Christ" Rev. John G.. ALDER
Tells High Graduates.
breaches ANNUAL SERMON

Whether it shall be our ambition to
shame the devil or to honor Christ
are things paramount in the life of
the young man and woman entering
the outside world after securing a
high school education, according to
Rev. John G. Alder. pastor of the To-
cal Christian church, who preached at
the occasion of the Twenty-ninth an
nual baccalaureate sermon at the
Wheeler Memorial church Sunday
evening.
The young minister chose as his
text, Success" He declared that to
succeed is virtue, but that to obtain
success one must search the world of
facts with defniteness.
The minister spoke of the privileges
OF the present, the choice Of life's
vocation and the means Of attaining
success after the line of endeavor has
been chosen.
Character was extensively dis
cussed at the close. Love, truth and
virtue are the principal essentials of
this quality in mankind, Rev. Mr..
ALDER said. Greatest of all these is
love, for on this depends the inspira.
ton that man has in his home, his ma
ton and his self.
