Iiuus
a number of visitors are in Gin
ton and large crowds have attend
ed the interesting exercises which
have taken place.
The exercises of Commencement
began Sunday with an eloquent
ana appropriate sermon by Rev.
Robert Adams of Laurcns, S, c.
He took as his text part Of hcts
NX;35. "Remembor The words of
the Lord Jesus how he said, 1t is
more blessed to give than to re-
~ceive."
He said that some commentators
thought that the Apostle spoke as
If the verse was familiar to all, as
coming from Christ and that pro-
babIy IL was q favOrite saying of
the Lords.
1t IS certain however that the
principle is emphasized in differ
ent words again and again in all
parts Of the Bible, ana many other
sayings of Christ show how thor
oughiy he believed in il. All his
acts while on earth show how
thoroughly he lived up TO it. uo
came Ia bring salvation TO all, but
those who did not know Of his di-
vine mission could but observe
how his life was given to help his
ielloW-mcD. He loved to satisfy
mons physical needs, to heal the
sick, feed the hungry and restore
sight to tho blind. He lived to
heal diseased minds, and to com.
fort those that mOurned, but he cs-
pecially wished to bring all 20 Il
knOWlego OF the truth and get
them to love and serve God. The
heroes Of tho Bible were those who
had been willing to use their tall
cnts and strength, whether small
or great to glorify God and to do
some good to those around them.
This principle was true in ma
turc. The slagnant pool that kept
all the water brought was ugly
and repulsiVo while the running
stream which carried water every
where was pure and clean. Most
things in nature took in something,
but in return always gave m
thing back. If they took more than
was useful in performing their
functions ~stagnatiOn and death
were almost certain.
He then spoke of the knowledge
acquired by the students which
was good only as used. If i'm
parted ii would do good, but il not,
though ii might give them pleas
Hre, they would fail to get the
most from it. If tho training and
knowledge they had acquired at
college should be used only to at
tain their own ends and with no
thought of clarifying God and
being useful to their fellow-men,
their development must be ramp
ed. Tho person who lives only for
himself would not have the same
interest in life az II who was in
tcresied III the pleasures and sor-
rows and the works and aims Of
his feltow-men, and could thus
share their joys and sorrows.
He said it was a comforting
thing to know that God himself
loved to give all things to those
who sought Alright. What sinners
most needed was pardon. He was
willing TO give that to all, ana
not only that but to enable them
TO conquer their sins snd develop Il
splendid character.
Every ono should come to him
for ,hCsO gifts and then use all
their efforts TO let others know the
truth.
The thought of the sermon was
that W. should seek the whole truth
IN God and do all in our power to
glorify him and help our fellow
NOR by imparting 1t to other.-The
Southern Presbyterian, June 18th.
