theorys put the test—Does it worl?

it self-consistent? We insist that hunggn
telationships be grounded on the earth
even if the earth be muddy. Religion
itself is deprived of its age-old inex-
plicability; it too must stand the test or
be discarded. We - feel that if ‘ truth
courage, heroism and idealism are fig-
ments pf. the imagination it is better to
know it and be reconciled to it.

People froni other lands say that we
are like barks. floating rudderless and
without: destination on the Surface of the
placid sea. We are complacent and sat-
isfied, but storms will occur on any sea,
and then what of us? Although tmost of
us think there is something in ‘religion
we do not honestly know what we be-
lieye. ‘Religion-is of consequence only
when it is*of such absolute conviction
that, it directs, unifies, and empowers life.
As substitutes for this true religiorf we
have turned to, superior — cynicism,
Menckenism, to the cult of beauty, to
-a shallow optimism, or to cheap sensual
emotionalism. _ But all of these are im-
practical and socially unproductive.

The final and perhaps, dominating

‘ oe .
factor in modern life is a restless dis-
satisfaction, a sense of frustration and
futility. Using every ounce of his energy
and, interest man has built a civilization
that” is mechanically almost perfect.
Now he does not know what to do with
it. He is like & boy who has built a
perfect toy house and is beginning to
grow up. “Relentless realism, intellec-
tual shrewdness and moral flabbiness
cannot be combined without paying the
price—futility. Among the many grad-
uating this week the dominating query
is—was it worth while? What. is the
meaning of it all anyway? We say we
want faith in life itself, not religious
faith—failing to see that they are the
same.”

This sense of loss is largely to be ex-
plained psychologically; we live in’a
fear-dominated .age and trust no. one,’
neither each other nor ourselv es—and of
course not God.

But in -spite-of-this~ dissatisfaction, or
perhaps because of it, there is a tre-
mendous aid -growing intérest in re-
ligion. ;.“Humanity is on. the march
questing something which haunts life
like a confused: echo of a. faraway mel-
ody.” Most of us choose to :be blind to
‘the nature of ‘modern life, and no two of
us see it alike. Seeing the day in which
we. live for what it is, we may--take
refuge in cynicism or asceticism. Or we

may see it as an. adventurous prospect]

“In asking a man so fear their own
age to speak, the Class of .1927 has dpne

a thing characteristic of the day,”  said|

Dr. Van Deusen, . “That, is, they .have
sought wisdom from one who faces the
world as they do, seeking not a finished
philosophy, but a few tested hirits. There
are just three words which , should be
given to those graduating : a word of

hope, a familiar word about the adven-,

ture and joy ahead; a word of warning,
also familiat, about the disappointment¢
from within as well as without; a word
of urgency about our fleeting opportuni-
ties and the need for haste.”

The world’s most pressing need today’

is for ‘men and women who do not ex-
pect to see the fruition’ of their ideals,

but who know that to give all of life

for them is well worth whife. ‘We need
faith, not faith that is the belief in some
one or something, but.the courage to do
one particular thing because it seems
right, regardless of consequences—cour-
age to live life on the highest hypothesis
we can discover. “We must have people
who wmnderstand the world, who are
realistic, but who feel the call to go out
into an unknown country which may be
their heritage, but who go out not know-
ing whither they go.”
