Eryeburg.


The Baccalaureate address before the
class of 'S9 ofFryeburg Academy, was given
on Sunday evening, June 9th, at the Congre-
gational church. by Rev. F. E. Woodruff, of
Bowdoin College. The subject of this excel
lent discourse was christian Warfare" and
was founded upon the words of the Apostle
Paul to the Ephesians in the vi chapter,
1917 verses. He said life has been termed
journey, q pilgrimage and race, 1t is also
a school in which God is the teacher and we
are the scholars. The Bible best describes
1t. 1t also tells us what God intends US to
be, and inspires us with faith to do all that
Is required. The most expressive idea Of
life to me is that of a great battle fought
against foes within and without and the
higher ones work the harder is the strife.
The Christian life, In many respects, is like
TO that of soldier in the time of war.
Weapons and preparations are necessary for
both.
Bible-knowledge, truth, faith, love to God
and man. and prayer are some Of the needful
equipment Of each one who enlists under
a good part in life and choose rightly.
The scripture lessons were read by Mr.. j.
