Commencement week was inau
guraLed last Sunday at the NJ. E
church and the occasion celebrated
by one of the largest audiences thar
ever assembled in the edifice. The
sermon was delivered by Rev. Gross
Alexander, chaplain at Vanderbilt
University, and was a masterpiece
of logic, poetic thought and theo
logical expression, couched in most
elegant diction and delivered with q
gracefulness of manner, case of ex-
preston and cunsummate polish
rarely equalled.
On Tuesday night at the College
the entertainment of the
PRIMARY DEPARTMENT,
Under the supervision of Miss
Sallie Shapard, was witnessed and
enjoyed 10y large audience. 1t
disparages no one to say that her
entertainments are the most unique
and pleasing of any. She seems to
have the faculty of selecting exact
ly the right thing and training the
child to the best possible rendition
of the selection. 1t was pleasingly
brief tOo-how an audience enjoys
brevity in palm leaf season! Fol

never speaks without saying some
thing rich and sensible. His
yesterday was full of sound
est advice and wisdom. He was
particularly felicitous in one matter
that we will mention: In advising
young ladies as to the manner OF
furnishing their home he said about
the first thing to be put into a
house should be a book case, and |
then good books in the case. He
said that no book was worth buy
ing and reading that was not worth |
reading more than once. After
getting these good books, or while
getting them, he advised that they
subscribe for and read the Christian
Advocate and the PULASKI CITIZEN,
paying the CITIZEN a very high |
compliment in saying that it was
one of the best papers that came to
his office and one of the few that
bore evidence of being well edited.
The CITIZEN had a man there TO
blush when the dear doctor spoke
thus kindly, but the public could
not see him and we take this oppor-
tunity to make bashful Obeisance.
Last night witnessed the closing
exercises of the term,
