Vice Chancellor Henry NJ. MacCracken, Of the Uni
laureate sermon for 1891 in the University Place
Presbyterian Church last evening. His subject was
"The Strength Demanded for Front Place." and his
text was the story Of Ahimaaz and Cushi in the
eighteenth chapter of I'D Samuel. zone Of these
youths nced' he said, and the other stood strong.
lie who finchcd possessed physical strength, but
from tho strength of Samson down to that of the
college athlete Of to-day it is demonstrated that
man may be strong of body and not necessarily strong
in any other direction The front place in life Is the
place of serious test and of special opportunity to
help to harm ones self or Others knowledge and
intellect related to the front place. There much
said against ambition. believe in ambition in lbs
true sense. Let young men who desire front rank
be not ashamed to seek for it, but recolect that the
strength Of an eager desire to attain first place Is
not the strength that is required to fill first place
properly. The strength demanded for front place
IS morale strength, that firm adherence to principle
by which man acts up TO his of duty, whatever
beside. This moral strength is not the whole Of
Christian religion, but it implies Christian religion and
depends on it. Some men show their unftness for
front place by their brsque forgetfulness for others
feelings. The quality Of strength necessary for the
highest place is the strength to sympathize"
In closing DR.. MacCracken spoke feelngly Of DR..
Howard Crosby, whose strength he said, was of that
order necessary for a front place. He possessed
among his attributes marvel0uely strong Impulses IN
Guiding sympathy with and compassion for humanity,
deep for Gods law and win of great force
in behalf Of the Hottest impulse whenever he recog-
nZed a conflict.

The Kentucky Society S. a. r. was formed by about

Kentucky 10 form this society; this invitation was
issued at the request Of committee OF the NewJersee
