The Annual sermon

Again. Sunday evening there was
an immense crowd at the corn palace
to hear the annual sermon as given
by Rev. E. L. Thompson, of Daven-
port, Iowa. DIR. Nicholson presided
over the exeriess and the invocation
was offered by Rev. Lachlen MacLain,
OF Mt. Vernon. The choir of the
morning presented Il special number,
followed by a collection taken up for
the expenses of the day. Rev.
Thompson selected his text from l
John, 2, IA. His theme was a mes
sage to the strong who have over
come the wicked one. He gave an
interesting description of the great
city of Ephisus, wherein was located
the temple of Diana. He said that
it raj the most lacivious and corrupt
cities Of all centuries, and here 1T was
that John wrote the words which ring
out to the youth of this day. To
whom more appropriately could this
message be directed than to the
young men and women of the college,
who are living in an age that God
has made the greatest of all. In his
conception of strength the speaker
thought it much better to be so
years young than to be twenty-five
years old, and along these 25 to so
years you are making the qualities
that measures the destinies of man
kind this body, he said, is the agent
by which we must do the worlds
work. He believed in making the
body physically strong and endorsed
athletics and physical culture to at
tain that strength but that the body
should be the servant and not the
master, and whatever there may be
about the body that binders and not
helps is an alien in preventing it car
rylng out the faction Of the mind.

ing the element of strength in The
religious and to the members OF
the classes he referred to their selec-

were now leaving school. He wanted
ito impress upon them the thought of
not making their work a supreme
thing over their religious life, bu t
that it should be secondary.

ence and honor, having been elected
a few weeks since, in Los Angeles,
CAL, to the office of Bishop OF the
Methodist Episcopal church by n
of the largest votes ever given to
any incumbent Of that high position
and selected upon the first ballot.
After a most helpful and impress

charged the president as follows:
"And now Mr.. President, it becomes
my agreeable duty to speak a few
words to you, as you formally assume
the presidency of this University.

mother upon her offspring. Some
would discount the call because of its
origin. These truths persist age af-
ter age; they are transmitted be-
cause they are ever more clearly rec
ogpized as forming the basis of the
most sacred relations of life. The
A,pethod of their transmission is an
J indication of their perpetual
strength, rather than of their super
stitious weakness. They come to
be recognized as the priceless herit-
ages which the fond and eager par
ent would pass down to her children

He gave a number of illustrations
found in the lives Of men of the pres
ent day who eXemplitied the theme he
sought to press home on the minds
of his hearers, and in closing his
powerful discourse he urged these
young people who were leaving the
college to get in touch with the In
visible. He said he felt more than
an ordinary interest in the members
of tile classes, for they were the first
to leave the college since his becom-
ing attached to it in an official ca
paclty. DR.. Nicholson's address was
listened for the hour which he spoke
intently and a hush fell on the audi
ence as it listened to the truths en-
pounded so earnestly and so force
fllly. With a selection by the
choir and the benediction the morn
