The Baccalaureate sermon and
exercise held Sunday morning, June
ist, in the Chapel was most i'm
pressive. The auditorium was filled
by students and friends TO see the
solemn march Of the graduates as
they were escorted TO the section
Of seats reserved for them. Profess
sor Robertson presided and prayer
was offered by Dean Clark and
Treasurer Osborne. The Union
Church Choir sang an appropriate
anthem following the complete
story Of Moses by Professor Raine.
The sermon 10 graduates by
Pres id0nt Frost was on the subject
of Leadership. The character OF
Moses was taken as the ideal to be
followed by the i60 graduates Of the
College. Normal, Academy and Vo-
catiOnal classes. President Frost
said, Moses was a law giver like
Lycurgus: a scientist like Pythag-
oras: statesman like Solon; a
warrior like Pericles. But all these
distinctions are passed over by the
inspired historian, who names the
one great character of the man in
our text: There arose not a prophet
since in Israel like unto Moses.
whom the Lord knew face to face.
The word prophet means a spOkes-
man for God. What Moses was TO
his age you and | must be in our
own homes and among four own
neighbOrs. We can summarize his
career by saying: he was born in
adversity, educated in solitude, and
called into public service against
his will He worked against all hu-
man probabilities. he was rejected
by those he benefited, and he
brought others TO land Of plenty
which he himself was forbidden to
enter. All these are types of things
in the experience Of every true
Christian. For all we know il is
Just as blessed 10 be Moses for a
few families in our creek bottom
as TO be Moses for a whole nation
De not be a prophet for the sake of
being adored by the people you
benefit but because God calls you"
In the final address to the grad
uates President Frost said. my
young friends of the graduating
classes: The glory and the greatness
Cf Moses lay in the fact that he was
one who spoke for God, and one
whom the Lord knew face 10 face.
This high commission of spOkes-
man for the Almighty, and this in
timacy Of being known by the Lord.
is not confined TO the few and the
great The mother Of Moses, whose
very name you have forgotten, she
also spoke for God when she order
ed the hiding of the child, and the
Lord knew her in her humility and
her afflictiOn. The rulers Of hund-
reds and the rulers of flfties, and
the rulers Of tens, who were ap-
pointed TO share the burdens OF
Moses, all those became spOkesmen
for God in their several places, and
the Lord knew them also.
We cannot tell today what is 20

one Of you. But we do know that

The Wilson Line boats were pro-
fusely decorated with flags on Thurs
day in honor of the return of 2575 SOL
diers from over seas on the steamship
Haverford, which passed up the river
to dock at Philadelphia. She passed
Penns Grove about $50 in the morn
ing.
Her slow and stately passage up
the Delaware river constituted a tri-
umphal progress which the men on
board will remember long. From
shipyards and other industrial plants
along the river, from towns and boats
and from throngs of people there
came, in defiance of official edict, a
tribute of noisy welcome which must
have thrilled the brown and sturdy
soldiers on the transport.
Army officers might issue ukases
and edicts as fast as they please, but
the people lining the banks of the Del
aware refused to let those gallant
Yanks pass without acknowledgement
of the ebullient feelings of the popu-
lace. From portfolios below decks to
the topmost pinnacle of the ships up
per rigging, the soldiers swarmed to
get the full benefit of their reception.

is entirely different from the usual
type of war story and is written in

Shirley HOLSTER, is as original and
charming as she is courageous ana
hiqh-spirited. To follow her on her

of the Enchanted Barn will give one
fresh courage to seek his Owl pot of
gold-and lot of happiness-at the

What might have been a tragedy
proved to be a comedy, when a gaso-

Perkintown station, caught fire within
fifteen feet of five freight cars of pow
der standing on the track, last week.
Harry Bushman, an engineer of the
pumps, attempted to smother the
flames with his overcoat and hat and
realizing the futility of his actions had
presence of mind to knock off the cap
of the gas tank to prevent an eXplo-
sion. The Ordnance sentry discharged
his rife six times and then some one
remembered the powder. There were
ten men in the gang under Harry Mar
tin. Bushman stopped running when
he reached Plant No. l at duPonts,

The Mayor and Council at a special
meeting this week decided to take
some action in reference to better fire
protection in the Borough. The first
step decided upon is to employ a mar
for all night service at the fire house
who car drive the apparatus and keep
it in repair and be at all times ready
for quick service. Other ideas in this
line were discussed and may be adopt
ed soon. This paid fire service man
will be in quick touch with all parts
of the town by telephone calls at the
fire house on Penn Street. A man
who can fill the bill is advertised for
elsewhere.

Prosperity To Continue

Notwithstanding the fact that many
men have been laid off at the
Powder Plants, business is going on IN
Penns Grove as usual. There are
some who at first saw nothing but
ruin ahead for them and their busl-
ness. but when they discovered that
most of the men being laid off were
merely being transferred to Deep
Water Point or up to d. y. D.. their
fears left them.
Now they have learned thru men in
terested in the industrial d~evelopment
of this vicinity that our industries Will
be permanent. The dye industry which
is conceded to be in its infancy is now
EMPLOYING between eight and ten
thousand men with steadily increasing
numbers. The Delaware Ordnance
Depot. at Perkintown, with its thou
sands Of men, should prove to be a
large asset in the business and social
life of the Borough.
The most needed utility now is
the extension of the trolley line to
Pedricktown. A look at the roads
from Penns Grove to the d. o. d. re-
minds one of the early days of the
powder boom here in iitneys with their
loads of human freight and pedestri-
ans lining the muddy roads all along
the way. The extension of the trolley
line would fill the need as far as the
TRANSFORMATION of passengers is con-
cerned. The amiesite road should also
be continued thru to P~edricktown.
There is no better or safer investment
by a township than the expenditure of
money on good roads. Let US all put
our shoulders to the wheel and push
for Penns Grove and prosperity.

When Rose STAYS Away

We certainly missed Ida,
When she did stay away.
We felt a pang of sorrow,
When Wilma left, one day.
But we never knew that there could be
A world so sad and drear,
Till the day we saw u Roses chan
And knew she'd not be near.
For somehow when we know Rose
OF P~erkintown is dropping,
Our hearts they ems a sorrow Deep
And loneliness comes trooping;
But when she deigns to raise her head
To greet the morning dew,
The whole worlds full of sunshine
And the Glooms, a beaten crew.
