Daily new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1897-1906, 1899-06-19

erS. LII other words nave learned
to make the most Of themselves.
And now when it is too late he
awakes to the fact that his intel
lectual career has been ruined and
that he is far short Of what he might
have been.
This is one Of the common fads of
the day. To study what is practi-
cal or easy and take short cuts.
And we forgot that in education as
in house building the most speedy
result is not the best result.
The speaker then went on to
show what different kinds of sub
jects ought to form part of an cd
ueation and to answer the objections
Of the practical man who holds that
because SO many men succeed with
out an education that therefore an
education is NECESSARY.
The speaker showed that more
than one half OF the members of
Congress have never seen the inside
of a college But the other half who
nave seen the inside of college,
have been furnished by three per
cent of the population. That is
ninty- seven percent representing
non college men who have been able
to furnish only one half.
aBut that is not the point that |
want to leave with you. It is not
that you can't succeed without a
college education. You can. There
are thousands of men in active life
to day who have thus succeeded
But the chances are that You will
never be anything more than mere
ly professional man. What we want
is not men who lopk upon life
through too narrow Sits and see it
only through the grooves of their
professionalism But men who are
many sided. Who can rise above
the dust and glare OF the beaten
track where the millions. trample
each other. Who can enter into that
upper sphere where truth and duty
hold sway Where all lite is bless
ing and the present moment is al
ways the best.

THE SERMON AT NIGHT.
At night the speaker OF the morn
ing again preached an eloquent SER
mon to the members OF the Y. M. G.
A. The attendance was very large
but not as large as it was in the morn
ing.
S. NJ. Hoff of the Y. M. G. A. pre-
sided over the services. The Choral
Society sang hymn and Rev. Nc
Cutcheon of the Baptist church deliv-
cred the opening prayer. Miss Mary
Hayes rendered a beautiful solo.
Rev. Barnes Of the M. P. Confer
ence read the lesson for the evening
which was the sixth chapter of the
prophecy of Zachariah. The text was
taken from the thirteenth verse,

throne"
The speaker showed that the world
was growing better. That all
changes had been for the best and
that governments and every thing
on earth were approaching the condi-
tion of perfection.
Atheism was not destined to tri
umph, but the worship Of the Most
High. Anarchy was not to become
uppermost but the government was
to be vested in the people. AS the
people got better their governments
would become better

mer. A collection was then taken up
and handsome sum was realized.
DR.. S. Y. Leech of the Methodist
church pronounced the benediction
and the congregation was dismissed.
It's Free And Every Body is invited.
The impression has got abroad that
the closing recital of the School of
Music to be given tonight, is pay
entertainment. This is mistake, no
admission will be charged and every
body is invited. This will be by far
the best recital of che season The
Glee Clubs and the other students of
the School of Music who are to take
part 10 the entertainment have been
practicing tor the occasion for some
time and will give the people some
