Rex. Hessert Gives Address CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ly and substantially. This solemn troth is especially important to the students; for although they are now leaving tho local school, they cannot escape the school of life. Education does not cease witn graduation day, it goes on through life. Rev. Hessert then considered some forces in the building of character which assist us in the results we wish to attain. Through memory w e are led back to see what we had considered each separate link of experience, which are really united in a chain that ! form our character. Memory lets us see the connecting links; habit lets us feel them. Evil habits limit and determine our future. He emphasized the eternity of the future. The paths of glory do not end with the grave, except as they apply to the material alone. The whole outlook upon life changes when we realize that we are “building up ourselves unto eternity.” When we have learned the Apostle Paul’s truth, that "all things work together for good to them that love ■God,” life will become to us a great school in which sorrow and pleasure, I hardships and happiness, all work up to a definite graduation. To build “up to eternity" we must have adequate forces. The two great forces mentioned in the text are faith and prayer. Faith is not a visionary idea, it is a practical working power. It works in two ways. We are powerfully influenced by the faith others repose in us, and especially are we influenced by the trust we place in God. Faith of others in you protects you from carelessness, sloth and idleness. Faith is also a power if placed in God, through keeping the ideal before us. Prayer should not only be a preparation for the battles of life; it should be the battle itself. In prayer, Jesus first met the enemies. He won his victories upon his knees. “The Basis in Christian Character" is faith in and prayer to Christ.

Rev Hessert then reviewed the character which is a result from building through faith and prayer upon Christ Jesus. He cited noble examples of the Christian character lives and contrasted them with others whose lives were .not based upon this strong foundation. In closing he said, “Jesus was a man of power, of nobility and of humility. Faith in him, prayer to him, must result in likeness to him. The Basis of Christian Character is faith in and prayer to Jesus Christ. The result of building upon such a basis is nobility, strength and reverence, humility. In the absence of the Rev. Ball, who was to have given the benediction, Rev. Gleiser gave this.
