COMMENCEMENT The Houghton Star EDITION VoL LI HOUGHTON COLLEGE, HouGHTON, N. Y., FRIDAY, JuNE 12, 1959 No. 17 Myron F. Boyd Exhorts Grads ToPurchaseAndRetainTruth "It is impossible to sell the truth and gain by it," Dr. Boyd af6rmed a: the fifty-ninth annual Baccalaureate service Sunday, June 7. The ordinary motive of getting in buying and selling cannot be applied to the commodity of truth, the director of The Light and Life Hour stated. A seller of the truth loses his self respect, digniry and sensitive conscience. He forfeits his spiritual strength, prayer power, moral usefulness and eternal life, Dr. Boyd said. Aggressiveness Needed Speaking from Proverbs 23:23, Dr. Boyd encouraged the graduates to "Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understand- ing.' cNo one will ever get all tile truth unless he is willing to concentrate or. obtaining it," the speaker avowed. Dr. Boyd expressed his hope that the graduates had found the truth concerning God's will. He exhorted them to be aggressive in advancing God's righteousness and truth and to have eyes only for the Man who died to set them free. Rep. Goodell, President Paine, Gov. Hatfield, Rev.
