reate Address

School This Evening

Commencement week at Montpelie
seminary began Sunday morning will
the baccalaureate sermon delivered b,
Rev. George Redding, the newly elect
ed trustee of the institution, at Trim
ity church in Montpelier before large
audience. The senior and junior classe:
occupied seats well towards the front
of the church About the pulpit and
back of it were the class color dec
orations, for the most part of natural
flowers and ferns, the colors being
green and white.
Mr. Redding gave the young people q
very interesting sermon, speaking
upon the theme of "The Luggage of
Life" advising them relative to the
religious as well as other sides of life
and that whatever they do they should
maintain a high character. He told
them to take advantage of the things
about them and make the best of these,
suggesting to them that the child is
generally able to accept things as it
finds them and, if it hasn't a doll car
riage will use box to draw its doll
or chip, with something on it, to
represent a ship. He told the class
that they cannot have everything just
as they want it and that they must
make the best of everything about
them.
To bring out more forcibly his sew
eral points he told the students several
interesting episodes tending to show
that people are oftentimes too willing
to accept conditions as they find them
without investigating to see whether
Improvement can be made.
The choir was composed for the most
part of seminary students, who sang
as they entered the choir loft and re-
firing as they sang the last verse of
the last selection of the morning wor-
ship.
In the afternoon the yesper service
was conducted at the chapel of the in
stitution, Rev. Charles n. st. John
speaking, and in the evening the last
gathering of the family circle occurred.
To-day examinations were under way
and this evening the annual commence
ment concert takes place. This is at
o'clock in the chapel of the institution.
To morrow evening the annual prize
speaking will take place.
The graduating exercises of the
teacher training class took place Sat.
urday evening. Quite a large number
of friends of the graduating class
gathered at the chapel when the fol-.
lowing program was presented:
Piano solo, Floy Webster; drama,
Under Sealed ORDERS" by the class;

solo, Winona Lamb presentation of
certificates by Miss Clara Robinson,
teacher of the class. Miss Robinson
presented these upon the special re-
quest of the members of the class in
lieu of any other speaker. She made
very fitting remarks, telling the stu
dents what this means to each of them
and that they must now go into the
world to show that their time has
not been lost. Victrola selections oc-
