Divine service was held in the School Chapel
immediately after luncheoo, at which there was a good
eiteadlllloll. &trios was full choral, commencing with
the
asLeixesticouil, " Onward Christi= Soldiers." Tbe
(Mei. and MOS.) were sung to • chant by Mr.
Nichols. This Rev. H. Everett preaohed • stirring
sermon from the words "Be strung and very
courageous" (Joshua i., 7). In the coarse of the
sermon the preacher, addressing the boys, sald—No
my lads, would the idea be too far fetched, would it
be at all an exaggeration, to my that these words mom
to apply exactly to you—seem to be the beet motto
and advice to offer you in this your commencement of
the great battle of life, for life I. • battle, and • hard
battle, too—any life, at least, which LI worth being
called life, which is not the lift of • swine, who thinks
of nothing but feeding himself, or of a butterfly, which
thinks of nothing but enjoying itself Those are easy
lives enough, but the end thereof is death. The swine
goes to the slaughter, the butterfly dies of the frost,
, and there is an end of them. But the manly life, the
life of goad deeds and noble thoughts, and useful work
and purity, the life which is discontented with itself,
and which, the better 111., longs the more to be better
AM; the life which will endure through this world
into the world to come, and on and upward for ever
and forever; that life is not an easy life to live. And
does not the echo of those ancleat words of the text
still lire and stir our *outs- -" Be strong end very
courageous r How neutral the command sounds to
those who are young an I strong. Who of you does
not wish to become strong—strong of body and of limb,
strong of mind, and, shove all, strong of character and
of purpose I Cultivate, then, in this place as • d,ty
your bodily powers, your muscle, your vigour, the
manifold forces of life within you. And while
you feel the glow of health running swiftly through
every limb remember that it is the gift—the grandest
gift a loving God has given you—and, like all His
other gifts, to use, to value, to inj.iy, and to increase.
Again, I word I say, be strong of mind, for, as you
well know' on the way in which you cultivate your
powers of mind there depends in • great measure your
cures as men hereafter. In the hours of study, then,
be etrong and very courageous—knit together with
perseverbg effort all the powers of attention you
pose= As with the body s i with the mind, by use,
and by use only, does the strength increase. Never
then, fritter away this power by sloth, Menage, inst.
Walton, or carelessness. Strengthen and improve
these mental powers which God haartivenyou, be they
great or small ; it is • duty you owe yourselves, it is
• duty you owe your parents and your school, it is •
duty you owe your Gad. But be strong of character
arid purpose. Who is more wretched than the
listless waverer ? Who sooner sinks to his level than
the boy weak of purpose, easily led by other., with no
pluck and no courage, foolleh, unstable, irresolute,
these are they who laugh at what in their conscience
they know to be wrong; these have no firmness, no
strength, no persistency in right. For such, as boys,
let there be no place of honour in the Dorset County
School; for by such, as men, can no place of honour
on the world's roll of fame be won hereafter. By force
of character are the great victories in life's battle won,
by patient perseverance, courage, and strength of pur•
pose, like Joshua; by holding one aim ever in view,
and swerving not from it to the right hand or to the
left. This character, like his, will" prosper whither.
=ever it goeth." Place before yourselves the high
principle of duty and never turn from it one hair's
breadth for me= or selfish ends.
" Not once or Swim In our rough island story
The path of duty was the nay to glory."
There is • Spanish fable which Celle tie that • youth was
passing through • strange land where war was raging,
and be resolved to take arms under one of the rival
flags. But first he desired to kern the character of the
leaders and the rewards which each offered. He sought
the coop where the black banner waved, and the
soldiers told MO) that their wages were feasts and
wines, dances and delights, and that life passed like •
pleasant dream. Teat the youth sought the rival
camp, where a white standard was set up; there he
was t he moat bear the on. and endure hardness,
but yet the king was kind and loving, and had pre-
pared great rewards for thoseof his soldiery who were
strong and courageous. Then said the youth to him-
self "Her, are pleasures and delights, but how about
the hereafter?" So fray to ion, as Joshua said to
his people, "Choose this day whom ye will terve,
whose banner you will fight under." You cannot sad
under two flags—the black and the white banners can-
not cover the same soldiers. When Sethi comes with
his tempting offers of Weems and sin ask yourselves
the question "How about the hereafter ? " Consider
the multitudes who have fought your fight and aft now
safe for ever. There are boys in Paradise who have
won the victory which you long for ; you are not tread-
ing an unbeaten and untried path. ners is something
noble and greet in feeling that we belong to • host of
=equerries, that we are marching behind batmen
marked with victories which are old in • war as ancient
as the world. We can read the named of many, and
the glorious catalogue raises our spirit and cheers our
°enrage. And blasoned on the banners which they
bore are =Aid the high and heroic acts of youth's
devotion to God—Joseph's purity,latiac'atient meek-
ness, and David's youthful heroism. Who would not
fight in such • host I Who would rank with the vile,
the profligate, and the mean, when such may be their
' companionship, and such the army of their enlistment!
In conclusion allow me cordially and heartily to hops
that school Ills has ban and may be to you (am the
owning holiday. probably will b.) • golden time of
innoornt and happy summer days; that God may
keep you In His safe and holy keeping; that in the
moment of temptation He may give you strength and
°ours= to resist Nand so preserving you unoorrupted
is your youth lead you by the haul into settled man-
hood, and make you men great in well.doing, honest,
truthful, diligent, worthy sons of your old yahoo' and
its high and Christian teachings, true f illowers of
Jeans Christ, your Leader and your Lord.
After the service the 'speeches" commenced in the
large schoolroom. Mr. Ii S. B ower presided, being
=compacted on the platform by the Ven. Archdeeo
Sanctuary, Rev. T. Rafted -Wright (Headmaster),
Rev. H. Everett, and the Rev. C. 1.. Sanctuary. A
number of plants gave • pleasing appearance to the
platform and the ball generally. A. 0. Scutt com-
menced the proceedings by Dido's well-known speech
to the Trojans from Virgil, which he recited with
goarogly • slip. W. Galan next gave correctly and
with due expression "The Psalm of Life" (Long-
fellow). Pearsall's part song, "A King there was
In Thule," was rendered by the School Choir very
admirably, with the assistance of Mr. G. A. George,
Mr. W. J. Darden, Mr. D and Mr. Churchill,
the Rev. S. E. Nichols conducting and aooompany.

An inquest was hell at the Guildhall on Thurs-
day morning. bofors G. Symonds, Esq., and • Jury,
upon the body of an elderly woman named Anna
Stone, living at 17. Frenchise-street, who committed
suicide on the previous day by hanging. From the
evidence it appeared that on Wednesday afternoon,
about half-put two, the deceas3d went upstairs for
the ostensible purpose of getting some cloth to repair
some tr but, as she was gone a long time, the
daughter, Elizabeth IlLyne, went to the foot of the
stairs and called. As she di I notrecaiveany answer she
went up and found the unfortunate woman on the first
landing hanging from the banisters Just above. She
tried to raise her, but am she was unable to do so went
for assistance, going to the P dioe Station, and from
thence to Dr. Ryan. P.C. Hansford went to the
home and cot her down, when she was quite dead.
Dr. Ryan, when he got there, found her beyond his
aid. It appears the deceased had been ailing, and warn
of very nervous temperament, and for some time peat
had suffered from nervous debility, and the recent
death of a grandson was a great shock to her. The
jury returned a verdict of "Suicide whilst in • state
of Temporary Insanity."
