The Right Rev. G. G. Hunting,
bishop of the Episcopal church of
Nevada. accompanied by his wife and
travelling by auto, arrived in Eureka
saturday from Austin. The follow
ing Sunday morning at IL O'Clock in
the Episcopal church, Bishop Hunt
inc delivered the baccalaureate SER
mon to the Eureka County High
School graduating class of 1922, and
a large number that had congregated
for this service. The bishops wise
words of counsel and advice left
many thoughts worthy of deliberate
consideration by the young people,
and many stimulating and character
building ideas to direct and govern
them in formulating their future ca
reers. Special music was rendered by
a choir made up of Eureka teachers.
and the solo, Ave Maria" by Miss
Addie Merialdo, followed the morn
ing address.
An evening service was held in the
church at 1880 o'clock, and was fol-
lowed by Bishop Hunting confirming
a class of young people in the church.
GRADUATION EXERCISES
The graduating exercises of the
Class Of 1922 of the Eureka County
High School were held In the Eureka
Theatre last Wednesday night.
The graduation class of nine stu
dents, together with the high school
faculty, the County Board of Educa-
tion and Professor X. c. Thompson,
occupied the platform, which was
beautifully decorated with American
Beauty roses, the class flower, inter
spersed with decorations in cherry
and white, the class colors. AS the
curtain arose, multicolored lights
we're played upon the graduates, who
presented a wonderful picture of
beauty and grace in their varied col
ored organdie dresses. which were
made by the girls themselves.
The first number on the program
was the delivery of the salutatory by
Miss Estelle Rogantini. Following
this was the address delivered by
Professor X. c. Thompson, teacher OF
philosophy In the University of Ne
vada, who spoke on THE Business of
Living"
Professor Thompson laid emphasis
upon the fact that life in all its man
ifestations as we see 1t to-day has
been gradual growth since the time
human beings were first able to stand
upright and declare themselves men,
and that this growth has been the
result OF mans desire to know life in
Its higher and nobler aspects. He
ascribed all our scientific and liter
airy development to this yearning in
the heart OF man TO reach outward
and upward to attain the best and
highest that life had to offer and to
give expression to their hopes and
attainments.
Professor Thompson showed very
clearly the interdependence of man
and OF nations and illustrated this by
relating how the various necessities
OF life must be furnished by other
men and by other nations in order
that we might enjoy life In its full
ness, and how we should soon perish
II our relationship with the outside
world were to be severed.
In speaking of our ability to ac-
complish things worth while the Pro-
lessor stated that three things were
necessary. First, was confidence or
laith In ourselves. Without faith in
our own ability to accomplish a GER
tain piece OF work we can never sue
ceed. This was illustrated by a con-
versation which took place between
Admiral Farragut and Admiral Du-
pont, both being Union naval officers
during the Civil war. Admiral Far
ragut asked Dupont IL he knew why
ne was unable to capture Charleston,
5. Z. when he made the attempt in
1868. Dupont replied that the rea-
son was because of the crooked chan
hei OF the harbor; but Admiral Far
ragut answered that the reason was
because he didn't believe that he
could. In other words, he did not
nave confidence in his own ability to
accomplish the task he had put his
hand to.
The second requirement, in being
'oie to do things. was faith in our fell
ow man. Unless we place confidence
n Others there are many things which
cannot be done because they require
Inc cooperation of individuals be-
lore they can be successfully accomp-
isned. This point Professor Thomp-
son illustrated by the marriage
Unless the man has
