CHAPLAIN CLARK breaches
TO THE GRADUATES
DR.. Clark Took For His Subject
"My Bow Is Renewed In
Ny Hand" From
Book Of Job.
THE BOW AS SUGGESTIVE OF
USEFUL SERVICE.

A large congregation Of worshippers,
numbering parents, guardians and
friends of the midshipmen filed the
old armory yesterday morning to hear
the bacoalaureate sermon preached by
Chaplain II II. Clarke 90 the gradu-
ating class sof midshipmen. The old
armoIy is now the temporary chapel.
Every available seat was taken. There
was special music by the midshipmen
choir.
Chaplain Claik preached from the
text found IN the 29th verse of the
goth chapter of job. my bow is re-
newed in my hand" He spoh of
the bow as an ancient and suggestive
figure of useful service and dwelt
upon the nobleness of service in the
abstract and the opportunities for il
afforded nv a career in the navy. The
bow, he sad vas . ely used by the
| aucients as a beautiful and pleasing
smybol, aud the sacred writer had in
his mind when he penned the words
of the text his own youth. which
stood in his memory as stout and
graceful bow, which was frequently
used as "a figure for a thoroughly
| equipped manhood both mentally aud
physically. The same 'fcrfc, &c said,
could be taken rs suggestive Of the
splendiGly equipped yourg men wlo
| the Naval Academy was sending into
