BACCALAUREAT SERMON.
The members of the graduating class
of Westbrook High school attended
special service at the Methodist church
yesterday at 3 p. m. when the pastor
Rev. G. +. Parsons delivered them a
baccalaureat sermon. Mr.. Parsons took
for his subject knowledge of God Our
Highest Attainment His text was
from Jeremiah o., %, "a, as follows:
LET not the wise man glory in his
wisdom; let neither the mighty man
glory in his might; let not the rich man
glory in his riches, but let him that
gloryeth, glory in that he Understandable
and knoweth men that l am the Lord. /"
The line of thought of the sermon was
that the highest wisdom brings the great
est power and the purest riches. He urged
that whatever the graduates may seek of
wisdom, power or riches in this world
to seek God and know his will concern
ing their lives. Thus they gain the high
est wisdom, the greatest power and the
truest riches.
