REV. S. C. OnRUM'S ADDRESS
TO GRADUATING CLASS or 1910

Taking for his topic The Approx
ed Workman" Rev Ohrum, pastor Of
Cairo Baptist church delivered the
following address to the Cairo
High School graduating class of 1910,
at the church Sunday night:
The Sermon.
Rev Ohrum's address was mas
terly one and received close atten-
tion from the large audience. The
subject was "The Approved Work
man" and he applied the rules and
needs governing the mechanical
world to the physical, mental and
moral life of men and women. Fol-
lowing is an extract from the adj
dress:
Give diligence to present myself

els.
Most young people are fond OF us
ing tools That account, for the
popularity of the kindergarten meth
cd in Domestic Science and Manual
Training. And you like to win the
approval of teachers and parents.
It is a proud day for the boy when
he slyly brings home his first chair.
The same ambition enters into the
work that is purely mental. That Is
why you enjoy creditable grade
and an honorable graduation. But
this is not all the approval that a
the most OF us are conscious of the
all-sec;ng eye Of God. We would like
to have his approval of all our words
and deeds. This is the moral side of
work. and 1t brings out those noble
words, "Rigat' and Duty" While
it N :weet to have the praises OF
men, yet it is sweeter still, and more
comforting to the heart to have the
approval of God. The bible is our
manuel OF work, the inspired book
OF God. The Lord Jesus Christ Is
our Master Workman, the divine
Son of God. To follow these is to
surely win the approval OF God. and
this is the noblet ambition that can
fire the heart OF man.
The question arises, How can one
become an approved workman Not
IN some narrow sense do | mean;
but in that largest sense that include
life as whole. The word is calling
for such workmen to do the worlt )
work. How can we become sucn ap-

tions of life. We should protect our
life from going up in smoke.
One piece of good advice is that
homely adagc. Grin and Bear it,
There are many annoyances that
ought to be kept to ones self, for the
sake of the strength that such en-
durance brings to the soul Instead
of complaining. there should be the
patience ard sweetness of the heart.
Sturgeon, the great preacher, when
speaking of annoyances, once told
his students that he had learned to
swallow "Bush-Fagbts'' cross-wise
and that they had wonderfully
clarifying effect on his voice. Endur-
ling patiently his many trials had
made him a better preacher. What
ever may be your occupation, you
must learn to swallow the greatest
provacation, and the disagreeable
process will wonderfully help your
usefulness among tmen.
The best illustration that ] havl
F., ever seen, of the value of smoke con-
/ sumption, is the loading apparatus
lof the Remington Automatic shot
gun. The ordinary Kick is trans
muted into power, to remove the
empty shell and to throw in place
the shell that Is loaded. The "kick'
or recoil, drives back piece of ma

| empty shell. and with its return mo
tion pushes the loaded shell in place
\ and the gun is ready to fire again
1t is all done automatically. in an
/ instant OF time before the huntsman
is ready to pull the trigger for the
next bird. This ingenious device has
almost entirely removed the disagree
| able kick" and does the loading
more promptly than the human nand.
While using this gun last summer
several queries came to my mind.
One was this, How much more load
could mule pull # his posteror
proclivities were converted into for.
ward motion?" The other query wa
this, How much more valuable
would we men become, If our kicking
instincts were converted into pull?''
The serious problem is as to how we
can convert this instructive spirit OF
oppo ition into forward energy that
win pull in harmony with the earnest
team. One balky man in harness
can put his Missouri friend to shame.
But when this kicking spirit is con
verted into readiness to pull. there
lis added much Of value both in use
fitness in service and in the power
to please A proper regard for the
feelings and opinions of others is one
Of the best methods to transform
destructive kicking in constructive
pull.
3. The greatest smoke consumer
is patient endurance.
There is only one way to save the
tangled thread from destruction, and
that is to unravel with patience and
care. Many are the tangled problems
that are never solved. simply because
the mind is nervous with Impotence.
But the "level headed" man, that
boon to the race, Is ready, with tina
and care, to take up the tangled
threads of life, whether for himself
or another, and let patience do her
perfect work.
1t is marvellous how this grace of
patience can rise above the afflic-
tions of the flesh. | knew young
