That roadway is made pleasant and attractive by intimacy with God. Whether you go to college or to work, be faithful to all your duties and keep one hand in the Hand of the Lord. You owe much to your dear parents and teachers. Be grateful at all times to them. They have made countless sacrifices in your behalf. The only reward they ask is to see you succeed. In fact, I sometimes think the parents and not the students should receive the diplomas. Don't throw away your books. The acquisition of knowledge belongs only to the studious. Read good literature and fill your minds with the truth. The greatest battle you must fight in life is the battle against yourself. Act therefore at all times against self. If you do not you will find yourself taking the easiest, if not the evil way in life. Human nature is weak. It cannot be trusted. Left to ourselves we willlose the battle. But God's grace is sufficient for us. Keep then your hearts worthy tabernacles of God. With affection and blessings to each one of you, I am
