It Is believed that the attempted aSSaSSina- tion of the grand duke by members of the imperial guards last "Wednesday Is the cause of his declination.

Annual rleeting Y. M. G. A.

AS stated in these columns last week
an important question must be answered
at the annual meeting to be held Wednes-
day evening, June 20.
The directors have endeavored, with
out results sufficient to warrant a
continuance of the policy of the past few
years, to carry on the work by employ.
ing only one man to do the work in the
physical and secretarial departments.
This policy has been pursued, hoping
that the economy thereby obtained
would save the situation. 1t has been
proved, for St Johnsbury, at least,
that one man cannot successfully
carry out this policy. The eharac-
teristics required in man to do
successfully the secretarial, as compared
with the physical work, are so opposite
that they are rarely found in one person.
The question is, will st. Johnsbury sup
port strong, capable secretary and an
able physical director? 1t was done here
several years ago and most successfully.
Will the people of the town again sup.
port work that will unquestionably
produce lasting results? A large attend
ance at the meeting June 20 is desired,
both on the part of contributors and
those who may honestly question the
advsability of maintaining association
work here in st. Johnsbury.

The Academy Concert and Alumni
Reunion.

To the Editor of the CALEDoNIAN:-
Will you again kindly permit me to
express to the readers OF the CALIFORNIAN
the earnest hope that the Commencement
Concert, to be given this Wednesday
evening, may appeal to very large
number OF our own citizens and to those
of other towns. The program is an
excellent one; the chorus is in the best OF
form for such musical work; the soloists,
Miss Ogilvie, of Boston, and Mr.. Bowen,
of Stamford, Conn, are singers of excep-
tional ability, and they will contribute
to the programme very generous share;
and local soloists have most kindly con-
tributed their services. But there is
special reason, il all these elements just
named existed IN even less degree, why
the friends OF the Academy, and OF youth
in general, should show their apprecia-
ton of these musical efforts. The musical
work being done by these yonng people
of the chorus is most valuable, in an
educational sense, and in every sense
and its success and growth depend. in
large measure, upon the nearly apprecla-
ton, endorsement, and presence of the
public. speak earnestly Of this, as
feel deeply its importance. AS has been
said before, the price of tickets is adjusted
to appeal to all.
May l also say word about the
Alumni Reunion? The preparations
being made for the Annual Alumni
Reunion, Friday evening, June 10, in the
Academy Hall, assure an occasion of
more than ordinary interest. The Boys
and Girls Glee Clubs have consented to
sing, and this, OF itself, will be no small
attraction. Besides it does everybody
good to renew his youth-or, rather, to
preserve it-by such contact. All inter-
ested, who read this notice, are urgently
requested to give it wide circulation
among their friends, who may also be
interested.

The Sermon 10 the Graduating Glass
The Events of the Week.

The Events of the Week.
The sermon to the graduating class of
the Academy was given 10 the North
church Sunday evening by Rev. DR.. Ed.
ward D. Eaton, the pastor OF the church.
Every seat in the church was occupied by
an interested audience and the double
quartette choir and the boy choir render.
ed excellent music. The pastor gave a
strong address on "The Cathedral Build.
ers" taking his text from I Cor. $50, "Ye
are Gods Building"
The speaker traced the development of
a noble life along lines suggested by the
building OF great cathedral. Lie. like
the cathedral, must have solid founda-
ton. Without strong convictions there
can be no permanent character. Unfaith
is no foundation on which to build; at
best it is but the excavation for a foun-
dation. 1t is the men who believe who
achieve.
A symmetrical life must be built to a
plan, and the earlier the plan is outlined
the better. The wise youth forecasts
lifes aims, and so avoids tearing down
and building over again, worthy ca.
reer must be built generously, loftily,
beautifully. AS the cathedral draws to
itself abundant gifts, rises to a great
altitude, and has expended upon it the
choicest thought OF soul ptor and painter.
Beware of the cynical question why
this waste" with which the devotion OF
young lives to noblest uses is sometimes
discouraged. Our country and the
world never called more urgently for the
best in character and service that our
young people can render. and never re-
paid more richly their most loyal service.
The sermon closed with the usual ad.
dress to the class which remained stand
ing while it was given.
