Commencement Sermon.

There was very large congrega-
ton out at the Baptist church Sun
day morning to hear Rev. d. w.
Hiott preach the commencement SER
mon to the graduating class of the
Pickons Graded School. The text
was from Romans Mi 1; 81 beseech
you therefore, brethren, by the mer,
cies of God, that ye present your
bodies as living sacrifices, which is
your reasonable service" The sub.
ject Of the sermon was "Self Denial "
Many forceful lessons were drawn
from Biblical history illustrative of
self.sacrifice and self,dcnia, the most
striking Of which may be mentioned
the recorded instances of the sacrifice
of Isaac and the trial of Abraham in
giving up his son; the sacrifice Of
Paul in becoming disciple Of Christ
Practical illustrations were then
drawn from our times, showing the
sacrifice and solf-denial of foreign
missionaries, holding up the spirit of
these self sacrificing men and women
as being, worthy of emulation. A
striking lesson was then drawn from
SCOTS "Lady of the Lake"
The minister, to make his subject
still more practical and forceful,
narro we'd down its application to the
individual members of the congrega-
ton, and clearly demonstrated that
what each individual had accomplished
had been done by sacrifice and self.
denial.
The fact thot sacrifice and self.
denial is he true measure of great
ness in this world, was impressively
and logically proven. The sermon
was powerful effort and is sure to
bring forth fruit in due season.
Such was the first commencement
sermon of the Pickens Graded School.
