At the close of series of addresses re-
Gently delivered by Rev. V. NJ. Hardy to
the students of the Peoples academy in
Morrisville, a motion of thanks was
unanimously carried by a rising vote of
the students. Prof. Beebe, In putting
the motion, said that it had given the in
structors great pleasure in noticing the /
interest and appreciation of the students
in DIR. Hardy's addresses. He spoke of /
the tendency of educational institutions
throughout the land to bring occasional /
ly to the students thonghts from those /
not actively engaged in school work. /
Such addresses are generally called vesper /
services, but he liked better to style them 1
Aurora messages, as they had been given /
in the opening hours of the day and ad- 1
dressed to those in the opening years OF /
life. Mr.. Beebe said that in all our insti- 1
tutions he felt confident there had been /
no addresses that would transcend in
charm of expression and in inspiring ma
ture of subject matter, those which the
students of our academy have been privi-
legged to hear, through the kindness of
DIR. Hardy. An invitation to deliver the
sermon before the gradual
ing class of the Randolph Normal school
had been declined by DR.. Hardy on ac-
count of previous engagement with the
Milton, (Me.) academy June q.
