To know Professor Boyle is to love him and his kindly, deeply sympathetic manner of instruction. We have selected the following excerpts from his short address as a fitting editorial for Commencement Week in this city. Religion or spirituality, and I am using them synonymously tonight, is a recognition that every soul is worthy to cooperate with God. It is not only a set of rules, it is not only a creed by which we live, it is not only a philosophy of life, it is not only carrying out certain rites and ceremonies it is everything we think, and do, and purpose. It is a love of righteousness. It Is overcoming evil with good. It is warmth and kindness of one soul to another. It is the abandonment of impatience, uncertainty, selfishness. Someone has said : The eternally real is the spiritual, and the highest in us comes from the deepest in the universe.' The spiritual must include worship. Religion helps us to see the horizon, helps us to orient ourselves. It has been said that the greatest need of mankind today, socially and individually, is a true sense of direction. But not only do we need a sense of direction we need a sense of altitude. Formal routine, juiceless worship cannot be substituted for righteousness. God does not need to be placated, nor doeft He need flattering praises. Worship, like everything else, can be perverted. The spiritually minded man accepts life as something difficult, and sometimes tragic. In the years to come you will be disillusioned in a thousand ways. Some of you may have troubled lives. Adversity may cross your path. Your capacity to suffer, your capacity to take it will place you in your own status. No one likes to meet sorrow, pain, confusion, but if we do, and handle them as we should, each experience will prove to be the source of our best self. Not one of you, if you could tonight, would choose a land of pleasure and no pain. There would be no heroism, and there could be no courage. One askk: How could God make a world with so much suffering in if 7 and my answer is : How could no God make a world with so much good in it 7 ' The spiritually minded man makes decisions he makes them fearlessly, sensibly. You must decide whether you remain, or whether you climb the hilL The greatest sin is failure to grow. Sin is failure to face, and so change, or enlarge, or confirm a purpose. ually, every deed is sinful in which we are unfaithful to our worthy purpose. No one wants to preserve in himself or in his group the status qua Progress is self realization. It is the supreme joy. I would have you; honest. True and undefiled religion demands honesty of all men. If you would have a life; you must live on the square. No man is honest who is not a square shooter. . Honesty means judging soundly what is true or false. It is a determination to choose the best means and the best ends. Expediency is dishonest. It is a contrivance for covering up the truth. If you are going to be religious, you must be honest. , I would have you courageous. A religious man without courage is a paradox. The religious man does not exist who lacks steadfastness to his high purpose. To find Christ we must walk in His stem all the way. With that kind of faith and that kind of courage we can anchor our lives to Him who came out of Galilee. Courage says: Tf I cast my bread upon the waters, it will return. Courage sees the danger, but it never runs away. The truly spiritual man has character. The slothful and ignorant will knock in vain at the Gates of Heaven No one enters there without character, and character connot be bought and sold nor given away. ALL MEN FOR THEMSELVES ALONE MUST CREATE IT. This applies to the highest as well as the lowest. Even Authority, in the long run, must be achieved, rather than appointed. It must be the result of insight and genuine influence, and not of position. Finally the religious man, the spiritual man is friendly. Friendliness is next to Godliness. 'He who gives himself with his alms feeds three, himself, his hungering neighbor, and Me. Faith, hope, and charity but the greatest of these is charity. He who is greatest, must be least. He who binds up the wounds, he who trudges ahead in the dark carrying his torch, he who anticipates the needs of others, he is the friend of man and the true desciple of Jesus, and the truly religious man. To be friendly is to love your neighbor as yourself. He is my friend if I can trust him with my wife, my daughter, my reputation, and the keys to my house.

Baccalaureate Sermon Urges Right Thinking As Basis For Success As a man thinketh so is he might well have been the text of the Baccalaureate sermon delivered Sunday evening before a vast congregation in the Utah stake tabernacle by Elder George Albert Smith, an alumnus of the Brigham Young University, and a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the L. D. S. church. Actually his text was taken from the words of Dr. Karl G. Maeser, first president of the B.Y.U. under whom Elder Smith studied in the days of the B.Y. Academy in Provo.
