Sermon To The Graduates


Rev. Alvin j. Forty, pastor of St.
Johns Reformed church, delivered the
sermon to the graduates Sunday morn
ing in the school auditorium. The chief
thought of the sermon was that altho
knowledge, health, wealth and intelli-
gence are essentials in this life, pure
heart and willing mind are more i'm
portant. "Only when we have these
two qualities Of personality, a pure
heart having right motives and a will
ing mind earnestly seeking for Truth
which only God can reveal, does one
get genuine satisfaction, only when we
put our all in Jesus, surrendering our
selves to Him."
The graduates wore navy blue caps
and gowns. The stage was decorated
with flowers and ferns.
