Commencement Sermon.
The commencement sermon was
delivered at the North Church Sun
day evening by Dr. Elmer B. Bryan,
president of Colgate University. The
church was filed, the graduates oc-
cupying reserved seats in the center
Of the church. On the platform were |
seated Prin. M. G. Benedict, Rev. A.
p Grint, Pres. z. B. Bryan and Rev. |
< d. IllCndIOS- III. DSnO0lCJ
sided. DR.. Grint offered prayer and |
Rev. Richards made the closing pray
er and pronounced the benediction. |
very pleasing feature was the sing
ing of the Academy chorus led by |
Prof. Wood and Miss BroWnell.
Pres. Bryan spoke a few words of |
the pleasure it gave him to be intro
duced to the young men and women |
of St. Johnsbury rather than being |
taken on a tour about town to see
the bridges, cemeteries and Jail.
The subject of his address was
''The Meaning of Youth" and he
gave a very forcefuI and inspiring |
talk on the Importance of youth. He
spoke first of the length of youth.
The law completes youth at 21, phys
iology at 25 and neurology at 33 |
years. No animal is so helpless at |
birth as the human child but no other
has before it such possibilities of de-
in the long period of 1
youth The period of youth is the 1
most important one of life because
in it the most important work is
done in making the three choices of |
life. These are, whom shall I serve, |
with whom shall 1 unite and what |
shall l do. He said he was glad so "
the preparatory schools and |
even college before deciding what !
hey would do because it gave them
he opportunity to discover them
selves and the decide TO the best
advantage what they should do. I
When the decision is made before
he study is undertaken many devote
7ears to the development of an i'm
nature decision.
Last Saturday evening Principal II
md Mrs. Benedict gave a reception
% the members of the senior class
1t their home, which was attended Il
,y the seniors and invited guests.
One pleasant feature was the pres
snce of DIR. Bryan as the guest of n
he evening.
