Big Glass is Graduated-Rev. Constant
johnson of Evansville. Delivers
Fine Commencement Address


Last week was commencement week
at North Star College and big week
it was, with the many activities
connected with the closing of the
school year. On Sunday evening, May
u, the baccalaureate sermon was
preached to the graduating classes by
Rev. S. w. Swenson at the Swedish
Lutheran church. In this sermon the
pastor emphasized the value Of SER
vice in attaining success in life and
pointed out to the young people that
the greatest service is service that is
not paid for, or measured by dollars
and cents. Abraham Lincoln, for in
stance, before freeing the slaves. did
not ask how much money he was to
receive for doing that job. And so
young people should be more anxious
to do well whatever work they are
set to do, and the pay will generally
take care of itself.
On Monday evening occurred the
graduation recital of Miss l.. Skarp
assisted by Miss Grace B. Braggans.
The program rendered by these two
young ladies was very pleasing.
