SERMON TO GRADUATES.



tory to Mrs. Prunk's students.
Rev. Lewis Brown, of st. Pauls Episco-
pal Church, preached the baccalaureate
sermon to the graduating class of Mrs.
Prunk's school of dramatic art last night.
His subject was "Oratory as Force in the
State" He said in part:
mo people are more noted for oratory of
one kind or another than the American
Nation. From the moment that the ordi-
nary American begins to breathe he begins
to take on himself the air of a public
speaker He learns to enthral his audi
ence from day TO day, and when years of
discretion are reached he is no mean pub
lie speaker.
THE. vocation of oratory represents the
zenith of power; a school which has for its
aim the cultivation of such instincts can
not be too highly rated. To address and
persuade men to achieve the noblest in
them is work akin to the angelic. One kind
force - Another fairly sets our teeth on
edge in repulsion. To dignity the one and
TO discourage the other is a duty of the
hour and second TO none.
THE elements Of inculcation may be re-
duced to a few. First, there is the exceed
ingly pertinent injunction, BE yourself.
Do not copy any man who has attained.
God called us individually into being. With
that call came attending circumstances to
make IL suggestive. The universal genius
cannot succeed in ora tory; specalism is at
its best here; strive to find your individual
voice and then speak from that alone.
"A second injunction is this Suppress
yourself. Forget yourself in the MESA ge
given you TO deliver. Be literally a voice
speaking from the highest plane of sug-
gestion. Labor for a divine end. Every
thing can be from God, provided the heart
is sincere"

BRIGHT SIDE OF SLUMS
THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS CENTERS

new view OF slum life was presented
last evening by the Rev. Worth NJ. Tippy.
of the Broadway Nj. Z. Church, in his ster-
eopticon sermon on 1.-THE Bright Side of the
City" He showed sixty-five pictures of
New York taken from photographs made
by T. E. Hibben. They included scenes
from the Jewish quarter, east New York
tenement houses. child life, the water front
and other phases of life in the busy metrop-
oils. He said in part: "A great many peo-
pie have the erroneous opinion that the
slums of a city are the centers of vice,
where the gambler, the harlot, the CRATER
and the vicious element generally congre-
gate. The truth is that, while there is evil
enough in the slums just as there is on the
boulevards, the slum is not the center of
vice, but the residence quarter of the work.
ing people, particularly of those on very
small incomes. The slum is a product of
the industrial society of factory districts,
with the necessary crowding and other un-
pleasant conditions.
dark cloud without a silver lining. The
cloud is dark enough. God knows, but it is
shot through with light. 1t is full of grow
voices, of courtships and marriages and of
every human interest. If goes slum-
ming these do not always appear. for the
eye of the visitor watches for signs of dis
tress and vice, for dark attics, foul alleys,
dirty streets, saloons. gambling places and
concert halls. Society, however, can never
get wholly bad or even mainly bad.
A HOLIDAY SCENE.
'I was starting out from New York one
4th of July evening a few years ago and
as the boat was going up the East river
out into the sound 1 saw the city out for
a holiday. Steamers were coming from dis
tant excursion points crowded with hap
py people, and the sound of music and
dancing came across the waters. Yachts
and smaller sailing crafts swept hither
and thither. The piers and bathing houses
were crowded with people enjoying the
animated scenes of the water 'front.' or
sporting in the water BOYS were swim
small park with band playing came
into view.
1.-The shipping CT the world also lined
the wharves. The flags of all nations float
ed at mastheads and one felt how much
of real life after all is in the city of New
York-what a place Ii is for boys and girls
and men and women. The sights and
sounds of the great city are always near
the dwellers of the slums. They see more
if they choose, than people who live up
town. These things suggested to me tina,
the SlumS of New York have bright side
and likewise the slums of every city.
have tried tonight with these pictures to
bring out some of the more hopeful fea-
lures of the life of the poor in New York. "
In conclusion Mr.. Tippy said: THE pres
ent century will see universal move
ment toward a Transformation of the
slum, and toward making the homes OF
the people what they should be, bright
and women to live In and for children tc

for men only. 1t was continuation of last
Sundays subject of THE Man and the
Tiger" The male chorus OF the Trinity
Church sang several songs.
Mr. Lyon spoke to the men on the sowing
and reaping of an evil life. He said it was
simply a case Of cause and effect, and the
effect is infinitely greater than the cause,
as the reaping is larger than the sowing.
The speaker said this would be true even IL
there were no Bible. for the reaping con-
tinues throughout following generations.
He referred TO the downfall of ancient ma
tions from the same vice that has caused
the decay of individuals, and said 1t was
also true of cities. He affirmed that the
