BY Jim Nance
We've heard a lot of music that
Is snappy as can be.
The rhyme is great, the words are
good,
They ring out gingerIy.
There's ballads and there's opera
stuff,
But they both seem to drag.
The dope that's full of IiVeIiness
Is any snappy rag.

was held at the early morning SER
vice in Christ Church.
At 11.:OO o'clock the church was
filled beyond seating capacity by an
appreciative congregation of every
denomination, and it was our priv
ilege to listen to the baccalaureate
sermon delivered by him to the
graduating class of the st. Joseph
High School.
He chose for the subject of his
thought, Thou shalt love thy God
with all thy mind" and he wove
about the words of this inspired
command a beautiful fabric of ideals.
OF schools, of education, oftrue liv-
ing, urging upon us the necessity
for cooperation with the teachers
in their great social work, explain
ing their grave responsibility; and
higher still the cultivation of the
mind for its purest purpose-the
love of God.
He is a mastery interpreter of the
spirit of religion, giving his service
to that one great creative Mind,
which only reveals its treasures
through much seeking, and finding
all that is good and wonderful, tells
it in new and beautiful forms of ex-
preston, using it to the end, that
the legitimate birthright of happi-
ness, of sunlight vision (which is
synonymous with wisdom) may be
propagated throughout all the world.
Long will the memory of his ben
ediction rest with US.
