It must be something different or else we should cease to invite the thousands of the youths of the Latter-day Saints to come to it rather than to other schools. In the emphasis that it places upon the moral and the religious life lies the justification of its existence. A short time ago the writer met one of its former students. He had been to the war. After the final victory he had gone back to a rather difficult piece of work. He said to me, nWhile I was away and after my return I often had cause to be grateful for what the dear L. D. S. had done for me. Often iover there, I felt discouraged. Once things looked so dark that for a moment I thought I would be justified in deserting. Many a time shells were falling all around with a crash that made life look very uncertain. Once for nearly a week we tramped through mud with rain drenching us almost hourly. I had gone through about all that any young fellow could be tested with. It often made me wonder whether existence were worth while. But when I was near- est despair, somehow hope and joy always came to my rescue. That hope and joy I then realized came largely as a result of the ideals held up constantly before me while I was studying in that great school. As I now see it, whether in Theology, in Devotional, in the shop, the laboratory, or in the class room, everywhere the same spirit was found. It was the spirit of faith, of trusting confidently in the eternal justice and goodness of God. That spirit was my strength midst scenes of awful destruction and bloodshed. It is now, as I go about my daily work, the life line to which I Cling when'temptation is near, I esteem what knowledge I obtained, but I esteem far more highly the feeling implanted in me, that I am here for a purpose, and that my father is near to see me through if I do my part as I should? The spirit of this young soldier is found in the thousands who have found the genius of the school. It cannot be worked out in schools that do not place the great emphasis on the spiritual phase of education, nor can it be developed in one unless eternal life is held up as being the knowing of God and his son, for a perfect life needs a concrete model as its pattern. Herein is the thing different that characterizes this school, faith, opti- mism, confidence in God as the guider of our destiny, with freedom such as our students enjoy to work out these ideals. 1920 IHIIIIIIH'ITHHIYTTILHnIlYmYIYIIIIITUIIIIHHIIIYHlmInIIIIIHILYIIHYIImJIIIYmYIIITIHIIIIIJIIITIJIILHLIIIIIJJJ
