flied with profound thought,
and at the same time practical and
We regret that we can
not give the address in full, for it is
worthy of publication. At the close
of this the orders lined up and all re-
paired to the College grounds across
the street from the church where the
corner stone was laid by the Masonic
fraternity with its beautiful and i'm
pressive ceremony, presided over by
Deputy Grand Master Veach.
Az the close the entire concourse ac-
companied by the bands and led by DR..
h. G. Burroughs sang that old familiar
hymn, "Jesus Lover of My Soul, !"
which seemed to penetrate the vaults
of heaven, while all nations stood still
and the little birds in the leafy boughs
overhead closed their little beaks and
listened with rapt attention to catch
the last echoirg sounds as they passed
beyond the range of the ear in the far
away undulating air.
After the benediction the line of
march was again taken up and each
division halted in front of the present
quarters of the MillersburgSS Female
College where pictures were taken.
The Knights Templar then escorted
the Blue Lodge to the Masonic tenn
pie, where the exercises of the day
were formally concluded, thus closing
the most eventful chapter in the his
tory of Miliersburg.
The Commencement exercises are
again on and our little town is once
more IN holiday attire. The examina-
ton of the college closed Thursday anC
on Thursday evening. between 8 anC
80 o'clock the entire student body
escorted by members of the faculty
went out Serenading to the delight Of
all who heard them. Their voices

sung a number of familiar songs, pro
duced an indescribable beautiful effect
/ and made us all sing with the poet a:

turn back, oh, turn back, won't you
time in your flight and make us al
young again these commencement
nights.
On Friday evening, at 8 o'clock
Misses Anna Earl Brown, of Bloom

expression. They were greeted by tn,
! largest audience ever seen in the oper:
house on any previous opening nigh
of commencement unless it was a
some of the children's exercises. He
program was good and well rendered
Miss Fisher deserves special mention
in as much she had been sick for sew
eral days and it was thought tina
morning she would not be able to d,
/ her work.
The Instrumental music by Misses
Booth. Hutchcraft and King, and tn,
vocal solo by Mrs. Johnson addeC
much 20 the occasion. Miss King. in
structor in elocution, should be justly
proud of these two graduates.
Saturday evening at O'Clock at tht
same place, Misses Ethel Love Fisher
Cynthia Wilson Thorn. MiIlersburg
Katherine Cook, of Alexandria, gradu
ated from the school of music. The
numbers were all classical and render
ed in an artistic manner. Mrs. Shan
non, who is at the head of this depart
ment has been with US for several
yaers. We know just what to expect
and were not disappointed. The vocal
solo by Mrs. Johnson. and the work by
the chorus class deserved more space
than we have to give them. The audi
ence was large, cultur ed and apprecia.
