FINE SER MON
TO GRADUATES'
REV. KRENMYRE GIVES eAccA-
LAUREATE ADDRESS TO NORTH
ENGLISH N. 8. CLASS.

North English, May 22.-The bacca
! laureate sermon preached here Sunday
evening by Rev. J. H. Krenmyre. pas
tor OF the Methodist church, was Q
very remarkable presentation of the
great problems created in America by
the war situation. The services were
held at the Methodist church and were
attended by an audience that filled the
building to the doors, more than four
hundred people being present.
The church was profusely decorated
| in red and white, class colors, and sus
pended in the center above the speaker
was the class motto, Keep your eye
on the goal" There were twelve grad
| yates.
The program opened with the sing
ing OF America by the congregation
Rev. R. B. Hyten of the Christian
church offered the invocation, and
Rev. Father O'Sullivan, rector OF st
Joseph's Catholic church, read the
scripture lesson of the evening.
Basing his remarks on the teaching
of Christ to the Rich Young Ruler
Rev. Krenmyre spoke on the theme
"The New Patriotism, The Dominant
Spirit of American Activity" The
speaker said in part, Patriotism has
come to mean much more than Is ex'
pressed in the old definition. Love OF
country It now means that we have
become nation OF citizens who have
share in the prosperity of our coun.
try and are anxious to identify our
selves with that prosperity and to se'
cure our country's future.
81 see the dawn Of a new age rising
out Of the darkness of night filled
with agonizing cries OF despotfsm In
its last stand before an advancing civ
ilization, an age in which the world Is
to fall back on moral judgement in
stead Of brute force. 1t is America that
must lead in this new advancement,
and therefore America Is today facing
the greatest possibilities and the great
est problems of her history.
"For example, the shortage Of labor
in this country caused by the demands
for military service, must be met by
genius. Great new Inventions must do
the work formerly done by these five
million men. We must also discover
anew the manufacturing secrets of the
old world. We must learn to make our
OWN uy66, Cu0A4ASuAc, 6ANoS nAu SAAAAU
ware, surgical instruments and scien-
tific apparatus, all Of which we have
hitherto bought in the Old World the
manufacturing secrets Of which we. do
not possess"
All these problems pressing for i'm
mediate solution. according to the
speaker, offer the America youth un-
PARALLEL opportunity, and the new pat
riotism is demanding that every young
man and young woman equip them
selves for great material service in
these fields. It is your duty today to
seek out what discovery, what inven-
ton, what work of art or literature
or scientific investigation shall best
be suited to make the common people
happier the nation more efficient and
the heart Of man kind more generous
one to another.
