THE B. H. S. BACCALAUREATE
SERMON.

Over three hundred people attended the
Baccalaureate sermon to the High school class
of 1915 at the Baptist church Sunday evening
May 3Oth. The church was appropriately dec.
GRATED by members of the Junior class, who
used exclusively the 1915 colors, green and
gold. A curtain of straight folds of yellow
bunting covered the double door in the rear of
the pulpit on which. at the top, in large green
letters was the class motto: "Climb tho the
Rocks be Rugged" The front of the plat
form was covered with yellow bunting, draped
with loops of green. On the front of the
pulpit was the class pennant and on the top q
bouquet of yellow tulips. The seats in the
center section of the church. reserved for the
special guests, were roped off with yellow
and green bunting. At the beginning of the
organ prelude by Miss Florence M. Chaples,
the class, accompanied by Supt. W. B. Wood
bury. Principal e. W. Proctor and assistants
Misses Melvina V. Parker, Leonia j. Achorn
and Marian Hazeltine. marched in and took the
seats reserved for them. The regular choir

al church read the Scripture lesson, and Rev
Horace r. Sellers of the Methodist church
offered prayer. The sermon by Rev. Walter
F. Sturtevant, pastor. while specially addressed
to the graduating class, was of general inter-
est to the large audience. He took for his
subject Study, and for his text Paurs words to
Timothy, "Study to show thyself approved
unto God, etc. Education without God many
times proves dangerous to nations and indivi-
duas. The motive of study is what counts in
life. The study to be approved of God and
the study to crafty ones self divide the world
into two classes and make and mar society.
He urged the cultivation of optimism in all
walks and conditions of life. In closing he ad-
dressed the class of 1915 and they rose to re-
ceive the speakers congratulations and his
admonition to find their real place in life and
fill that place to the best of their ability, not
looking for ease or leisure. A life spent with
God is useful to humanity. He bade them
God speed and again admonished them to study
to show themselves approved of God.

GERMANY'S REPLY UNSATISFACTORY
This Country will Reiterate its Demand for
Reparation for Loss of American Lives.

This Country will Reiterate its Demand for
Reparation for Loss Of American Lives.
Germany's reply to the United States note
was before the President early last Monday
and as forecasted was very unsatisfactory.
Officials read it with prof disappointment
and pointed out the evident endeavor to OBJ
scure and evade the main ssue-the questions
of humanity involved-and sought to inter-
pose technical argument on matters of law
hitherto undisputed under the universally ac-
cepted laws of nations. Most important of
all. it was noted, that no attention was given
to the request of the United States for assur-
ance that American lives would be safeguarded
in the future. Germany's object undoubtedly
is to prolong negotiations indefinitely and
meanwhile continue her torpedoing of
neutral vessels without warning, as in the
case of the American steamer Nebraskan
While the nature of the reply to Germany has
not been made public at this writing it is be-
leved that there will be no lengthy parleying on
the part of this government and that it will re-
iterate its demand for reparation for the loss of
American lives on the Lusitania and for at
tacks on vessels bearing the United States
flag and will insist on guarantees as to the fu-
ture Persons close to President Wilson saw
that he is determined to obtain reparation for
the Lusitana victims and assurances of re-
spect for American rights in future and that
failing this he would not hesitate to sever dip
lomatic relations with Germany, In taxing this
stand he is assured that he will have the unit
ed support of the American people,

MARyLANp's SHIP OF MERCY.

The time draws close for the de-
parture OF the good ship John
