ueesed by large, elegant and apprecia-
tive audience While the play itself was
hardly up to the standard that the club
had set for itself, the different parts were
so well acted that the audience was
highly pleased. There were no climaxes,
bot high grade OF humor pervaded the
whole OF the play.
MIR. Speer, iu the character OF Ginger
potts, Mr.. Tops body servant &C
quainted the audience with the state Of
affairs In Mr.. Tops house. Ii seems
that the painter, being new one at the
trade, had 40 confused the letters ), .,
and Z, that Mr.. Tops house couldn't
be told from his neighbours so MIR.
Topp received al the calls 10 answer to
various advertisements.

In spite OF the cOncliatory efforts Of
Miss Lena Rowe, as Mrs. Twiggs, q
quarrel ensues between Mr.. ROsebrO, as
Mr. Twiggs, and NJ. TOpp This ends
by Twiggs being knocked through the
window. Finally matters are adjusted

THE sACcALAUREATE SERMON.

a Splendid Discourse Delivered by
Rev. j. n. Light Of the Methodist
Church-Words Of Sound Advice
Given the Students OF Frederieks-
burg College.
On Sunday night, June 9th, the bacca.
laureate sermon was preached at the
PRESBYTERIAN church by Rev J H. Light,
pastor Of the Methodist church. His
text was from Isaiah 33:i4 II.
TIE theme was The Perpetu-
ity aud Glory Of Christian Char
acter." After an Introduction to the ei.
feet that the theme was too weighty Tor
proper development In 80 limited a time.
Mr. Light mentioned the fact that the
prophecy was made at time when the
lsraelites were threatened with invasion
hy the Syrians The deliyerAnce prom.
ised them caused fear, for II God could 30
punish the powerful Syrians, how about
the weak Israelites. Then the fact that
everything of earth is tested at every
step. nothing abiding 10 life except the
worthiest Even the greatest men, from
the worlds point Of view, are soon for.
gotten. This il matter OF humiliation.
and yet there IL consolation in the fact
that we will not be alone In this Is
there anything that survives? Mr.
Lights answer was that Christian char.
acter is the only thing.
Therefore he urged this upon the young
ladies and gentlemen Of the graduating
class. He claimed that the prophet was
explicit in showing this Manhood IL
seen in the individual. MIR. Light then
urged that every man adinst himself TO
right relations to God, using the story
of Jacob as an illustration. Then that
he adjust himself To right relations with
the world about him. Then that he ad.
iust himself to right relation with him.
self-that he shut up every avenue by
which the sinIulness OF the world can ai.
feet him A man who does this OF only
endures, but endures with triumph. This
WAS illustrated by the story Of the three
Hebrew children east into the furnace.
The prophet invites us TO life that LITE
man-to high and secure life. He guar
aatees that every real demand OF nature
will be supplied to such man-that he
will have the best associati0ns-and o.
nally that "his eyes shall zee the King.
There ia guarantee not only for the
present. but also for the future No man
can claim the future except one who gets
it in this way.
Mr. Lights sermon was a splendid dis
course. full OF common sense. and one
that must prove OF great profit to every
one who heeds IT,
Two beautiful anthems were sung by
the College chorus class, under the splen
/ did direction Of Mr. j. W. Adams. The
chorus was assisted by Mr.. Hehin, cor
net; Mr. Franklin, violin, and MIR. Hoop
er. bass violin.

COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT.
The Entertainment BY the Primary
Departmental Large Audience En-
lows the Occasion.

To say that the primary department
of the College gave an entertainment
under the direction of Miss Higgins aud
Miss Perry, Is the same as saying that
every one was highly delighted. The
training that the children showed wac
remarkable and speaks highly for their
instructors.
The entertainment opened with de-
lightiul little chorus by the school. This
was followed by recitation by MafJ
Fulton. She has remarkable talent In
this line, and kept the audience laughing
all the time by the excellent way In
which she recited - Mouse" She and
Jas. Latimer were decidedly the stars
of the evening. Next there were piano
solos 10y Marjorie Franklin and nellie
Someryille, and Rotations by Nell Perry
and Jas. Hawkins All these were well
rendered for such young students In
the character sketch, both Annie Full
ton and Elizabeth BOulware did well
Annie had the heit of the talking aud
showed a splendid memory. nellie Som
ervile's tonst 1.-The Gentlemen, was en-
dyed by every one, especially the College
professors Mary Lowery then gave a
piano solo. 1t il wonderful that 80
small girl can play 80 well A
fitting climax 60 the first part OF thepro
gram was Jimmie" Latimer's toast,
The Ladies'" The fact that Jimmie
gave toast written by Mark Twain
makes il unneccessary to say that the
audience WAS cOnvulsed with laughter.
His natural ability. combined with Miss
Higgins training, makes Jimmie in
imitable. The second part of the pro.
gram consisted of selections from Mrs
Wiggs Of the Cabbage Patch Jessie
Wicker was the leading character and
showed exceptional ability and GOODNESS
She was splendid Nicholson Adams
and Wilson Someryille took the prize on
costumes All the children did well, and
Miss Perry lie To be cOmplimented Tor her
successful work in training them.
The whole entertainment WAS fully up
To what Miss Higgins department
always gives. The audience, 10 spite o!
the hot weather, was sorry when the en-
tertainment was over.
