CHICAGO DIVINE
 DELIVERS SERMON
HENDRIX FINALS OPEN
DR. SMALLER MATTHEWS DE LINERS STRONG COMMENCE
 MENT SERMON.
From Mondays Danv

From Mondays DaTly.
 Exercises marking the close of the thirtieth annual session of Hendrix College were begun yesterday morn- ing, when the baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Dr. Smaller Mat thews, dean of the school of divinity | of the University of Chicago, head of the Federal Council of the Churches | of Christ in America and regarded as the leader of religious thought in the United States today.
 The baccaleaureate services opened with prayer by pr. J. E. Godbey of St. Louis, former member of the Hendrix faculty. Rev. s. R. Twitty of Little Rock read a lesson from the Old Testament and Dr. John ". Cline of Soochow University, China, read from the New Testament. After the commencement announcements and solo offertory by Miss Laura Harton, pr. J. H. Reynolds present ed Dr. Matthews.
 Dr. Matthews chose as his text Isaiah 24:17, And from the residue thereof he maketh a god.' The pas sage, he sa1d, was the best piece of satire that had ever been written, but in it's deeper significance of replacing Jehovah with idols it offered much food for thought. Among the mod ern false gods, Dr. Matthews placed culture, social service, commercialism and conventions, declaring that many people made them an end instead of means to an end. True social service, he declared, was part of the Chris tian program itself. He commented briefly upon the prevalence of super stition among the people of today, as- serting that he believed his God above the power of a crossed finger or the significance of the number "13."
 ''The people who substitute man. made gods for Jesus do so in order that they may have something which Jesus would not permit them to have" Dr. Matthews said, land the things they want are secondary, and not primary things. They make of things useful enough in their proper places a god and worship it. A stick of wood, for instance, is all right for heating purposes, but as god it is a thing unworthy of us"
 Dr. Matthews delivered the sermon to the Young Mems Christian Asso-. citation in the afternoon at ocloc, 1 the hour being placed early in order that he might leave for Chicago on an evening train. He chose for a text at the service, "Dost thou believe in God," an exposition of altruistic i, service in the present day.
 Very large audiences were present at both services and the speaker was given close attention.
 The Reclamation and oration con- | tests and academy graduating exer- cises were held in the college chapel at 1O:3O o'clock this morning, the fol- lowing program being rendered:
