the sermon chorus choir from the
University sang an anthem that was
finely rendered. Rev. MIR. jenkins took
his text from Acts 26-19, centering his
thoughts around the idea of the right
men N the right places and the right
women in the right places doing the
work God would have them do. He
made prominent the idea of a mans
adaptation to the pursuit and then filling
it to the best of his ability. He regret
ted that too many teachers, ministers
and professional men generally allowed
the matter of salary to become too prom
inent in their services to the public
and believed that money should be q
secondary matter in their work. He
believed that when a person found his
place he there could serve God and hu-
manity better. He gave many instances
of men who solved their life work and
were successful by their adaptation to
their calling. 1t was quite frequently
the case that men were mistaken in
adopting line OF work for which they
are totally untitled and in these instan-
ces he advised the use of every faculty
to accomplish the best results. Mr..
Jenkins is strong speaker and pre-.
sented his ideas in very acceptable
manner. The male quartet sang the
closing selection and the benedictior
brought the services to an end.

not for this communion of thought, this
contact of mind and mind. He referred
to several phases where this idea was
brought out, and in the silent library
where one could be alone with their
books and authors whose ideas we're alb
sorbed and opened new lines of
thought. The bible was another ave-
nue. which opened the broad way of in
tellectual freedom

few w"rus ~ the graduating class, ap-
pis ing 10 them the idea expressed in

an interesting one and those who heard
it were much impressed with his we'll

so easy of application to mankind in
general. DR.. Brush is son Of the late

it until few years before his death.

1t Began with the Presidents Reception
and WAS Followed by Other Exerc,ses.
The first exercises of the University
commencement week were held last
Thursday evening, when the Junior
class assumed charge of the annual
social event. The juniors worked quite
a burlesque iu presenting Cotton with a
leather medal, Potter, who is to be-
come physician, with various rene
dies to cure all ills, Miss Blanchard
with a broom and dust pan, Oleso :,
who is to teach school, witt; prImers
and Kindergarten supplies, and Rev.
Mr.. Jolley with a barre full OF SER
mons. Refreshments we're served.
The joint literary meeting did not
come up to the usual standard, as many
on the program failed to put in appear
ance. Usually this has been prom
inent event in the commencement but
this year little interest was taken in it.
SUNDAY afternoon the joint exercises
of the Y. M. G. A. and Y. w. G. A.
were held at the college chapel under
charge of the senior class and were
led by Miss Blanchard. Mr.. Oleson
talked on "What Christianity Means
to the Individual" aud Geo. Potter

THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON

Rev. DR.. Brush, of Ottumwa. Iowa, De-
livered a Fine Practical Sermon.
1t was gratifyingly large audience
which greeted the Rev. DR.. Brush, of
Ottumwa. Iowa, when he delivered the
baccalaureate sermon to the Uaiver-
sity graduating class at the Grand
opera house Sunday morning. The
Baptist, Congregational and Methodist
churches suspended services during the
day to give their members an oppor-
tunity to attend the two meetings at
the opera house. DR.. Graham had
charge of the devotional exercises and
made the announcements of what was
to occur during the week. Some spec.
ial music was arranged for the services
including special numbers by the
Misses Currens, Noble, Corwin and Lee
as ladies quartet and Messes. Hover.
Pehrson, Kratz and Sage as male
quartet both of which were we'll rem
dered.
The subject of-Dr. Brush's discourse
was "The Cultural Power of Human
Intercourse" and his text was taken
I from Proverbs 27-l7: "tron sharpeneth
iron; 30 man sharpeneth the counter
ance of his friend" DR.. Brush's theme
was one of nearly limitless boundaries
in which the contact OF soul with soul
and mind with mind sharpened the in
tellect and sensibilities of mankind
He dwelled largely upon the thought
of the association of people whereby
the influence of one. was exerted upor
the other with the result that each
were stimulated to higher degree o
action, and that the intellect was quick
ened to very marked degree by thi'
contact. A man left alone would de

Mr. j A Barron was at Mr. & &

while there saw something un-
usual. Some time ago, says Mr.
Barron, a SOW belonging 60 Mr.
Ormand had a number of pigs
and died. All the pigs but one
also died. This pig Mr. Orman6
took to the house with the inten-
tion of trying to raise it by hand.
There is a Collie bitch in the yard
with young pups. The pig at

her pups. Mr. Ormand, Mr. Bar :
