AT WILLIAMS COLLEGE.
Rev. Or. Hopkins of Kansas City Delivered
Eloquent Sermon.

Williamstown, June 1S.-The bacca-
laureate sermon before the class of SO
Of Williams college was given in the
Congregational church, today, by Rev.
DR.. Henry Hopkins of Kansas City.
DR.. Hopkins graduated from Williams,
class of '5S. and is a member of the
board of trustees. DR.. Hopkins text
was from Mark, viii:34. He said dur
ing his sermon: AS we front the future,
two facts in religious history stand out:
First disintegration. Philosophy and
theology are chaotic. Other methods
of religious organization and express
sion are being discredited. Organs OF
opinion and sources of authority are
shifting. This is the logic of liberty
and democracy in thought and rellglon'
But disintegration does not mean over
throw; it is the change inherent in the
law of progress; it is evolution in pro-
cess. Second, spiritual life. Religion
as a fundamental fact of life, as ele-
mental in humanity, is in evidence to-
day as never before. Today you stand
upon the threshold Of the goth cen
fury. Believe in the new age, in the
better day. BE hospitable to new
thoughts, to new truths. Be alert to
use scientific methods and quick to util-
ize the best gifts to civilization. be
Goth century men. Believe in liberty.
Trust your fellowman. Accept unre-
servedly the democratic era. Do not
be afraid Of the logic Of Christian love
as applied to the industrial and COM
mercial situation.

AT TUFTS COLLEGE,
President capsn Appears In Annual Ser
mon to Seniors.

President capsn Appears in Annual Ser
mon to Seniors.
Medford, June 1S.-President Elmer
H. Capen of. Tufts college, preached
the annual baccalaureate sermon to
the senior class this afternoon in the
Goddard chapel. His sermon was "The
compulsion Of beneficency, a law In
the higher life" He said in substance.
Everybody would like to be free. The
very idea of restraint is repugnant.
Still, men cannot live without re-
straint. Obligation and some compul-
sion are involved in the very nature of
our existence, as moral and social be-
ings.
The poor man looks to the rich man
for help; the workman demands of the
employer work, and an honest, fair
and living wage. The demand of the
humber man from the higher is not
confined to material favors, and why
should not those nations who have re-
ceived the largest amount of light let
their beam shine for the illumination
Of those that are in darkness.
Our fathers thought we were pecu-
liarly fortunate in our isolated situa-
ton. Now things have changed-civ-
ilization has moved on; new conditions
have arisen and we are forced to meet
them. Shall we hesitate or falter, shall
we not perceive the great principle of
human unity, and that our destiny is
decreed by the law of nations and the
