| Baccalaureate services were held
at the Presbyterian church Sunday
evening. The church was crowded
with friends of the graduates. A spe-
cial music program was given.
Rev. l.. P. Warford delivered the
sermon, using as his text, "As thy
days, so shall thy strength be-
His sermon was as follows:
Gives Strength.
''There are two ways of looking
at this text. First-God in the great
source of supply to his people. He
supplies the strength which they
need each day. The supply is mex
haustible, and is suited to the need.
In second place we can interpret the
text in terms of our own daily liv-
ing. AS we live today, so shall we
have the power to live tomorrow. If
we live good lives today we shall
build up virtue and happiness for to-
morrow g.
''In this latter sense let us con-
slider the text for season. There
is physical lesson to be taken. There
is no time in life when we desire
happiness more than during the per-
iod of youth. There is surplus of
pysical energy, responsibility is light,
cares and worries have not come,
and life stretches out as prospect
devoutly to be sought. Tolstoi says
that youth is the most selfish period,
reaching out continually for all the
pleasure and happiness to be had. 1t
is not possible to be in fullest happi-
ness if we are sick. !
Must Build Strong. u
"If we are building up for tomor-
row we must build up to be physic-
ally strong, to be able to hold the
head high and not bent down by our
careless habits lower and lower to
the earth like the beast. There is
a tendency to seek all the luxuries,
and rich 'bribes which are found in
our civilization today, and they are
the same bribes which caused the fall
of Babylonia, Greece and Rome. Still
we admire the traits of thrift when
we seen them. Who does not feel
