Turn to the right

restores flesh and strength. In the
cure of all functional disturbances,
weaknesses, and irregularities, it's
guaranteed TO give satisfaction, or
the money is refunded. 1t does
all that's claimed for it, or it

and ]. Stinaker, with Miss Keedick at
the piano, rendered some pretty music,
and Rev. K. 3. White head Of the M. Z.
church, offered the opening prayer.
Rev. Shields found his text in the
third epistle of John, second verse,
which reads: Beloved, l wish above all
things that thou mayest prosper and be
in health ever as thy soul prospereth.
Rev. Shields has a fine command OF
language, and held his audience for
nearly an hour. He spoke in brief as
follows
The object of this service is not to
teach things relating to the school-room
or the school, but TO speak OF the prac-
teal side of life and of the most prac-
tical side Of its spiritual foundation, and
along the line indicated by the verse or
Scripture just read in your hearing.
The verse is taken from the last let
ter of the Apostle John, which, as you
have seen from its reading, is letter
of greeting and of good words, and you
have seen, also, from the reading, that
il is a letter Of personal counsel from
wise and spiritual-minded man, and OF
friendly counsel from such friend, as
| think. none of us ever have known,
or can ever know in this world.
You will observe the manner In
which he begins the text is calculated
| to catch the ttention.--"Beloved l
wish above all things that thou mayest
prosper" and the feet OF men are press
/ ing toward that state, and their hands
are reaching out after prosperity to-day
X
But, consider the second desire,
which, in the language of the Apostle,
we extend TO you to-day: Beloved,
wish above all things that thou mayst
prosper and be in health" And viewed
! from its relation TO material things, we
must admit that health is of greatest
/ importance in the present life.
The crippled man is at great diSad-
vantage in the struggle Of this world
The same is true of the man who is
sick-who is unable to keep on at the
duties of his calling, day after day. SO
men have been willing TO give almost
anything which they possessed to re-
| gain this health when once they have
lost it. 1t is right to seek it: it is right
to pray for it.
In concluding, he made strong per-
sonal appeal to the members OF the
class, to observe the injunction OF the
text, and that he would wish them nc
more and no less, for it has been said
that when one wished another prosper
ity aud health without regard to his
spiritual welfare, he put r. whip
into his hands to use against the Crea'
tor and giver of all good gifts"

Normal began yesterday Sunday, with
the baccalaureate. sermon. The past
school year has been one of more than
ordinary success, the facilities for school
work having been better than ever be
fore. The corps of instructors has been
the best that could be secured, and the
attendance during the past year was
exceedingly gratifying-the highest
number enrolled being 2J6.
Taking everything into consideration
We can count this one Of the most pro-
gresSive years Of this institution since
it's location here. Although we believe
i'm one or two instances that more
pupils have been enrolled than this
year and the school represented by a
larger graduating class, still for solid
work and progression in every respect
the past term has not been equaled.
The students in attendance represent
twenty-five counties OF the State which
is certainly very encouraging report
for this school. The graduating class
is composed of six young ladies' and six
Young gentlemen, namely, Miss f.

veterans has been organized at Kansas

at least five feet 10 inches tall, equal
ly divided in numbers between the

When marching the blue and the
