“THE LEADING DRUGGIST’
HI Hi HIT
MUSSES SUMMED
CMDJUTES STITEII.
Austin, Tex., Aug. 31.—Tak-
ing "Personal Religion” as his
theme, the Rev. Frank J.
Jewett, instructor in the Texas
Bible Chair, Austin, addressed
approximately six hundred
summer graduates of the Uni-
versity of Texas Sunday even-
ing, in that institution’s twelfth
annual summer commence-
ment. He delivered a chal-
lenge to these candidates for
degrees to face life with vision,
insight, radicalism, and fidelity
—to face life with courage,
high morality and godliness.
In part. Dr. Jewett’s mes-
sage was as follows:
“In his address to the June
graduates at Howard Univer-
sity president Conant warned
them against fear and to avoid
being afraid. Dr. Barbour at
Brown University told the
graduates what a fine thing it
would be if they could believe
in God with all their heart,
mind, soul, and strength. Pres-
ident Angell told Hie Yale
graduates that liberty is
spirit’ is the greatest thing in
modern American life. Dr.
Dennett at Williams College
told his graduates that if educ-
ated men did not do a better
job of leadership, the masses
would rise and tear them limb
from limb. Dr. Hutchins at
the University of Chicago told
his graduates that he had no
fear for them in the field of
economics bat that he was
afraid of their morals; afraid,
that is. that they might be de-
pressed in the modern world
and give way to dishonesty,
compromise, graft, and low
standards in the business and
professional world.
“From the warnings to
graduates in June 1 am bring-
ing to you graduates tonight a
challenge to courage, high
morality, stout-heartedness,
righteousness, and godliness.
In other words, I am making
an appeal to you to tie to basic
and fundamental reality—
whatever betides or however
your ehip may sail or whatever
the weather may be.
"Tonight I am making a
basic and fundamental appeal
to you for a genuine personal
religion grounded in godly
living. One never knows
what he thinks about anything
until he knows what he thinks
about God. The best 1 know
thyself unto godliness.’
"I bring you this message to-
night as a man whose hair has
whitened somewhat daring
thirty years on this campus—
yon who fare forth as adven-
turers with badges of honor
illuminated by the truth and
light both of a great education-
al institution and of the Chris-
tian church.”

“The Royal Mint is what
like Jesus in character, and to
the extent that you are Christ-
like in your inner fives and
outward relationships, you are
godlike. This process calls for
discipline and conditioning and
training. One does not be-
come godlike over night but
makes progress in that direc-
tion during a lifetime of effort.
The social religion, the indus- the King grows in his palace
trial order, peace, war, sex.
nationalism and international-
ism, all have their place, but
the time is now demanding
godlike units.
"Dr.’ Van Dusen of the Un-
ion Seminary in New York, hi
suggested four elements in
successful personal religion to
meet the strain of the modern
times. Vision—or the ability
to see the better person, the
better society, the better civil-
ization—is necessary. One
cannot live one's best without
idealism, and this is religion.
Next one needs Insight—not
just knowledge of even
wisdom, but ability to face
facts and tell the truth about
them. When one’s eyes are
above, one’s feet need to be on
the gronnd. We must be real-
ists as well as idealists. Third-
ly, we must be Radical; that is.
sincere, genuine, dead in earn-
est, enthusiastic, deeply loyal.
God is good and if one Is to be
like God he must try to go the
limit in godliness. Lastly and
not least, Fidelity—otherwise
faith. Fidelity to truth, to
duty, to right, to decency, to
unselfishness, to Christ, to God.
to one’s own inner best and
purest. Dependability and
pat ent endurance to the end
is the price to be paid.
