CROWD HEARS BACCA-
LAUREATE SERMON
DR.. Smiley Delivers Charge To
Young Men

The College Oratory was crowd
ed on Sunday evening, the occa-
sion of the baccalaureate exercises
when Rev. u. Franklin Smiley, ID.
D., pastor of West Presbyterian
Church, Wilmington, delivered
charge to the young men of the
graduating class to Erect some
memorial on the plains of life
DR.. Smiley took his text from First
Samuel, 7th chapter, 18th verse:
Then Samuel took stone, and
set it between Mizpeh and Shen,
and called the name of it Ebenezer
saying Hither hath the Lord help
ed u.s."
The word "hitherto," the speak
er declared points like an index
finger into the past, and reminds
us that over all the years of our
Journey, in sickness and in health
in poverty and in wealth, in trial
and temptation, the Lord hath
helped US.
The theme of DR.. Smiley's talk
was the necessity for divine and
human cooperation in life's sue
cess. He emphasized the neces-
sity for self-help in every walk OF
life. "God promises to provide for
our physical needs" re declared,
'but he fulfills his promise when
he sends the sunshine and the rain
He promises us bread. The prom
Use is not fulfilled without mans
cooperation in the plowing, the
reaping, the threshing and the
baking. What is true of the ply
steal is true likewise of the men
tai. There is no royal road tc
learning. Growth in the menta
life is dependent upon struggle
and self-sacrifice in the form o.
study. The same is the pre-eml

Annual Service OF
College Y. M. c. A.

The annual commencement SER
vice of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association of the college was
held in the Oratory on Sunday
morning. The music was led by
a full choir composed of repre1
sentatives from the Methodist and
Presbyterian churches of the town
A pleasing feature of the service
was the solo, "A Dream of Para
disc" by Mrs. j. P. Cam. The
sermon was delivered by the Rev.
erend Milton G. Evans, president
of the Grocer Theological Semin-
ary of Chester. The speaker de-
rived from the text found in John
7, 37-38, his theme, "The Gift of
Influence" DR.. Evans defined a
temple as a place where God and
man meet, and declared the men
whose deeds are permanent and
enduring had been in the temple,
had been religious men, freely
speaking, had been founders Of re-
ligion. The point was illustrated
by references to the enduring
fame of Zoroaster, Buddha, Mo-
hammed, although the great states
men, teachers, soldiers, etc, of
their day have long since been
forgotten. The speaker also re-
ferred to the tremendous influence
of Moses, who had been in the
temple with God.
Progress is mans distinctive
quality. The normal aspiration OF
every human soul is to crave in
fiuence. Into this keen competi
ton for mastery in the realm OF
the universal and the permanent
Jesus enters, and bids those wht
crave lasting power stand will
him in the holy place. By thu
earliest Christians who met Goo
in the temple-just simple-mindet
fshermen-has been written thu
greatest and most enduring litera
ture in all the world.

Los Angeles, Cal.-'Jo-Jo" once was
a white boy. Then he became an In.
dian, and now Probate Officer Sigler

a white boy again.
The boy is seventeen and has the
most peculiar history of any youth
ever taken before the juy jntle court.
"Jo-Jo's" true name is John Jones'
he thinks. The Indians who took him
when he was a small boy couldn't pro.
nounce the name, so they did the next
best thing. They made an attempt,
and "Jo.Jo" was the result.
The difficulty encountered by the
boy In recovering his status as full
blooded white boy is malformation
of the mouth, due to lack of attention
to his teeth while he was with the
Indians. This the probation officer be.
lieves has made him backward men,

Some Thoughts on the Gettys-
burg Grafton, Well Described
as immortal.

THE FACT that President Wilson
! writes his messages in shorthand
and then transcribes his notes on a
typewriter has given rise to some spec
ulation as to whether this contrib
utes to the style of his state papers.
The variety of methods used by au-
thors makes it unsafe to dogmatize ON
the subject But that the writing out
of his messages by hand benefits the
style cannot be doubted. While short
hand suggests speed, 1t does not nee
essarily imply it when the writer is
committing his own thoughts to paper.
He might linger as long over a pot
hook as over an ordinary character.
But the writer who uses a pen feels
certain inspiration in 1t, and as he
writes various synonyms come troop
ing through his mind and he has the
time to select the one that expresses
his meaning with the greatest nicely,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
A magazine writer, in discussing
the presidents method. suggests that
when one operates a typewriter the
cessation OF the click of the machine
interrupts the continuity of the
thought. This disadvantage is not so
obvious as that arising from the fact
that the speed of the typewriter pre-
cludes careful selection of synonyms.
But either method OF writing is pre-
ferable to dictation. for dictation
causes prolixity and the speed pre-
vents fine discrimination in the use Of
words. II Is also responsible for
many extreme utterances. The famous
letter General Egan wrote about Gen.
eral Miles affords an illustration.
Much Of its heat was generated in the
process of dictation.
Lincoln's Gettysburg address is es-
teemed a model Of conciseness. 1t
was the result OF lifelong habit OF
composition. As a boy Lincoln had
neither slate nor scratchpad. He
wrote on a shingle with piece of
charcoal. The only way he could erase
his writing was by shaving the single.
We have the testimony of one of the
telegraphers In the war department
that President Lincoln. when compos-
ing telegram. whispered 1t over to
himself before committing 1t to paper.
The telegrapher knew nothing OF the
shingle, but we may trace the habits
of the man to his childhood Is It too
much to argue that had Mr.. Lincoln
been accustomed to debating to a
stenographer we might have never had
the Gettysburg classic? And is II not
possible that the limited library of
the Lincoln boy proved blessing to
him? 1t was composed OF the very
best books in our language and he
read and reread them and then wrote
the essence OF them on his shingle
and told them to his playmates in his
own language. The self-education of
Lincoln is one OF the marvels of his,
tory.
