A FINE CHARACTER.
seniors at Orono Told II Is the Greatest
Possible Human Achievement.

Orono, June 1.-THE baccslaureate ser.
mon before the graduating class of Orono
university was delivered by Rev. s.
Curtis Beach Of Bangor at the Methodist
this evening. The subject was "Man.
hood. /" and tine text was from Acts XXI,
80.
In the course of the sermon, Mr. Beach
said:
MANY things are more priced, m ore
sought after, more honored. but the high
est attainment is fins human char acter,
whether in man or woman In the per-
lection of human character there is no
sex. In the presence OF the moral ideal,
there is neither male nor female as the
apostle said long ago. Considered
simply as the latest link In the chain of
developments or as higher form of one
organized life. q finer species of animal
than before. man would have been worthy
OF nature, but not as her final act. The
moral life was In natures plan, and she
had made man to be her instrument.
Since the arrival OF man, nature, always
the servant of a higher power. has been
lifting his fine organism with soul. No
physical change has occurred in the d.
rection of higher animal, and none any
where so noticeable as 1.-The slow .modtfioa-
ton Of the human brain to ut for its
new tasks. In the light of the most re-
cent knowledge. we can say with the
apostle: The earnest expectation OF the
creature waiteth for the manifestation Of
the sons OF God
"The progress of humanity has been
rapid since Isaiah wrote his prophecies
and Plato taught philosophy TO speak a
divine language. Let us hope that the
next lift OF humanity will be conti-
mental movement upon which we shall
ali share. God works upon long lines
and thu lines upon which humanity will
advance were long since laid down. One
OF the oil distinctions OF manhood is the
mastery Of ones self The critical mo-
ment in the life of the young man In the
parable was when be came to himself.
"To find ones self he must be honest
with himself, This process involves in
tegrity. Virtue and excellence are almost
synonymous Of manhood; but virtue Is
mere quality until
by force and energy it is made power.
Manhood calls for power. The indus
trious life is a strenuous life;, the intel
lectual may be; the moral must be.
Finally, manhood requires courage and
courage faith.
Without faith 1t is impossible to please
God or to serve man. These are old ele-
ments of manhood, not superceded in
our generation but accumulated and en-
phasized by its urgent needs.

London. Nov. 1s.-The absence OF
news of any serious movement against
Ladysmith seems to show that the
Beers are repeating the strategy adopt
ed by them at Dundee, when they ap-
peared in front and endeavored to eff
feet surrounding movement. This
seems to be their object regarding Est
court, and since it is impossible that
relief should reach there for some days
TO come It is not unlikely that fur
ther retiring movement on Mooi river
will be made.
Major e-Murray has returned to
Pietermaritzburg to take command of
the line of communications, and Colo
mel Long, of the Royal artillery, has
taken command at Estcourt. The
forces now at Pietermaritzburg are too
weak to attempt to reopen communica-
tions. Artillery and cavalry especially
are badly needed ard 1t necessarily
will take a very long time to obtain
either, owing to the difficulty of en-
the horses to rest after the long sea
voyage.
Lourenzo Marques continues to send
Joubert stories, the latest being that
no news has been received from him
at Pretoria for three days and that it
