"And if a man also strives for masteries, yet be is not crowned ex cept be atrive lawfully" 2d Timothy 2-5. Upon thia text of scripture aa a besia, Dr. J, A. Morebead, president of - Roanoke College, Salem, Va., preached the baecalauiate aennon yea- terdary before tbe graduating classes of Mont - Amoena (Seminary and the Oollegiate Institute. To become a master in tbe race of life appeals to all men in their various walks of life. Man 'a first instance of mastery is found in his subduing the forces of nature in the mine, in tbe quarry, on the streams, in the air, upon the bos om of the deep the industry of man leads to be subjugation of nature. The twentieth century opens the greatest field of recorded time for at taining mastery by men and jwemen in science, " philosophy, education and all that will contribute to tbe peace, happiness and prosperity of the human race. Tbat man baa a great "ray to go, however, before he has conquered the forces of nature ia made plain in the recent disaster that overtook the great liner, tbe Titanic. To become a master of men, to array ail the powers of intellect and body in gaining political power ia a force among men, that they may be leaders in atateemanabi . Our political life needs, men who cannot be bought but who will lead the peo ple in patha of patriotic devotion. And here ia room for mastery. But to be masters in-the church and its work affords men 'and women the most splendid field tfbr service, to awake for . the church her latent powers and Joiaad aneo. into the r- viea of the kingdom of righteousness. But the fundamental mastery, the one thai-ar the very root and ground of all masteries, is the mastery over self. Tbe greatest race of life is from sin to tod. Thai destiny of life depends upon the mastery man at tains within, himself, and the great est problem of life Is how to attain mastery for human happiness, pro gress and prosperity and over self. The grace of God in the heart is the first essential. The strength of all men -who have counted for righteous ness and progress have been men Who bad the grace of God in the hearts; men of spirituality are men of power. This ia conditioned - upon training, preparation, , education as a second essential. The time has never been when man or woman could rise to mastery without tile necessary train ing. Our tyoung men and women today should be trained to deelop the character power, the physical power, tbe mental power and the spiritual power that will fit them for mastery over self, and to become masters of men to the glory of God. To be come a master has Its price and we must be willing to pay the price of endurance. The speaker closed with a denial. Tbe aoeaker closed with personal word to the members of the graduating class. Last night Hon. ffbitehead Klutti, of Salisbury addressed the Y. M. C. of the Institute and the Y. ,W. C. A. of Mont Amoena Seminary. Tbe address waa worthy tbe man, the occasion and the . cause just one more of the gems be drops along the way. He told of the work these or ganizations are doing for young man hood and young womanhood the world over, what tbey are doing lor tbe body, mind and soul of thoso wbom thev seek to help. Punctuated with bright pertinent illustrations, Mr. Klutta's address will easily bold a special place in this season's ex ercises."' 'j..,';.'-- :; . ..
