In his Ascension day sermon Rev. Mr..
Hubbard spoke upon the Christian religion
and the influence of modern Templarism.
The Templars of old were protectors of the
pilgrims who sought the holy shrine OF
Jerusalem, and defenders of the Sepul-
cher. Modern Templars were also Chris
tan soldiers but they We're not organized
for armed battles. Their duty was the pro-
lection and defense of widows and orphans,
innocent maidens and the helpless poor.
Mr.. Hubbard said the Christian religion
was destined to meet with still more ex-
tended successes, and to do yet greater
good in the world, and Templarism, he
declared, is noble Christian institution.
The services closed with a solo by Miss
Agnes Hubbard, the hymn Am l a Sol
der of the CROSSE" by the congregation,
and benediction by Prelate ]. Russell Yer
brycke. 1t was one of the most successful
Ascension day observances in recent years.

separately.
Prof. Wilbur, in his address, told the
graduates that they were about to enter
upon life of many privileges. The work
of the teacher he said, was a most noble
one, and the aim of person for education
was demand of his nature for perfection
for goodness and the inspiration to- learn
the will of God The life of a teacher, he
said, must be unsefish and filled with devo-
ton.
In speaking to the graduates Dr. Hamlin
said the teachers influenced their pupils
more by what they are than by what they,
know, and that great teachers have shaped
the lives of students, not because of knowl-
edge, butt because of greatness of character
and devotion to duty.
