Church, preached the commencement
sermon 10 the graduates VI Hickman
College at the court house last Sunday
night. He took for his theme: Teach
us to SO number our DAYS that we may
apply our hearts unto wisdom" Ii
was an able and eloquent appeal for
education in the three branches spoken
OF so frequently in the book Of all books;
for a complete aud thorough course of
instruction for the body. the spirit and
the mind. The speaker placed partic-
'ular emphasis upon the necessity OF
keeping the body in a healthful condi-
ton that it could better contain the
soul; that upon this depended the abii-
Iity of the mind to receive and retain
knowledge. and be ever ready to apply
that knowledge to the best purpose; for
knowledge itself was useless without
the ability to SO apply 1t that the best
results might be obtained. He spoke at
