Sermon Before Cadet Corps

The annual sermon was delivered
in Stonewall Jackson Memorial
Hall Sunday morning at IL O'Clock
by Rev. James p. Smith, ID. D., OF
Richmond, the distinguished editor
of the Central Presbyterian. The
text was from the 10th chapter III
1st Corinthians. "Quit you like
men; be strong" The discourse
WAS an exhortation to manliness IN
young men, from the fact that
youthful impressions are most
lasting and most influential on
after life. DR.. Smith held out to
the members of the graduating
class the wonderful possibilities of
trained young men, and emphasized
the thought by illustrations from
history of the great battles, not
alone military but industrial, in
telIectual and moral as well, that
had been fought and won by young
men. His closing thought was one
of Stonewall Jackson's maxims
"You may be whatever you resolve
to be"
