' ' the chief substance of the ser mon follows in part 1 this text which has been chosen for this particular occasion has two outstanding features which are im pressive fiirst external means for sickness of soul and body ; sec ondly the individual relationship to god the taking aside of the man from the multitude was symbolical of the application of external reme dies at the present there are and have been great discoveries of medicine and l cures for ailments but because of the healing in the olden time by miracle these dis coveries should not be ignored the striking feature he took him aside from the multitude brought to light the master's own personali ties this is the foundation of re ligion and 1 it has taken many ages of toil and sacrifice to make people realize this fact ' ' there was no recognition of the individual or individual rights in the old world people were classi fied and put in certain classes their consciousness of individual rights were of slow growth primi tive life had no personalities every man and woman was an appendage of someone else so the history of ancient people is vague then came the gospel of jesus christ in strange words god has an interest in the human life and is interested in the individual human soul the cross of jesus christ was the first symbol of liberty the first step in a man's personal life is that god knows him separately and that he died for him separately man should get the pattern of his own life from the life of jesus god loves each man separately the fundamental thing in re ligion is that it is the foundation of democracy both social and govern mental the fundamental measure of democracy is that it sets upon the individual human being th',e value of himself in and to the world it seems that the human being is just a large part of a great mechanism known as the world and as the individual works with his hands he becomes part of a cog in the great wheel we think that we have given the individual his chance but it is hard to realize this for nature is against it and civilization is against it the man is always having himself in his class no wonder that the individual who survives is conceited and arrogant this is nietzehie's super-man who is above right and wrong who has amazed us today with his atroci ties and we ask is this the end continued on third page the brown and white lehigh university vol xxv no 49 large audience witnesses play bethlehem pa tuesday april 16 1918 varsity downs swarthmore price five cents first game of season brings victory to brown and white team score : 3=o baccalaureate sermon by rt rev gailor d.d senior class graduates senior degrees conferred alumni association held meeting saturday buchanan 18 leads graduation exercises and alumni meetings
