WORDS TO THOSE WHO ARE LEAVING. " The words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life." ?John vi. 63. MANY a century
has passed since these words were spoken, and there they stand,
true for all ages. The words that Christ spoke are spirit, and they
are life. Still each generation of men goes back to the words which
Christ spoke as the one fountain at which to get draughts of life.
No fresh fountain has arisen in all the ages. There is no other
light, or life, or hope for men except in the words of Christ. This
is the last Sunday of the term, and of our school year: and it is
also the last Sunday at school for many of you in this chapel. In a
few hours many of you will have passed out finally into the great
world, probably never again to hear words spoken in this place. I
long to say a few words this afternoon, not to all the school, but
to you who are leaving; all our hearts are full of sympathy and
interest in you. We who are older cannot help thinking of the
variedmental experiences that we have gone through; experiences
that still await you: and we cannot help longing to say something
to you before you go, which shall be a real help and guide to you.
I know well how little words can do. To have any effect they must
come at just the right moment. Still perhaps this is the right
moment; when your hearts are touched, and ours are warmed to you,
on this your last Sunday at Clifton. I will speak of one thing
only?the reality of your belief in Christ, and in God: there is
nothing that can compare in importance with this. And you will
pardon me if I speak very plainly, and on subjects on which I have
never spoken to you before. In a few months at furthest you will be
thrown into a circle of very different ideas from those which are
familiar to you her...
