BISHOP WALDEN TO STUDENTS.
Eternal Life" Subject of Bacca-
laureate Sermon at Central.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Warreuton, Mo-. June S.-The graduating
exercises of Central Wesleyan College were
begun here this morning with the annual
students love feast. led by the Reverend
c. Heidel; The baccalaureate serman was
preached by Bishop John NJ. Walden, d. d,
Ii. D. OF Cincinnati.
This years graduating class is the largest
in the history OF the institution. This even
ing Bishop Walden delivered Il lecture on
China on the occasion OF the Epworth
League anniversary.
The Bishops text for the baccalauIeate
sermon was selected from the sixth chap
ter of st. John. verses 6T-69. ITO whom
shall We so? Thou hast the words of eternal
life The Bishops theme was Eternal
Life" After referring to the various ussges
of the term word and it's special sig
nifcance in the text he stated that the
Bible nowhere offers any proof of the i'm
mortality OF the soul, but takes 1t for
granted.
1T calls the attention OF men TO the
two conditions Of immortality" he said.
The one. u condition OF eternal life. the
other OF death. The purpose OF revelation
Is to assist men 10 attain the one and to
escape the other. The statement of Gods
words is that eternal life is the gift of God
and being gift Is an initial in the EXPERT
ence OF the individual. God deals y ith US
grace es IN nature
Furthermore, eternal life is conditional
upon repentance and faith. When man. by
an introspection, comes to realize his utter
wants he Is ready by faith to receive this
great gift of God. Having received eternal
life as personal experience the Individual
is prepared to associate himself with 9TH
ers of like experience, and thus is formed
the church. the great conservator Of eter-
nal life in the world.
The church, beginning with righteous
faith and reorBanized by the outpouring
OF the Spirit at PenteCost. is Gods institu-
ton for holding together spiritual forces In
the world.
God is great economist. Not an atom
is wasted in the material world Waste
matter is made to nourish life. The church
is also the great directive force in the
tory which cannot be accounted for in any
other way than by the agencies set in mo-
ton and directed by God
"You, my young friends, are 10 be con-
graduated on entering upon lifes work
so early IN the century. The world has
never seen brighter day than this, and
ally yourselves with thai oonsarvator OK
