Commencement Week-BaccaIaure'
ate Sermon by President Hyde.
Especial to the Press1


BRUNSWICK, June 20. The exercises of
Commencement week opened today with the
baccalaureate sermon by Pre- sident Hyde.
Following is an abstract of his address:
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now
is the day of salvation. Ii. Cor. 6:2
1t is always now it is never bye and bye.
The present ever is the future never is We
live in the present; we always must. The
future, as future, ever remains beyond us
like the end of the rainbow which the child
pursues. When the child comes to the point
where the bow seemed to meet the earth the
apparent point of meeting is just as far away
as ever. The child soon learns that nowhere
in space can that meeting point be found.
Well were it for grown men and women
could they learn as quickly that the point
where the future is really present Is no
where to be found in time.
The words of our text have definite mes
sage to those who have already accepted
Christ as Lord and Saviour. To such they
were primarily addressed, beseechlng Cor
inthian believers that they receive not the
grace of Christ in vain The most prevalent,
and most deadly of the practical heresies
that curse the church today is that which
makes the grace of Christ of little immediate
effect, by representing salvation, not as
noble life in the present, but as a sort OF
honorary degree to be conferred In the here
after.
Salvation is a life of unselfsh service and
peaceful Joy. 1t is a life of which God is the
Lord; Christ the Ideal, and the Holy spirit
the inspiration. AS such it must be wrought
out here and now, not in the remote heaven
of far-off future. Now or never, here. OF
nowhere, is the stern gospel alternative
Here and now you have Gods word, Gods
will, Gods work, Gods church, Gods
grace, Gods Spirit. All the essential ele-
ments of any conceivable Heaven are pres
ent before you here and now. Live this
blessed life of filial obedience to the Father,
of Joyous union with the Saviour; OF deep
inbreathiug of the Spirit here and now, and
heaven is yours now and forever, here and
hereafter. Fall short of this here and now
receive the grace of Christ in vain; in other
words, withstanding your, formal pro
LESSONS, live. worldly, selfish, groyelllne
lives, and in all the width Of the universe,
and in all the extent of eternity, there
neither is nor ever will be Heaven that you
can enter The day of Judgment begins with
fine hour of present choice between duty and
Indulgence between selfishness and conse-
Grafton; between present right, and present
wrong. -.
We are indeed taught to hope for better
things. 'We are saved by hope" But nope
is of two kinds, one noble and prophetic
the other deadening and delusive., One Is
the hope of the industrious youth that justly
expects to see industry ripen into prosperity
The other is the hope OF the loater standlne

a Mystery.

CHICAGO. June 19.-The body OF K. Dawes Dawes
Hutchcraft, young lawyer from Paris,
Kentucky, who has been missing since May
81, was found last evening in Lake MIchi. /.
gan, near Colhour, Illinois. Mr.. Hutcheraft
had been visiting friends in Chicago for some
time. About o'clock on the, evening Oh
May 81 he hired row boat and went for
row. At 3 o'clock the next morning the
boat was found drifting about two miles
from South Chicago, but its occupant was
missing. In the bottom of the boat was
found five cent piece and bunch OF keys.
When Hutchcraft failed to return on the
following day the matter was reported to the
police, his friends becoming suspicious that
he had been foully dealt with, as when ne
went out on the lake he carried considerable
money, a draft for over $4,000, fine gold
watch and chain and other valuables. Since
that time, however, no trace was found OF
him until last evening, when his body turned
up near Colhour, in a badly decomposed
state. The watch and chain, the money and
draft were missing, although number of
unimportant papers were found in the pock-
cts of his coat. There were numerous
bruises on his head and deep cut behind
the left ear, which was apparently inflicted
by a blow with some instrument. These
marks and the fact that all his yaluables
We're Vier 81 missing gives color to the theory of
foul nlay. Hutchcraft carried an insurance
noIicy Of $4,000 on his life.

bees, missed several hives from his place at
the Katahdin iron works, and many were
the thief. One day abont noon, hearing the
shouts of some school boys he went to the

making off with hive well stocked with
honey. The animal was laboring along in an

his fore paws. Although closely pursued he
clung to it, until he reached strong fence.

The Maine agent of the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington, in his report for
May, says: The month OF May through, S5ag n
agricultural operations Indeed, the month
was remarkable for earliness, and the
weather for the whole period was pleasant.
The month gave 21 fair days. The condi-
tions were all favorable for farm work and
the rapid growth OF all farm crops. Winter
wheat and rye are grown to but limited ex-
tent. The condition of these crops are fully
up to the average of former seasons. Core
spondents report splendid condition, for
was no injury from spring freezing o.. kill
ing, and the month has been exceedingly
favorable. From all parts of the State the
reports are that apple orchards blossomed
profusely, and the condition OF trees and

the secretary of the Nahant society that Mr.
johnson had forfeited his membership by
non-payment of one assessment, but his
son, Mr.. William J. johnson, who returned
Saturday from Nahant, is positive that no
notice of the death in question was ever re-
ceiyed in this city. His father lived with
him since coming from Massachusetts,, some
two years before his death, and all assess
ments received here were promptly paid.
The last receipt from the society is dated
Feb B, 1885. He has lived in this city since
that time, and, it certainly seems improbable
that the card Of notification could have gone
astray. The deceased, at the time of his
death, was 70 years old, and had resided in
Nahant since early manhood, holding town
office for some twenty-six years. The strik-
ing of his name from the rolls of the society,
after these many years Of prompt payment,
and for only very slight infraction of the
bylaws, has excited much interest for the
family in their old home.

BosToN, June 2O-Frank Dolliver, 81

Crescent Beach, Revere, this afternoon.
Young Dolliver has for some time past been

young lady refused to allow him to visit her.
This sadly depressed him, and this after
noon he entered old Pavilion Hall, which is
used by summer residents for Sunday school
purposes, and walking up to his father who
was teaching a Sunday school class, placed
a revolver to his own breast and exclaiming,
"Father Matte wont have mel" fired. The

This places the championship between Colby
and Bates, with about even chances, all con-
sidered. Colby has one more game to play,
and that with Bates; Bates three more, tive
with the NJ. S. C.'s. If Colby wins her game
and Bates her other two, the two mines will
be tied; or if Bates wins her Colby game
and loses the other two, they are tied. The
league table has been more complicated this

The heirs in this city of the late David
johnson, who died here last February, en-
gagged counsel Saturday to present their
claims against the Nahant Mutual Benefit
Association, of which the deceased was
charter member. The case is of interest to
all members of mutual benefit societies. who
are necessarily dependent for notices OF
deaths upon the reception of postal cards, as
the present controversy is said to have had
its origin in the failure of the secretary to
give the proper notification. 1t is claimed by

E. B. Mallet is certainly making business
boom in Freeport. He is having shoe fac
tory built which will cost about $4,000, to
be occupied by Shaw, Cooling & Co., of Port
land. He also has in construction ten cot

tory and others who may be employed at va
rious industries. He is running brick yard
and has lately sunk an artesian well $50 feet
deep. He is working granite quarry which
he discovered in getting out underpinning
for his buildings, and which is said to be
one of the finest in the State. Several ear
loads of this granite are shipped daily. Be
sides all these industries which arise from
Mr.. Mallets business, many minor improve
ments are being made, such as laying out
streets, grading grounds, etc, for which his
payroll will amount to $500 per week.

Such hope, grounded in the real experience
of the present tlme is the sure prophet and
exponent of the enveloping eternity; The
tender bud, unfolding under the inclement
skies of earth is the unfalllng promise that

But to expect that something here or

the moment in which you decide respecting

of death is only what bedtime is to the
