GRADUATES ATTENDED IN 4 BODY.

Bishop Coleman breaches the Baoca-
laureate Sermon on "reaoh Me Good
Judgment and KnowIedge"
Bishop Coleman preached the bacca.
laureate sermon before the graduating
CLASS Of the Central High School in st..
Simeon's Protestant Episcopal Church,
Ninth street and Lshigh avenue, Phila-
delphia, last night. The members OF
the class numbering over 200 attended
service in body. Seats had been re-
served for them Immediately in front OF
the chancel.
The rector, Rev. Edgar G. Cops in ex
tending hearty welcome to the mem
bsrs OF the graduating class said the
occasion marked a departure In the his
tory Of the High School, as It was the
6rst occasion of a baccalaureate sermon
being preached before graduating class
OF the school in a church In the north
eastern section of the city.
Bishop Coleman preached from the
text: Teach me good Judgment and
knowledge" The bishop Ia his intro
ductory remarks dlsapproved OF those
who would exclude Christian teaching
from the public schools and called the
attention Of the graduates to King
David. who while In the enjoyment OF
fame and power not only recognized the
claims of religion himself, but also
brough them to the notice Of others. He
said thnt culture does not and cannot
supply the higher needs Of mans being.
The ancient creeds failed TO meet the
needs OF aus spiritual nature which
required that srmething which was
lasting and which first saw the light 10
Judea
In these most vital things Bishop
Coleman faid 1t WAS impossible for man
20 educate himself without a divine
revelation. In education what was
known as doPmatic teaching had its
place, Il WAS Of the highest Importance
to the welfare Of the young student that
he be able to say what 1t was that he
believed in as we'll as what he did MOI
believe All teachings must end In
practical failure that does not recognize
the supremacy OF Him who declared
II am the way, the truth and the life
Addressing the olass the bishop said
Your presence here this evening testi-
ies that in your conscience you recogniz,
the intimacy that exists between tru,
religion aud true learning. While
under our Constitution it is impossible,
for any particular form OF religion to b,
established, christianity is recognized By
our common law as the religion Of THU
land This fact Is also recognized in tn,
constitution Of our great schools snt
colleges. and 1t Is interesting to know
chat 1t has been handed down to us II

tional Institutions
