Memorial hall was crowded to its ut
most last evening with those DESTROYS OF
listening to the commencement exercises
Of tile Sank Centre High School. The
hall was beautifully decorated with
flowers, and in every way possible, made
acceptable for the occasion. A large
chorus choir had been chosen to furnish
part OF the program, and were seated
upon the stage. The graduating class,
consisting of Misses Mamie E. Batchel-
der, Maude S. Childs, Rosa q. Cooper,
Hilda c. Nelson, Ruth L. Norris, kittie
l.. Norris, Eye A. Reed, Leta M. White,
and Messrs. Otis B. DeLurya, Henry N.
and David w. Reed, occupied places upon
the front of the stage together with Prot.
Woodley, President Norris and the
speaker of the evening.
At eight o'clock the chorus choir open
ed the exercises by rendering Solder
mann's Swedish Wedding March, in a
very acceptable manner, which showed
the result of weeks OF careful training.
Rev. w. Lawson followed with an IN
vocation and then Prot. Woodley intro
duced, w. 1. Henshaw, who sung Say
not Farewell" with great feeling and
execution. His selection was encored
and he responded with a song written
for himself by one of his late associates
in opera in San Francisco.
The speaker OF the evening, Rev. Way
land Hoyt, Of Minneapolis, was then IN
PRODUCED and delivered an excellent adj
dress on the Laws of Success, carrying
his hearers with him during his entire
discourse
HIS speech was substantially as fol-
lows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Among the
MANY discoveries in science and especl-
ally in chemistry of that great man
Sir Humphrey Davies, there was one OF
which he most loved to tell. When the
subject was preached he always said
that the greatest thing he eyer discov-
cred was Michael Farraday. He was
especially proud of that discovery be-
cause he had come upon great and
noble soul, and so we, in our daily walks
will oftentimes come upon a great and
noble soul, and it is the best discovery
that man can make. Diogenes says that
, +,.ue man is a study in that it is clear
character and one can understand the
principle which shapes it and gain the
hest idea oft and what makes it what
It IS. Every novel iu literature is debtor
IN Homer. every mariner who sails the
seas today is indebted to Columbus tor
his compass. Lifeis girt with with the
zodiac of science and the wayside is
strewn with men who persisted to adj
vanceit. The mighty pyl amids of Egypt
did not tumble into shape but were the
result of ages of patient and systematic
.,,bo,.. Each man who accompanies
anvthiue in this world is pyramid
builder. Ideas, yolition, purposes, deeds
ont of which life is formed never tumble
into any shape of purity or symmetry
lint are the result of well developed and
practical laws. This IS what ! wish,
practically, to speak of. Some lives are
rugged and flow on in broken channels.
but not so the lie of the student, there
is no outward glare ia this life. 1t pas
ses on in quiet. steady course, and 1T IS
of a scholars life which l wish 10 speak
tonight.
It is the life of man who has done
more for the educational world OF to-
day-to whom Our modern schools are
more indicated for the good in know
ledge. literature, history and science thap
any other man in the world-to the
great DIR. Arnold. OF Rugby, that call
YOUR attention. He was man who
observed the laws of SUCCESS, and his
first and greatest law was the law OF
necessity of toll He delighted to quote
the words of the great Barrows on this
point. 1T is with US like other things
in nature WHICH are preserved III their
purity. The Law compelling us to toll rs
as omnipresent as grayitatieg," Heaven
is no place for loa6ng angels, Adam aiad
Eve were placed in the garden OF EdeiI to
tend it. They wrought with their own
faculties. There is a great deal ct talk
in our schools and colleges of genius.
Genius is only quicker subjecting of
the laws of toll. All men are self made
men. The longest sword OF opportunity
is too short for the man who will not
add a step of effort to it. Newton says
that the path to his discoveries was the
faculty of always thinking about them.
Michael Angelo, when asked why he
spent so much time upon piecefof sculp-
ture, replied, "Trifes make perfection
but perfection is no trifie." 1t is told of
Thomas Carlyle when asked why he
wrote the life of Oliver Cromwell, Il did
it because he was good man, who said
his prayers and hated show. My old
mother was always praising him and all
the world was always belaboring him
and concluded that it was matter be-
tween my old mother and the world,
and so / started to find out and dug
and dug, and finally found that the
world had buried him under about thir-
ty feet at muck and IL was TO heaye this
muck off him that l wrote ike book"
One of the greatest obstacles that
stand before us today is being troubled
with not wanting to do what we ought
to do-the dilly-dallying idleness which
is such nuisance. DR.. Arnold was af-
flicted with not wanting to do what he
knew he must do, but he overcame it by
trying to find the highest joy in work.
Take your work like dose and it will
never be pleasant" he said, and
