise and strife of a sinful world if your life is committed to the work which the Lord has for you to perform. The Lord thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doestf, things which are before . . . land pressingl toward the mark for the prize .... He then tells us whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing .... Be followers . . . QPhil. 3 113'-172. The real tragedy of life is not in failing to reach the top, but in failing to go forward. To turn back and lose the ground that has been gained is cause for grief. So whether the way be rough or pleasant, bright or gloomy, keep on! It is always better on ahead. The Master leads the way, follow Him, He will ,lead you to the triumph of success, for He is the One and only assurance against failure. 17
