NSiopcO lnleliectual brain.
Now, young people, while the uni
versity teachers have been developing
your brain, in all probability the moral
teachers, like your Christian father
ana mother and sisters and loved ones
nave been developing your heart. BY
your training and your past religious
lie you know what is right and what
is wrong. On the day when as a young
man James Harper left the home of
ms birth In Newtown, l.. L., his mother
placed her hand upon his bead and
said: Jimmy, you are now about TO
90 into the great, wide world to make
success or failure. Remember. my
boy, You go from a Christian home
and do not disgrace it If you dis
grace this home, remember that on the
great day OF judgment before God |
shall witness against you and tell God
that you were brought up right and
dedicated by our prayers to his serv-
ice, and that you went to destruc-
ton OF your own accord" You know
just as much what you morally ought
to do as James Harper knew what he
morally ought to do.
So on this graduation day OF June
congratulate you young people because
you have had such competent teachers
TO develop your intellect, and | also
congratulate you because you have
had such efficient moral teachers to
develop your heart You were rocked
In Christian cradle. You were start
cd forth with Christian prayers. There
has never been day In all the time
you have been away TO college that
your father at the family altar did not
make morning prayer something like
Ids; God bless and protect and guard
our boy and girl at college. God make
John good man. God make Sarah
good woman" Your mother, kneeling
by his side, would say: amen, amen,

Recent reports show that the inliab

in the United States who has just re
turned from that island states that he

Of those islands. Finding { hat the sery-

loans and this last sum. the court
holds. shall at their face value go to
pay the debt of the bank TO the saw

contribute TO the expenses of the re.
