Penn College commencement week

reate address delivered by DIR. Alex
ander c. Purdy, Professor of Biblical
Literature and Church History at
the Friends church on Sunday even
ing.
The church could not accommodate
the crowds who sought admission.
Every bit of available space was fill
ed and many were turned away, un-
able to find room. The churches of
Oskaloosa followed a time honored
custom, making the Penn Baccalau-
reate union church service, and uni
led with the Friends in observing the
first event of Commencement week.
The invocation was offered by the
Rev. C. II. DeVoe, pastor of the Christ.

If the Reformed church, read the
Scripture text and prayer was offered
ny the Rev. e. II. Stranahan of the
Friends church.
DR.. D. Nj. Edwards, President of
Penn College, introduced DR.. Purdy.
md spoke OF the success OF the Penn
graduate since his completion of work
1t Penn in 1910.
With the subject, The UNEMPLOYED
COUNTRY" and based on the Biblical ref
renee of the crossing of the River
rordon DR. Purdys address was dis
curse which sparkled with gems of
leep thought and wise counsel.
The advance over the Jordon was
10 iIl.planned movement, but one OF
lgnity and WISDOM. The Ark of the
'ovenant led the way, and Isrears
lost followed.
Life is a never ending adjustment
rom the old to the new said DR.,
'urdy. Within each new experience
les the possibilities of success or fail
urc.
Now in the last few days of college
ife, the graduating classes should
Ian the advance, over the River lord
on.
The Ark must 90 before. AS the
Ark of Bible history stood for the
leais of a people and a religion, SC
must the Ark of to-day, stand for the
same ideals and faith.
Isrcal's Ark stood for each mans
)wn best thoughts of himself, an in
Iividual's own best thoughts of the
lther fellow, and a nations own best
thoughts of God.
Personality is the secret of life
md includes the physical side the in.
cllCctual development, the ethical
'quarcness, the spiritual constituencies
md the moral earnestneSs.
When DR.. Purdy was in a New Eng
and college the boys of the east
would frequently ask him what main
characteristic of the boys of the Mid
lie West stood forth more than the
others. In reply DR.. Purdy said he
always tod them, the moral earnest
.ess of the students of the Middle
West was their outstanding charaCt
>ristic.
The Ark of today must include
thoughts of all Humanity. The fel
'owship of life is not different from
he fellowship of college.
Thoughts of God must be ever en-
'arging and growing, broadening into
l wider conception of the Father.
The Rev. w. l.. Waters, of the Con
~regational church pronounced the
Benediction.
Special music included violin solo
by Carl WoodfOrd. and vocal duet
by c. d. Gordon and Coach V. H.
