The annual college lecture on Sat-

delivered 10y the Rev. Fayette t..
Thompson, pastor Of st. Johns
Methodist Episcopal church at Dav-
EXPORT, Iowa. DR.. Thompson's theme
was 1.-THE Crisis of Youth" The
lecture was n of great power and
made a deep impression on the audi
ence. Following is a brief summary:
Disraeli says, that the history of
heroes is a history Of youth. Ruskin,
that the great products Of art are by
the youthful artists. Goete, that
the destiny of nations depends
upon the arms and purposes of the
young. What one is at twenty five is
what he is likely to be forever. The
first twenty-five years of ones life is
the great destiny period. In pro-
LESSONS and i'm business life the first
twenty-five years mark destiny. In

Immense Crowd Present.

Grace Nicholson played a piano solo
that was heartily received, and she
denoted considerable skill as a SOLO
list. Both selections were by Chopin
and she interpreted them with adj
mirable taste. A piano quartet by
Misses Conner and Walker and Miss
Ruth and Mrs. Roy Jewell, was
played IN faultless style and concep-
ton.
The %elocutlon class inaugurated
the commencement week IN a be-
coming banner and paves the way
for a week of interesting and enjoy
able entertainments. The young
ladies were heartily congratulated at
the close of the program for their
meritious work and encouraging
words were offered for them to pro-

finished presentation. Miss Otter
presented d number from "Quo
Nadis' that was regarded as a piece
OF meritorious work. She gave the
burning of Rome and the arena
scene from this work. 1t was a
difficult number but she met the re-
~quirementS fully, and brought out
the strong points with a nicety.
"When Angry, Count One Humid
red" a selection of the humorous
character, was rendered by Miss
Cope i'm a way that brought much
applause to the speaker. She has
a good conception of her work and is
painstaking and earnest IN what she
presents. Miss Atwood recited
s'Mamoisclle" that gave her oppor-
tunity to show her marked ability in
the line of elocution. The speaker
makes a good appearance on the plat
form ana forgets self i'm the presen-
tation of her work. The closing
number by the class was the group
ing of s%tatuary in which they pre-
sented IA number of beautiful pi eces,
and their posing was Done with
grace and Skill.
The musical numbers were very
much enjoyed throughout the even
inc. nianO quartet vas plaVed
by Misses Ferris and Nickers and
Misses DOYLE and Bower that was
rendered in a thoroughly competent
manner. and they played the num-
her with precision. A duet was

per cent of active christians became

1t is not argued that there are not
exceptions to this rule. Some awak-
en- to a full ems of life's meaning

one is all that he ought to be at
twenty-five. The contention is that
the fundamental principles of living
take their form at this age.
We make of life what we will. 1t
is a great thing TO be yonu9. to
make of ones destiny what we will.
Then every ambition and aspiration
of the soul is watered by the dews of
heaven. The highest ideals may he
realized if one is willing to pay the
price.
Youth is to be congratulated that
1T is Young in this most epoch MAX
ing period in the history of the
world. Two or three things of note
i'm this age.
l. 1t is an ace OF wonderful ma
terial prosperity.
,. 1t is an age OF great intellec-
tual advancement.
,. 1t is an age of discovery and
scientific advancement. The young
people of today have all the treasures
of the yes thrown into their laps.
And yet the world today lis a new
world, Every generation lives in a
peculiar sense a new life. Every G
must interpret for itself the dealing
Of God. Every generation must stand
alone before the great world prob
lens. Every age must translate into
its own vernacular the eternal truths
of God. We have passed into an age
