Raccalaureate Sermon

j
AS usual the Congregational church
was filled, both. the auditorium and
vestry, Sunday evening, for the bacca
laureate sermon, which was delivered by
Rev. Walter E. Baker of Ottawa, Ont,
formerly of Morrisville. The music,
which was furnished by the chorus
choir of the church was of a high order
especially well rendered being the an.
them, "The Light at Eventids," by Har-
vey Gaul Mrs. Ila Niles Jackson added
much to the service by rendering my
Redeemer and My Lord, from "The
Golden Legend" by Longfellow, music
by Buck. She was accompanied by
Mrs. Mary Camp. Revs. w. T. Best,
J. ]. Bennett and F. A. Stockwell assist
ed in the service.
The church was very appropriately
decorated with flowers and the class
colors. The class marched to the center
of the church, the professional and re-
cessional being played by Mrs. Camp.
The sermon by Mr. Baker was out of the
ordinary line of Commencement sermons
anu OuS VI luC SllOuGCSl ever n6aTQ IN
Morrisville. Mr.. Baker took for his
text, 1.-THE Price of Remission" and said
in part:-
The most important lesson that any
one can learn-and oh, what it would
mean to you young folks to learn it on the
very threshold of life and to the world
whose activities you are now about to
euter-is that we are to give ourselves,
Not primarily with the thought of re-
ward, but primarily with the thought of
service, letting the other things be sec
ondary.
Nav we consider our text this evening
as it applies to the life of the soldier who
seeks to do his duty on the firing line, to
the citizen who seeks to do his duty be-
hind the front lines and to the Christian
who seeks to embody in life all that his
name implies.
When yonder on the plains of South
ern New England was fired the first shot
whose mighty reverberations rolled
around the world, whose blood drops
first trickled from his heart to mingle his
life with the flowers? Perhaps history
has embalmed the name of this first mar
tyr to American liberty. | have never
heard it, but of this am assured, that
in God'sgreat universe, some
where in Gods treasure house, amongst
his most precious treasures, is kept an
angel guarded record of the blood-drops
given as a ransom to Selhshness and |
Greed and Tyranny, that America might |
