GRADUATES OF 1909
Ba ccalaureate Sermon by til e
Rev. w. ]. G. Bond.

Teachers and pupils of the Mineral
Point schools gathered in the P. NJ.
church on Sunday evening to listen to
the baccalaureate sermon by the pastor
Rev. w. J. G. Bond. The large church
was filled to OVERLOOKING, and was APP
] propriately decorated with flowers.
Mr.. Bonds opening thought was the
opportunities of the young. He said
! it is related of Charles Darwin that
when one of his students called on him
in search of further light in relation to
| some scientific question the great man
would place his hand upon the student S
shoulders and say, Il am so glad that
| you are young He knew that the
history of greatness, whether in heroes
or in scientific achievements was, and
would remain to be closely associated
with youth.
The preacher said that one can not
! speak to company of those who are in
life's morning without congratulating
them on the possession of hopes and
possibilities which are forever gone
from those of multiplied years. Youth
is the period of new born ambition
enthusiastic purpose and earnest en-
deavOr. Age is the season of life for
enjoying the results of the successes of
the earlier years.
Into the most eventful and promising
period Of our national life are to go the
twenty two young ladies and gentlemen
of the class of nineteen nine, and surely
the conditions around us, and the posi-
bilities arising before our mental vision
would lead us to say with Darwin 1--WE
are glad that you are so young"
Mr.. Bond continued: The aim of all
culture is to strengthen personality by
the development of inherent powers.
The very meaning of life lies in the
/ development of the self respecting and
responsible personality. An education
is not to make dollars, but men and
women in the truest sense of these
terms. Our fOrefathers planned wisely
when they gave large place to educa-
ton. Every succeeding class which
goes out from the High School and other
halls of learning should emphasize the
inestimable value of the public school
system in the quality of manhood and
womanhood they embody.
The preacher closed with a contrast
between men of great intellect who
reverenced God and men of great in
tellect who withheld such reverence.
Ever remember, he said, that no true
and perfect culture stops short of the
development of the moral and religious
forces of our being. We desire to send
good men and women out into the
world. The state and city and faculty
have placed you under obligations to
them, and we, trust you will pay them
back by the influence and power of a
cultivated, moral and useful life. We
shall get the kind of men and women
God and the world need only as they
have been led to the foot of the Cross,
to drink in it's meaning and spirit. So
live that others shall bless God when
they see you, and when they have been
touched by your influence, they too may
crave a superior life and character.

MEMORIAL SERMON.
The annual sermon before the George
H. Legate Post and the Woman's Re
lief Corps Of this city was delivered on
Sunday morning in Trinity Church by
the rector, Rev. NJ. Chase.
The subject Of the sermon was found
ed on the incident Of the day of Pente-
cost, when the Holy Ghost came, and
there was a sound Of mighty rushing
wind and tongues like as Of fire APP
peared. 1t was, he said, the symbolism
Of the coming and the mission of the
Holy Spirit which this day commem-
mOrates.
SO men and nations have their Pen
teCOst-their baptism by fire.
After few words of welcome to the
veterans and the women Of the Relief
Corps, the rector went on to say that
when the shell at dawn on the 18th Of
April, 1861 rose screaming into the
pale, amber sky and arched its way to
Sumpter, bursting directly over the
fort, it was mighty rushing wind-a
tongue Of and the great war began.
From this Mr.. Chase passed on to
speak, in the usual way, about heroism,
patriotism and saviourship; all Of which
he analysed and defined.
The sermon closed with a tribute to
woman's work in the great war and in
the great work Of reconciliation begun
by Mckinley, and carried on by his
successors.
Mr.. Chase final words, in substance,
were, that twenty eight years ago, on
this day, he came here as rector a
matter of interest to the veterans, as
they think Of the flight of these years,
and how thin are now their serried
ranks Of old. A few more years-then
cometh the end of the order. The last
veteran will sleep with his fathers; and
he added, that while these twenty eight
years have wrought great changes in
lives, homes, and orders, yet there are
something's which never change: 1t is
the Union forever. 1t is the truth Of
this day forever. 1t is your work for
country forever. These abide.
The Church was crowded, and was
decorated with flags and flowers. The
morning choir was out in full force,
and the music, with Mr.. Anderson as
organist, was worthy Of the day, in its
double aspect as Whitsunday, and as

MEMORIAL DAY ADDRESS.
Rev. w. J. c. Bond in commencing
his address said: The American peo-
pie are today performing a sacred duty.
There is no greater day to be remem-
bered in the annals of American liberty
than when the flower of southern
chivalry gave up its battle sword to the
silent soldier at AppomatoX. I see the
dawn of a day when among the leading
nations of the world shall be the echo
of the sentiments of your greatest
general: Let US have peace As we
recount the services and self sacrificing
devotion of our soldier dead we should
teach the coming generation the full
meaning and import of this day. The
principles for which our soldiers, fought
is older than the civil war. 1t was:
obedience to the will of the majority"
Here the speaker touched upon the
causes which led up to the rebellion-a
rebellion which cost millions of treas
urers and the death of half a million of
the best aud bravest of mankind. The
victory of the union forces, he said,
established the truth that the nation is
not a weak confederation of sister
sovereignties, only held together by
self interests. but grand organic and
vital union of forever and forever one,
and indiSsOluble. And as our soldiers
III the civil war battled for our country.
and for our flag, so let US profit by their
glorious example and strive to uphold
and uplift American nationality so
gloriously won and maintained by our
citizens. Let us ever remember that
we have won our victories in war, and
have gained our unprecedented ad
vancement along all lines as a people.
