ed their hearers in their violin and cor
net duet that they were recalled by an
enthusiastic enchore. Miss Minnie
McNamee played Sounds Off March,"
composed by Prof D. R. Willsen, and
was heartily applauded. The march
is pretty composition anG gives evil
denCe that Mr.. Wilson is not only an
accomplished instructor, but cOmpos-
er as well. The vocal solos by Misses
Anna Parker and Florence Cove were
also appreciated, as was the piano solo
by Miss Marguerite Madden.

Fielder who assisted in the services.
The music by the college choir and
solos by Miss Alice Holt and Ben. F.
McLouth were listened to with salts
faction by the large audience. DR..
McLOuth's sermon was a splendid
effort. He spoke to the graduates, as
a gentle father would have, to child
and it was farewell address full Of
feeling and wholesome instruction.
His last words were Fear not little
flock for it is your fathers good pleas
ure to give you the kingdom"
