service, Rev. f. w. Warrington of
Freewater, last evening spoke to the
graduating class of the Pendleton
high school, preaching the annual
baccalaureate sermon. He took as his
subject, "The Young Joseph Facing
Life" drawing a parallel between the
Biblical character going forth to meet
the stern realities and the students
just ready to go out into the world
after completing their course in the
schools. II was an interesting and
inspiring sermon and the large audi
ence as well as the graduates gave II
attention absolutely from first to last,
The speaker emphasized particular
ly the point that 1t is possible for ev-
cry person to rise above the circum-
stances of his or her environment
and he pointed to Abraham Lincoln
as a striking illustration. But he
went on to say, no matter what the
special talent or special training of
the person, failure was inevitable in
the end unless purity of heart was
maintained. illustrating this he told
OF giant oak tree that stood in the
yard of his old home. 1t withstood

GUSTAV HANiEL.

LONDON, May 25.--Gustav Hamel,
most popular and intrepid of British
aviators, friend of kings and princes
and darling of society, is missing aft
er starting from Calais for cross
channel flight, and grave fears are
entertained for his safety.
Hamel started from vhlacoublay
Saturday in a new mono-plane for
Hendon, where he intended to COM
pete in the aerial derby, but had to
descend near Boulogne About 1880
in the afternoon he resumed his flight
and was seen near Calais about 3
o'clock. Since then nothing has been
heard of him. The weather has been
unfavorable for flying on account of
the thick haze following the recent
hot wave.
Hamel should have reached the
English coast within half an hour aft
er leaving Calais. At midnight ex-
tensive enquiries along the English
and French coasts had failed to re-
veal any trace of him and II is feared
he has fallen into the sea.
Only recently Hamel was COM
manded to give exhibition flights. in
cluding his famous loop-the-loop
stunts before the royal family at
Windsor Castle, afterwards lunchlng

with a crash in a very light storm
when its heart became rotten and

stress upon the fact that the greatest
craving of man is religion and, he
said. we are reaching the goal of our
life only insofar as we cultivate a
