On this there was a bed of white blossoms and ferns, on which rested the open Bible, and on the Bible was laid a wreath of maidenhalr and white roses, sixteen in number, each representing one of the sixteen members of the order called to the golden shore, buds representing the unmarried mem bers and open blossoms the married ones. To the right of this was the beautiful silk American flag of Estrella Parlor droop- ing in graceful folds and surmounted with the insignia of mourning.

Help us bear with patience the great sacrifice and give us the light that we may see that thou of the prayer were an inovatioy for peace over this great land.

BAcCALAUREATE ADDRESS.
Rev. H. c. Minton, D.D., on ''The Claims of Religion Upon Edu-
 cated Thoughtn

BERKELEY, May 15.-Rev. H. c. Min ton, D.D., delivered the baccalaureate address to the graduating class of the University of California this afternoon in the First Presbyterian Church of Berke- ley. Dr. Minton spoke on "The Claims of Religion Upon Educated Thought. ' He said, in part:
 something, they are to believe something, they are to do something. They must possess their attainments, must be intenectual, ra- tional and moral. Religion has to do vitally and phenomena of religion are too ubiquitous to be ignored. Religion has, furthermore, claim upon educated intellect because it Is without question tremendous social factor in the world to-day. And lastly, religion is entitled to your intellectual regard not only because it is such persistent historical phe- nomenon not only because 1t Is such per vasive social influence, but also because 1t Is such tremendously influential moral force among men.
 The members of the graduating class attended the address in a body, for the first time In the history of the university, the custom, although common one in the East, never before having been ob- served at Berkeley. Music was furnished by the University Glee Club.
