portant mission, for the cultivated
mind and the moral character and
advised the young men to embrace
these opportunities and strive for
that which is manly and honorable.
He made the assertion that the far
mer OF the future, the mechanic,
the man at the desk will all be edu-
Gated men, and how much more inn
portant is it new TO secure educa-
tional training and mental accom-
plishments.
While all these things are true
how important it is also to preserve
the moral character, especially after
years of ambitious work in the
schoolroom. How easy it could all
be dashed to pieces with the vice of
drink and gambling and other body
and soul destroying evils.
All these things were presented
in a practical and interesting man
ner by Mr.. Robinson and his adj
dress highly enjoyed.
The commencement proper was
opened by baccalaureate sermon
at the opera house by Rev. J. j..
Castleberry last Sunday. The seats
were practically all occupied. The
address was specially interesting
fand appropriate to the occasion, the
minister having devoted much time
and care to its preparation, and the
audience was highly edited.
This paper went to press Thurs
day afternoon and hence the exer-
cises Thursday evening could not
be published until next week. How
ever, the evening was devoted to
the graduating class and to Miss
Killough's music class.
On Friday morning (to-day) Prot,
G. L. Swiggart, of the University

Revival Services at Opera House.

Next Sunday we begin a series OF
evangelistic services under the lead
ership of Evangelists Brandt and
Hoggatt as preacher and singer.
The day services will be held at
the church, but on account of the
smallness of the church building
the official board has arranged to
hold the night services at the opera
house.
Mr., Brandt is a really gre a
preacher. He has stood for years
as one of the leading pulpit orators
of St. Louis. He is a thoroughly
spiritual man as we'll as scholar
and orator.
Our only desire is to do good. We
beg, therefore, that every one lay
aside, as far as possible, other in
terests and agitations which gen
der strife, and unite in behalf of
the spiritual interests of the city
which we love. We cordially invite
the cooperation of the ministers
and religious people of the COM
munity in this effort to save souls.
The general public, both in the city
and surrounding country, is invited
to attend these services. "a

The first night program consisted
of a Contest in defamation and a
recital by Mr.. Ownby's pupils in
music.
The exercises we're opened with
prayer by Mr.. John Harrison and
then a grand selection by Mr..
Ownby on the piano-Wagner's
Potpourri. Mr.. Ownby has en-
ioyed continued and usirterrupted
success as teacher of music in Union
City for many years, and every re-
curing commencement e a n
marks progress in his work and
splendid results in the advancement
of his pupils along the lines of de-
velopment in a general knowledge
of m1sic and the accomplishments
of musician. Mr. Ownby has kept
in touch with every department of
his profession. He is not only a
teacher, but a student who takes
the regular courses in the best
summer schools of the country.
The Potpourri was rendered with
the skill and confidence of an &C.
complished musician. The num-
