about the hardest race of all in which

not credited with records anything

there are certain interests around

glad to have Paddock come across

DAY AT HIGH SCHOOL

The Rev. D. ]. w. Somerville, rec
tor of the Protestant Episcopal
church at Lewiston. delivered an ex-
cellent sermon to the graduating
class in the high school auditorium
last Sunday evening. The room was
filled to full seating capacity.
Special music was furnished by
the high school chorus. The young
folks, under the able dire ,tion OF
Miss Sayles, instructor In music. ac-
quilted themselves admirably.
Mr. Somerville used as q basis for
his sermon the words Of Proverbs
$40. reading as follows: "The fear
Of Jehovah is the beginning of wis
dom; and the knowledge Of the Holy
One is understanding" The outline
centered around the idea Of co-op-
GRAFTON between the church and the
school in the training Of children.
The speaker showed the necessity OF
effecting a happy union Of these
twin ideas in the process Of educa-
ton. Education that does not con-
slider the moral side of life is not
complete.
