With her mother in Detroit formerly

to visiting the poor and sick. Ono

one summer becn on Il pirate vessel

went on to say that he had then helped
to overhaul north bound cousting

On the vessel was beautiful young

her from hor cabin, in which was hang

the pirates were engaged in throwing

beautiful young lady paced the deck
with magnificent courage and dignity,
her hands folded on her breast and her
eyes raised to heaven. She made no re-
monstrancc whatever, and he steadicd
the plank upon which she walked to
the vessels side, thence to be plunged

the vessel, having set it under full sail,
to drift to its doom with the picture

BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLES UNION.

more-Gratitying Achievements OF
the Organization.

The Fifth Annual Convention in Bnlti-
more Gratifying Achievements OF
the Organization.
The international convention OF the
Baptist Young Peoples Union Of
America was held in Baltimore last
week. The attendance was very large
from all parts of tho United States
and Canada, and the reception COM
mittees were. kept busy in meeting
delegates at the depots and wharves.
The report Of the board of managers
read at the opening session says:
The spirit of the annual reports for
the past three conventions has been
"Progress." This report brings the
same cheering sentiment as its key
note. No enterprise ever launched by
the Baptists has seen such q pheno-
menal development. There were nine
organized States represented at our
first historic convention at Chicago.
There are thirty-0ne States organized
to-day, anu VIC have with us representa-
tives of the two unions OF Canada, that
of the maritime provinces and that OF

OF the young people was u matter
under discussion. To-day the denomi-
nation Ia practically unit in favor of
both the local organization of the
young people and tho fraternal union
of their organization for the study
and emphasis of this particular order
Of church work.
A great achievement i'm our denomi-
national history was won when, in
1891, this Baptist Young Peoples
Union of America was organized. Tho
last year has been emphatically the
best Of the four which the union has
seen. Enthusiasm for tho movement
was greatly kindled by the Toronto
convention. The whole year has re-
corded the new impetus given to tho
growth Of confidence in the working
of the young peoples society as a
local method. Quiet, steady work by
thousands of our Baptist young people
in their several societies is satisfying
all thoughtful people of the working
value OF those societies.
Progress has been made in the
spirit OF federation. Our Canadian and
Southern brethren were introduced to
each other last year ut Toronto. This
year North and South, East and West
have come together in notable ways
for Baptist fellowship and Corpora
tion. The Fortress Monroe conference
concerning home mission interests in
the South was "a patch Of new sky"
The conference on young peoples or
ganization in the South, which met at
Washington, May 9th, was characteriz-
ed by generous words of appreciation
for the B. Y. =. U. A.
1t is quite certain that this great
home gathering Of our American
Baptist Young People to sing, to pray
and to confer together Of our common
faith and work was mover more widely
approved than at this time. When
we consider that nearly one-third Of
American evangelical ChristenIom
are Baptists, it is surely grand and
worthy order that we have once year
on such q gathering
While cherishing tho kindest of
sentiments towards the comprehensive
n.ovement of the Christian Endcnvor
IN It's efforts to include all denomina-
tlons In .',ch meeting, we may never
theless believe that the proper develop.
ment of our Baptist millions i'm
perattvely demands these conventions
of more denominaCional sentiment and
purpose. In holding such meetings,
we believe that we are planning most
intelligently for the future Of the cause
of Christ as its destincs lie, within our
responsibility. y

WHY CALLED COMMENcEMEN,r =

WHY CALLED commandments ~
June is commencement month with all
the colleges and high schools in South
Carolina. No doubt some have won
dcrcd and asked why the closing of
colleges and schools Is called the com
mcncemcnt, when in fact it Is the
ending.
The term commencement does not
apply, or did not in the beginning,
to tne college or school, but to tho
graduates. 1t did not refer to the
closing exercise Of the college, but to
the commencing OF the graduates upon
his new dogrce.
The Century Dictionary thus defines
Commencement in It's secondary
| mcuning:
In The University Of Cambridge,
England, the day when the master of
arts, doctors and bachelors receive
thcir degrees SO called from the fact
that the candidate commenced to
MASTER doctor, licentiate, etc, on that
day. In American colleges, the annual
ceremonies with which the members
of the graduating class are made
bachelors (of arts, sciences, engineer
ing, etc., and the degree of master of
arts, and various honorary degrees are
conferred. The term is also applied
by extension to the graduating ex-
crciscs OF academies and schools Of
lower grade"
1t will be seen from this, as stated
above, that the commencement re-
ferred not to the school but to the
graduate. Those who took degrees
were called cOmmencers, and grad
ualy tho day on which the degrees
were taken came to be known as com
mcncement day, and after u while it
was applied to the closing exercises of
the lower schools also.
In the "RccOrds Of the Corporation
OF Harvard College," 1893, occurs the
following: The corporation having
been informed that the custom for the
commonccrs to have plum cake Is dis
honorable to the college and charge
ablc'to the commencers, do therefore
put an end to the CUSTOM" And in
Picrco's History Of Harvard Unive,.
sity, 1T is stated 1.-The corporation
with the tutors shall visit the cham
bers OF the cOnmencers to see that,
this law be we'll observed"
The reason the term commencement,
seems in opposition to the closing ex.
crciscs is because it is thought of with
reference to the school instead OF the
scholar. 1t Is the close of tho school
ycar, but 1t 10 the commencement of
the graduates life in his new field as a
master OF arts, or bachelor OF sciences,
instead Of pupil.
We have thought thnt this explana-
tion OF the term commencement" as
applied tecOlleges and schools would
not be inappropriate just Of this time.
