BEGINNING Of
COMMENCEMENT
Continued from nth Pase.)

Mr. Northrup introduced as the speaker
of the evening the Rev. Charles s. Murk-
land, d. D.. of Middlebury, who took for
his subject "The Conscious Factor"
DR.. Murkand spoke of the spirit Of
questioning in the colleges at the present
time. the colleges on the whole are reli-
gious, but the religion is of an interroga-
tive rather than Of dogmatic nature
Hence. It is permissible to discuss the
origin OF conscience and it's force as
determining factor in life. The speaker
then discussed tho theories of conscience
concluding that we must arrive at the
true solution Of tho problem by a study
of natural history. The relation of con-
science to three great subjects was then
discussed First, IN ethics: whence Is the
nature and authority of right? This
question must be answered. too. by ma
tural history It comes from an impera-
tive law in the very nature OF things.
As a factor It should lead to a denial OF
the baser self for the higher self
In sociology tho great problem Is the
relation Of the individual to the in
stitution or to the mass. Here a con-
scious following Of right is a greater
benefaction to the public than the en-
dowment of colleges or hospitals In
this following of right consciously and
in the face of obstacles we have Christ
as the great and perfect example. He
Is the embodiment of the imperative
right Social Consciousness in the la st
analysis is the expansion of the in
dividual consciousness.
Finally, conscience is to be studied
in its relation to religion. Religion Is
in the heart Of nature, therefore in
the heart of man. We should not fear,
as many do. TO trace here the natural
history of all that is truest and best
in US: IL this Is traced correctly II will
lead us back to the great head of all
| life. In conclusion we can solve the
great ethical social and religious ques-
tons by applying to our own lives the
very simple command Of Christ Who
ever will come after me. let him deny
himself. take up his cross and follow
me-"

September. In that month OF September
occurred the famous yellow day" when
the atmosphere of all New England was
SO obscured by tho tmoke from the great
forest fires in Maine that the sky was
darkoned and the sun nearly ohscured.
These forest fires In Maine and in sew
oral other States followed n season of
drought which began almost about the
first of July and the drought was accom-
panied by intClerable heat. which lasted
far into the autumn. II was so hot during
the second week Of July that business
was practically suspended for several
DAYS in many cities
Now. the interesting thing about that
rema rkable summer of 1881, and the rea-
son for recalling it to memory now. Is
that it was preceded by a very cold
spring. In the first week of April there
was snow in Mississippi. Lake naviga ton
was obstructod ny ice until after the mid

There were severe storms during the

With turret armed for any foe
And engines strong for any gale,

Should once this monster open fire,
A fighting demon Of the sea.
IT'S named Vermont. because, forsooth,
In time OF war Vermont come out
With men of iron prepared to fight
Who'd sooner die than put about.
Sail forth upon the worlds highway.
Thou valiant ship, and act they part
Maintain the honor Of our flag,
With warriors nerve and statesman's
art.
Rehuke the nations proud and stem
Who tread the weaker peoples down.
