n big butcher. There is also very little
money in preventing disease. Let me
record my respect for the profession
which does much TO prevent the very
diseases from the treatment of which it
derives it's living. There is much to
commend the employment Of |physicians
by the year.
DIR. Wayland now took up the second
division of his lecture-exhortation
The physician sometimes forgets the soul
for which the body is only an organ and
an instrument. One who leaves this out,
omits an essential element. The minister
does the same when he leaves the body
out, and breaches for two or three hours.
The physician needs rest; he needs the
Sabbath as a day of mental, moral AMI
physical rest. Also, no less necessary ~
| the annual rest-a vacation at the sea-
shore or on the hillside Livery maj,
ought to strive for full lifetime. Life
| is a trust committed to him. Gladstone
! is a noteworthy eXefhplar, showing the
length of days which comes TO him who
obeys Gods laws The physician
should be the one to aspire to this, be-
cause he knows. And he should know,
because he has seen.

must have carbolic acid or corrosive sub

ease.
| Law is jealous mistress. SO is medl-

time for speculation or politics. The less

what is right and what is wrong and do

than what is pleasant
| Justice Walter Clark then awarded
! the diplomas and conferred the degrees.
Judge Clark said in part:
Solomon asked not for great wealth,
or honors or long life or victories over his
enemies. but he wanted knowledge and
| wisdom. The colored race after the war
made the wise choice of the King of
Israel. that their condition in life might
| be higher and better. No race has made
more material advance in the last
| thirty years 1t ought to he source
of pride to this audience that Shaw
University stands at the head of the in
| stitutions for the races advancement.
Into the professions of law. pharmacy
| and medicine they have sent out men
who have reflected credit on their college
and on the State.
