Dr. H. L Smith
Guest Speaker
Doctor Henry Louis Smith, pres
ident emerit^is of Washingt’im and
i.,ce university was the speaker in
Whitley Auditorium on January
12. Dr. Smith spoke on “The Ex-_
l anding Ijfe”, using as his text'
“He shall grow like a cedar Jr.
Lebanon.”
In his sermon, Dr. Smith d^s-
crioed four phases of the exp.inil-
ing life, natiiely its meaning, dif
ficulties, process and its reward.
The meaning he stated as grow-
i ing, or an ever increasing know
ledge, and human service and
sympathy. The chief difficulty, he
declared, lay in spet'ialization. The
process he compared to the growtii
of a large tree, with its branches
spreading outward and upward,
and its roots going into the earth,
interjireting the reward, Dr. Smith
quoted the last stanza ot Holmes,
"The Chambered Nautibus.”
