COMMENCEMENT SERMON PREACHED BY DIR. DILL
 AT HOWARD COLLEGE
Exercises Will Commence This Morning and Con- tinue Until Graduating Day Wednesday, Ora torical Contests Attract Attention College to Adopt Budget System in Matters Financial and Campaign Will Be Started to Raise Funds

Before an audience of more than 600 persons Rev. J. s. Dill. D. D., of Gaffney, s. C., preached the commence ment sermon in the Howard college auditorium yesterday morning at II o'clock Dr. Dill also preached a spe- cial sermon for the college Y. M. c. A. and volunteer band at Ruhama Baptist church in the evening. At both ser mons the house was crowded to it's ca- pacity. pr. DilIs subject was: "The Stars of Ia Life," and the text was from the First Book of Samuel.
 Dr. Dill discussed the shortcomings of the great King of Israel, who was selected and anointed by God through his servant, Samuel. He pointed out the great and vast opportunities of Saul to do good, and gave much credit to the great King for the godly things he accomplished, while his criticism of his weakness and final downfall was severe. Throughout his sermon he made comparison of the young man of today and the great old Bible char acter, and showed where the young man of today failed to do the right thing at exactly the psychological mo- ment to save himself. This, he said,
 
 Saul and would be the cause of the failure of anyone else who let them selves become negligent of their duties to God.
 SCIENCE OF NATURE
 The scientific comparisons of Dr. Dill were of the finest order, and were appreciated, especially by the students who study the science of nature. He advised the young especially to seize the vast opportunities that spread out before them in the great panorama of the world, and to pursue them with diligence and in fear Of God-~if they wished to be successful.
 "The heart of my sermon today" said Dr. Dill in closing, lis the cross of Christ. This is the inevitable thing that must be borne in mind. Sin ends in tragedy. This is shown in the life of the saint, when he had been rebuked by God through Samuel, whom Saul had persuaded a witch to call from the dead. His sin had found him out. He had disobeyed God, and fell upon his sword, thus ending his own life-the tragedy of sin-unchecked sin is sure to end in tragedy-God has given you your running orders for life, and do not fail to read them right the Bible is your guidebook.'
 At the evening service special ser- mon was preached on the work out lined for the Christian to do. It was intended especially for the volunteers for foreign fields of service and the Young Mems Christian association of Howard college.
 The college Glee club acted as a chorus at both the morning and eve ming services, and at the mronnig serv- ice a vocal selection was given by Mrs. Weyland Jones.

Their mistake lies in the fact that
the English do without many things
Americans consider absolute neces-
stiles Most such things are so high

Gratis can have them.
Practically the only exception in

even clothing is higher. A good sack

$40, now sells for $3.50. The price
is still rising.
So are other prices. 1t is not a
gradual rise. Hardly a day passes

is not announced in some staple.
Beef is 40 cents, mutton, %,
