occurred yesterday afternoon when
the baccalaureate sermon was deliv-
cred before the graduating class at
the Episcopal church at 8 o'clock by
Rev. j. X. Burleson of the Episcopal
church.
The theme of the splendid discourse
was working Together With GOD"
and around his thought the speaker
constructed a sermon that was full of
inspiration and help to the young men
and women who are just entering up
on the activities Of life. The speak
err deviated from the ordinary policy
of such m and made his en-
ton of the things learned in school
to the W duties that confront the
graduate who goes u into the world
with his education as his armor of
life.
The speaker dwelt at length upon
the fact of imperative growth In life
and showed that no one could stand
still. Either he must progress or re-
cede. The training of the mind and
the development of the soul during
the school years are only the prepar-
atory training for the things that
must be done if the individual pro-
crosses. 1t is not that the mind car

reasoning out abstruse problems With
clearness hat makes the real schol-
ar" only as these things enable the
mind to grasp and solve the newer
and ever occurring problems of a
bigger life in h real world of con-
flict and effort.
Two of the things acquired in school
were emphasized by the speaker as
essential elements of success-obed-
fence and service. No man, he said.
could succeed either with his fellows
or with his God who failed to meas
ure fully up to the Masters standard
in these two things. He that is
greatest among you shall be the least"
was the sympathetic yet vivid man
ner in which the Great Teacher set
before his disciples the merit of SER
vice. In all the years of school work
the obedience of the student to the
powers that are over him are but the
training that shall in later life enable
him to measure fully up to the stand
ard of obedience set for nan by the
| Savior.
But with all this training the stu
dent who is not equipped with the
spiritual training that shall have de-
veloped the soul as we'll as the mind
and body. will be lop sided. 1t re-

makes him the real leader among
men and the real influence in the
world. Unless there is the capacity to
work with God in the uplift and bet
torment of mankind scholarship and
all it means is nothing more than the
tool Of physical success and power.
But if to these are added the educa-
ton of the sou into its true under
standing of its relations to the Master,
the individual has all that is neces-
sary to make him capable of the high
est accomplishments with his fellow
men and the most exalted relations
with his God.
