Sermon by Bishop Cook.
Bishop Phillip Cook. who preached
the baCcalauratc sermon to the grad
yates of both Delaware and the
women's Colleges in Wolf Hall yes
ter,iay impressed on the young men
and women TO not overlook the obvi-
ous things in life.
The auditorium was crowded and
many had to stand. The academic
procession composed Of the members
OF the two graduating classes and the
members of the faculties Of tho two
colleges was formed on Delaware Col
lege campus and marched to Wolf
Hall. Those seated on the stage with
Bishop Cook and President Walter
Hullihen. who presided, were DIR.
George A. Harter, Dean l.. Laurence
Smith, Dean winifred ]. Robinson,
Dean Charles A. McCuey and Pro
fessor " G. Smith. There was music
by the university orchestra.
In the course Of his sermon Bishop
Cook told the graduates 10 go forth
with the expectation Of shouldering
the responsibility for what they have
received He said that far too many
have taken what the colleges have
given them as a matter Of fact and
course when the obvious thing Is the
obligation" on you to pay back what
you have received. Not in money. for
you can't pay back in money, the only
way you can pay back ~ in service.
Bishop Cook said people should not
forget the Lessons that the World War
taught. He said he had often spoken
OF the part we took in the war and
that ne never did il but what in some
way he felt that he was contributing
to false impression. The impression
might be that war was something
glorious when il is Just the reversy.
1T is just a relic Of barbarism. It Is
cruel. stupid and unintelligent" He
referred 70 the sinking OF defenseless
ships by submarines, the bombing Of
cities from the air. the hurting over
Of poisoning gas as nothing but 4
towards advantage.
The speaker said the need is for an
intelligent citizenship TO put an end
to war. He declared the people are
blind and stupid as TO the lessons Of
the war and asked If we are going on
spending billions for armament that
could well be used for roads and cd
ucation He said men have tried To
live as though God did not rule ia
this world and have only succeeded
in bringing hell into the world. In
conclusion he told the graduates to go
forth strong in the conviction Of moral
law and confident that God rules the
world
