Aurora Casellini gave the salutatory,
Success" She said that unusual oppor
tunities lay before the class that was
graduating and that they were ready to
meet them. But to meet opportunities
one must have a good preparation. such
as they had received at Goddard. In the
middle ages the qualifications for success
had been the ability to wear armor and
meet Others in combat. To-day, with
the advance of civilization, the principal
qualification was thorough training. She
did not mean by success the piling up
of large fortune, but eontended that
any man who was self-supporting aud
could make good appearance in society
was a success If they would stick to
the task they set out to accomplish they
were sure with the aid Of the SO per
cent Of good people in good world OF
some measure Of success.
Then Laura Movalli gave brief and
interesting history of the class since it
entered Goddard In 1917 She was fol
lowed by Marjorie Worcester, who sang
There, Little Girl, Don't Cry" tSobeskil
and FLOWERS Awake" tWarner) with
good tone and much feeling.
Rev. ]. B. Reardon's Address.
Rev John B. Reardon opened his ad
dress by saying that minister can new
er make public speech without text,
80 he would take for his, Luke 2:49,
"Wist We not that | must be about my
Fathers business" He would draw
from that that it is necessary TO take
life seriously. Although ponderous
subject to consider in the time Of the
year when nature is gayest aud most
eaudily dressed, we should take example
from nature, for at Just this time she
has every league in force to bring about
a splendid harvest and just as nature is
serietis and busy, so should humans be.
Not that all attention should be d
rected to work Recreation, if innocent
and heathful, is one Of the most desir
able things on earth. But one should
not live for enjoyment alone. but to ex
pand and develop. Like the fruit on the
trees, the lives of people need TO ripeu,
but they never will unless they take life
When the world becomes thoroughly
civilized. all work will be a part of the
Fathers business Business at present
means the production Of goods that the
world demands The common belief is
that there is little connection between
business and religion. But business has
really done more for man than any other
phase of existence. The distance be
tween barbarism and civilized man is
the measure Of what business has done
The business enterprises of the world
have opened up new fields and have been
a constant stimulus to intellectual pur
suits They have helped to create and
crvstallize sense of truth, for few men
viii engage in anything the existence of
which is of detriment to the public, We
think of all business men as crooked be-
cause we hear through the press Of the
few who are crooked, but never of the
of honest ones.
Employers are coming more and more
to discard the policy of treating em-
ployes as counters in the game They
are seeking in the long run the pros
nerity of those who work for them aud
Indirectly, through them. their own gain,
And in so doing they are serving God.
more than when performing their re-
igious duties.
The only gospel worth knowing or fol-
lowing is the gospel Of unselishness.
