The Address Before the Alumni Delivered
by Mr.. B. iii. Palmer.
At Stokes hall last evening was held
the re union of the alumni. The house
was we'll filled and in the audience were
many alumni of Trinity college. These
enioyed the re union to its fullest extent:
The officers of the alumni associate n
were seated on the stage.
Mr. b. II Palmer, of Lake City, Flor
lila, the orator of the evening, was in
troduced by Rev, l. S Massey.
Mr. Palmer said:
Stimulated by the pleasure aud honor
of your kind invitation to address you
on this occasion, up to the point of ac-
ceptaton-and being in the midst of i'm.
portant and unusually crowding duties,
and having but short notice, | found my
self without freedom to divert to a spe-
cial theme beyond the one thing-that
most familiar to my thought and most
inseparable with the duties of my life,
uation of Leaders, and Where TO Grow
Them
But, before | enter upon my chosen
theme, must beg the kind indulgence of
that part of my audience, who are not
classed among the alumni of this college,
for Distressing for a short time from my
subject and indulgiDg in a few reminis-
cenCes that come CrOWding upon me al
this time.

1t is true the pen is mightier than the

the press abolished slavery throughout

The writings of e. B. Stowe and others
overthrow slavery in the South. There
is scarcely a social evil than the press

tap root of all iniquity; gambling, wrongs
OF the ballot box, corrupt jury, hypo-
critics in religion, the whole catalogue of
iniquity, might, by fearless press, be
turned to truth and righteousness.
On the other hand it can do nntold
harm, foster crime and sell itself o do
evil, till the community in which it ex-
lists is brought to judgment, and lade TO
suffer. A press without a conscience, is
a tremendous power for evil.

give reason for the faith that is in him.
Have faith and you will be able to
confront the future There is no high
achievement without a firm belief; no
depth of character unless back of it is
the solid foundation of faith in God.
BY belief | do not mean church creed,
but great fundamental conviction. Hav.
ing settled this, you must haye the manli.
ness to stand by them, if necessary,
against the world.
The men who stood by their cOnvic-
tions against everything opposing are the
men the world applauds.
The grandest thing in the world is
mind welded to an idea for which it is
willing to die
1t is as easy to be hero as it is to be
slave. You will need moral courage
not the courage of a bully, who is always
putting his hand on his hip pocket when
in the presence of suspected danger
What wonders it hath wrought, what
trophies it hath won! Courage in war is
grand it is grand to see men approach,
with measured tread the belching can.
non, or the glittering steel; but this
courage is largely begotten by the excite
ment of the occasion.
There is grander courage than this
the courage to do right and die. 1t
takes higher courage to defy public
opinion than a bayonet; to meet frown
than to face cannon.
Many people are towards. They are
| polite, reticent and prudent. This is a
cloak for cowardice.
| The great need of the world is men.
1suppose some Of you young gentlemen
may become ministers of the gospel
There is no place where manhood is
more needed We do not want eccle-
siastical bulles. God save US from
scoWls in the pulpit, The true minister
is gentle, courageous, refined and bold
he will add the fervor of an apostle to
the humility of saint The ministry
needs men of courage as high as heaven
and as deep as hell, who cannot be in
t1uenced by money and worldly church
members If there is one man on earth
who ought to be bold as a lion, it is a
Christian minister He is an amhassa-
dor Of the skies, sent to negotiate peace
between God and man. He may not
alter one jot or little of the message-it
means life or death.
The fearless pulpit is omnipotent, it
carries all before il, cares not for public
opinion.
Why is it that the pulpit does not eX.
terminate social and other evils One
reason is, We preachers do not live up to
what We profess to believe. Afraid to
antagonize the money power in the
church; afraid to rest on Gods promise
and defy earth and hell to shake our
grasp. If you are going to be minister
| beseeCh you, in the name of God, quit
yourselves like men.
Some of you may be anticipating en-
tering the field of journalism.
Next to the pulpit the press is the most
some respects, it is more powerful for
good than the pulpit.

Trinity church was yesterday filled
with as large an audience as has been in
its shelter. The occasion was the preach
ing Of the baccaulsureate sermon before
the graduating class of Trinity college
by Rev. DR. Samuel A. Steel
The first lesson from Ephesians, G:10-
~, was read by Rev F. d. Swindell. DR..
Steel took his text from | Corinthians,
1913, "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith,
quit you like men, be strong"
He began his discourse by saying that
it would be difficult to put more sound
advice in as few words as these. There
are two reasons for watching first, the
careless soul is in danger of
being entrapped by satan, and
second, that we may seize on lfe's op-
portunities. They do not come but once.
If we do not watch, some opportunity
will pass by unnoticed.
The popular saying that it makes no
difference what man believes, so that
he is honest in his belief, is a mistake. 1t
is an cffeminate conclusion reached by
those who shrink from work, those
who do not care to take the pains to toll

Sincerity does not alter falsehOOd.
However sincere a soul may be, it can
not escape the ruin of those who pursue
the wrong.
You are never safe until your feet are
resting on the rock of truth,
The Roman inquisitors were honest
when they put christians on the rack of
torture.
John Calvin was sincere when he
burned men at the stake for differing
from him in opinion.
The Puritans were honest when they

their opinions. Indeed every supersti
ton and error that has cursed the world
can plead the sanction of sincerity The

the mind is what darkness is to the eye
what poison is TO the stomach.
Reputation is what people think w

thinketh in his heart, SO is he, is true
what is in the mind is in the character.
AS blood to the body, so is thought Il

acter; loose belief means loose character
and heroic belief means heroic character
A young man may think there is IL
wrong in a glass Of wine, but in taking
his first glass OF wine he starts on III,

All criminals reach the end through

NEW DYES FOR COTTON.
Beautiful and Brilliant coIors That
Do Not Fade.
Scientific Discoveries That Tighten Labor-A
Weaver's Experience in Dyeing-Car-
pets Where the Color Stays as
Bright as When New.

Within the last few years science has
been at work in the matter of dveing. and
the results are the fast diamond dyes for
cotton-turkey-red, ping. purple, orange,
olive-green, brown, etc. These dyes make
colOrs so fast that even washing in strong
soapsuds will NOT START them. Ii woman
is sure to get the fast diamond dyes for
cotton when she wants to dye cotton she
will be able to dye absolutely fast, non
fading colors that will stay until the goods
are worn out.
A practical dyer, writing in the Weavers'
Herald. says: II used to dye with roots
and barks, but after all my work land it
was tedious job was not satisfied, for
the colors were homely and often faded.
At last commenced to use diamond dyes,
and the process is so simple and easy that
the work is a pleasure. | have used car
pets made of rags dyed with diamond dyes
three years, and the colors are still as
bright as when new"
Many of the diamond dye fast cotton
colors are so superior to other dyestuffs
that they are used by Overs everywhere,
even in the big mills and the large dye
houses. Imltators of these reliable dyes
may claim that their cotton dyes are ''iust
as good" but practical tests prove the dia-
mond is the only kind that makes colors
which soap will not wash out or sunlight
fade.
The diamond dyes come In nearly fifty
different colors. for silk, wool and cotton,
and will dye anything, from pair of
stockings to dress or cloak,

Miss Willard Thinks That the Next
Meeting Will Be field
in Baltimore.

CLEVELAND. Nov. 21.-At to-day's ses-
sion of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union, the executive committees re-
port recommending the adoption of the
temple committee report and bylaws pro-
viding that State unions shall not be
bound by the policy or laws of the national
except in regard to total abstinence and
constitutional rulings was adopted. The
report referred to the fnancial stringency,
which hurt the temple. Iu spite of this.
however, interest on the temple trust
bonds had been paid. and the floating de BIT
of $4,000 will probably be reduced to
$25, 900 by January /, 1896
The report of the committee on resolu-
lions was presented. II touches upon
young peoples Sabbath observation, the
w. T. P. A., equality of citizenship, equa :
ity in morals. amusements, alcoholic cures,
press, strikes. work among colOred people,
labor questions and prohibition.
Mrs. Hunt of Massachusetts introduced
a resolution advocating instruction in the
public schools in regard TO the physical eff
fects of intemperance.
The first announcement Of many which
were made before adjournment was to the
effect that Kansas City had invited the
con vention to meet there in 1895. The
convention then adjourned for luuch.
In the afternoon tie report on resoIu-
tions was again taken up and new resolu-
tons were added. A long discussion of
boys brigades, and a somewhat heated
one, was started by resolution protest
ing against putting arms in the hands of
boys. Other resolutions were adopted,
one deploring the Armenian massacre and
advocating international protection and
deDouncing the increase of military edu-
cation in public schools, colleges and uni
versities. One which raised much contro-
versy thanked the Populists for the suffrage
plank in the platform In Kansas; the Re-
publicans for The same thing in Colorado
and the Democrats of the South for bring
ing large area under local option laws.
An amendment was adopted providing
that biennial sessions should be held when
it was deemed advisable.
The close of the convention was quite
impressive. Miss Willard spoke briefly,
thanking the delegates for their kindness
to her, and telling them how strong and
well she felt. God Be With You Till We
Meet Again" and the doxology was sung,
and Miss Carrie Smith pronounced the
ben edicti0n. Immediately after adjourn
ment Miss Willard was asked in what
city the next convention would be held.
She said: sit is not decided, but between
you aud me it looks like Baltimore"
