Somewhere I have read that halua uuuuav, .1..-,--_v_, . proud possessor of four handsome gates that impress all who see them. As you enter the College from thestreet the first gate through which vou pass is the gate of "humility.” Go a little farther in ' 'sdom.” Still proceed- and the next gate you enter is that ot: "wt 9, . ing. you arrive at the gate of "\‘irtue.’ “Then, so my informa- tion goes, "at the farthest side of the quadrangle there is the finest gate of them all. richly sculptured and surmounted by a cupolaâ€"the irate of 'honor'. through which the student passes, after completing his curriculum. on his way to the Senate House to be capped for his degree.’ Let us look at these gates in the order given above. First. the gate of Humility. The truly great men are humble in nature. The would-be great are not. General tiordon. one of Britain's most, beloved soldiers. was the most approachable of men. and the humblest soldier of the ranks could get. an audience with him But the secret of that humility of Gordon’s lay undoubtedly in the fact that. he was a man given to much pray- er. Every day in his campaigns he made it a rule. 'midst the liressure of other duties. to have at last half an hour's commun- ion with his Heavenly Father. When his llftllt‘lkttl‘t'hlt‘f lay out- side his tent. all his otl’icers and men knew-that on no account must he be disturbed «that time was (lod‘s time! This led to the famous general becoming like his Master. the Lord Jesus, who humbled himself to live and sntl’er with and for men though He had equality with Hod. l’l'ltlt' is wrong: it is not of tied: it is condemned by God. No youth makes a mistake who prays that the mind of .lesus may he in him. This is a sure way of entering the gate of Humility. ”or next gate is that of \\'isi_loni. .\ wiser person than any one m' as has said that wisdom is above rubies. It is also above I used to think of wisdom as knowledge; but now I knowledge. . think ot' it as a wise way of using knowledge! [l' we think «if wisdim as common sense we get near to its meaning. A story will evplain. 'l'wo gallant knights met one summer‘s day in the olden time. in the still greenwood. and soon got into a high dispute about a wry small matter. -\ broad shield hung between them. fastened to the branch ot‘ a tree. Neither ot’ the knights knew to whom it belonged. or why it was left hanging there. and each began to ask the other concerning it. "Whose is this white shield?" "White? lio you call it white? Why, it is black!" ”Do you take me for blind. or a tool. that you tell me what mine own eyes can see is false?" .\nd so the words were bandied about from one to the other. until the dispute became so violent. that they had actually drawn their swords for a bloody contlict. when a third knight came riding towards them.-a man of noble lwaring and serene. calm- juduing eyes. Looking at the angry men. he said. "You should be brothers in arms. Why do I see these passionate gestures, and hear these tieree words?" ' Each knight made haste to i'xpltllll the imposition which the other had tried to practise on him. The stranger smiled. and rating to the one side or the shield. an‘d then to the other. he said very quietly, "lio not charge with your weapons just vet. tlhange places!" ‘ 'lfhey did so. and behold the knight who had seen the white side of the shield saw now the black side also: and the knight who had been ready to do battle for the black stood face to face. with the white side. Ashamed of their hot. haste, they apolo- rized one to the other. and rode out of the greenwood as good riends as ever. [‘he passionate knightsneeded common sense, wisdom.

' The gate of Virtue is the third. No one will ever regret being good. thimtness IS eternal. 'l‘om Moore wrote, ”That life and time shall fade away. \\ hile heaven and Virtue bloom forever." Virtue enables you to look others straight in the eye. without flint-hing. and as Moliere said. is the tirst title to nobility. The true aristm'rats of the earth are our good people. Not only is Virtue a splendid thing in lite, it is helpful at the end. When Sir Walter Scott lay dying he said to Lockhart : “Be. a good man: he virtuous. he religious. Nothing else can give you comfort when you come to lie. here.” Surely the gate 01' virtue is a tempting one! ‘ “ " ' , I __-l:.l I~V u \ III.'U---C vu.. The fourth and final gate) is that of Honor. It is a, splvndid thing to rotain ono’s honor nntarnishmil, to play tho game right through life. Some haw sold their birthright of honor for a mero mess of pc'vttago; hut othvr‘s have gallantly refuse'd. 0f the “' -A'A-n----nrlr1 nqolrn A“ “7nl lllt'l'!‘ "If“?!

Samuel Smiles tells us that Sir Arthur was Offered a large sum of money by the prime minister of the Court of Hyderabad, for the purpose of ascertaining what advantages had been reserved for his Prince after the battle of Assaa’e. Sir Arthur looked at him quietly for a few seconds and sai : "It appears, then, that you are capable of keeping a secret?" "Yes. certainly,” replied the prime minister. “Then so am i,” said Wellesley, and with that he bowed the minister out. Throughout life we shall be placed in positions that require strictest. integrity: but you need have no fear of yourself it’ you have passed through the gates of Humiiity, Wisdom and Virtue. These, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, enable you to walk, hi’at erect, eyes serene, through the gate of Honor to receive your reward.

Also that daily life is a university, the home is a rollege. the ofl‘ice. factory and farm are high schools with more courses than an ' university can ofl'er.
