Presidents Address fContlnued from page twenty-seven? that health is becoming a more essential factor than ever before. In choosing candidates for election, their health is carefully considered to determine whether they will be able to stand the strain of the campaign and meet the ever increasing demands while in office. Large industrial establishments are making health requirements. Let us turn to our own work as a denomination. Out of the 557 missionary appointees during the last flour years, 32 per cent were rejected because of physical disabilities. One third of 332 permanent re- turns during the last four years were due to physical breakdowns. As in the physical, so with the mental. Strength comes from effort. This is a natural law that we apply to the physical, but somehow fail to see its im- portance in the development of the mind. In harmony with this law, God has given us His Word was the greatest means for mental as well as spiritual growth. In it we find all the principles necessary to fit us for this life and the life beyond. They are not, however, found by a careless and disconnected study. Many truths lie deeply buried beneath the surface that can be found only by research and faithful study. This calls for great mental activity. The mind thus brought in contact with the thoughts of the Infinite, the source of all truth and understanding, will expand and strengthen. I Lastly, let us consider the development of our spiritual nature. If a'ny one phase is of greatest importance, surely this would be the greatest. What would it profit ia. man to have the health and vigor to accomplish things, the wis- dom and understanding to 'guide him., and at last find he has neglected the one essential thing-to be right with God? After all, the real purpose of life is to be made ready for the eternal kingdom and to direct others to Him who is The Way the Truth and the Life. It is the desire of the class of '31 to develop every faculty that will make us more effective co-laborers with God, to build up rand maintain our physical, mental and spiritual natures so that we shall be better fitted to cope with the problems of our complex civilization. With God's help we shall steadily press Onward to perfection , ever seek- ing to give the message to Others until the work is finished and Jesus comes to usher us through The Pearly Gateway to spend eternity with Him.
