If our lives are narrow, shut up with
in the beleagured walls of our own
selfishness and pride, no amount of
learning or wealth can contribute any
thing to real happiness. Tranquility
of mind arises, from filling our own
place. Happiness lies in doing some
thing as well as being something.
Each of us are planted here for a
purpose, and fortunately within the
cultivated enclosure of the ripest civil
lization, nursed in the lap of christian
privilege, citizens of glorious Chris
tian nation, with educational advan-
tages our fore fathers never had. The
young women before me owe a debt of
gratitude to their parents who have
toiled and strove that they might be
equipped for life's duties, responsible
ties and possibilities.
You owe debt of gratitude to your
teacher, for the best of his thought and
goodly influence clings to you like dew
drops upon the leaves of spring, the
best of his time and labor has been be-
slowed upon you to bring you to this
hour of your triumph and honor for
which all congratulate you.
And as you further prosecute your
studies, which we trust you will, for
you have but marked the spot where
you place the ladder up which you must
climb to greater efficiency and power,
take time over your preparation, make
it thorough. Work hard, endure the
struggle necessary to success. Disci-
pline contributes to perfect manhood
and glorified womanhood. AS storms
strengthens trees, tireless efforts make
men.
Climb to success by your own efforts;
no crown wears so well as the one Sc
cured by honest toll and it wears the
longest.
Preparation may be long and tedious
but is essential. 1t was long way
from tending sheep to sitting OH a
throne, ruling a Kingdom and wearing
crown, but David travelled it. He
who was humble shepherd became
the trusted and popular leader of Israel,
champion of mighty army, court
musician, royal favorite, and he climb
ed naturally and masterfully step by
step till he touched the top.
You have your place in the home, i'm
the nation, in the Church. Fill your
place well and you will find subtle
atmosphere of happiness spring up all
around you, coming from those sources
you least expected. Do your duty in

Miss Zella Beard.

To you, our friends, teachers and
school-mates here assembled, the class
of 1904 bids you welcome.
Two changeful years have circled
round since we last met and today an
other class stands upon the threshold
of school life ready to step over into a
world of new duties. Yet we pause a
moment to say few words of appre-
citation to you, our teachers and
friends, who during our school days
have given us kindly encouragement
and tonight by your presence manifest
the interest you have in our welfare.
Our school days have left us many
cherished memories, days of both sun
shine and shadow. We linger with
pleasure over the happy experience and
yet it is from the lessons of adversely

life has given us courage, confidence
and determination for the real battles
of life. Viewed in the light of subse-
quent events, our seeming failures have
rather been successes in that the dis

doing. If we would be better equipped
for our duty we must unite ourselves
to those sources of strength which con-
tribute to that end. The student, TO
keep mentally strong, must drink
from the fountain of literature, history,
biography and poetry. He must draw
from mind expanding sources. He
must not tarry among the unfruitful
fields of literature, but be fed with the
finest of the wheat, as the bee
drinks the sweetness from the best of
flowers, man must get strength from
the best of sources.
Same is true If a man would keep
spiritually strong he must unite him
self to those sources which give strength
to character and poise to the soul
/. Let us remember that il is not
the possession of gifts, but the legiti-
mate and practical use of them that
decides our place and helps us TO
FILL 1T.
There are excellent people whose
lives are wasted, not for want of capac-
ity or adaptability to do things, but for

covery of what is false has led us to
seek more earnestly for what is true,
and added experience has pointed out
errors which in the future we may
avoid.
After pausing moment to think of
the past, we turn again more resolutely
to the future. Heretofore we have
been buoyed up by our teachers, but
the time has now come when we must
depend upon our own efforts and re-
sources. The past has in large
measure determined the future. The
habits developed, the purposes formed,
the knowledge and power acquired are
the factors which are to exert the great
est influence in shaping our lives. We
cannot tell what the future has in store
for us. Like a vessel sailing under
sealed orders we know not, but as the
ways of Providence are disclosed, to
what ports we must go or on what

quently happens that great gifts are
associated with mental inertia. Edu-
cation must serve practical purpose
and not ihfrequently it takes more
genius to use an education than the
getting of it. The student must have
some object in view in seeking an edu-
cation, and it should not be less than
to glorify their maker, then their gifts
will be well directed and energies well
applied. 1t is not the power to do but
the doing that counts. Intellectual
strength of itself accomplishes nothing,
il is the practical use of it that enriches
the world, brings things to pass and
adds glory to character. 1t is not a
few geniuses that the world so much
needs but large number of practical
people. There is enough unused talent
in the world to revolutioniZe Enough
unused talent in the church to reform
human society and win the world for
Christ. This world would be better if
people would only consider how much
good they could do, if they would only
do the good they could. Inaction is
the destroyer of life and strength,
while exercise is prime factor in pro-
ducing health and happiness.

BEING.

Confusion only arises when any per
son gets a place other than the one for
which he is especially fitted.
The range of human usefulness is
limited by the faculties given and the
circumstances which tend to modify
character and develop talent. Our fac
ulties decide how far we must go, what
we must do and how high we must
rise. And if we are by force of cir
cumstances consigned to lowly place,
it is well to remember that we can
make it larger by making ourselves
larger. Geneva was a small place, but
John Calvin was born there and he
made it larger. Our path of usefulness
will broaden before our advancing foot
steps. No one of us need to remain in
doubt long as to our path of duty, it
lies right in our track and awaits our

of the voyage, too, are unknown.
Every man who starts on the ocean of
life arches his sails to an untried breeze.
Like Coleridge's Mariner, "He is the
first that ever burst into that lonely
sea-"
In the past as we looked forward to
this day, it was with feeling Of pride
and joy, but as we greet you tonight
1t is with feeling of pride mingled
with regret for we have suddenly come
to realize that this is not the beginning
of freedom but of service; that our
work Is not now ended but scarcely
yet begun.
Thoughts of separation now come to
us. 1t is not mine, however, to speak

OBSERVED BY BOTH TEACHERS
AND PUPILS.
Four of Our Young Ladies Receive Their
Diplomas This Evening.

It is with no little pride that we view
the work of our schools during the
past year. An extra teacher in the
grades has greatly relieved the condi-
I tions of the previous year, while the
attendance has steadily increased.
More time than ever before has been
given to nature study and the work
done has been both interesting and
profitable to pupils and teachers. The
Tiffany Industrial Cabinet has proved
a most valuable acquisition for this
work, and the coal charts prepared by
the intermediate department were
pleasant surprise to all who saw them.
The High School for the first time i'll
its history has graduated a twelfth
grade and considering the facilities for
high school work we feel proud of
what has been accomplished. 1t is a
significant fact that several former
graduates have been back this year to
review OF to take some of the new
work introduced since they left. Inter
est in debate has not only been aroused
among our pupils but the whole vii
lage has been stirred with enthusiasm
for that work.
1t is with some regret that we note
the many needs of the school in the
way of more room, better ventilation,
etc. but we believe that our teachers
are faithful workers and that they Will
do for US the best work that can be
done under those conditions.
