BACCALAUREATE SERMON.

The Episcopal church was filed
Sunday evening by the members Of
the graduating class of the Austin
high school and their friends to lis
ten to the sermon by Rev. ]. s. Bud
long. He spoke from the theme,
Lawful Strife for Mastery" He
spoke of the intense competition of
this age and Of the efforts Of so many
to attain mastery unfairly. Three
points were emphasized. First striv-
ing. Nothing is gained in school or
in other lines except by close appll-
cation and persevering effort Sec
ond, Strive for the mastery OF the
best. The Christian ideals are the
noblest and most worthy and we are
more and more convinced that the
really great men and women are
great because Of their religious faith
and hope. Third strive lawfully. Be
originators not imitators. Carry out
the Golden Rule in all the relations
of life. Build yourself up without
doing SO at the expense Of others.
The sermon was a practical one and
timely.
