Seventy University Graduates
'o6 Listened to Baccalaur-

The Rt. Rev. Cameron Mann of
Fargo, Episcopal bishop of North Da-

mon to the University graduating class
In the Baptist church last evening.
The sermon was one overlooking with
good advice to the seventy or more
gOwned graduates, and the large
auditorium was crowded to it's fullest
capacity to accommodate the throng.
The text which the bishop chose for
his discourse was: For what shall
1t profit man IL he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul.
In opening, the speaker said the
text was one you may think stalled
and frittered by incessant handling,
often clumsy and often foolish, and
yet, addressing you who are lust go
ing out to gain the world can find no
saying in the holy scriptures more
pertinent, more worthy of your deep
est consideration, than this solemn
warning which Jesus Christ sends
ringing out over the crowded fields of
human activity-this declaration,

TACT OF philosophy, makes one bound
through all science and art, and

DR.. ROBERTSON GAVE.
.bACCALAUREATE
SERMON
The Graduates Of Wesley Col
lege Given Good Send on
Sunday Morning.
GRADUATES.
Ida Fennell.
Charles Glenn.


The baccalaureate sermon for the
graduates OF Wesley college, whose
names appear above, was delivered
on Sunday morning at II o'clock in
the First Methodist Episcopal church,
Dr. E. P. Robertson, president of Wes-
ley college, being the speaker. There
was very large attendance and the
address of DR.. Robertson was very
well received. DR.. Robertson, as
Grand Forks people we'll know with
out the telling, is most eloquent and
fluent speaker But the main point
about his addresses is that he always
has a message to deliver. This was
true of Sundays.
He spoke as follows: Il select for
my theme this morning, 'Cosmic Gull
ture,' and choose the 10Th Psalm as
an outline in religious expression and
what that theme implies. The word,
cosmfc, has reference to the great con-
ception of the material universe and
also to the energy and intelligence
that interplay in 1t and explain it and
unite with it in one complete har-
mony.
Il think, that the poet, the artist.
the musician and the prophet are
somewhat akin in their work in pro-
noting human intelligence and in en-
larging the vision of life. They have
seen what others have not seen and
have heard what others have not
heard. They have translated their
visions into language which others
can appreciate and into portraitures
which others can see and by which
they might be inspired. The begin
ming of the renaissance was inaueu-
rated by great sculptors, great archi-
tects, great painters, and by great
poets and great preachers.
Some people have the idea, per-
haps, that universities and great in
stitutions of learning are irrelieious.
but l have had considerable insight
into the work of the colleges and /
do not think So Wesley college is
coming in as a co-worker with the
state university and not as an in
vasion. II it came in with the re-
former spirit it would fail and the
last state would be worse than be-
fore"
In continuing he said: "I welcome
with pleasure my privilege of speak
Ing this morning on this occasion. We
want our commencement exercises to
intermingle with those of the uniyer-
sity." He then spoke of the associa-
tons OF college life. "The greatest
inheritance that we have in the world
after all is In the evidences of graft
fcation that come out of grateful
hearts because we have done some
thing to enrich them and in the years
to come 1 shall add my voice to those
which shall acclaim with joy the sue
cess OF these young people. 1 hereby
prophesy that the very best will come
to them"
DR.. Robertson closed his address
with-"He that will find his life shall
lose it, and he that loseth his life for
my sake will find it."

his word in this respect, now opposing
Henry Mclean. the choice of the peo-
pie and man who has served the
district credttably in the legislature
before. Things are very warm politi-
cally and the republicans seem con-
fident of electing the regular delegates
and Lindstrom's defeat is foregone

As Seen From q Distance by Man
From the East.
The following story taken from the
Iowa State Register published at Des
Moines. and written by one of its field
correspondents, gives some idea of
how Grand Forks is regarded among
strangers:
Grand Forks is live town. 1t is
full Of buildings erected for the flu
ture. Big hotels, banks, wholesale
houses and business establishments
loom up on every side. The new
government building, the Y. M. C. A.
structure, three daily papers, the Car
negie library and the churches and
schools exhibit the interest manifested
in public Improvements. There are
several miles of block pavements. A
street car line runs to the state uni
versity, which is situated couple of
miles out OF town. At East Grand
Forks, on the Minnesota side of the
river, arc located immense saw mills.
Saw logs come down the Red Lake
river from far into the Red Lake re-
gion. Although lumber is higher
everywhere the saw mills give Grand
Forks cheaper lumber than it would

Thirty-five dollars a month is asked
for modest home not close to the
business part of the city. A corner
drug store pays $3.50 per month, a
clothing store opposite pays $3.50 and
a small room in a wooden building is
held at 500 a month on a five year
lease. A fine six story business build
ing is being erected and hundreds of
dwellings are in the process of cree
ton. Grand Forks is not dependent for
its prosperity on the territory imme-
diately adjacent. 1t is the supply CEN
ter of the now prosperous region to
the northwest. From its line running
west of Grand Forks the Great North
ern has no fewer than nine branch
lines in North Dakota alone. These
lines, together with the other roads
entering the city, make Grand Forks
an important railroad center If the
present prosperity continues the con-
victions of Grand Forks enthusiasts
will be realized in the largest city in
