President ' s Address The successful performance of life ' s duties demands a definite purpose. He who would accomplish great things must keep a noble aim steadily in view. He must constantly seek greater efficiency and higher attainments. A few years ago we as a group of young people received a vision and set a definite goal — the acquirement of loftier heights. To many of us this has not been an easy task, but by keeping this aim ever before us, we have accomplished our purpose and now we are privileged to stand before you as Seniors of 1926. Tonight as a graduatmg class we have reached a point of transition. One period of our lives has been completed. We are facing a future which will determine the strength of the material which we have forged into our characters. The question that confronts each one of us is: How shall I relate myself to the proble.-ns and opportunities of the future? Let us view for a moment the conditions in the world today. Whether we look at them nationally, politically, socially, or religiously, clouds of a deep and dark hue are gathering on the horizon. — clouds to which no previous history of our world furnishes a parallel. We are living in the most portentious period of all ages. Every influence of the past is focused on our time. Tremendous forces are at work. The world is filled with strife and commotion. But notwithstanding the fact that we face such conditions, there are still bright opportunities for the youth of today. There is a place for each of us to fill. Then is it not imperative that every one of us have a purpose in life, — the accomplish- ment of some worthy object, rather than the gaining of some selfish desire which will bring us ultimately to an absolute indifference to the working out of God ' s plan for us? How many lives are almost wasted for lack of a definite aim, — something good and noble to achieve. As one author has said, That which dominates life, which is ever uppermost in the mind, generally comes somewher e near realization; but there is a great difference between a lukewarm desire and a red-hot purpose. It takes steam to drive the piston of the steam engine; warm water will never turn wheels. The longings that fail of realization are usually below the boiling point. Many will be lost while hoping and desiring to be Christ- ians. They do not come to the point of yielding their wills to God. of reaching the full determination to give themselves wholly to Him, but are content with just desiring something. {Continued on next page)
