names of the men and women who have wrought themselves into men's lives. Here are the names of those who have sung the world's songs, who have written the world's poems, who have painted the world's pictures. Here are the names of those who have touched the world's heart, and who have enlarged and deepened and enriched the world's life. Here the crowds come. They come singly and in clusters, they came once and they come again. The very marble of the pavement is worn with the constant coming of eager feet. They pass by kings and conquerors with indifference, but they stand with bowed heads before the memorials of the men and women who have enriched man-kind. Whether they were rich or not they never asked. Whether they were paid poorly or paid well they never considered. It was enough that they did something for mankind. Everything is made noble which noble lives have touched.
The province of religion is to give aim to the powers of our life. It would not detract from the value of any gift, but would rather enhance the value of all gifts by putting on them the divine stamp. It would not lessen any man's zeal for learning It would rather quicken his zeal by giving culture a nobler aim. No where in the world is culture so thorough or so highly prized as where the Christian faith has inspired
it. It is not the purpose of religion to conform all minds to one model, or all culture to one form. It would rather inspire every form of endowment, and every degree and kind of culture with a noble motive. You cannot possess or train a power which God cannot use. There is no employment, trade or profession in which God's service cannot be found. You may serve God in the class room, laboratory or work shop, and he will be equally pleased if your work be equally well done. There is no better service possible than honest work well done. You may go among men to heal their diseases, to unravel their perplexities, or to comfort their sorrows, and God shall own as done for himself what you have sincerely done for your fellows. You may sing the world a song; you may paint the world a picture; you may write the world a book, and God shall be honored as men are blessed. Let your aim be as high as it will, it will be all the higher for a divine consecration. Let your enthusiasm be as warm as it may, it will be all the warmer for a divine inspiration. Set your standard of scholarship as high as you desire, it will be all the higher for the thought that all lines of truth center in God. Your life can lose nothing of its zest by being lifted to a higher plane, and inspired by a higher motive.
