1He ANNUAL ScIiuOu Wy AsSV. w III
Bush. D. D., was listened to by .
large and attentive audience. In tn.
evening, DR.. Kynett, Of Philadelphia
preached from the text: !" For hs
that hath this hope in hlm puri6eth
himself"
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
until 10 A. NJ, were occupied by the
annual examinations.
On Monday evening the music
class gave an entertainment under
the direction of Miss Shinn, the mu-
sic teacher.
On Tuesday evening, occurred the
lecture Of Hon. Geo. G.. Wright, L.
L. D., one OF 1owa's senator's, befor e
the Amphictyon and Philomathean
societies. Subject-"Work." Among
ether good things, the speaker said !:
"We have brains enough in the world
now, what Is demanded at present is,
their use." The lecture was replete
with practical hints, and was enl,v-
ened by flashes Of wit and humor, and
rendered forcible by the irony and
sarcasm of the speaker.
On Wednesday evening the NJ. f.
Church was crowded to overaowing
by people from the surrounding
country and from abroad who came
to hear the man to whom the Inde.
pendent has given the title Of The
Orator of the West"-Rev. C. H.
Fowler, D. D., o! Chicago, who lcc-
tured before tho Adelphian society.
The subject announced was: (" The
Economy of Power" and when we
heard it, we thought how beautifully
supplementary to the lecture Of the
previous evening; the first being
"Work," the second ''How to Work
The speaker started on the presump-
ton that work is tho heritage Of ev-
cry man; that it is his privilege to do
the largest amoun; Of work possible, in
any given field. We dare not attempt
. synopsis or an abstract OF this ad-
mirable lecture.
The orator had the complete mas.
terry OF the situation. His hearers
were now convulscd with laughter,
anon ready to weep As he described
the wrecks of sin, or held in breath
less awe as he dwelt upon Mans
Free Will, and the horrors resulting
from its abuse. And again, they were
ready, with one accord, like Hanni-
bal at the instigation of his father,
Hamllcar, to swear eternal enmity
against the Harlot Of the Seven Hills,
as in his matchless announcement, he
brought history, and the tangible tes-
timony of the present, to show the
evil Rome has wrought, and the dan
gel that oar country and government,
like Italy, France, Spain and Mexico,
may be shorn of its strength aud vig-
or by the ecclesiastical tyrant which
has brought the once proud Catholic
nations to the dust.
On Thursday, the 22i, came the
great gala day OF the people for miles
around. That the 4th Of July sinks
into insigni6cance, compared with
commencement day, in this communi-
ty, Is fully demonstrated by the prac-
tice of the people.
The forenoon was occupied by the
Junior Class exercises. In the after.
noon the graduating class delivered
their oratiors in one Of the beautiful
groves connected with the college.
The bearing and productions OF each
reflected credit upon the individuals,
the class and the college.
