Excerpt from Joy and Power: Three Messages With One Meaning Hethree messageswhich are brought together in this book were given not far apart in time, though at somedistance fromone another in space. The one called Joy and Power was delivered in Los An geles, California, at the opening of the Presbyterian General Assembly, May 21, 1903. The one called The Bat tle of Life was delivered on Baccalau reate Sunday at Princeton University, June 7. The one called The Good Old Way was delivered on Baccalaureate Sunday at Harvard University, June 14. At the time, I was thinking chiefly of the different qualities and needs of the people to whom I had to speak. This will account for some things in the form of each message. But now that they are put together I can see that all three of them say about the same thing. They point in the same direction, urge the same course of ac tion, and appeal to the same motive. It is nothing new, - the meaning of this threefold message, - but it is thebest that I have learned in life. And I believe it is true, - so true that we need often to have it brought to remem brance.
