than a passing notice: To buy
UP go9d land just because you are
able, aud hold it out OF use until
the sweat aud toll of human beings

greatest of all economic crimes.
The penalty for this crime should
be a tas, under which, beyond

DIR. CADMAN At COLUMBIA,
Present Moral Tone Is DebiHtQted,
He SdyS an Sermon.

Dr. S. ParlIes Cadman preached the baccalaureate
sermon to the graduating class of Columbia Uni
versty yesterday afternoon. He characterized the
mental and moral tone of present society as de-
bilitated speaking from the text, For God gave
us not spirit Of fearfulness, but of power. love
and discipline
All through his sermon DR.. Cadman emphasized
the need of truth, courage and faith. He divided
into four caSSeS-the tradtionaIiSt the tenn
poral thinker, the pensive dOubter and a class
which he said was composed of and women
whose undOing was constantly being brought about
right the only thing that could rescue these
persons, he said He emphasized strongly the need
of putting justice. honor and humanity before
social convenience He said that il was hard to
believe but that II harder disbelieve, for
in you and in all men there is greatness which
cannot be set asid4 and which is beholden to
reasons logic. The truly learned man knows the
rights of his own nature, and that the instincts
which plead for good as opposed to evil scien-
tifcally trustworthy He looks beyond mere phe-
nOmena to the master light. which shines more or
less in every breast
Because Newton was a greater man than La
Place. he said, Newton offered testimony a God
while La Place failed TO Divine Being.
After courage, DR.. Cadman said, the greatest need
was discipline in governing that courage. Without
discipline he said, there could be no living air for
our civilization to breathe His apprehension
for America was that she would be smothered be-
meath the weight of her own panoply. DR. Cadman
closed by pointing out that the nation would have
be maintained by the same forces that built II
IN the first place.
Before the service the picture OF President ROose-
welt, exhibition in the trustees room, was
viewed by many visitors.

President Raymond Tells Students

Schenectady n Y June 10.-President Ray
rnond. in his baccalaureate sermon at the l1th
annual commencement of Union College, told the
graduating class that the social and business evils
now so widely denounced had always existed He
said in part:
It seems to many that with the decadence of
some of the conventions of Christianity, there has
been a distinct ethical loss. shown by the dis
closures made by investigating committees. II is
denounced have always existed, but have not al
ways been denounced, at least in such. unmeasured
terms. Graft is name for an old practlce
that had n particular name and no particular
moral calling. 1t regarded a little off color,
perhaps, but black. Naming it has had the
effect of ndividualizng itaccentuatfng its ethical
signifCance-so that the condemnation pronounced
upon it to-day represents step forward. rather
than backward. a generation ago a mans reputa-
tion was not seriously affected by his doing the
very things which within year have covered some
evil should take large proportions before its
real nature could be generally recognized. With
most of things must bulk large before they at

The current agitation of ethical questions marks

demands of the future will be greater than those
of the past. The kingdom of heaven is the resist

In speaking to the members of the graduation
class, President Raymond urged them to raise
their standards higher than those about them. He
said that the great temptation before each of them
would be TO accept what they found to live, II
