E. H.U. BACCALAUREATE
DR.. George A. Mclaughlin breaches
Sermon to 1914 Glass.

DR.. George A. Mclaughlin, as pres,
ident of the Holiness University
preached the Baccalaureate Sermon
to the graduating class of 1914, on
Sunday morning, at the University
chapel. This is thean'eighth annual
commencement season and the ser
vices were conducted with a devO
tional simplicity that was thoroughly
in harmony with the surroundings.
The platform was effectively decor.
ated with palms, ferns and pOtted
plants. The class occupied seats in
the center of the chapel directly in
front of the speaker and back of
them were the members Of the fac
ulty. The services opened with the
singing of Come Thou Almighty
King" under the leadership of Prof
Caster. A most ferVent prayer was
offered by Prof. A. l.. Whitcomb.
Special music was rendered by a mix
ed quartette, comprising Miss Sylvia
Mccall, Mrs. Wagner and Profs Car,
ter and Leedy.
DIR. Mclaughlin selected the l4th
verse of the fourth chapter of the
General Episcle of James, as the base
of his discourse. For what is your
life; 1t is even vapOur, that APP
peareth, for a time and then vanish
eth away" We all have our individ-
ual views of life and death and to
some extend we naturally plan for
the future, no matter what our age,
and yet life is an uncertainty. What
is life, and why were we put here
by our creator? We are here to solve
the problems of life How can we
best do this. Our life was designed
for purpose and our success de-
Ponds on how We reach this purpose.
To the unbelieVer there is no solu-
ton of this problem. Our lives be-
long to God and We should fit our.
selves for proper living. Our time
is brief and on us depends the meas
ure of our success. Just about as we
learn how to live, we die. Then why
do We train our bodies and educate
our minds.
The world offers no solution for
the problems of life Solomon, Lord
Byron and Lord Chesterfield. all tes-
tify with multitudes of others that
all is vanity and unsatisfying and
does not add to our complete happi-
ness or pleasure. The true problem
of life can only be solved by the
Christian believer and here we find
that life is a probation in which we
are to fit ourselves properly for the
world to come Moses the great law
giver, Jesus Christ and st. Paul, the
apostle, all indicated this fact They
all looked forward to a life to come.
The object OF. all education is to teach
men how to live right, applied knOwl-
edge is power and our hearts, our
heads and our bodies, should all con-
tribute to our highest service in this
world and our richest reward here
after. The charge to the class was
plain and full of kindly advice for
their future good work. The class
is one of the largest graduated by
the University and comprises about
thirty-fiye from all departments. The
graduating exercises of the Academy
will take place on Friday afternoon
and that of the College on Tuesday
OF next week.

SPRAGUE.-Of the death of a for.
former prominent stock-raiser and cit.
iZen of Jefferson, township the Good,
land (Kan.) Republic says: James, A,
Sprague, a well.known merchant and
highly respected citizen of Goodland,
died suddenly of heart disease at his
home in this city early Friday morn,

had spells of distress in the chest
caused from, asthma and heart diff
Guilty. He rallied several times from
severe sick spells. He was taken i'll
again the fore part of last week, but
recovered somewhat Thursday night
he retired and slept until after mid.
night, when he got up, dressed himself
and sat down, In an easy chair. Mrs.
Sprague had occasion to go, into an.
other, room and, hearing him coughing
In distress fastened to his side and
found that, he had passed away. Their
only son, Ernest, who had been in
Kansas City for few days, arrived
home just few hours after the death
of his father. The funeral was held
at. the Christian church, Sunday at
1880, Rev. Channer preaching the
funeral sermon. Mr. Sprague, being
a Mason, was buried in the, ritual, and
the ceremonial of that order. The
church was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity with the friends and neighbors
of the deceased, who came to pay
their last respects to an hOnored man
and TO show their sympathy for the
afflicted family. The floral display
was very appropriate, and a large
selected choir rendered the hymns in
a touching and solemn manner. Rev.
mon from the 8th Psalm, and from
these words: What is. man that thou
are mindful of him. and the son Of
man that thou visiteth him." Thus
passed away an esteemed. citizen. We
laid him away in Goodland cemetery
to await the resurrection Of the just,
confident that man, with faith in
God and, our, Lord Jesus Christ; as
we knew he possessed, and with, so
many good qualities of heart, will find
rest In the bosom of his God. James

If you neglect a continued cough or
cold you are in constant danger of easily
contracting serious Lung Trouble. The

you and preventive measures should be

cases Eckman's Alternative, remedy for
Throat and Lung Troubles, has brought
permanent recovery. Read this

short cough. | went to several doctors,
who gave me a lot of medicine. Finally,

food; consequently | failed in health. |
then went to the Catskils, and seemed
to get better, but the cough still kept up.
| stayed there for one year, and then

There is much speculation in and
out of legal circles as to the part that
"Dago Franks" confession, made
within less than two hours of his
death, will play in the second trial Of
Becker. The friends of the former po-
lice lieutenant hold that the confes-
sion if admitted viii amount to an
exculpation of Becker as the instigat-
or of the Rosenthal murder, and fur
thermore they declare that it shows
the worthlessness Of the testimony
given by Rose, Webber. VaIlon and
Schepps On the other hand, District
Attorney whitman does not consider
the confession as vital to the case,
either from the standpoint of the de-
fense or the prosecution, In the
opinion of the district attorney the
confession in many ways corroborates
the contention of the state that
there was a conspiracy, and that as
result Of that conspiracy the gun
men were hired to murder Rosenthal
week in advance Of the assassinac
ton
The second interesting point in con-
nection with the new trial is the pro
liability that Becker viii take the
stand in his own defense. 1t is said
that the ex-police officer strongly de-
sired to take the stand at the first
trial but was dissuaded from doing SO
by his counsel. If he takes the stand
at the coming trial he will be subject
ed to a severe cross-examination He
will be asked in particular to explain
how he managed to accumulate a
large fortune on a salary of $2400 a
year At the first trial it was said
the district attorney had traced some
$40 900 in Becker's accounts scattered
in banks all over the city. If Becker
takes the stand it will open the way
for the state to introduce evidence to
prove that Becker had made bust
ness of shaking down" the gamblers
and that it was this which had led to
his personal difficulties with Rosen-
thai Under the circumstances the
district attorney believes that Becker
will not dare take the witness chair.
