Rev. DR.. II. E. Truck, pastor
of the Mexico First Baptist church,
delivered the address of the ocea-
sion. We can only refer to it
briefly. The subject was: "a
Sense of Obligation, Honesty, In
dustry."
Quoted the following from Epic
tetusi "When young women ar
rive att certain age they hear
themselves called mistresses and
are made to believe that their only
business is to please the men,
They Immediately begin to dress
and place all their hopes in the
adjoining of their persons. 1t is
therefore worth the while TO en-
deavor by all means to make them
sensible that the honor paid them
is only on account Of their con-
Quoting themselves with virtue,
mOdesty and discretion
Young women Of this day have
other notions in tbeir beads, as is
plainly evident BY their giving at
tention to other things than dress
and the adornmeut Of their per
sons. Conditions are changing foi
the better; they will continue tc
improve as long az we INQUIRE af.

Obligation, said he, is an art to

women to be sensible of their obi

they come, to the generous bene-
factions which have made possible
for them the training in higher
education, to the teachers who la
Dor for their Improvement, and
most Of all to God the giyer Of all
gifts,
This obligation should lead them
to cultivate an unselfshness in eV-
cry direction and to exercise a gen
uine love for everything, from the
tiny sparrow that chirps, to the
all-wise Father who watches over
all.
Honesty, said he, is to character
what gold is to commerce. It goes
deeper, too. than mere truth telling

Il has q deeper meaning than mere
outward conduct It is q principle

"Whosoever shall smite thee on
