In the case of Jesus that spring time
conservation opened to Him attitudes
and ATTITUDES in the future most mark
ed, beautiful and promising. Jesus in
the temple, impressed with the import
ance and dignity of his hfe-work. and
Jesus being finally indicted into his
priestly office by the rite of Christian
baptism, must and ever viii remain the
most characteristic historic scene which
has been left as the heritage of the
young heart for all times. Whatever else
Jesus was, he stands here as the typical
young man, an inspiration, an uplift, to
budding manhood and wOmanhOOd all

1.-THE grandest sight I ever witnessed
was at a great convention when I look
ed into the faces of 5000 consecrated
young men and WOmen-consecrate to
Christian Endeavor-but it mattered
not to what church or society, the fact
is they were cOnsecrated; and that
meant power. 1t is indeed grand to be
young, and that young man or woman
who permits the precious period of his
life. from the age of u to 25 to slip by
without making it the forma tive period
of a noble life of usefulness and power.

Speaking Of Postum Food Coffee. a
lady in Toledo. Ohio says: For over
five years now have used Postum
Coffee entirely in place Of the ordinary
coffee or tea.
I used to have stomach trouble and
every time drank a cup of ordinary
coffee suffered the greatest distress. My
troubles left when left of coffee and
began using Postum.
The most severe test I know Of was
when my husband was down with gas
trio typhoid fever. His stomach would
retain nothing: we tried milk and vari-
Gus other drinks. Everything we put
into his stomach would come up in less
than three minutes. After the third day
of this kind Of work I concluded to
give him some Postum Coffee. He
drank It and relished it and retained it,
and for four weeks he lived on Postum
and nothing else to speak Of You can
depend upon It that Postum gained
some good friends, for husband would
have died had it not been for the nour-
ishment afforded by Postum Coffee. =

TO The GRADUATE.
Rev. III. A. OFT breaches High
School BaccaIaureate Sermon.
Services We're Held at First
Lutheran Church.
AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE.
A Song Service Preceded the
PASTORS Sermon.
Industry Pointed Out as the
High Road to Success.
AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE.

AZ the Sunday morning service at
the First Lutheran church, Rev. Mr.. H
a. OFT the pastor of the church, de-
livered the baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating class of SO members of the
Topeka high school, of which class one
member was his own daughter.
The central section Of peWs of
the church were reserve for members
of the class The church was crowded to
the doors with the friends and relatives
of the young people who are now leaV-
ing the high school
The services were simple and beauti-
full A song service lasting for IS min
utes preceded the deliverance OF the
sermon The song service included
solos, duets and songs by the choir and
the audience.
Rev. Mr.. OFT chose for his text the
words of Jesus Christ found in the sec
Ond chapter Of the book OF Luke. The
dOrtieth verse says: twist We not that
I must be about my Fathers business ?"
Our text leads us right into a noble
heart" said Rev. Mr.. OFT in opening his
sermon "A noble heart opening into
a lofty consciousness of a great life
work to be consummated.
1T is a vivid illustration" he cOntin-
ued, of what the future win require,
and a genuine willingness to assume
the responsibilities of the same. I have
often felt profoundly grateful for this
striking scene in the early life of Jesus.
IT illustrates the noble principle which
y
properly raised child. when that child
arrives at an age when feelings Of
moral and flial responsibility begin to
crowd in upon the consciousness. From
the age OF twelve to the age Of thirty.
Jesus was schooling for his momentous
later life of intense activity. When that
trying period came it found Him pre-
pared for it in every way. I am glad
that at even SO youthful an age Jesus
said, DO you not know I must be
about my Fathers business? Later,
at the age of thirty, at His baptism He
bowed His head, and received His COM
mission and power to enter that very
field the intimation Of which He had
at a tender age.
Thus began that life which has been
the wonder Of the world; and which has
changed the destinies OF nations, altered
the geographical limitations of conti~
nente, and which has been an all power
full factor in ministering to the happi-
ness and welfare Of mankind. It is truly
inspiring when one sees how Jesus at
a youthful age not only seems to have
had an early intimation of this marvel
gus work, but who really and sincerely
believed IN it.
