THE GRADUATES OF 1903
Thirtieth Glass from the Mineral
Point High School.
THE BACCALAUREATE
SERMON

to the graduating class of Mineral
Point High School was delivered by
Rev. G. w. Lyman, of Nashville,
Mich, on Sunday evening, June Z, at
the Primitive Methodist church. The
scripture lesson was the 22nd chapter
Of Proverbs, most appropriate
reading to the young people just start
ing out. The text chosen was Philip
plans AS, Whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatso-
ever things are of good report if there
be any praise, think on these things"
Mr.. Lyman made splendid applica-
tions of the words of the Scripture, in
advising the young men and women;
and at the close, in very well chosen
words admonished them to always
bear this text in mind. 1t was an
able wholesome sermon and very
appropriate to the occasion. He said
good things and said them 80 that
they would exert power for good.
