BACCALAUREATE
sermon HELD FOR
G. \. s. SENIORS

Bearing an inspiring message to
young students DIR. Herbert c. LIBBY
of Colby College delivered the Bac-
calaureate sermon to the Senior
Class of Gardiner High in the audi
torium Sunday afternoon. Parents
and friends Of the graduating class
comprised large audience that stood
as the Seniors marched down the
aisle led by their President Lawrence
Davidson to the front where section
was reserved for them.
The Scripture lesosn was read by
Rev. Milo G. Folsom, pastor of the
Universalist Church, and was appro-
pirate to the occasion, following this
prayer was offered by Rev. A. F.
Episcopal church. Several musical
selections were rendered by Mr.. and
Mrs. Tom Blanchard, and Mrs.
Eleanor M. Fleming with Mrs. E. G.
Moore at the piano.
The speaker was introduced by

address he was to continue the work

questions, but contrary to the usual
procedure Off such examinations he
was to answer them himself. The
first of these questions was "Have

Lightning Bolt
Causes Damage
To Belfast Home
Especial to Kennebec Journal)

Especial to Kennebec Journal)
Belfast, June Ct Is said that
lightning never strikes twice in the
same place but this happened in
Belfast last night in the terrific
shower which followed the hottest
wave the city has ever experienced.
The ell of residence of Byron B.
Greenlaw, Northport avenue, was
struck just before midnight. The
chimney demolished and a good deal
of damage done. The ell is used
as workshop by the owner and an
electric motor was wrecked. The
front of the stove blown out and
the shop was set on fire. Since his
buildings were struck and nearly
wrecked in July 1909 Mr.. Greenlaw
has always gotten up when there Is
a storm in the night and at this
time the whole family were dressed
and able to fight the fire which with
the assistance of the neighbors they
succeeded in extinguishing 1t before
it communicated with the main
house. It was impossible to get a
telephone message through to call
the fire company owing to the in
tensity of the electrical disturbance.
1t is believed that the bolt struck
the chimney. The property is in
sured. The storm was one of the
severest in years and seemed to be
two or three which met and con-
centrated directly over the city. The
bolt which struck the Greenlaw
place sounded like a pistol shot and
many a citizen thought it was his
own house which was struck so loud
was the report. There was such a
drop in the temperature this morn
ing that many built open fires while
on Saturday there was the most in
terse heat of many years.

greatest adyancements in science in
the past one hundred years. In con-
sidering the great inventions, he
traced briefly the history OF paper
making from the time 1t was first
discovered that imprint could be
made upon papyrus to the present
time when in the United States alone
there are approximately $4,000 news
papers and periodicals in rs differ
ent languages. He made reference
to the conquest of the Rockies by
"The Iron Horse" to the building or
the Panama Canal, the steamboat,
telegraph, wireless, telephone, elec-
tric lights, compressed air brakes, re-
lief of pain by anesthetics, and other
great inventions and discoveries. The
spirit of the age, is one of intense,
hurried and feverish activity.
The second question was: "Have
YOU a moral right to live passive
life in such an age?" The age has a
message for you, deep in the heart OF
every human being there Is a spirit
of achievement, and Of dissatisfac-
ton of things, and a decision to bet
ter conditions. A member of society
who is to be valued Is the one who
cultivates that spirit of achievement
and is unwilling to be contented with
existing conditions. The answer Is
YOU have no moral right to be con-
tented with anything that can in the
slightest degree be improved upon.
The handspring of atcion Is the de-
sire in the heart to achieve. The
speaker told the Seniors that they
must have decided whether they were
going forward with that spirit Of
achievement, or whether they would
go with the spirit of the drifter. He
said that 1t was his hope that the
right decision be made, for we have
no moral right to live mild life.
The third question was Can a life
be well lived anywhere" in connec-
tion with this Dr. Libby pointed out
the appeal of a life full of great
deeds, such as that of Thomas Edi-
son, to the boys. or Jane Adams to
the girls. The members of the grad
uation class are more than likely to
pass up the four splendid Maine Col
lege only to lose themselves in a
great University. But no matter
where they go. all depends upon the
spirit of the student and the school.
The answer, Yes, life can be well
lived anywhere-and can be wasted
anywhere.
The final question was: II you have
rightly judged your day. and know
that circumstances can be over
thrown, is this all that may be neces-
sary for your life to be one of great
est usefulness? The secret Of your
greatest usefulness depends on your
dependence upon an Infinite Being.
The saddest mistake that young peo-
'ple can make is in thinking that a
life can be well lived without God in
it, or in thinking yourself as great
or greater than their Creator.
Summing up the four points, list,
Know your age to be one of tre-
mendous activity; End. You cannot
live the life of drone and merit
compensation; 3rd, Today is here, to-
morrow may never come: 4th, To
live apart from God is to cast your
lives upon the sea and face at the
end of the journey the fate of all
human derelicts.
The Baccalureate service was con-
cluded with the pronouncing of
Benediction by Rev. Fl. L. Skillin of
the First Baptist church.
