sermon graduating class ever listened to,
for the one who wrote it did not live to de-
liver it, Rev. George E. Tufts, who died in
Wolfville, N. S., May 2Sth, had prepared the
) Baccdla ureate sermon for this, the first
class of the newly organized High school.
He was very fond Of the class, having
watched each of them grow from babyhOod
up to young womanhood 1t was the desire
of the class that the sermon be read on the
day set for the Baccalaureate and this was
2 done by Rev. William Prall of Philadelphia,
who supplies the Episcopal church of Isles
l boro during the summer season. Mr.. Prall
interspersed the reading with remarks and
paid touching tribute to the writer. 1t
was very impressive service, and many a
tear was shed for the beloved pastor whose
going out has left such void in their
hearts,"
