Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1905-05-12


The Christian church was crowd
ed Sunday to hear the Commence.
ment sermon. The seating capacity
was largely augmented by the con
Siderate and we'll ordered effort of
Travis Shaw and his corps of as
SiStantS, but some had to stand any
way and still others had to be turn
ed away. What else could be ex-
peCted when all the churches and
you might say almost the whole
town tried to get into one building?
Miss Pearl Gillian acted as organ
lst and the singing was the com
hined effort of all our church ch0irS,
and each one of them has good
singers. The News man enjoyed
this part of the service and he feels
sure that everybody else did.
And the sermon:
The News writer has heard
many Commencement sermons,
not few of them in cities, and he
can truthtulIy say that for depth
and breadth of thought, historical
illustration and general fitness for
the occasion that none of them sur
passed the one delivered by Rev.
Jessie B. HaSton on this occasion.
Its leading thought was progress;
progress in which the Christian
religion was linked with learning as
indispensable and inSeparable and
continued on and on throughout the
ages and into a bOundeSS eternity
Not only was an intellectual treat,
instructive to youth and age alike,
but it reached the advanced scholar
as we'll as the graduate; the lower
grade pupils were within its bounds
and its inspiration touched all
within the age of discretion and
will live and live on when Bro.
Haston himself has long been gath
cred to "hiS fathers in the great be-
yond."
