Christ IS IDEAL
FOR THE Graduate
Bishop Berry Says Grad
yates Should Pattern
After the Best
HOPES FOR END
OF ALL STRIFE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER Del. June Wesley NJ
r. Church was we'll filled yesterday
morning on the occasion of the be-
ginning of commencement week of
the Wilmington Conference Academy
with friends and relatives Of the grad
yates from all over Kent county.
The sermon to the thirty-three
was preached by Bishop Joseph T..
Berry Of Philadelphia, who took for
his text: Let this mind he in you.
which was also in Christ Jesus Phil
lipians ?: 8.
Bishop Berry said. you must have
good ideals before you can become
good i'm reality. Every man must
set before himself a lofty ideal to
achieve success II you pattern after
an imperfect model no matter what
ability you may have you will never
reach prominence. You can never be
better than your ideal. No human
being living on earth would answer
as a model Jesus Christ Is the only
one after whom we should pattern.
To pattern after that which is limited
and imperfect. means that we. too,
shall be limited and imperfect"
The Bishop said that IN this age the
question which is being constantly
asked is: "Will It pay?r and rs there
anything in Il for us?' These ques-
tions, he said, are all right In COM
merce. politics and society. but they
have no place i'm the Christian life.
The questions we should ask our
selves he said, are. Is II rightY viii
II please Him? and VIII IL help some
one who needs helpY
In speaking of the work. the Bishop
said II believe that God Almighty
in working out His plans and pur-
poses. is permitting the powerfulness
OF the present great international
strife that the world may cease Ia
war hereafter" He further declared
that small wars were OF no conse-
quence and that a small war today
would only be followed by another
small war tomorrow He believed
however, that the present great con-
fiict raging In Europe will wipe out
the "unspeakable Turk" smite mill
tarism in every nation on earth and
lead TO the birth of Christianity anC
everlasting peace throughout the
world.
Bishop Berry commended the worl
Of the Wilmington Conferenc,
Academy and paid a tribute to Dr. II
G. Budd
In concluding his sermon Bishol
Berry gave words OF encouragement
TO the members OF the graduatin
2 class who arose and stood as he ad
1 dressed them. He urged them {
Q keep Jesus Christ as their ideal
a life and declared that II they die
success would surely crown their ei
Y forts.
