The ladies of Clan Gordon observed
the thirteenth anniversary of the

ed applause The order follows; selec-
tion. Bruce's orchestra; song, Bar
bara Mcdonald; reading, Florence

the conclusion Of the program, part
ners for the grand march were chosen
The circle extending nearly around the
hall was led by Mrs Robert lnglis,
chief sister Of the Ladies Of Clan Cor
don, and John Stuart, chief OF the
clan. Next in order came Mrs. Mar
garet Kesson, vice sister of the So
ciety, accompanied by james Booth
clan tanist Dancing closed shortly
after u o'clock
A committee of eight members Of

OF its success. Their names follow:

Pres. Frost's Sermon to Graduates

We are IN the Kingdom OF God al
ready as truly as though we sat un-
der the trees Of Paradise. II is right
for us to sing the hilarious hymn
Il am doing well. am glad To tell,
I'm living in Canaan now"
In the third place Gods Kingdom
= a kingdom OF ideas. All that Jesus
brought into the world was a few
fruitful ideas. He built them on
the foundations Of the prophets lie
came not to destroy what had gone
before but to fulfill. lie taught men
that the great commandment in the
Jaw was the commandment OF love.
lie taught us that God marks the
slarrow's fall. He taught us that
blessedness is in hunIering and
thirsting for righteousness. lie
taught US that virtue is not In out
ward respectability hut In that pure
less of heart which does not desire
evil And these ideas have been
ever since slowly working for the
transformation of the world
In the fourth place the Kingdom OF
God is kingdom OF hearts World
ly Kingdoms rest upon fear or the
hope OF reward. No one comes into
Gods Kingdom except by the choice
OF his heart. When a mans heart
is like Gods heart, devoted. loving,
sympathetic with all Gods creatures,
lac is Ia the Kingdom.
In the fifth place the Kingdom OF
cod is a kingdom of the humble.
Christ said, "Ye know how In this
world those who have authority ex-
erclse lordship but II shall not be
SO among you, but he that would DC
greatest let him be servant of ALL"
So his kingdom began with fisher
men and carpenters and shepherds
and SO 1t has a place for the service
OF every loving heart. Not all are
called TO preach the gospel, but all are
called to bear witness OF the gospel
and the witness OF farmer and
stable boy may be as effective as
that OF the preacher. II you are call

to be. your place is TO be a head

There are different degrees of sus-
ceptibility to christian and spiritual
influences, but there is no different
degree of the chance TO enter into
the love of God and to nave a low
ing useful part in the work of man
kind. Let the young man compare
his chance with that of Abraham Lin
coin. There is no one here that has
not had a better opportunity than
he. He was a very poor boy, born m
an obscure and almost worthless
farm. Why is it that our names Will
only be known in our little circle
v lille he is known the world over
and will be for thousands of years?
IL is simply because he took the
chance that God gave hini-did not
bury his talent but polished it and
save his life TO the thoughtful SER
vice OF mankind. And this is what
CN cry one of US should do and must

tianity upon US.
And now To the large body OF
citizens here wish to say a word.

ment and our ways Of living do not

face of the fact that we eXpend upon

Nising the expenditure OF the more
than half of our revenues that goes

OF this great fund has been largely
tLwarted by setting up as a standard
