BACCALAuREArE SERMON.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
On Sunday evening, July %, the
commencement week for the school
year Of 19Ol-'02 began. On that even
ing, Rev. w. A. Cave, of the M. E.
church, of this city, delivered the bac-
calaureate sermon. Rev. Caves rep
utation as thorough and logical
lecturer and preacher is of more than
local extent. The college chapel was
filed to its utmost capacity and many
people were unable to obtain seats and
were forced to go home disappointed.
The music for the occasion was fur
nished by the best talent Of the col
lege and the ciUy.
Rev. Cave dwelt at length on the
factors which operate to make the
career of the college graduate sue
cess or a failure. Many persons, after
having completed their college work,
are prone to disregard what some call
the minor callings In this world and
aim, without sufficient preparation, at
some vocation which they are unfit
to fill.
The person who conscientiously and
to his utmost ability performs his
allotted calling, however lowly it may
appear, is fully entitled to be placed by
the side of the person who, by his
.statesmancraft or other much sought
attachments, has gained national or
or even world wide reputation.
Ceaseless worry is an all consuming
factor which in many instances delay
mans progress. When person allows
himself to be overtaken by worry he
nourishes worm in his own breast
which impedes his progress.
Rev. Caves entire sermon was brim-
full Of common sense advice which
every member of the graduating class
should take to heart. This sermon
was by many considered the best one
that has for long time been delivered
to graduating class of the s. d. A. G..

iastic audience who frequently ap
