Anderson, pastor of the Independent Presby terian church of Savan nah, Sunday morning preached the annual bac calaureate sermon, “A Call to Leadership.” Df. Anderson’s text wss: “Where There Is No Vision, the People Perish.” A companion text was taken from 1 Kings, 6:17— *h« story of the young servant of Elisha. From this text he spoke of the need of youth for an open vision of the spiritual forces that dominate all life. Describing viv idly the resources and opportuni ties of the country, Dr. Anderson said: “I would not for a moment dare say one word to dampen the ardor of youthful enthusiasm as it girds itself for the tasks set before the men of this generation, but I would be false to the com mission f hold, if I failed to warn you of the perils also that will eonfront you, and of the ultimate sources of all victory.” The five major perils which the graduates will face and must over-, come if they are to become real leaders.
