FARMINGToN SCHOOLS II
CLOSE THIS, WEEK


The first Of the closing exercises of
the Pennington public schools was the
baccalaureate service held in the M.
E. Church, South, on Sunday evening,
May 18th. This was o very beautiful
and delightful service, attended by a
great throng Of people more than half
Of whom were unable to gain admit
tance to the building. The baccalau-
reate sermon was preached by the
brilliant pastor of the Presbyterian
church, Rev. L. r. King. His theme.
based on Matthew 20:26, was one Of
service. In his masterful way, Rev.
King took up and discussed the ques-
tion What Does 1t Mean to Be
Great 2" in the several phases Of The
Warrior, The Producer, The Thinker,
showing that at various times the
world had decided that each had been
declared great. He finally appealed
to "The High Court of Heaven for a
final decision and learned that true
greatness consisted in service. His
sermon was sincerely appreciated by
the class and much enjoyed by the au-,
dience. As is the custom in the local
high school, the Junior class decorated
the church and furnished the music for
the service. This was a union service
and the pastors of Pennington gener-
ally participated in the exercises.
