Commencement at Elizabeth College.

Rev. l.. Il. Probst, D. d., of At
lanta, Ga, preached tho baccalaurate
sermon in St. Marks Lutheran
church.
The chanccl was beautifully
adorned with palms and flowers,
whose fragrance was appropriate to
the season and the occasion.
The subject of DR.. Probst's ad-
dress was "The Secret of Success
ful Life" and he spoke with special
reference to the words, "But seek ye
first the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things
shall be added unto you"
Man has but one life to live, and
it is important that it be a success.
God does not wish us to be satisfied
with what the world calls success.
The Scriptural idea of successful
life is to do what God wishes us to
do, to fulfill our mission in life, and
at the same time attain salvation.
When we enter Gods kingdom it
puts upon us responsibility. We
must quickly learn the lesson of pro-
portionate responsihility-much be-
ing given, much is required.
Inconsistency i'll Gods kingdom is
hurtful. One failure mars the life of
Moses. Sin detracts from the glory
of David. The treachcry of Judas
and the denial of Peter warn the
holiest men to lean on God and to
watch constantly if they would be
faithful unto death.
The congratulation to this class.
First on the attainment of their pres.
ent position as graduates of this
school and second, more important,
that there is definite place in the
purpose of God for you.
This able discourse was marked
by great earncstness and power and
held throughout the undivided at
tention of tho audicncc.-Lutheran

Dr.. Carlisle Talks TO Woford Students.

The commencement exercises of
Wofford College passed off in most
satisfactory manner last week. DR..
James II. Carlislc's talk to the stu
dents and several hundred other peo-
pie Sunday night received very close
attention. His subject was "ITeavely
Visions" suggested by Paul's saying:
"Whcreupon, King Agrippa, I was
not disobcdient to the. Heavenly
vision" With fine force and effect
he followed up this line of thought.
He opened it with a few questions
such as these: Can a man disobcy
the heavenly vision? Can the crea-
turc disobey the Creator? If God
says thou shalt, can you say l will
Can the finite struggle with the in
finite and hope to come off victori-
Gus? If Paul had disobeycd that
heavenly vision how much would he
have lost? What would the world
have lost through his dsobcdience ?
Young people see visions and the
glory OF their lives depends on the
following of the ways pointed out.
Hiinding lights and stunning sounds
are not necessary to visions. ANY
thing that breaks in on the dull.
commonplace life and brings it up to
a higher plane is vision. Every
protest against the low, the grovel-
ling, the dcbascd, is a vision from
above. Visions flash out from every
home whore there is a good mother
anxiously caring for her children.
1t is said of the mother of Phillips
Brooks that she never left home to
attend social function until her
youngest child had no need of her
parental care. Visions are not want.
ing in this day and time. The diff
Guilty is that mems eyes are blinded
so that they do not see them. The
safety of mans life depends on his
obedience to the visions that como to
him. Thoughts, suggestions, warn
lngs and cnconragcmcnts came in
rapid succession.

Senator McLaurln's Course.

Should Senator McLaurin fail in
his campaign for reelection his fail
ure Will be one of the incomprehen-
slble features of modern politics.
South Carolina is State in which
the white man dominates. The in
telligent white sentiment decides
elections there, and Senator MoLau-
rms appeals are addressed to that
class only. His arguments arc un-
answerable, and unless the political
vision of South Cardinals white
population is hopclessly perverted
his course must be heartily approved.
Two classes of questions are to
come before the United States SEN
ate. One is political, the other non
political. At the outset a question
may belong to the former class, onlv
to pass by regular processes into the
latter, Such one was the currency
question, political at first, non-politi-
cal when it was demonstrated that
the gold standard was most promo
tive OF our national interests. Tho
tariff question has for years been
undergoing somewhat similar tran
sltlon. The expediency of war
with Spain was originally political
question; the grant of the emergency
war fund, the appropriations for the
increased army and navy expenses,
the ratification of the Paris treaty
have developed into non-politics:..
Great hurt has been inflicted upon
the country because these non-politi-
cal matters were opposed on partisa an
grounds by the minority in Congress,
and the State which has man in
the Senate with the courage to
refuse to disguise duty in the
mask of partisanship should honor
him.
This is what Senator McI.aurin
did. lie saw his duty as an Ameri-
can and he did it fearlessly. Con-
trasted with his record, that of his
foremost antagonist, Senator Tillman,
is the record of unparalleled dema-
goguery. While Senator McLaurin
was voting to promote the develop
ment Of the South, Senator Tillman
was voting against everything which
the Southerners should hold dear,
simply because it was advocated by
Republicans. There is no compari-
son between these men. McIIaurin
is the friend of South Carolina; Till
man is her enemy. If the State
understands it's interests, it will turn
a deaf ear to Tillman's anti-McLau-
rim pleas and return McLaurin to
the Senate. BY SO doing it will
start the new era of Southern devcl-
opmcnt Alright, and it is no disgrace
to honor man who has the courage
to do right, even if occasionally he
has to vote with the opposition party
to do it.-Baltimorc American.
