said without hesitation that the moth
er Of those boys was fool, for any boy
would have done that, | would my
self. ] subsequently, learned that the
mother said that the boys even show
ed the dopraved condition of their
minds by simply touching China
man. So you see that illustrates my
meaning fully. Here we are living
in this world with people created by
the same God who created us, and yet
we despiSe them, and feel that our
children are disgraeed and devoid Of
reason because they come voluntarily
in close contact with one OF these low
ly men made in the image OF God.
"Oh. let us believe that we are all
the sons aud daughters of one ever
m reiful God lot us learn TO realize
that there is not creature So lowly
born but that this God would pour
out his divine grace upon him 10 the
fullest measure, Let us from now on
promise To serve our God with all
our strength and power, and in such
relationship@we will come TO love All
men as sous of our divine Father.

you this morning. You are now
settling the question of your influence
throughout your life. l take il YOU
are not different from the other bodies
of young men that we have known in
our college days. Among ths 700 or
| 800 here you probably know all or
most in a casual way, but there are
three or four or five with whom you
are entirely congenial, and whose
mental and moral makeup is such as
to cause you to make him your ideal
the youth or man you would wish to
be like.
Ibid it ever occur to you that, hui
namely speaking, Andrew held the
career of Simon Peter in the hollow
of his hand, and after he had learned
of Christ The attitude one takes to-
wards things is so immensly import
ant that IL may effect the whole life
of others. Suppose Andrew had talk
ed with Peter about Christ, but had
told him that he regarded Christ as
an extremist, an agitator, Peter would
never have been drawn to him and
his whole career would have been
changed.
"That is precisely the position in
which we stand TO someone. None
ever lived but whose influence at
some period of their life was not the
turning point for good or bad in some
other persons life, who did not repre-
sent the ideal TO some other person.
Someone has told graphically of an
incident in his life when he was a
student at a great college. He was re-
turning to his home after a night of
carousing and met one of his teachers.
In reply to the latter's question, he
answered i don't know where ] am
going.': That is it, my son, said
his questioner, you don't know where
you are going. Go home and ask God
to tell you where to go That was
the turning point in the young man S
life for he formed new ideals and a
new attitude towards life.
Your service to your god and TO
your country can never be the high
est until you have committed your
life to the guidance of His spirit and
have allowed His will to control
yours. May God so work through His
spirit upon your hearts that you may
he guided to make His service your
guiding spirit as you serve your coun-
try.
The simple announcement that the
Rt. KeN. Henry Codman Potter, ID.
D., LII. d., Bishop of the Diocese OF
New York, was to preach yesterday
morning at the chapel at the Nav al
Academy, drew the largest congrs ga
tion ever assembled in the old armory,
where chapel services are held pend
ing the completion of the new chapel.
Scarcely a seat was vacant and the
congregation included distinguished
men both from military and civil life.
The sermon was marked by that
| earnestness and deliberateness that
characterizes the man who preached.
The Bishop is a man of striking per-
sonality who bears the mark of dis
| tinction that characterizes intellectual
| ly. lie is slow of movement and slow
of speech, but every word and every
movement is marked by thought and
deliberation that cannot fail TO con
vey weight and lasting impression.

RIGHT TO WEAR CLASS RING
First Class Says Second Class Does MOI Rate
II Until June.

An interesting and what promises
TO be warm argument has been raised
by the first class at the Naval Aead-
envy with the class Immediately be-
low over the right of the latter mem
bers TO wear the class ring before
the last section Of the first class
graduates in june.
Ii is understood that several letters
have been exchanged between the
presidents of the two classes over
the matter, and that both sides are
determined not TO yield. The second
class men claim the right TO order and
wear the CLASSIFYING, and says that in
previous years, even when the first
class graduated as a whole in June,
the next lower class rated it's ring
after February. The upper class, par
ticularly that section OF it which
will not graduate until June. how
ever, maintains that the wearing Of
the ring, which is usually designed
by member of the class, is rate
not yet inherited by the second class
men. The incident is taken to indi-
cate that whatever may have been the
outcome of the hazing investi cations
and the supposedly death blow to all
rates. last year the middies still
cling TO some Of the class distinc-
tions.
The second class will wear its ring,
and the indications are that there will
be war to the knife between its mem
bers and the first classmen who Will
not graduate until June. These latter
have the balance of authority in their
hands, as cadet officers, and this
gives them one advantage.

THE TYPEWRITER.
Various Tests That Should Be Applied
Before Purchasing.

Always look a typewriter over
well before buying OF renting.
The first test which q stenogra-
pher makes of new typewriter is
to ascertain whether all the keys
work and whether the types are all
perfect or not
The sentence "The quick brown
fox jumps over the lazy dog is the
one which e usually used, for il
contains every letter of the alpha
bet. Many use 'Now is the time
for every good man to come to the
aid of his country" But this one
is not so good, for four or five let
tiers are missing.
After punching out the test SEN
tence on the small letters it should
be, repeated, using the capital let
tiers. Then the figures should be
punched in rotation, for they are
often inaccurate.
The most vulnerable points in a
typewriter are the keys and types.
With little use they are apt to fly
of, and it is highly important, to
ascertain that these are all securely
affixed.
Another point is the action. If
the typewriter does not have a free
and easy movement, you are certain
to have trouble with it.
In buying a second hand machine
or in renting always look carefully
at the types. for usually they are
worn uneven from use or have been
Jared slightly cut of place. If two
or three types are inaccurate, they
will ruin the whole appearance of
the typewritten sheet.
1t has been found by many large
firms that the renting of machines
is much cheaper than the owning
of them. A typewriter needs CON
slant attention and repairs. Usual
" the renting company includes the
repairing in the rental contract,
and that is. where the saving comes
IN.
A typewriter is as delicate as a
watch. Never attempt to repair a
break yourself. 1t will probably
evolve into a series of complications
which viii make costly repair job.
Always keep the machine clean.
The work will be neater and cleaner
if the machine is clean and well oil
ed, and the life of the typewriter
depends directly upon the cleaning
and oiling.-New York Herald
