Presbyterian Church of Nashville, who
preached the baccalaureate sermon at
the Military Academy Sunday morn.
ing, made an impression in one day
upon the minds and hearts of those
who heard him, that years will not
efface. A more inspiring talk to
young men we have never heard than
his sermon to the cadets at the Mill
tary Academy Sunday morning, and
fortunate indeed, will be the boy who
holds most tenaciously to the admoni-
ton of this wise and experienced man
of God. And his sermon at the Cum
berland church in the evening was no
less helpful to the middle aged and
the old, those who are bearing he
burden of the day, and those who are
tired with the weight of years.
Whether it be your own or the sins
of others which do so heavily Cypress
you," he said, 'let not your heart be
troubled; believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and He will make the yoke
easy and the burden light" "All sor-
row." he said, comes from sin; often
the sin of others. Every home would
be peaceful and happy, but for the one
member who is acrid, contentious, I'M
grateful and selfish. Sin produces
sorrow; we can no more escape sor-
row than death; the fruit of our own
sins, the fruit of the sins of others,
overtake us; must and inevitably will. |
But, 'let not your heart be troubled"
trust in God, and He will wipe away |
every tear, The home that rebellious
member has robbed of it's peace, the
discouraged man who has done his
best and failed; no human power can |
correct these errors or right these |
wrongs, but, let not your heart be
trust in God" 1t was a
sweet, tender, beautiful sermon, from
one who has himself known sin and
rod the wine press, but troubled not
1is heart, because he has heard the
7oice of the Comforter.

A FINE PER-
FORMANCE
C. M. A. MnstreIs and Drill Was
CreditabIe in Every Particular.

Every friend of the Columbia Mill
tary Academy, who was present at the
opera house Friday night, was delight
ed with the creditable performance
given by the cadet minstrels Every
number on the program was good. The
choruses were strong and musical;
the dancers, especially the one in the
darkened scene when the dancing
looked mighty like the natural work
of real live niger" was fine. And
while the solos and duets
were all in good, clear, musical
tones, more than passing notice is due
the selection sung by Henry Benner,
who, to the surprise of many, disclosed
voice of unusual merit and captured
his audience by his singing. The old
favorite, "Old Black Joe, was again
favorite and was well sung, but the
feature of the evening and one which
reflects great credit on the school,
Major Martin and the cadets, was the
spectacular drill at the close of the
evening. The cadets carried them
selves well, were faultless in their
maneuvers and kept perfect time The
Queens Salute, probably the most diff
ficult maneuver in military tactics was
executed perfectly. Major W. j. Whit
thorne, who has seen many military
drills by crack companies, and who
is as well posted perhaps as any man
in the county on military affairs, says
the drill was the best he ever saw. The |
performance closed with "Tenting on |
the Old Camp Ground" and when, at
the sound of taps, the cadets stretch
ed themselves out in true soldier fash
ion upon the ground to slumber, the
lights were lowered and the audience
departed. well pleased with the even
ng's entertainment.

many humorous and most creditable
drawings, list of the class organi-
