great work ia this college, 1t falling
mainly to her lot to take the pupils at

and to help them to learn to study.
The effort of DR.. Massey Is to fur
nish as good advantages in the orna-

Sunday was an ideal Commencement
sppday--clear, bright, and as hot as
June suns usually get to be. But the
great audience OF citizens of Tuskegee
and of visitors were not at all restless,
but on the contrary apparently forget
full of the heat as they listened to the
splendid music made by the college
choir, and were instructed In the faith
by the old time religion preached by
Rev. DR.. Rlddick, pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal Church, South of
Hi mingham. He took for his text the
2Sth verse of the first chapter of Col
lossians: whom we preach. warning
every man, teaching every man, that
Christ Jesus"
The preacher characterized the pres
ent as distinctly a superficial age; peo-
pie read tons OF books which the faith
ers would have cast aside as trash.
Religious theories and vagaries hold
toe much the attention OF the people.
The preacher should feel that he has
tho greatest work in the world to do,
and that to teach of the Son of God
requires all his thought He is the
crier. the announcer, and that was the
way Paul answered all doubt and all
infdelity. The importance of a per-
scnal knowledge OF the Saviour was
urged upon the young ladies. Without
a knowledge OF Him all other knowl-
edge was in vain.
At o'clock at night DIR. Riddick
again occupied the pulpit of the M. e.
Church:
Monday morning the following pro-
gram was offered the public:
Prayer, Rev. w. s. Cox. Dothan, Ala,
La Gazelle. (Kullak)-Miss Mary
Feagin.
Literary Address by Rev. Frank seay
OF Montgomery.
Music.
The Swallows" (cowen)-Mrs. Ern-
est W. Thompson.
Music.
Marche MiIitaire. (schubert- rausis)
Miss Annie Moore.
Exhibition of Art Work. from 1850
to 1890 o'clock.
The address of Mr.. Seay was one
or unusual strength and beauty. al
though he made no apparent EFFORT at
the ornate. His subject, The Spirit of
democracy" was well handled. He
showed that while the past ages point
ed to one man as great in a particular
realm. we may have scores of great |
men and women in many realms OF
thought and service.
The pictures on exhibition were of a |
class to give the inspector clear idea
OF the EFFORT of the college to teach
tho pupil the real, simple lessons of |
nature, as well as to bring out and |
develop those nobler parts of the soul
and mind of the pupil. DR.. Massey Is |
natural man and he abhors the stilt- |
ed the unnatural and has his teachers
work along sensible and material lines
