physicians, doctors, lawyers, and per-
haps some will be ministers Of the
gospel of Jesus Christ. -
Rev. Service said that there are
many men in this world who may not
have the luxuries they desire but they
are doing we'll with the position and
education that they have. He said
that some students are willing to ride
pony through school. Such students,
he said, do not make much in school
or out of school. "The question is
he said, 3'what shall you do with your
life. TO this 1 answer, make the best
Of it. You are bigger than your job
and you must not think that you have
to walk in someone else's footsteps.
They might be too large or too small.
Make your own track.'
Rev. Service told the graduates
what a valuable asset personality is,
and he gave as examples such great
men as Napoleon Bonaparte. He ad-
vised them to be world mixers and said
that if they would be such they would
surely win. He asked them above all
to follow God and let Him lead them,
saying that bv so doing they were sure
to meet with success. ~ dom t say to
the class to go forward to conquer, but
to 20 forth to serve,' he said.
'5Tonight,'' Rev. Service continued,
"you have come to the parting OF the
ways. You have learned to love your
teachers and instructors; you have not
only acquired knowledge but you have
formed character. No one is any good
without character. 1t is the only thing
that will last. Also let US learn that
if we shall get a job, we must be will
ing to do most anything that is honor
able. We should never try to do too
much but what we try we should do
we'll. I do not say that you should go
forth to belittle yourselves, but what
ever you choose, do it we'll and you
will succeed. This is the greatest age
we have ever known, an age of great
inventions. Just what the future will
be we cannot tell. Whatever your
bent in life is, however, follow that
bent and do not let anyone tell you
what you should do. Soon you win
leave these walls Of learning and you
will say gooubye to your instructors
and fellow students and your past will
then be merged in life.'
Rev. Service said he saw in this class
great success for each one OF them
in the future and he urged them above
all to follow the teachings of the Mas
ter, whose hand had shaped their des-
tiny.
The absence of four graduates, whose
places were marked by flags, was noted
by Rev. Service, and he praised these
boys for having offered to serve their
country and said, that in this great
crisis the young men Of this city would
without doubt be willing to serve the
country.
In closing Rev. Service said he be-
leved that at the close of this great
war, which is world wide, we shall see
the dawn Of better day, new epoch
in history.

SERMON TO OLD SOLDIERS
REV. GREGORY DELIVERS ANNU-
Al. MEMORIAL SERMON TO
G. A. r. AND w. r. C..

Rev. Philip E. Gregory delivered the
? annual memorial sermon to the mem
| bers Of the G.. A. R. and the w. r. C.
; at the Congregational church last Sun
| day morning. The members of these
! organizations attended the service in a
! body.
The reason for Memorial day was ex-
planned by Rev. Gregory, he saying it
was to honor the memory Of those who
! offered their lives to free the slaves
and preserve the unity of this repu|b-
lie. He SAID slavery was wrong both
morally and politically and that it was
| against principles Of true Americanism.
,, It did not cause the Civil war, how
ever, he said, but was the occasion for
! it, senslavement leading to disintegra-
tion of the republic, which threatened
to, divide. the country. The value of
unity at present, when this country is
engaged again in war for its ex-
| istence and for the principles of free
! dom, liberty and honor, is realized, he
i said. >+".
Rev. Gregory said that during the
past century and half TINS country
has engaged in four wars, which have
won for her freedom from monarchial
despotism, freedom of the seas, free
dom from bandit, raids and also estab.
'lished to the world that depressing of
small countries by stronger ones would
not be tolerated. He said Germany
had infringed on all these rights and
yet it is asked why we declared war
on her.
In closing Mr.. Gregory said that it
would be. hard to imagine what kind
of a country this would be today were
it not for those who had offered their
lives in her service and he added that
it was privilege to bring honor to the
few heroes that remain, and when they
are gone their magnificent achieve
ments shall not be forgotten. The prin-
ciples for which they fought, .'that
government of the people, for the peo-
pie and by the people shall not perish
from the earth,' will be upheld by
the young men Of America when the
call comes and the need shall arise.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
The stock market was temporarily
upset at the commencement of bust
ness this morning over the appeal OF
President Wilson to business leaders
not to permit thoughts of profits to-
enter into their notions of patriot
ism. The executives utterances took
the trading element by surprise and
afforded such an excellent excuse
for bear attack that within the first
ten minutes OF trading, steel and
shipping shares were quoted from
one to five points under last nights
level.
The entire list was unsettled, but
weakness was confined to relative.
ly small group of volatiles issues.
After the first half hour, the mar
'ket underwent a complete reversal Of
form. Early losses were largely can
celled and number of issues devel.
oped pronounced strength.
The street was obviously at sea as
to how to conduct market operations
after the first furry. Some en-
couragement was found in Secretary
of War Bakers statement
The late market was narrow. Fin
al figures were under the best prices
of the day, but represented substan-
t1al improvement over the early price

equal to the demand, and new high

lief in the southwest were denied,

effect. The market now should
