Editor~s Note: Several of the

parents, who attended Central
High ool Baccalaureate exercise, were impressed with the
Baccalaureate Sermon delivered

' by Dr. Frederick C. Vosburg of
Court Street Methodist Church.
While the sermon was addressed
to the high school graduates, its
lessons are still timely. We pass
on to you, with: permission of
Dr. Vosburg, excerps from his
sermon.

~Tne Bible wee:

And though I have the gift
of prophecy and understand
all mysteries and all knowledge; and though I have all
faith so that I could remove

mountains, and have not
charity, [ am_ nothing. ~
(I. Corinthians 13, 2.)

Any one of us, through a
life of righteousness, devo--
tion and prayer, can win. to
the whole faith that rewards

~As we were drifting about
midnight.., fearing that we
might run:on the rocks they let
out four anchors from the stern,
and prayed for day to come~...
Acts 27:27-29.

Using the above quoted Scripture as the theme for his sermon, Dr. Vosburg began, ~At
the very start they drifted and
were afraid. Well might they be
+ for it is always dangerous to

strength But we will not be
wholly acceptable in the sight
of God until we unfailingly
extendea loving heart and
helping hand to all our less
fortunate brethren.

drift. The picture of a wrecked
motor bus which ran off the side
of an \Alpine road in Austria
shows what happens when fauIty brakes permit~ an automobile to drift down hill with gravity. so: fast. the driver can no
longer control its direction.
~The picture. of an arrested
delinquent who\has sunk from
petty crime to petty crime and
finally to the major crime of
murder, when life no longer is
sacred, is the picture of a life
that has, been permitted to drift
down hill morally.~:
Dr. Vosburg proceeded ~explain
the merits of ~steering against
the current of convenience.~ He
cited two examples: Thé boats
on the waterway traveling with
the current cannot contro] their
direction as readily as those going upstream, and the air pilot
always. heads. into the wind at
take-off to gain altitude. He recalled an~ old sailors~ chant,
~Who does not answer to the

| udder shall, answer to the

rock.~

The ge aiunting class was
told, ~Steer or smash is the
alternative that life extends us.
Life. grows ill if it is not well
handled.... While others have
chosen to drift with the stream
you have designed your course
_and have held the,rudder steady... We are pleading with you
to continue that initiative of
answering to the udder. and

avoiding the rocks. iashit
Reverting back. to the Scripturg said, ~It wi

ure, Dr.
their vessel drifting that told
Paul and his companions they
were in danger. When once they
made up their mind to do something about it they were safe.. -. They let out four anchors
from the stern. Until one knows
for certain which way he wants
to steer, an anchor which holds
him steady is the best ally.~

Dr. Vosburg discussed the four

- anchors that might be used to
day to insure a fruitful life. The
first one is the anchor of experience: ~The lawyer holds his
brief steady by basing it.on precedent;. the medical doctor resduces the risk of his prescription by basing it on the case
studies of his colleagues who
have pioneered ahead of him,~
he elaborated.

The second anchor which has
its steadying influence is the anchor of. expectation. ~... Tragic- experiences overtake people when they let go of a sense
of expectancy. Esau sold his
birthright for a mess of pottage
when he took a short sighted
view of life. Even Jesus could
do no mighty works in Nazareth because the people had no
faith.~:

~Unto whomsoever much has
been given, of him much cope

required,~ quoted Dr. Vos
a knot in it and hang on!

te at told of how much it

be told by General Washington
that he was counting on him.

He told of the steadying affect that Uncle Pio~s expectancy
had on a talented singer in
~Thornton Wilder~s story of the
Bridge of San Luis Rey.~ He
told -how the old man took the
Singer from a cheap dance hall
and trained her voice and taught
her the higher class music that
her talent deserved. She worked
diligently, but as the story goes
it was so much easier for her to
sing cheap jingles that the
crowd would applaud that
every. now and then she. would
do the easy thing instead of the
best thing. She knew that Uncle
Pio would disapprove. He knew
and she knew that shé ought to
be getting better. 3

The anchor of Eternity is a
third anchor. ~A chaplain from
World War II boaster that ~there
are no atheists in fox holes~ and
another soldier from an earlier
Was described a_ particularly
hard fought battle and added,
ZT bapa everyone prayed that
night.~ It was quite proper to
resort to prayer in much thé
same manner that we would use
the life. preserver or the red
fire axe and bucket behind the
- glass panel-reserved for extreme
emergency use only.~

Dr. Vos designated Preparation as fourth anchor.
~I firmly believe that God has
a place and purpose for each one
of us. But ~We prepare
ourselves we can never achieve
that purpose... When we consider that the Great Teacher
spent 30 years preparing for
three| brief years of service we
ean understand why his prayers
were answered,... Whe

to the rudder so that we will
not be forced to answer to the
rocks. - -
