prison, you wouldn't need a State prison;
there would be no use for a Salvation army
to go into your saloons and Blums there
would be no need of thirty-five Florence

kingdom of God, and his righteousness and
all these things shall be added unto YOU"
over and over again. turning 1t into new
meanings and showing the great necessity
for its acceptaton.
The discourse was the finest which Mr..
Crittenton has yet delivered in Houston
and the audience was wrapt Pin complete
attention throughout. The tears came into
many eyes as the moving words sunk into
trembling hearts. Tales Of ptiful neglg-
ence to accept Christ while there yet re-
manned time. were told with such earnest
ness that conviction rested upon the list
eners and stirred their utmost souls. The
speaker plead with such fervor that his
voice broke with emotion and he cried out
to God for mercy for all the unsaved.
The appeal 70 come now not to endure
the peril OF delay, was greatly stirring.
The city seldom hears so sincere. so per-

There, also were gathered Christian men
and women. who sang with 10y bursting
from their hearts and who told the story
of their salvation 10 tho sin-sick souls

Mr.. Crittcnton's hearers were impressed

dence, and at the close of the program
the graduates were almost buried
under the loads of lovely flowers pre-
scented by proud and admiring friends.
And let it not fail to go on record
that the girls of the class looked
mighty pretty and cool and well
dressed in their simple gowns OF
white swiss and null. 1t is sensible
fashion that we hope will never be
departed from.
The fourteenth annual commence
ment was a great success, and every
body there was proud and happy.

The foregoing is the program that
was carried out on Monday evening
before an audience that filled every
seat that could be crowded into the
opera house, and that was attentive
and delighted from beginning to end.
AS we are able, fortunately, to pre-
sent the essays and orations in full
on other pages of this paper, it would
appear to be superfiuous to make in
dividual comment. In a general way,
however, the most unstinted praise
might be given, for it was well de-
served, as our readers may find by
taking the pains to read our second
and third pages. You will find it
easy reading; but stop and think of
the amount of study aud labor it took
to do the writing! Boys and girls do
not "dash off" such articles as those
off-hand and without effort or
thought. The class of '96 will rank
up well with any of the splendid
classes that have gone out from the
lola High school.
While all of the music with which
the program was enlivened was ex-
cellent, the High School chorus de-
serves special mention. This year,
for the first time in its history, music
has been a required study in the lola
