REV. j. Il. NUZUM DELIVERS
BACCALAUREATE SERMON


BACCALAUREATE SERMON
Before a crowd that more than
taxed the capacity OF the opera
house. Rev. J. L. Nuzum. pastor of
McKendree circuit, Methodist Epis-
copal church, delivered the bacca-
laureate sermon to the graduating
class OF NJ & M, Sunday night.
The class which is the largest in
the history of the local high school,
occupied section in the center of
the down stairs. The members
were in caps and gowns.
Music was furnished by the girls
glee club of the school, and Miss
Thomasine Savage sang solo, Rev.
Frank Gillian of the Malta M. E.
church made the invocation; the
scripture lesson was read by Rev.
Walter NJ Wilson of the M. P.
church; prayers were made by Rev.
B. r. w. Pitman of the Main st.
Church of Christ, and Rev. P. s.
Neldon of the M. e. church. Rev.
A. NJ. Grove of the Presbyterian
church pronounced the benediction.
The sermon by Rev. Nuzum was
a splendid one. Realizing the
crowded condition of the house-a
large number standing, he held his
sermon down to less than twenty
minutes. But in so doing he did
not omit any of the many vital
points of his message, and it was
given so that his hearers could
readily grasp them He was given
closest attention His text was
from Exodus, 18th chapter and a
part of the 18th verse-"For by
strength of hand the Lord brought
us forth out of Egypt" He based
his sermon on the Israelites going
out of Egypt, with Jehovah as their
leader. They were going to new
realm, just as the class of rs is
doing. The Israelites had great
leader-one who could be fully
trusted. The class has the same
leader. We face at present the
same condition that Israel faced.
The wave of unrest is sweeping the
world, and we have the greatest
crime wave in history. The speak
er stated that he does not believe
the world has lost God, but that the
civilized world has been brought
face to face with God, and the
world must not escape the respon-
sibility that is placed upon it-that
Gods voice is speaking today The
present generation in a manner to
speak has been failure. The COM
ing generation has it within its
power to bring about and put into
practice the teachings of the Col
den Rule. The pastor called at
tention to the fact that America has
been blessed, and after all the
2 blessings we have received, he
thinks We are not taking our right
full place in the world. The present
generation coming on, has it in its
hands to bring about conditions
never before dreamed of, if they
but follow and believe in Jehovah.
In his name. they can go out and
conquer the world. He is the lead
er of all leaders, and can always be
fully trusted.
This is Americas day. The world
is looking to America for leaders.
What great thing it is to be
leader in influence in the right di-
rection. The world is not separated
as it once was, but is brought to-
gether as a great neighborhood.
God is calling us to a brotherhood.
The world is looking to us for great
leaders. Let us not betray the trust,
but live life that will be bless
ing to mankind

NEW SERVICE:
TO BENEFIT
THIS CITY
Longest Line in World Will
Link Two M etropoli,
With S.A. as Station.

The longest tclcaraph-telcphone wire
in the world-rcaching from New
York to Mexico City-soon will inau-
gurate service in which San Antonio
will participate.
At the expenditure of S5,O00,0OU
the Mexican Telephone and Telegraph
company will link it's lines with those
of domestic companies, providing al,
most instantaneous service.
Heretofore telephone conversations
between the metropoli were almost
impossible and kilograms were either
sent in a roundabout manner by cable
or rclayed several times over land
wires.
When the system is completed,
about January l, the lines, which now
are operated by the government, will
be returned to their owners.
The new system will pour press dis
patches into San Antonio through use
of an automatic telegraph printer
This machine recently was installed in
the office of The Light and already is
transmitting press matter from the
East. Tests have been made which
show that this system can be success
fully operated through to Mexico
City.
The new lines of communication will
be linked at Laredo after the Mexican
end has been completed.
