Baccalaureate Sermons (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Baccalaureate Sermons But why has the Creator thus set us apart from one another and given us such diverse endowments? Is it not to make monotony impossible? Is not our individual ity given us as a charge to keep? Let it not be surren dered at the bidding of any, nor stolen away while we sleep. We but serve our common humanity when we hold our rightful God-given place, when we fill up the deficiencies of one another by using the powers which God has given in the field which God has assigned. There is a proper assertion of one's individuality and of this Nehemiah gives us a right noble example. Sensible of the responsibility of his high position and conscious of his own powers he consulted with himself how he should act in this trying hour. He belonged to himself and had not submitted himself to the keeping of another. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
