DR. CLARK DELIVERS
 SERMON AT AUBURN co M MENCE EMENT
Mondays Programme Includes the Annual Meetings of Alumni and the Board
 of Trustees

Auburn, May 2s.-(Special.)- )-To an audience that completely filled Lang don hall. the annual commencement sermon was delivered here this morn ing by Rev. Willis G. Clark, an alumnus of Auburn, of the class of 20, and for the last several years pastor of Trin- lily Episcopal church. AshevilIe, N. c.
 Having for his>text, What Will You Do With Jesus" as found in the twen- ty-second verse of the twenty seventh chapter of St. John,' the speaker made peculiarly effective appeal to the seniors. who arc now entering the big battle of life and success to take with them and put into practice the spirit and teachings of the great teacher of men. Picturing the scene and condi- tons under which the words of the text were propounded to those who had the fate of Jesus before them, pr. Clark declared that each individual must still answer this question and accept and de- fend either Jesus or Barabas.
 After impressing upon his hearers the great importance of putting into practice practical Christianity, pr. Clark, offered an optimistic picture of conditions today by presenting facts showing that the real principles of true religion have never been sought, as they are now, and that this desire is general and from all walks and classes of men.
 Whole Town Attends
 The music for the occasion was fur nished by representatives from all the local church choirs, aided by the college orchestra A vocal solo by Mrs. Cleve- land Thompson of Tuskegee was well received. The usual vesper song serv- ice at Langdon hall Sunday night was under the auspices of the local Young Mems Christian association, and at tended and enjoyed by most of the peo- pie of the town.
 The programme for Monday includes the annual meetings of the alumni and the board of trustees. At 10:30 Mon day morning the alumni oration will be delivered by Billy" Williams, class of 's6, who is coming from Washington to be present on this occasion. At 12:3O the annual alumni luncheon will be served in Smith dining hall, following which 8 business meeting will be held.
