Prof. sIocum's Baccalaureate Sermon


Rumors that the opera house was un.
safe because OF settling walls, did not
prevent every available portion OF space
being occupied Sunday evening to listen
to the Baccalaurate sermon by DIR. W. +.
Slocum OF Colorado college, Colorado
Springs. Above the stage was displayed
the class motto: Begun, Not Ended"
Fine portraits OF Washington and Lin.
coin aud n handsome banner with the
legend "R. +. ii. S." were among the
stage decorations. The music was led by
n choir representing the various churches.
Revs. Mayo, Walker and Mills insisted
in the opening services.
The leading thought in DR.. Slocum's
discourse was that the spiritual life
should be made first-irst in time and
first in Importance. Wealth has magnifi.
cent value il the spiritual life dominates.
Wealth at the expense of honesty is too
dearly bought There exists a necessity
for high ideal of life and that ideal can
be had only in Christ, the great teacher.
A graphic description was given of the
speakers race with II fog when yachting
off the coast of Maine last summer. When
beaten in the race and the lighthouse
could no longer be used as n landmark,
the only resource was the compass, by
which the craft was steered through the
gloom TO n safe harbor. Christ is the
compass by which all lives should be
guided, his teachings providing an abso.
lutely safe theory of living. The sermon
was most heartily commended by the
large congregation.
In supplement to this issue we give
portraits Of the graduates, tho teachers
and the school board-a sheet which will
be found interesting for preservation by
all interested in our schools.

A good life is the best way to under
stand wisdom and religion, because
by the experience and relishes Of relig-
ion there is conveyed to them such a
sweetness, to which all wicked men
are strangers. There is in the things
of God, to themswhich practice them,
a deliciousness that makes US love
them, and that love admits US into
Gods cabinet, and strangely clarifies
the understanding by the publication
of the heart. For when our reason is
raised up by the Spirit of Christ, it is
turned Quickly into experience when
our faith relies upon the principles Of
Christ, it is changed into vision, and
so long as it is changed into vision,
and so long as we know God only in
the ways ofman-by contentious learn
ing, by arguing and dispute-we see
nothing but the shadow of him; and
in that shadow we meet with many
dark appearances, little certainty, and
much conjecture. Butwhen we know
him with the eyes of fholiness and the
intuition of gracious experiences, with
quiet spirit and the peace of enjoy
ment, that we shall Shear what we
never heard, and see what our eyes
