DR. ROSS PREACHES
BACCALAUREATE

Mystery is Subject

Dr. George A. Johnson Ross, of Union
Theological Seminary, delivered the Bac-
calaureate sermon to the graduating class
last Sunday evening in the Gymnasium.
He took as his subject the mystery of life,
and spoke of the present war as an ex-
ample of such mystery.

Christianity, he said, gives comfort,
“but the text-book of religion, the Bible,
leaves most questions unsolved and says
least of what we most want to knOw.
Upon the great trinity of sin, suffering
and death, the Scripture does not have
clear statements”.

The War a Mystery

In further elaboration of this idea, Dr.
Ross discussed the present war. There
are four ways of regarding it, he said—
as a great crime, a calamity unspeakable,
a colossal folly, or “if you range your-
selves with the most thoughtful people,
as a great mystery which invades even
the innermost recesses of our faith”
