Annual Sermon Preached by DIR. j.
Walter Daniel, D. D.-Seven
Girls and One Boy Graduate.

Everyman sought many companions
for his long journey with Death, all
of whom deserted him save Good
Deeds, the moral taught being that
nothing but righteousness availed
one when confronted with the last
dread enemy, death. The young ac-
tors spoke their lines well, and de-
serve much credit for their rendi-
ton of the play.

with a chorus, "Greeting Song" A
piano duet, AT full Tilt" by AVIAN

On Sunday morning at Trinity
Methodist church the annual sermon
was preached by the Rev. J. Walter
Daniel, D! D., presiding elder Of the
Charleston District, South Carolina
Conference. DR.. Daniel also preach
ed the sermon before the Young Peo-
pies Christian Association Sunday
evening. DR.. Daniel came to us with
the reputation of being a great
preacher and he goes from us with
the reputation fully sustained. His
two sermons were masterful and elo-
quent.
The music for the two services
was furnished by the school chorus
and added much to the enjoyment of
the occasion.
In the morning DR.. Daniel took for
his text; "In Him are all the treas
ures of wisdom and knowledge" and
for about an hour delighted the large
congregation which had assembled
to hear him. He began by showing
the difference between wisdom and
knowledge, saying that knowledge
was only valuable as it was applied
by wisdom to the practical, every
day affairs of life. The speaker
stated that possibly the greatest
heresy of to-day is the fact that we
separate religion from the affairs
of everyday life, that we look upon
politics, and farming, and merchan-
dising as one thing and religion as
an entirely different thing. And then
he plead earnestly and eloquently
that we not separate our religious
experience from the experiences of
daily life.
The speaker then Interestingly
showed how the gospel really
proves the treasure" and the
great commercial and industrial
world. He used the striking
illustration that if the CONT

the Titanic the world would not
have been any more shocked. BE
cause" he said, 1.-The gospel has not
taken hold of Africa in it's transform
ing power"
In conclusion, he exhorted the STU
dents to seek to know Christ, with
out whom there can be no knoWl-
edge, and in whom "are all the treas
ures of wisdom and knowledge
Sunday evening DR.. Daniel read as
his lesson the parable of the talents
and his sermon was most unusual
and impressive. The larger part OF
his sermon was devoted to discus
sion of ownership and possession. He
declared that no man could own any
thing, the opinions of all the courts
