' their conduct during the-professional career of the
graduates, Professor-‘Guernsey^ went?-into an ex
planation of the principles,othomoeopathy, claim
ing for them that they were a deduction from the
divine wisdom as illustrated in • the workings of
nature. • The address concluded a& follows:
“Gentlemen, ours is a noble profession; but it
is BoblC because it is good and useful to our fellow
men—because it is earnest and .responsible —be-
cause it demands faithfulness, devotion,eelt-sacn
hcOr-because it does for bemoan bodies what God
does, from his infinite meicy and goodness, for
human souls. Th? similarity of our work to His
work, by tbe foTee of the teaching and example of
our great law of cure, imbedded, as it is, in the
very centre of our and bearing fruits on
ev*ry bough and twig of the tree of our science,
makes it an absolute and unconditional necessity
of our li\ es, that they should strive after similar!-.
ty with the divine life. Tbis alone, in the degree
of its attainment, can give to those lives that real
and. permaneni influence and power for good,
which it is our highest duty to seek, and which, as
the evidence of “God’s speeding,' 1 shall make
men to “rise up and call you blessed.' 1 Nay,
-more: it will, indeed, be God’s blessing upon
; you, God's blessing in you, seeing that by it you
shall be brought into conjunction and harmony
With Him, and go forth from Him, to do the work
which He has appointed you to do. Nothing hap
pens by chance; There is a divine Providence in
the leaet.ae well as in the greatest things Bo you
think that you have been led by cbanceinto
choice of your profession 1 Do you suppose that
you have not been led by a divine hand iuto this
way of life ? Whether it be on account of good or
evil in you, I cannot say; but most certainly for
good to your fellow-men, as well as to your
selves.
“Is not tbis earth God's creation and gift to
manl Is not your life in it; are not your minds,
your talents, your powers, your opportunities of
growth and-development, your means ef cultiva
tion, your sphere of activity and usefulness, all
God's gifts to man! What have you, what are
you that is anything worth, that is anythiag true
and real and living, which does not come from
Him? Go forth, then,and do your work, s? that
you may give him back his ‘own with usury, some
thirty, some sixty, some a hundred fold.' Be,
what he wills and designs you to be, m«w, true and
loyal—loyal to Him,loyal to humanity, loyal to
His humanity in you. Go,apd'may God, in every
deed and truth, speed you on your way. *'
