The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1890-06-13

The occasion OF the annual address
called out good sized and appreciatiye
audience. The exercises were opened
by a piano duet by Misses Pearl Vance
and Edna Allen, we'll executed. The
Apollo club made their first appearance,
and the appreciation in which they will
be held was well displayed by a hearty
encore.
DIR Campbell was introduced and de-
livered an able address, such q one as
should be fruitful TO the student and the
individual generally, willing 10 listen to
logic. The topic was Faith and Reason.
The speaker analyzed each in n mastery
manner. His power OF illustration is
good, and some OF his pictures were great
ly appreciated. Once there was Greek
30 ponderously intellectual that he only
had faith in himself. His head became
80 heavy from thinking that he was
obliged to stop occasionally along the
streets and rest it against some marble
column at hand.
There are big headed Sophomores and
others to-day who know more about re-
| ligion than the students OF lifelong
study. Truth IL good deal like the
chunk OF mud, found afterwards, by q
varied process, in the sapphire with its
blue rays, the opal with its varied hues
and the diamond with its brilliant
sparkle, set in a backing OF snow, al
from the same mud.
Another song by the Apollo club closed
the evenings program.
Commencement exercises were opened
Wednesday with prayer by DR. Camp
bell. The stage of the opera house wa
nicely decorated for the occasion. Be
sides the instructors and pupils, tn
trustees OF the college faced the selec
J audience.
A piano solo by Miss Lora Vance wa
well executed.
Mr. Carlton Sox then delivered JUNO
grafton on "Ideality." 1t was o plainl
: spoken effort showing careful prepare
r tion. lie said that the future rules tn
( present, and it is the power OF the fu
+ ture that causes the progress of the day
Ideals are necessary, and they are c
value to ones life, though not attained
We should develope the best in mar
hood, looking towards the ideality.
man without an ideality is like the ma

: Too many follow The. butterfly, securin
J little il they capture it. 1t takes yea
e to define success and approach the idea
ity. Life is hard work at the best, bl
j we should strive to do our parts well an
a faithfully.
''Let us then be up and doing, etc."
n Miss Anna Houck was heard in ski
is full performance ON the piano, whit
e Miss Rose Trnmbull delivered juni,
.e Grafton on Pictures one that was fl
y of pretty thoughts and nicely word'
pictures. Not of the famous pictures
the Vatican or OF Paris would she ire
!. but of those locked in strong cases,
which everyone is an owner, of the pi
- lures Of memory. What an influence
mans life. 1t is this picture that driy
at the convict to become a raving mania
: or that brightens the life of another.
= beautiful picture depends on the ligh
but many place the picture SO as to
Of feet their own image. Like the houi
,ie wife's things always with place
=. never to be found, the key to these p
lures often turns up unexpectedly.
