| follows:
"The meaning of loyalty is allegl-
| ance, fealty and faithfulness.
ITO be loyal is to be trusty, upright,
| honest, reliable, conscientious, strict
and incorruptible. Great nations have
had loyal subjects. Dewey in Manila
was loyal to the flag and to God. In
our city men left their duties in life
and went to the front during the late
war, showing loyalty, to their country,
willing even to sacrifice life itself. So
you, young men, must be loyal to your
country, to God and to yourselves. Be
steadfast in purpse and have purpose
| in life This institution is to make
you strong men, physically and men
tally. You should be loyal to the teach
ings of this institution. which means
| loyalty to the word Of God. Young
men, you have before you great pros
poets and great examples in sa-
cred and profane history. Seek first
guidance of God and then you will not
| be corrupted You have engaged hos
pitality and love of your benefactors
and they have your welfare at heart.
All they ask of you in return is to be
loyal to the institution, SO that its end
may be accomplished.
Live as you see the Master lived.
Ambition to be a Christian means
great deal, all that life holds dear. May
| the Lord guide you and lead you in
| paths of loyalty, truth and upright
ness

Mrs. julius Pollock entertained the
| Island Duplicate Whist Club at her res
| idence on Chapline street last evening
from to II o'clock. In addition to the
club there were a number of guests pre-

and overplayed. To say that the sever
al contests were animated is putting
