Remember the fate of the tree which
brought forth no fruit.
Apply your hearts to wisdom. Think
what God has for you to do. He is behind
you; if you rebel it is your fault. There
is lesson for all in the story of the prodi.
gal son. Take it to your heart. Bright
angels will lead you Ger life's pathway
Your class motto, Awake Arise, or Be
Forever Fallen is grand one to take
with you through life. Apply it to every
walk of life. Never be discouraged, but
trust in God and do the right and at the
end of the road is victory for everyone
You are being thrust out into the arena
where you must fight the battles of life.
Never mind the mob; do what is befor
you.
The Master has said, Il, il be lifted
up, will draw all men unto Me- He is
drawing us all to Him and in the battle of
life can we not say with Kipling,
oh, Lord Of Hosts, be with US yet,
Lest we forget; lest we forget.

out into the battle of life may your heart
be filled with the prayer of the text "Sc
teach US to number our days that we may
apply our hearts unto wisdom"
"You will not all have to pass through
fire. You may feel rebellious at times
but remember that we are drinking and
have drank bitter cups and you may have
the same, but there is refuge in God un-
der His everlasting arms. In life learn tc
be true to yourself; in reading, if you find
book which your conscience tells you is
unfit, turn it down. Be true to yourself
The thought of equality of mankind
does not imply that all are equal and can
only attain such height. There is nc
certain level for mankind and the height
which you may reach is only measured by
your efforts. You will find friends not
what you expected; when you look for
them by your side they will not be there,
but if there comes time when you need
them you will find them side by side help
ing you fight the battles. Don't be afraid
of the right.
Don't think because someone fails to
accord with your views that you are
wrong. This continent would not have
been what it is today had it not been for
the perseverance of those OF long ago.
They sailed across the sea in boats that
today would be deemed unequal to the
task. In the South Sea Islands the ma
tives throw their little ones into the sea to
teach them to swim. Some are drowned
of course, but those who learn to swim
are among the strongest and most ath-
letic persons in the world. You are not
put here to think, but to work; to work
out grander and nobler destiny. Don't
despise small things. You are put here
with the problem given self to find God
You have each talent of some kind and
you should remember the story Of the man
IN the bible who took his talent and buried
it and lost what he had. God intends tc
bring forth fruit meet for repentance

DIED SUDDENLY
Divine Caukin Passed Away Last
Nfght-Sick But a Few Minutes

Divine Caukin Passed Away Las,
Night-Sick But Few Minutes
Divine Caukin was taken sick with heart
trouble last evening at his home shortly
after eight o'clock and died inside of half
an hour
He was sitting in the hammock on the
lawn at the time for a rest and soon COM
planned of feeling very bad. He went into
the house and laid down on some sofa
pillows in the doorway, but grew so much
worse that he told Mrs. Caukn to call a
physician as he believed he was going to
die. Mrs. Caukin hurried to the phone
and summoned DR.. Dutt, who arrived just
as he was breathing his last. Mrs. |. L,
Hubbell and o. J. Burris, near neighbors,
we're there shortly after he was taken and
rendered assistance until his death. He
was conscious during the short time he
was sick but was in terrible pain about
the region of his heart.
Mr.. Caukin had done hard days work
and after supper went down town and on
returning was taking quiet rest when
stricken. He was 81 years cid and has
been a resident of this city over twenty
years. As soon as their son, Ed Caukin
of Laporte, Ind, arrives arrangements
will be made for the funeral.

The Ellis school Exhibit

The program and exhibit at the Ellis
school on Friday afternoon of last week
was a highly complimentary affair to
both teachers and pupils and most
throughly enjoyed by the large number
present. The program was given by the
younger members Of the school and was
made up from the work of the year in
both recitations, drills and songs and
was finely carried out, the little ones
doing themselves great credit and ap-
pearing to enjoy being the entertainers
as much as did the parents and friends
in being entertained. Following the pro-
gram, an hour was most pleasantly spent
in viewing the exhibits in the different
rooms which were most interesting. from
the well filled room Of the work Of the
little kindergartens under Mrs. Ellery
on through the rooms Of Miss Tallman,
Miss Herrick and Miss Adams, each room
representing two grades, The patrons
Of the Ellis school may well fell proud Of
the work Of their children and also Of
the effielancy Of their instructors. The
south side teachers and pupils will have
to do some lively hustllng II they expect
to out do the north siders.

SPOKE WORDS
OF WISDOM
Did Rev. j. A. BayntOn to the
Class of 'OS
In the Baccalaureate Sermon sunday
Nfght-Good Crowd In spite
OF Excessive Heat

The annual commencement exercises oi
the Belding high school began Sunday
evening with the baccalaureate sermon
delivered by Rev. J. A. Baynton. Al
though the night was exceedingly hot and
oppressive, there was a large crowd IN
attendance and the services Of the even
ing began with song by the high school
chorus, under the direction of the super
visor Of music, Miss Della James. Rev.
o. w. Winter read portion OF scripture,
after which another song was sung by
the choir. Rev. c. E. Maxfed offered
prayer and three Of the young ladies sang
a very pretty trio. Supt. Pitkin then gave
the announcements for the week, after
which the collection was taken and Rev.
J. A. Baynton was introduced.
Rev. Baynton took for his text the words
found in Psalms 9o:l2, $50 teach US to
number our days that we may apply our
hearts unto wisdom" He said in part:
Glass Of 1908, you are assembled this
evening to listen to the baccalaureate SER
mon. The term 'baccalaureate' means a
crowning of victor and this is really a
crown Of love. You are now taking the
first important step on the ladder Of life.
As you are finishing the course this comes
as recognition of the results which you
have attained by constant study.
"You have learned the lessons of the
text books well, but have you learned
yourself2 Do we know ourselves as well
as we know others, or can we find flaws
in others without noting the same kind in
our own make up9 Do we pass Judgment
on others as easily as we do on ourselves?
Have you found yourselves and learned
the true secret of success, self controlp
You encounter, as you break out in the
world, all classes and conditions OF people.
Do not let us think they are not our peo-
pie. You have before you choice in life;
you can make it life Of opportunity or
life Of no opportunity. Life is what we
make it. II we get all there is in life out
Of it. we will not have to say as did Solo,
mon. Vanity of vanities; all is vanity"
when Milton wrote Paradise Lost, he
had failed in life to find the best there is
in it, He seemed to forget that there was
a bright future if he but strove for it. The
day of devil worshipng is passing. Mar
rowness is being eliminated and optimism
is shining brighter day by day. Men and
women are learning to do their duty; they
are lifting up their hands against evil: they
are saying, 4 believe in God The Lord
God OF Hosts be with US, and today the
hosts of heaven are with US. AS you 90

While going out to Kiddville Mond al

In company with several other boys, he
caught the three o'clock freight and rode
out as far as the bridge, where they we're
in the habit of jumping off the cars TO
make nearer cut TO the swimming place.
Louis had loosened one hand from the step
to which he was hanging, when the other
suddenly gave way, letting him drop back
ward on to the end of tie, which he
struck very hard. He then rolled down
the embankment, picked himself up and
walked short distance to tree standing
near by and sat down. When he tried to
get up and walk he found that he could
not stand alone. Word was sent to E. E.
Fales, who went out with rig and brought
him to DR.. Pinkham's office, where an
examination revealed no serious injuries,
but bad bruise on his hip is still confin-

The first laces were made. as shown
In the illustration. by pulling together

working them into a coarse net, leav-

form the design. In those early days

In interesting and artistic embroidery.
SO the "cut work." AZ It Is called, was
taken up. It seems likely that It was
introduced by some woman from the
East who. having learned the art in her
own country. became a nun in an Ital.
Ian convent: Certain it is that the Ital.
fans carried the art to Spain in this

country produced the same work. but

Italy. 80
