Book excerpt: Excerpt from The St. Mary's Muse, Vol. 16: June, 1911 As the third point Bishop Reese spoke of the inspiration of a great and supreme affection, that love is the greatest motive in the world, that it draws out unselfish devotion. The love of Jesus does that; it is the motive power. He emphasized this in telling of service to others as being inspired by love, and gave the story of the wounded soldier of Napoleon who told the surgeon probing for the bullet, Doctor, probe a little deeper and you'll find the Emperor. That was a lesson of devotion. He quoted also the remark of Napoleon, I'll be forgotten, but this Jesus Christ is strong now after two thousand years. He told also of the devotion of the soldiers in the Southern army to Uncle Bob, General Lee. He declared we should look on life as a great privilege and give thanks for it; that gratitude is one of the most beautiful of human flowers, one of the last to come, that gratitude is the sign of a noble life. In conclusion, he said that these things that had been said were not pious plati tudes, but leading motive powers in life, supreme ideals, motives and love for a leader, his closing words being, May God bless each and all of you, and may you feel His love for you and give it back to Him in devotion. Realize the dignity of your lives, humble dignity, to enable your lives to contribute to service as He gives you opportunity. The alms were then taken up for the use 'of the Bishop of Georgia in his work, after which, with Bishop Reese as the celebrant, there took place the celebration of the Holy Communion. At the close of the service the student body passed from the church, the recessional hymn being, 0 Mother Dear, Jerusalem, When Shall I Come to Thee? At the 5 o'clock service the Bishop gave another helpful and inspiring message, suggested by the text, Be ye also ready, with the leading thoughts that this world is beautiful, full of beautiful opportunities for service, but that to use them we must be ready, we must be prepared; that our youth, our school days, are days of preparation for greater opportunities.
