HUDDLE HEARD WITH INCH PROFIT AT COMMENCEMENT “Life” Was Subject of Ser-I mon Delivered at Mt. I Pleasant Sunday by Min-! ister of Washington. LIFE’S POW ER IS DESCRIBED| Speaker Said Jesus Came! to World so People Might Have Life and Have It More Abundantly. (Staff Correspondent) • Mt. Pleasant, May 23.—Declaring that life is amazingly cheap at the 1 present time apd that the bandits hold it cheap as do those who are commit ting suicide in such large numbers. Dr. John T. Huddle, jmstor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church. Washington. D. C., delivered the baccalaureate 1 sermon be fore the graduating classes of Mount Pleasant Collegiate Institute and Mont Ainoena Seminary Sunday morn ing at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, and spoke on “Life” as being one of the most valuable things in the world. The sermon of Dr. Huddle was one of the most powerful ever heard at a commencement program of the two institutions. It was full of truths which the young men and women would do well to take with them out into life. Dr. Huddle reached ora torical heights gripping the attention of his hearers throughout his dis course. “One definition that we could give of life is that it puts ‘go’ into things. That is" true of the human body with the lungs, heart, eyes, tongue and hands and feet. As long as we have life the members of the body can go,” he said. “Life is very elusive. We can’t grasp it and when the heart stops life is over. Life also puts ‘go’ into the mind. Ambition and faith are forms of life. Love is also a form of life and it is love that makes a mother care for her child as she does: it is love which drives a sol dier into battle: and it is love Avhich takes a missionary into the heart of the jungles with the story of Christ.” Using as a text the wfords of Christ, fotrad in the last part of the tenth verse of the tenth chapter of the gos pel according to John, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Dr. Huddle said that he used the text because the students before him were going out into life and would face duties and responsibilities of real life, and because of the fact that life was held so cheaply today. The minister told of the large in crease in suicides within the last few years and especially "among the college men and women of today. He stated that it was not the ignorant man that was committing suicide but the well educated man from the better families of the had something to do with this cheap ening of human life but the real cause is that men have lost connection with Him who is the source of life. Their ideals are lowered and they have lost sight of, anil connection with, Him “in whom we live and have our be ing,’ ” Dr. Huddle stated. The speaker asked the question of how were we to enhance the value of the human life and then said “Science says that/ ‘life is perfect correspond ence with perfect environment.’ Sci ence has done much in improving en vironment. has done much in adapt ing man to his environment, has done much for our health; education has done much for intellectual develop ment, and wealth has done much to improve our physical well being, but there is a limit to what science, edu cation and wealth can do.” “I riendx,” said Dr. Huddle, “when wet wajit real life, thrilling life, all day loiig, every day of the year, we must go to Him who said: ‘I came that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.’ “Christ will give you life,” the min ister said. “He will give you a long life. A life of three score years and ten if you keep the rules of life as found in the Book. He gives a strong physical life and Christians are do ing much to give themselves strong physical lives. He gives a strong in tellectual life and people are doing much to the development of a strong intellectual race,” Dr. Huddle said, and then told of the difference of wis dom and* knowledge. He said that knowledge comes from books and that wisdom comes from above and from ex perience. “The older person has more wisdom than the young even though the young one has had more from books,” he said. “And finally Christ gives a strong moral and spiritual life. Christ's dis ciples were cowards for a time hut with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit they became men with courage, men with faith and men with love. Let that kind of life be your &oal, young people. I want to commend you to Him who said ‘I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantaly.’ Take Him as your companion and friend. Life will then be worth living and after you live a long life others will rise up and call you blessed,” declared Dr. Huddle. Dr, H. A. Stirewalt, of China Grove, was organist for the service. He rendered “Couvinir” by Drdla. as an organ prelude. The choir sang “They That Trust in the Lord,” and $2.00 a Year, Strictly in Advance.
