was brought to most successful
closing this morning in the recrea-
ton hall of the famous old building
with the address delivered by the K;
Rev. Charles E. Woodcocke, of Lou
isvillc, KY, Bishop of the Diocese of
Kentucky. The Bishop did not take
any text from the scriptures, nor did
he refer much to Biblican teachings
as is usually the case with school
addresses. but he delivered a
Straightforward, sensible and forci-
bic address, direct to the young la.
dies thirty or more in number, who
we've going out from this famous in
stitution Of learning, to take their
places among the people of this land,
and that they were not to be figure
neads but to be representatives Of
the letter class of womanhood. The
speaker stated that the great purpose
of education was not the mere mat
ter of seeking knowledge alone, nor
did it mean the gaining or acuuir-
ing Of power, but that it was gift
Ind revelation. He stated that the
average human being was like the
average egg, almost worthless.
Bishop Woodcocke used many
striking and telling illustrations to
81 ing out his points aid his remarks
were always to the point, never sar-
castle and cutting, but a goodly, low.
Ing advice. He stated that the foun-
dation of the Christian religion was
love. not the sentimental kind of love
that is felt by the younger class, but
a deep rooted, sacrificing love that
would cause one to have his soul cru
cited for his God, his neighbor and
his state.
