The ExceIIeucv of Wisdom.

The High School graduates and also
the large congregation in Emmanuel
Church were greatly edited by Rev w.
A. Boyd's sermon last Sunday morning
by his discourse founded npon Solomon's
advice IN Proverbs Sill "Wisdom is bet
ter than rubies and knowledge is more
precious than fine gold!'
lie said in part that thoughts impressed
on paper, or marble, in tile arts Of litera-
ture, painting and sculpture become O,
great value for their exalted sentiments
and beauty. There should be a noble de-
sire to become some body OF exalted char
acter and to accomplish something o mer-
it. Our nation is the greatest on the earth.
To keep it such it is necessary for each
one to grasp the opportunities for the
greatest development of mind and ac-
complishment OF something worth while.
The world is toodull of human derelicts
with young men with no ambition, 10
desires except to crafty appetites and
pleasures. All they care for is wear gaudy
clothes, to go with the crowd and smok-
ing cigarettes.
The world is crowded with derelicts,
girls who have no higher ambition than
to dress gaudily and become the toys OF
men and boys; girls who would rather
dance and play cards and gossip than do
something worthy of a noble woman.
There are many useful and noble call
ings and it is wisdom to excel in
them for the benefits of humanity and
not for selfish gain only. You many cul-
| tivate the mind but the wisdom of God,
goodness, truth, love is better than know
lege of temporal things, is better than
rubies, diamonds and gold. What shall it
profit a man, if he gain the whole world
and lose his soulP
