There was the old time crowd at
i the opera house on Sunday morning,
galleries and all being filed and
many turned away, because there
was no more room. It made one re-
call the good old days when the peo-.
ple came from far and near and the
commencement season was big
time in old Newbeny. The people
are. being aroused and the interest
ii the college is being awakened and.
{ the bigger Newberry college is
thing assured if the boys and the
girls just, keep on with the good
work.
The religious service was conduct
ed by the Rev. Edw. Fulenwider,
pastor of the Lutheran church and

music.

IS III his opening remarks Dr. Knnhel
said that knowing the record Of the
institution and the fne work Of the.
faculty and the interest q the board
Of trustees and realizing the great
future which lay out before this IN
atitution, he esteemed it 9 great priv
ilese and ! great pleasure to be here
ON the commencement occasion, and
to sneak q message to the young men
who are to go out from here this fear
He also referred to some OF. those
whom he knew who had spoken on
similar occasions at this place, and
particularly one who was now his
colaborer as secretary and from this
one he had been requested to bring
greetings to the college and to the
many friends in Newberry, DR.. M.
C. G. Scherer.
He said the message he was going
10 deliver was based upon a text
which to some might seem rather
remarkable for such an occasion, IN
fact, funeral dirge, but most OF US
at times fail to realize and appreci-
ate the beauty and the power OF the
things we know best, and that are
around and about Us all the time.
His text was taken from the last
verses of the Goth Psalm which
treated the theme, the beauty OF life.
s'Let thy work appear unto thy
servants, and thy glory unto their
children.
"And let the beauty of the Lord
our God be upon US; and establish
thou the work of our hands upon
u.s."
This text opens to US great posi-
bilities. If any Of us are trying to
live our lives without trying to DO
Isomehing worth while then we need
to revise our code and our mode and
methods. Otherwise that life will
end in failure.
Life after all was intended for
work and it means work. We need
In this day more than anything else
to have preached the dignity Of work.
The labor problem at this time is OF
supreme importance. Labor Is one
Of the most dignifed and most JOY
ous things in existence. We must
pet rid of that idea that we must
: : start out with the view of looking
: forward to the time when we would
come period of leisure in our lives.
No greater curse could come to any
man, and he could have no greater
hardship than to reach point IN his
life when he would have nothing but
