Public School Closing.

Port Gibson, May 28. 'I2.
To the Reveille:
The closing exercises of the Port
Gibson High School. which took
place on last Friday evening,
marked the end of one of the most
successful sessions this school has
ever enjoyed, and under the same
management the prospect for fur
ther improvement is very promis-
ing.
On Thursday evening, the 23rd,
the intermediate and Primary De-
partments occupied the stage in
the main hall OF that institution,
and the audience was entertained
throughout the entire program.
First on the program was cho.
rus. "Silver Bells" +" by High School
Girls.
Recitation, "Dolly In Trouble, :"
Marion Powell.
Motion Song, "The Jolly Sail
or" Primary and intermediate
Boys.
Motion Song, Little All San, !"
Primary and intermediate Girls.
Piano Duet, Invitation to the
Dance" Misses Mary Wharton and
Katherine Watkins.
Recitation, "Receipt for Rack
et," Robert Tillman.
Motion Song, Dutch Lullaby, !"
Primary and intermediate Girls.
Play, "Hiawatha, Intermedi-
ate Department. Some of the char
acters in this little play are de-
serving of especial mention, and
prominent among these was Miss
Jack Morehead, whose rendition
of "Tacomas" could hardly be Inn
proved on by amateurs.
On Friday night the program
was varied by the most tasteful
and beautiful musical selections
under the supervision of Miss Mary
Wharton, the talented teacher of
this department.
The opening was the Invocation
by Rev. DR.. Holloman.
The address was made by Prof.
Culkins, superintendent of schools
for Warren county, which was
made IN a very pleasing manner
ard was well received BY the an.
dience.
Mrs. A. B. Sanders, principal.
delivered the diplomas to the grad
yates, viz: Miss katherine Wat
kius and Messrs. David Hall, Jones

Blessings Of Misfortune.

Apropos to the recent series OF
misfortunes and calamities befall.
ing the people of our country, it is
not strange that curious minds are
asking many why's and wherefores.
The all knowing I-told you-so's are
persistently and vainly attempting
to find a reason for ignoring the
warnings that have been sent out.
The Titanic was warned concern
ing icebergs, and the hood-suffer-
ers were warned of the impending
danger of breaking levees; but in
neither case were the warnings
needed. In all probability there
never was a danger of which those
who suffered through it, were not
warned beforehand. In millions
of cases, few of which are ever
recorded or ever given a second
thought, the warning is Needed and
calamity averted. But the ques.
ton remaint, why is it that in the
face of such grave dangers warn
ings are SO generally undecided
There are two reasons which
might be given in lieu of better
ones. The first is, that ground
deep into the human nature of man
is the element of gambling-of
taking a chance with unknown
forces. There is q possibility OF
avoiding the icebergs; Of the levees
holding back the water, SO why
should we slow down when We
wish to hurry7 Why should We
move when we ray not be com-
PEELED to do SO . all7 The second
reason, and It is closely allied to
the first one. is Lat the majority

of mea prefer to fight to the last
ditch in order to save all that they
have rather than move away to
safety with only a part of their
possessions. Whether either one
or both of taese motives is to be
deplored will perhaps remain open
for debate, as there is much ground
+! for argument both pro and con.
Nevertheless many thousands of
people are left homeless and desti
tute on account of the floods, and
it is worth while for the whole
world to notice that not only has
Congress appropriated large sums
for the relief of the sufferers, but
private citizens, both far and near,
are giving gladly and literally for
the same purpose. Yet the giving
of money is but the smaller part
of it; for shining out beyond, and
over, and through the material
help is the great and tender fact of
a perfect human sympathy. From
the hearts of all who know of the
suffering, there goes out wave of
sympathy so true and tender that
it carries no thought of superior
self-wisdom, and so far from at
tempting to fix any blame, it ut
terly ignores the possibility of
there being blame to fix. Aud in
that sympathy we have the eternal
answer to,all questions: love is the
sum of it all, and God is the source
of love. Gods love is ever ready
to lift US up and draw US near to
Him. When the world goes
smoothly on the advancement of
our selfish ambitions, we grow
more independent and drift farther
away from Him; but when disas-
ter, with unfinching purpose, calls
US from our selfish ease to witness
scenes ofhuman suffering and needf
we Immediately respond to the
promptings of a power within US,
which for time we may have for
gotten-the power of love for our
felIow-man. That power trans
cends human reason /; it is beyond
mems logic. Yet through that very
power we are constrained to look
further and in looking we catch a
glimse of that eternal Love, who
said: "Greater love hathno man
than this, that a man lay down bis
life for bis friend. and who d:7d
that He might draw 81 me p
Him. Thus out of the seeming
darkness there shines forth light,
and standing in the rays of that
light many will learn that no mat
ter how dark TIE present may
seem, there never will be 4 time
when God will not light the way
