friend, hat day has passed, and any
one starting out now to win success in
any calling, an education is absolutely
requisite, and the need of 1t becomes
more apparent every day. So do away

blessings of the many children whose
welfare is concerned, and the conscious
assurance in our own hearts Of having
done our part in giving to our children
the opportunity Of preparing them-

Cincinnati. June 21-Secretarv
Taft's visit to his home city. so far as
concerned the selection of a Republi-
can national chairman was a fruit-
less mission.
Frank II. Hitchcock, who mana ged
the preliminary campaign of the war
secretary at Washington, might have
had the Craftsmanship, but at the last
moment he declined to permit the use
of his name, because of the condition
of his health.
A telegram was received by Secre-
tary Taft from Mr.. Hitchcock Satur-
day, asking that he be not considered
in connection with the craftsmanship.
He said that his physical condition
was such as to render it substantially
impossible for him to undertake the
onerous duties of campaign manager

After q conference lasting about two
hours. Secretary Taft, Representative

determine the matters which could not

Regarding the national Craftsmanship,
Sec. Taft merely said it had been decided
to postpone action until the most inter-

concensus of the opinion of Republican
leaders throughout the country. He gave
positive assurances that no man, even

COLBY COLLEGE.

Watervile, Me, June 21.-(SpeciaD
i ne Baccalaureate sermon before the
graduating class of Colby College was
delivered this morning at the First
Baptist church by President Charles
l.. White. The graduating class in cap
and gown marched from the campus
to the church and occupied seats in

comics We're crowded, with the under
graduates. relatives and friends and
tie address delivered by President
White was Of great interest to all.
He said in part:
The surest thing in the world is
the kingdom Of God. This is the reign
of truth righteousness and love, as
eNemrlified in the life and teachings
of Jesus Christ. Nations, customs,
civilizations, institutions and creeds
have seemed to be permanent, but they
have tlouriShed only for 4 time, like
a green bay tree, and 10, we search
for them and they cannot be found.
They have hardly left their dust on the
paths that the feet of the servants
of Christ have made down the slopes
of the centuries.
"To have the work of your life be-
come permanent investment in the
lives of others. it must be a part OF
this kingdom of God.
But to be Il part of the kingdom,
you must acknowledge the reign of
God in your heart. the rule of God
must dominate your acts. the rights
of God must be supreme in your pur-
poses.
'If college proves itself to be 81
part of the kingdom of God, whatever
it's poverty or its trials, it will endure
to the end. If church ministers to
the spiritual needs of the world, II
will prosper because it is part of the
kingdom of God. If one keeps him
self unspotted from the world and Wis
its the fatherleSs and widows in Their
affliction, he will have a great life as
God counts greatness. Christ will
keep his hands busy if man keeps
his heart beautiful.
In the plan of God for the ages
there is a division of labor among the
human Workmen. The former men did
their part well. but we have a vastly
more important part to do. The press
