were Rev. Drs. George Cooper, William E.
Hatcher, j. M. Pitcher OF Petersburg, J..
M. Mercer, r. J. Willingham j. c. Hiden,
w. r. l.. Smith. and III. A. Bagby. DR..
Cooper was master Of exercises.
Promptly at S15 o'clock the entire au-
dience rose and sang America" led by
the College Glee Club. Rev. Mr.. Bagby
offered the invocation and DR.. Hiden read
the Scripture lesson. Hymn No. 800 was
sung and DR.. Mercer led the prayer.
DR.. Cooper here rose and presented the
preacher. He said that the close of the
most successful session In the history Of
the college was at hand, and as the in
stitution was distinctly owned by Chris
tan people and dominated by Christian
influences, 1t was fitting that the exer-
cises of the last days should begin with
sermon. He took pleasure in presenting
the gentleman who was honored on this
occasion. He was an alumnus of the col
lege, and the Alma Mater welcomed him
back with sincere cordiality. After a
very greatly enjoyed voluntary by the
Glee Club, DIR. Ramsey rose to preach.
THE Moral Influence OF the Cross" was
the subject Of the eloquent discourse, and
the text was taken from Zachariah xiii,
10-"They shall look on Him whom they
pierced" From the opening to the close
of the sermon the speaker had the chained
attention of the great assembly. He was
earnest and graceful in his delivery, and
did not let those who listened forget the
beautiful and central thought that the
life Of man is never a success unless the
Cross of Christ Is raised In it. He very
beautifully illustrated the whole teaching
by story of the Eternal City. Now. he
said Of Imperial Rome only the ruins of
the Coliseum and one or two other Of her
great structures remained. Many years
ago the rabble fell upon this splendid old
pile and were tearing 1t down. The Pope
would save 1t, hut at first 1t seemed I'M
possible; then tho bright thought came to
him: 'I'll set up the Cross there and
their unsanctifisd hands will not dare TO
touch it." He did, and the Coliseum was
saved. SO, too, a mans life may be al
most ruined and disintegrating under the
ravishings Of sin, but let the Cross of
Christ be set up in 1t and the decay ceases
and the life is saved.
The sermon was followed with prayer
by DR.. Smith. Another hymn was sung,
and the service came to a close with the
benediction by DR.. Ramsey.
