Delivered at VI. Il. Church, South, by
the Rev. NJ. l.. Sheppard OF Fay
ettevilIe to Big Gathering of Stu
dents and Their Friends.

The Methodist church, South, was
packed to its full capacity yester-
day morning to hear the Baccal-
aureate sermon for the 1911 SEN
iors of the Mena High School.
The Rev. NJ. X. Irwin was in
charge of the services. The Rev. T.
A. Park Of the Presbyterian church
led in prayer, which was followed
by scriptural lesson by the Rev.
J. J. Bowman Of the First Metho-
dist church. Mr.. Irwin then made
the announcements and introduced
the guest of the day, the Rev. NJ.
Luther Sheppard of Fayetteville,
pastor Of the First Baptist church
of that place, who proceeded in a
quiet, plain and forceful way to de-
liver his sermon, entitled The
Highest Education" Following IS
"a synopsis of DR.. Sheppard's talk:
"The Highest Education"
Text: Isa., i:i7-'Learn to do
we'll"
Il congratulate you on your grad
uation from the High School Of this
city, and trust the occasion shall be
full Of meaning to you. The idea of
graduation implies graded life, a
life lived in certain stages which
succeed to one another, from each
of which we climb into the next.
more or less struggle and trouble
till we come to some level landing
place where we rest and take our
breath. Then from thence a new
slope, at another angle, and perhaps
with greater difficulties, leads us
to another starting point. There
we find ourselves at new ascent,
and so, not in one continuous line,
but by a line always broken by
places Of rest and OF new start. BY
a course set with continual Com
mencement Days, we advance
toward the highest. We are con-
jtlnually graduating into some new
life; we are always coming to Com
Imencement Days.
We hear much Of primary, Sec
ondary and higher education, but
the text reminds us of sphere yet
beyond of that highest education
which concerns all, and which is
the main end of life 10 secure. Nor

WAR SECRETARY
DICKINSON QUITS
The Democratic Member of Taft
Cabinet Resigns-Iienry L. Slim
son, Progressive Republican Of
New York, Takes the Place.

Washington, May il.-The res
ignation of Jacob NJ. Dickinson, as
Secretary Of War, and the appoint
|ment of Henry l.. Stimson of New
York as his successor were am
Inounced by President Taft Satur-
day. Dickinson was a railroad
attorney before his appointment as
ia member of Taft's cabinet, and
was regarded as standpatter,
while Stimson, Roosevelt's appoin-
tee as United States District at
torney in New York and the
Roosevelt candidate for governor
of New York last fall, is of marked
progressive tendencies.
Pressing private affairs is the
reason given by Secretary Dickin-
son for his retirement, in letters 10
President Taft. Unofficial Wash
ngton" has found other reasons
for Dickinson's resignation.
Recently there has been friction
between the State Department ana
the War Department OYER the Mex
lean situation. Mr.. Dickinson mas
incurred criticisms by his methods
IN the War Office, and sshsieerEee haze
been rumors of the resignation o.
Secretary Knox because of dis,
agreements with Mr.. Dickinson, but
there has been no official intima-
ton of the latter's retirement.
Also, Mr.. Dickinson is Demo-
crat, and while he espoused the
Taft cause in the last presidential
election, his presence in the CAP
met of Republican president has
not been looked upon with favor
by some Of Mr.. Tafts political az
visers, who said that Mr.. DIeklh-

barrassment in the 1912 campaign
