SERMON TO GRADS
BY REV. BACON
BACCAI.AUREATE SERVICES
MARKED OPENING OF COM
MENCE1dENT WEEK

Baccalaureate services were held a.
the high school auditorium Sunday eve
ming for the class Of 6fty-fve who
graduate today. The auditorium was
well filed for the services.
The services opened with song by
the congregation, followed by scripture
reading and invocation by Rev. E. s
Estrem of the First English Lutheran
church and a selection by the higf
school girls glee club.
Rev. A. G. Bacon Of the First Congre
gational church delivered the baccalaur
cate sermon, taking as the text for same
passage from the Book of Kings, 20tl
Chapter. Referring to this passage il
tho bible he said that whenever God has
a great task to do, he turns to thu
young person and d'challenges him to dc
it. To show this, he cited instances il
the days Of the Old Testament, naming
Christ as the person who performed thu
greatest task, thatsof the work of sal
vation. All through history, this same
fact is evident, he said, pointing out
that the great missionary movement o1
the nineteenth century was started b,
a mere college youth, and that the great
wars were fought largely by youths
The reason that young people are chos
en- for the great tasks, he said, is be
cause youth has the vision, the courage
and fearless heart.
Pointing out what the school is doing
for youth, Rev. Bacon said that if thu
school gives youth this vision, it shoulG
be kept sacred and inviolate. Youth is
given the choice of taking two ways
through ife-the hard way Of virtue
that leads to success or the easy and
comfortable way that leads to disaster
and to choose the right way requires
vision. The gift of vision is the great
est and noblest thing which we possess
and we should cherish it and not only
that, but we should make it reality.
In conclusion, Rev. Bacon addressed
the graduates personally, giving then
advice on the eve of their stepping out
into the world. He said "We are gath
cred here tonight to congratulate you
who are about to graduate. You have
reached the significant milestone of lif.
and you will take up the various line:
Of endeavor. In so doing, you are tax
ing on the responsibility of citizen!
and we welcome you into this work
The world today is in a plastic STATE
and ready to be remolded, after th'
great conflict which has torn, it. Yo,
are to be the builders of the new world
In this new day Christ is rising again
out of the darkness of the old day ant
he is calling to US to repair that whicl
has been broken. Choose not the sci
fish course, for he who plans to liv'
selfishly or lavishly now is detri
ment to the world. This is the time O.
unprecedented opportunity-this day i
yours to go out and realize, to set VI
the brotherhood Of peace. This is tn,
time to put to the test your dreams AM
visions for better world and the fu
ture life Of the generation depends Of
you."
The service closed with a hymn b,
the congregation and benediction b,
Rev. Bacon.
