Off For Nicaragua. ! RACCALAUREATE SERMONS I Preached Yesterday at the Colleges Before the Graduates-The Rev. Dr. ! Huntington at Trinity College Other Addresses.
 HARTFORD, June 23.-The baccalaureate | sermon at Trinity college was preached to- ! day in Christ church by Rev. W. R. Bunting | ton, D. D., rector of Graceschurch, NewYork. He took for his text l Tim. IT; .sThe King, Eternal, Immortal, Invisible" - Considering what 8 monarchical book the Bible Is, there looks to be ground for surprise at the strong hold it retains on the confidence of republican people. Having turned our backs on kings as class it would seem nat ural enough that we should also fall out of | conceit with scriptures that have so much to say in advocacy of kingdom. But such is not the case. As truly as any people we speak of and to the Most Highest in terms that breathe the distinct flavor of royalty. His is the "Di- vine Majesty, I've say and His the Sovereign ty," regal words, both of them, and when we come to him in prayer we speak of it as ''ad dressing the throne"
 Are we to speEd our days repining over the fact that we are not Europeans, beguiled by the absurd fancy that we can in no way better serve our land and people than by efforts to transplant to 8 new soil social growths which, even in the countries where they are indigenous, seem ready to vanish awaya say, No. I bid you waken rather to the magnificent possibilities, the unmatched opportunity our King eternal and invisible has put within our reach. I thank (N,l @I~ kl4kk ~ ET@~I, -k and to George Berkeley, the one prophet of the seventeenth, the other prophet of the eighteenth century, it was given to predict great things for the America to come. Let us upon whom the ends of this nineteenth age are falling take up their hopeful cry, and claim this land for him upon whose vesture is the name written, King of Kings. Gentlemen of the graduating class, have been speaking to you of the Christian com monwealth. No questions loom so heavily on our horizon as the social questions. Here within college walls you have been studying them in an academic form; but presently as citizens, as ministers of the gospel, as law- yers, as men of affairs, you will find your selves graphing them in dead earnest. Hold fast your faith in the monarchy of Almighty God. Be not afraid or ashamed to be known as the subjects of that king. Have no mis- throne. Remember that whatever else pass- eth away, He abides, and that His law of righteousness knows no appeal. Moreover set your faces towards the sun and let your voy- age be 'onward into light" Steer clear of the sty at Ciroe. even though she take on the form of an angel. Keep the ship headed to- ward "the blessed isles," even though ali men laugh your idealism to scorn. What ever your occupation in life, forget not that your sfcalling" is to be an inheritor of the kingdom. So shall you keep course that by no possibility can fail of it's reward. So shall you find even disappointment and re- verses touched with golden light. So shall you come at length to the quiet waters and sure anchorage of the. heaven where you would be.
 PRESIDENT BARTLETT AT DARTMOUTH. HANOVER, June 23.-The annual com mencement exercises at Dartmouth college began to-day at 1O:30 a. m. President Bartlett preached the bacca1aureate sermon before the graduating class: Proverbs, AIS: "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shiueth more and more unto the perfect day."
 At o'clock this evening Rev. Professor Francis Browne, D. D., of Union Theologi- cal seminary, New York, addressed the Y. NJ. c. A. on "Modern archaeology and the religious ideas of the Old Testament" The annual examinations come tomorrow, with prizes in the evening.
 AT WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY. MDDLErowN, Conn.,, June 23.-The bsc- oalsureate at Wesleyan University was de- livered in the Methodist church this morn- I ing by Bishop E. G. Andrews from the text, John XVIII, 37:
 "Every man that is of the truth heareth my voice." A correct method in viewing spiritual things is essential. One method readily seized upon in these days as the method of the clear-head, but this method is not valid for the great mass of men who have neither leisure, mental ability, nor cul- l ture. These men must have another method | for personal decision. There must be ele- ments of 6 moral or spiritual kind, for which the bare intellect has no calculous whatever. Scientific natural method is inn possible in the presence of plaintiff or music. The range of reality in these things is not
 known by the clear headed man nor can do- mestic affection, patriotism or love of truth ! be measured by this method. The method of the clear head may not stand by itself as ! the criterion. Another method is that of the pure heart which presupposes natural capacity for human goodness through God given revelation. In support of this method may be stated that it is the method set forth in the New Testament in the life of Christ and the disciples. The truths of re- ligion cannot be computed by the sure steps of demonstration. There are evidences which point to Christ ss the truth, but over against these are CerLA1n pE6SumDLlOnG. The O0QcIQ- sion reached by any individual soul depends upon his moral nature as he looks upon the great question of Christianity and at these presumptions. It becomes you to be true to yourselves, to your race and to the author of ! truth. You have turned away from the or dinary vacations of life to find out the truth. Wherever the truth leads there follow, and l there will be found all the fundamental con- victions that make life great.
 The university sermon was preached this ! evening by Rev. Ensign McChesney, Ph. D., pastor of Madison avenue M. k. church, New York.
 THE BACCALAUREATK AT WELLESLEY. WELLESLEY, Mass, June 23.-The bacca- ] laureate sermon at Wellesley to-day was de- \ livered by Rev. Frank Wakeley Gunsaulus. D. D., of Chicago, Illinois.
 He said our present social problem will not ! vanish because vulgar men shout and edu- ! cated men whisper. Shall not the college ! under Christian banners construe our his \ torya If it cannot do that we, to \ whom providence had sent every race,
 | shall have scholars to dream and not to | do. The speaker alluded to the work of
 Charles Sumner in coping with slavery and
 others who had battlsd with evil and error
 and called for courage in dealing with the
 social and labor problems which are before
 ! the country. In closing he said that he had
 l just come with dust-stained garments from
 ! the fire and smoke of the socialistic battle in
 Chicago.
