Baccalaureate Sermon
Draws Large Crowd
The baccalaureate sermon to the
graduates of Harrington high school
was preached by Rev. b. H. Collins,
pastor of the local M. e. church,
Sunday morning. The services at the
M. P. church were omitted and the
members given the opportunity to
attend the special services. With
both congregations attending and
special services, it was necessary to
place chairs in the main aisle to ac-
eommodate those in attendance. The
class of 1880 occupied front seats on
the left. The entire corp of teach
ers sat in the next pews followed by
members Of the school board. The
parents and other relatives, of the
graduates had special places reserV-
ed for them on the right of the
church. Rev. r. w. Sapp, Rev. E. N.
Wright and Prof J. c. Messner were
seated in the pulpit with the pastor.
They all had part in the service.
Mr.. Sapp made the opening prayer,
Mr.. Messner lead the responsive
reading and Mr.. Wright, father of
one of the graduates, made the clos
ing PRAYER. Mr.. Collins preached
an excellent sermon and urged upon
the graduates the necessity of not
inst trying to get by but striving and
determined to get through. Mr.. Col
Inns said he almost envied those in
the class for the bright prospects
that lie before them and in closing
his remarks, he looked them straight
in the eye and with great emphasis
urged them to lead clean lives.
Speaking to the girls, he said, Moth
. ing was more disgusting to him than
to see a girl smoking a cigarette and
that it was far better to even live
as an old maid sooner than drop the
bars of true wOmanhoOd or be mar
ried to q man who was a user OF al
coholie drink. For sooner or later
the marriage would end in unhappi-
ness. Then to the boys, he cautioned
them against. the use of alcohol,
/ saving that demon alcohol never
caused anyone to make a success in
life. Mr.. Collins said he had been
with them on the athletic field and
= with them as they grew up IN TINS
community during the past seven
wears and felt like repeating faV-
orite remark, That's My Boy" Pay
ing tribute to the author of this re-
mark, it is believed that he has al
2 most raised to manhood four OF the
finest boys that ever grew up III TINS
