THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION
He Recomm ends the General Observance
Of CaI Dazr ON Oct

He Recomm ends the General Observance
of Columbus Day Oct. FL.
Whereas by q joint resolution, approved
June 20, 1882, it was resolved by the senate and
house of representatives of the United States
of America in congress assembled, THAT the
president of the United States be authorized
and directed to issue proclamation recon-
mending to the people the observance in all
their localities of the 400th anniversary of the
discovery of America, on the 2lst Of October,
1892, by public demonstrations and by suitable
exercises in their schools and other places of
assembly,
Now, therefore, l. Benjamin Harrison, presi-
dent Of the United States of America, in pur-
suance Of the aforesaid joint resolution, do
hereby appoint Friday, Oct. 81, 1892, the 40Oth
anniversary of the discovery of America by
Columbus, as general holiday for the people
of the United States. On that day let the peo-
pie SO far as possible cease from toll and de-
vote themselves to such exercises as may best
express honor to the discoverer and their ap-
probation of the great achievements of the
four completed centuries of American life.
Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of
progress and enlightenment. The system of
universal education is in our age the most
prominent and salutary feature of the spirit Of
enlightenment and it is peculiarly appropriate
that the schools be made by the people the CEN
ter of the days demonstration. Let the ma
tional flag float over every school house in the
country, and the exercises be such as shall i'm
press upon our youth the patriotic duties OF
American citizenship.
In the churches and in the other places of
assembly of the people let there be expressions
of gratitude to divine Providence for the de-
vout faith of the disco eerer, and for the divine
care and guidance which have directed our his
tory and so abundantly blessed our people.
In testimony whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this 2lst day
of July, in the year of our Lord one Thousand
eight hundred and ninety-two. and of the in
dependence of the United States the one hun
bred and seventeenth.

WEsTBRook SEMINARY.

BaccaIaureate Sermon by Rev. A. A. Miner
of Boston.
The graduating class of the Westbrook
Seminary listened to fine baccalaureate
sermon yesterday in All Souls church at
Morrill's Corner, The services were con-
Quoted and the sermon delivered by
Rev. A. A. Miner of Boston, Mass.
Mr.. Miner took his text from St. Mat
thew, 9th chapter, 33d verse, "But seek
ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness, and all these things shall
be added unto you.n
In the course of his sermon DR.. Miner
said: We are living in the kingdom of
God and in proportion as we are good
subjects we have that kingdom within
us. Whoever is right through and
through has the righteousness of the
kingpom of God within him. But the
world wants a recompense for being
good. There is no reeompense for being
wise, for being right. 1t is impossible
to be rewarded for having the best thing,
the only thing. What wonld you think
come to you and after being fed of your
bounty should ask for recompense?
The food was what he needed and he
partook OF our bounty. God opens his
bounty to us all, offers all to us and shall
we ask a fecompense? If you have
hold of it, keep it. If you have not,
seek it.
In the second place. If we seek it we
are assured of success, which assurance
we get nowhere else. Men may gain
glory, riches, fame, but nothing assures
success. Last week we saw statesmen
struggling for nominatin to the
highest place in our country. All were
eager for the highest position, but only
one could succeed, and his success de-
pended on his party. In the same way,
wealth when within our reach, as it
seems, foils us. Fame, the tickle, court.
ed goddess, is yours to-day land to.mor
row belongs to another, and is truble
always. Its pursuit does not lead us to
do unto others as we would have them
really desire it we find assured success.
In the third place. Christians hesitate
to follow the words of the text for fear
of losing their place in the world. But if
you seek first the kingdom of God you
will be in position to acquire all that is
needed of the worlds goods. Righteous
ness is health, long life. Honor thy
father and thy mother that they days
may be long upon the land which the
Lord thy God giveth to thee"
In conclusion / wish to say a few
words to tim seniors. You have COM
pleted your course successfully and have
honored your stay here. You have been
blessed with teachers who not only guild
ed your studies but instructed you in
principles Of morality. Your successes
