you, he that heareth my word, and be-
lieveth on him that sent me, hath ever
lasting life" etc. His theme was: The
Gospel salvation by faith. Mr.. Fair
banks is a strong and logical thinker,
and his sermon was strong and full of
meat. After the sermon, the gradual
ting class, who occupied the front
seats, arose in body and were person
ally addressed with tender and appro-
pirate words.
RECEPTIONS.
Though not within the limits of the
time commonly designated as Com
mencement Week." nevertheless, con-
sidering its close connection both in
time and circumstances, we would first
make mention of the reception given
to the Senior class and number of
their friends at the residence of Rev
Henry Fairbanks, Friday evening,
June Ii. The attendance was about
sixty. Vocal solos were among the
features of the evening; nor were the
college songs neglected, to say nothing
of the cream and berries. The evening
was undoubtedly II pleasant one to all.
AT THE ATHENKUM.
1t seems as if the school were this
year especially favored. Monday even
ing in accordance with invitation the
students and instructors of the Acade-
my and many of their friends attended
II social gathering given by Mr.. and
our public library. The Art Gallery
and upper hall were thrown open. The
attendance we think, must have been
full two hundred, if not more. The
services of the band had been procured,
and their music as usual was certainl V
worthy of the high appreciation which
it received. They played IA number OF
pieces in the Hall; and then toward
the close of the evening came down
Room, and here continued the pro-
gramme on which they had commenced
up stairs. Vocal music was afforded
by the Academy Glee Club. The sing
ing was good. Beyond doubt the
whole evening was enjoyed by all. Al
about half past ten the company dis
persed.
THE EXAMINATIONS.
Tuesday and Wednesday June 81
and 2I) were the days appointed fol-
the public oral examinations. The
committee this year consisted of Rev
DR.. Hulburt, and Messrs. F. ID. Aver
and Otis 5. johnson. The result was
exceedingly satisfactory. With thes,
the work of the year closed, and the
needed rest is granted to both teacher:
and students. The weather this year
since it has not been so intensely warm
us at other times has certainly favored
the closing of the term i'll a successful
manner. We hope that the vacation
which has just begun will help all tt
whom it is granted.
| THE CONCERT.
The clear sky and fresh air showed
their influence i'll the large audience
assembled in the Academy Hall. The
music by Eastman's Orchestra was ex-
cellent, and they deserve the reputa-
ton which is theirs. The Whistlinl
Soloist, Miss Ella NJ. Chamberlin, o.
Boston, was perhaps the feature of tn,
evening. Miss Chamberlin was as
signed three parts on the programme
but the fact that she appeared six times
upon the stage shows how her must,
was received. The audience seemed
to especially enjoy her last two o
three pieces, i'll which she introduced
some of the more familiar tunes. TIL,
concert was given under the auspice.
of the Graduating Class, and in it they
were far more successful than they ha,
expected. As we go to press, Thurs
day forenoon, the graduating exercise
are in progress, and further repor
