acquaint the citizens of the two sis
head. The commercial club is giving
doing and her prospects for the future.
| The commercial club and the college
| are to be joint hosts to about 400 of
the leading men of Fargo and Moor
the college it's most cordial support, and
the college its ost cordial support, and
Its members feel that the work OF an
institution like Fargo college means a
great deal to the city. DR. Gordon Of
Winnipeg, who delivered the COM
mencement address last year, has ac-
cepted the invitation to be the guests
of honor. There will be other speakers
as we'll. On the day following the
banquet DR.. Gordon will speak at the
college chapel.
DR.. Beard delivered the last Of
splendid series of talks on Characteris-
tics Of Jesus Christ during the chapel
hour Wednesday. TO many this was
the browning address OF the series
Dr. Boards addresses are of a scholarly
type which appeals to a student audi
ence. He took as the topic OF this lee
ture The intellectually Of Jesus. A
feature of this intellectually was His
originality. John Stuart Mill, the
English atheist, made the statement
that the stamp of originality in the
teachings of Christ gives Him place
In the very front rank Of genius. The
universally OF His teachings is evil
denced by the fact that there is moth
Ing national about His teachings
Burke has said that, from the stand
point of economics and patriotism, the
sermon on the mount was the most
comprehensive treatise that he knew.
The beauty Of every utterance Of Jesus
was another marvellous thing. DR..
Beard made the startling statement
that there are more New Testaments
in the pockets of socialists than OF
church members.
The Thursday morning chapel was
given over entirely to music. Miss
Steele. who graduated last year from
the conservatory and is at present
continuing her work under Professor
Orr, rendered two beautiful vocal solos.
She was followed by the glee club in
| several selections. This was the ini.
tial appearance Of the club for the
year, and their singing gives evidence
OF the splendid training they are re-
| ceiving at the hands of Professor Orr,
Their programme was as follows:
Serenade NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Conrad
The Shippers OF st. Ives. Schneider
/ The Drum Observation-Disclosures. Gibson
/ All Kinds of Women. -. Bracket
| The two latter were in the nature
of encores, and a parody on the faculty
was appended to the last number, in
| which the same melody was used. This
/ brought forth tumultuous applause
from the students.
During the Friday chapel hour Miss
True gave another travelogue, telling
this time something OF her trip across
from New York to Naples, telling of
the interesting life on ship board and
of brief sojourns In the Azores, which
/ are about 500 miles of the coast or
| Portugal. and at Gibraltar, and of the
| landing at Naples. Among the chapel
! visitors were two members Of the class
OF 1907, James Pollock, president OF
