nal School, was opened on Sunday |
afternoon IN the auditorium with the |
baccalaureate sermon delivered by |
Rev. DIR. Hazlam, pastor of the First |
Baptist Church, Williamsport. His
subject was "A Supreme Function of
Character" and he took for his text
the second verse of the thirty-second |
chapter of Isaiah, ga man shall be as
the shadow OF great rock in weary
land" 1t was mastery effort. The
speaker by his delivery, outward look
and gesture, appeared to be SO ami
mated by the truths he uttered, that
he animated his hearers. He was en-
tirely possessed by the feelings he
wished to inspire. His remarks to
the graduating class were most i'm
presslve, and full of practical illustra-
tions. The auditorium was well filled
with the graduates, students, teachers
and friends, and all regard the dis
course as one of the most able ever
delivered at the school.
