Sermon the Graduating Class-The
Concert-News Notes.
Commencement week began last Sum
day evening when the sermon to the
graduating class was preached by Prof.
Benjamin W. Bacon of Yale University.
The service was held in the North church
being in charge of the pastor. and the
church was crowded with an interested
audience. Rev. DR.. S. G. Barnes of the
South church offered the prayer and the
subject OF Prof. Bacon's discourse was
"The Discipline of Christianity" His
text was from I John Al and and he
urged upon all disinterested selfsacri-
fee, spending ourselves for others with
out the thought of any return. He
spoke first OF the meaning of the author,
drawing fine distinction between the
different Greek words meaning love;
secondly upon the circumstances of
which John spoke the words, in the
eventide of gospel history; thirdly, the
application of the principle to our times.
His address to the graduating class
was a beautiful ending of a most
scholarly discourse.
The concert by the double quartette
Monday evening in Music Hall called
out another large audience and the sing
ers were very generous in the encores.

tickets for the graduating exercises, Fri
day, June II, will be ready for delivery
at Bingham's, Thursday, at a. m. It
is very, necessary that these exercises
begin promptly, and, to avoid annoy
ance and interruption to those who have
parts on the program, the doors will be
closed while each speaker is on the
platform. There are always many per-
sons who are unable to secure tickets.
and hence it is very necessary that all
tickets that cannot be used should be
returned promptly to the Principal of
the Academy.
