Mind and Religion Discussed by
Rev. Harry Mitchell.

The annual Y. NJ. c. A. sermon
was delivered last Sunday morn
ing by Rev. Harry Mitchell of
Newport, from the text, Isaiah l,
part Of the 18th verse: Come let us
reason together. saith Jehovah. He
discussed the theme, mind and
Religion stating that too often
we think Of religion as something
connected with sentiment merely,
losing sight Of the gracious invita-
ton which the text brings us from
our Lord.
lie urged everyone to apply his
intellect to his own religious de-
velopment. not to be willing to ac-
cept the experience Of others. The
speaker cautioned against the
movement away from doctrine,
saying our religion must be found
ed on some such fundamental prin-
cipal as faith. love or immortality.
Mr.. Mitchell considered the
word simple" as applied to the
Christian faith. an ill-advised one.
saying its depths could never be
sounded by the gigantic intellects
Of the earth. 1t is simple only as
the sun that warns the earth.
whose rays can outshine the light
of millions Of stars. or as the Won
drous power Of mother love.
Mr.. Mitchell is a graduate Of
Delaware College. class 1903. Ar
thur Iouchin. class 1913, preceded
at the exercises. Old hymns were
chosen and the congregational
was a pleasing feature Of

Baccalaureate Attract, Large Crowd

\ large audience attended the
annual baccalaureate service held
in the oratory last Sunday even
ing.
Rev. Charles r. Erdman. Profess
sor Of Pastoral Theology. Prince
ton Theological Seminary. adj
dressd the graduating class from
the text. Matthew. eleventh chap
ter and eleventh verse: Verify !
say unto you, among them that are
born Of women there hath not risen
ii greater than John the Baptist:
Notwithstanding he that is least in
the kingdom of heaven is greater
than he. The sermon was a schol-
arly but practical one.
DR.. Erdman referred to John s
doubt as expressed by his action
from the prison-sending disciples
to ask of Christ. "Art thou He or
do we look for another?'.' The re-
ply teaches us that we are to look
for the answer to the doubt which
is bound to assail us. in the evident
things around us.
The questions which Christ put
to the multitude revealed the type
of man he considers great. Not "a
reed shaken with the wind that
bends smoothly and gracefully
with every breeze Of popular opin-
ion that blows, but he who holds
firm to the ideas that he believes
right Not "a man clothed in soft
raiment, > one who surrounds him
self with all physical comforts.
and lives for that alone, but he
who makes use of the comforts of
life only to the degree that is
necessary to achieve his greatest
efficiency.
lie urged the young men before
him to be messengers for Christ
not from the pulpit alone. but in
their daily life, in ther business. in
the home. on the street. in the col
leee, or wherever they happen to
be.
Grand old hymns were sung
with fervor by the congregation.

GOOD LUCK

We are releasing our space to the
news Of the week. No word or com
ncnt OF ours can add aught to the
occasion.
Delaware College has become in
fact. as we'll rs in name, q State in
Stitntion. Yet with FL her success,
it is a prominent TACT that she is
lust entering upon her real career.
With the aroused interest by all the
State. there has come RESPONSE
hiltY on the management that will
demand soher Thought and keen
iUd9ment. Her opportunities have
at last been realized and every
alulnus. every DelaWarcan should
take renewed zeal in her progress.
As our parting word to the grad
yates. we recall Napoleon in ad-
dressing his generals, "You have
today won wonderful victory.
but what are YOU going to do to-
morrow ?'
SO with you. What are YOU 90
ing to do tomorrow! Your victory
today is only the preparation for
another day. And the world needs
yon. The usual commencement
platitllde that the world needs men
Is. today, IA stern, stubborn fact.
Although public life with its
preiudiceS and chickering's may be
repulsive, You have duty, as col
le2e men, special duty Of citizen
ship. Not only are you expected
10 make good in your chosen pro-
fesSion. but your State and coun-
try demand leadership. or at least
a healthy activity, in the affairs of
society.
You who 90 out as engineers and
agriculturists have the same re-
Sponsibility as those who 90 into the
law and ministry. In fact. the en-
gineers. the farmers and the bust
ness men will in all probability lead
the pace. The lawyer is by his very
association. most likely to become
an ultra conservative. Do not think
that your profession precludes you
or excuses you from taking this
part.
We may be reluctant to admit it.
but in a perusal Of the daily papers
we must sense a responsibility that
we cannot escape.
We do not mean that you must
necessarily enter the arena of office
seeking and power. That may. in
fact, be to you, disgusting. But all
the more reason that your sense Of
right, of honor, or judgment, should
be expressed in strong words and
telling action.
Realize that by doing this, you
court abuse, slander, opposition,
in proportion to your powers
Of activity - but it's worth
while and you young men must
play the game. Realize that any
man who does. or attempts to do.
anything. gets his full measure of
petty criticism. But realize too. it
comes from ancestry specialists.
pink tea conferences and death
struggling aristocracy
Life is a fine game. Make it in
teresting for those less fortunate
than you. That's your greatest
success.

Our reference to the Senior
Class being raised on turnip green's
and hogs jowl was resented by
some Of the Wilmington students
In fact, some Of them go so far as
to admit that they never partook
of this Delaware dish.
That is their misfortune and we
would urge that they go down
State at once and get acquainted
with this food. No man can lay
rightful claim to Delaware citizen
ship with his shocking admission.
