The baccalaureate sermon was deliver
ed before the graduating class Sunday
evening, May 10th, by the Rev. L. M.
Davis, of Sabina. The church had been
handsomely decorated with flowers for
this occasion and presented q very
beautiful appearance. The class assem-.
bled in body and were marched into
the church by Superintendent Williams.
The church was completely filed with
very intelligent and attentive audience.
The address OF Rev. Davis was a very
mastery effort, being eloquent ia deliv-
cry, deep in thought, beautiful in COM
position and every point was clearly and
plainly elucidated. He addressed the
class for an hour from the following
words 80 send out thy light and thy
truth let them lead me let them bring
me unto thy holy hill and to thy taber-
nacles." He spoke at quite length of
the vast Importance of every one having
a proper guide through this life, Of the
uncertainties of this life and that we
have no power whereby we can liftaside
the veil that hides the future and see
our course through life mapped out be-
fore US. Speaking of the great import
ance of having worth and high aims in
life and letting our light shine with
brightness so as to light the pathway of
those who follow US, as our examples
will most likely be initiated by them
that life is too short for us to make
many selections of what vocations we
will follow through life. He feelingly
and sympathetically referred to their
separation from each OF her as classmates
and commended them to the high and
dignifed esteem in which noble char
acter is held. The address was one OF
Rev. Davis masterly efforts. The sub.
Unity and simplicity of the language
was united with correct sentiments and
beautiful expressions, powerful thought
with gentle feeling, complete in all it's
parts and one that sank deep into the
hearts of all who had the pleasure of
being present.
