OratiOu-"Truea and False Socialism. ,.
Edward ID. Wingenroth, Williamsburg.
Pa. Man is o progressive being. The
law of social inte recourse early manifested
itself, throughout the human family, and
man realized that it was not good to be
alone. In contrast with this Is the ten.
dency to disorder, to q false socialism.
that the age has brought forth. Religion
is the solution to this difficult problem Of
life. Everything springing from that
fOunt will partake Of ITS purity Of charac
ter without it life is comedy, death q
catastrophe, eternity blank.

Oration-" The Leaders and the Led
J. Writ FOrney, Hanover, Pa. The mo-
tive which animated the children of Israel
in abandoning their miserable existence and
seeking his her one still inspires human
action. Mem Of bOldness arc the leaders
in this. In the times that tried mems
souls, in every epoch Of the worlds his
tory, men have stepped forth to take the
LEADERSHIP Of all great movements. If
you will see tho leaders and lawgivers Of
tomorrow look about you not in politics
alone but in every sphere Of life. True
greatness does not require golden crown
to make itself felt. He is q r.onarch who
give us a constitution q pOntiff who
breaches truth and virtue. The speakers
plea was for perfect freedom Of Thought
in all the duties and relations of life.
OratiOn-''Man's Intellectual Advance
ment Lewis F. Brown, Now Oxford.
The nOblest study of man is man nature
is great stOrchouse Of knowledge. The
speaker drew a charming picture of rural
llfe i; flowers are the alphabet of nature
by which We write O'er hill aud dale mys-
teriOus truths. Everything around US is
adapted to mans intellectual advance
ment. With the Psalmist We may exclaim
''rhe heavens declare the glory Of God,
and the firmament showeth his handiwOrk''
The undevelOped state of man is nearly
allied to a state of sleep, undisturbed by
dreams. 1t is the understanding that sets
man abve all other sensible beings and
all the light we can let in will
contribute to our elevation and higher ad-
vancement. The Creator gave powers of
mind in order that they might be cultivated,
and to this must be joined a spiritual ele-
vati0n, by which they will be as light in
darkness, joy in sorrow, victory in conflict.
Music-Medley of popular airs.
Grafton" Choosing Profession
Josiah. E. Sprenkle, Hanover, Pa.
It has pleased the All-Wise to encompass
US with difficulties. There have been q
few extraordinarily gifted men who have
been enabled to deliberately choose the
sphere Of activity upon which they pro-
pose to enter In determining the choice of
a profession the force of early Impressions
are deep and controlling. The propcnsi-
ties of men are not always glaringly ap-
parent in youth no man is perfectly aware
of his powers until he has put them to
actual test. He never made a bad
figure who understood his talents nor
good one who mistOok them. 1t is impOr-
tant that we should employ our energies
in that direction in which We feel q capa-
CITY 1Or success.
Oration-''Man Social BEING Har-
vey E. Bartholomew, Bath, Pa. Mutual
dependence is written ON every atom and
mOlecule of the universal creation. Turn
ing our eyes from nature to man We find the
same truth stamped there. God has bound
together the human race by the ties Of
mutual dependence. Man is pre-emi
nently a social being. The savage in his
not less than he in more ex-
alted sphere Of life, is animated by the
social principle that ultimately is to bring
all men into harmony and concord. We
to-day stand upon an eminence and
look back over 8, 600 years OF bloodshed
not one has failed to leave behind its ep;-
taph, and upon every cloud in the sky, in
every flower Of the field. upon the great
heart of humanity, is indelibly stamped

Oration-'' Responsibilities OF Wealth
John G. Hager, Lancaster. Pa. Man was
endowed by his Creator with body and
mind, capable of overcoming the obstacles
that surround him. To crafty his desire
man has ever been compelled to obey the
Divine command of earning his bread by
the sweat of his brow. Wealth is tho
centre around which all great enterprises
revOlve. In carrying out the great indus
tries of the world wealth plays promi-
nent part. Tie capitalist has great
resting upon him, for
upon tho proper disposition Of wealth
depends the happiness of people. The
owner of wealth finds it to his great advan-
tago to strive to elevate the material and
condition of those he employs.
In the present war against mOnOpOlies and
of great wealth for itself
alone is discerned the dawning Of q brighter
lay.
OratiOn-NatiOnal Safety-O. J. ii.
Swift, Williamsburg, Pa. The web of ma
,iOEal history, though woven by different
lands, is uniform aud similar in texture,
md in all We see the struggle for freedom
ind liberty. Love of country has always
been one of tho purest emotions Of tho
human heart When Columbus ut the
lead Of his little band dedicated the
new found soil to naughty Spain,
10 little dreamed that that land was to be-
,Ome the theatre of the events that the
history OF the American republic pro-
luced. Love Of home, of heaven and Of
country aru the safeguards Of our national
existence that will win for it perpetuity,
and power.
