CLOSING EXERCISES.
Columbia Institute.

Columbia Institute.
Bishop Thomas F. Gailor presente
the diplomas and delivered the annual
address to the graduating class of the
Institute at St Peter church Monday
night. He took as text for his dis
course passage from Paul's first epis-
tie to the Corinthians-''The other
foundation can no man lay than that
is laid, which is Jesus Christ. He
said that education meant far more
than examining the mind with names,
dates and figuers it meant prep
aration for the battles of life-the
training of the soul, as well as the
mind, to look to higher ideals and a
loftier plane of living. No other kind
of an education except a Christian ed
ucation will stand the test. Christ is
the only foundation, and the whole pur
pose of our education, the good toward
which we are striving. the consumma-
ton of our hopes and efforts, ia
closer relationship with God. To the
young ladies who were entering upon
the duties of life and building char
acter, he said that he could offer no
better advice than the words of the
Apostle Paul as spoken in his text
The music during the service was
greatly enjoyed, the special numbers
being solo by Mrs. G. A. Forgey,
who sweetly sang, "Jesus Lover of
