Large Graduating Class-Interesting Exercises-Many Visitors. Interest nevers weakens r o ubride, in the c,mmencement at Newbcrry college. One class comes and goes. Another follows. Each is new and has its ties and friendships which keep the interest ever alive and the visitors continue to come. The graduating class this year, we believe, is one of the largest in the history of the college, numbering 26. twenty-one young men and five young ladies. The college has had a successful year, the enrollment reaching 185. It is proposed to take steps to put up another building on the campus at a cost of $5,00o to be used as a gymnasium. During the past session the new Holland Hall has been dedicated. It is one of the handsomest and best equipped college buildings in the state and cost upwards of $20,000. It is used for recitation rooms and has a large and well equipped auditorium. The future of the college seems bright. Baccalaurate Sermon. The sermon to the graduating class was preached by the Rev. C. A. Freed, pasfor of Ebenezer Lutheran church, of Columbia. Mr. Freed is a graduate of Roanoke college in Virginia and associate editor of the Church Visi tor. Mr. Freed chose for his text Rom. 14:17. "For none of us liveth to him self." The Christian religion, he said, pro vided acceptable relation with God, and also sympathetic relation between man and man. It inspired love of God, and as well, love to the brother hood. This alone met the needs of >ur sinful condition. There was and could be no love of the brothberhood. when there was no love for God. The gift of the decalogue condemn. :d man in both relations. It taught him the ideal harmony with man, oupled with the ideal harmony with God. Just as certain neglected con eptions of Jehovah were written in these tablets of stone, as indelibly was inscribed the fact that the cir :umfererce of the individual duty did ot have its centre in self. Our Saviour put religion back on its' old ut true foundation iby declaring that he first commandment consisted in oving God with all -our mind, ;trength and soul, together with the second commandment of loving our eighbor as ourself. This second ommandment was of like nature, kind and extent of the first, because 'ove was the central factor in each. The peculiat crying condition today was for more demonstration of the hristian spirit in temporal relations. Each individual had tihe dominant ,trength of selfishness so strongly ixedinhimself that any ideal for com non benefit was of slow recognition. 'he law of the survival of the fittest, .vhich was observed among the ani 'nals, continued upward through the iigher orders of life Man fell under ts principle in clearing his destiny1 vith no'thought or at the expense of1 thers. In business it was seen today a the heartless combinations of capi-1 1, which were designed to crush a1 :ometitor and make the starving I morld come to the Egypt of their )ounty. In the calm of education the same :onditions had entered. With such :onditions Christianity had ever wag da relentless wvar. The Apostle gave the true solution. iverv one must act from the stand oilt of his own individual, but with )roader aims than personal gain. As )road as were human needs should be he mainspring of .h'man action in the vorld. Rev. Mr. Freed held the close at ention o' his large congregation dur g the whole of his eloquent dis ourse on the brotherhood of man. o mere synopsis can do justice to thought or the language which it untained. To give a part of one's eififor the welfare of all was his eand he developed it in a mas- ,I erly marner. The true conception of S :at a neighbor meant was what he r ought to impress-to serve the broth- I rhood of man. He closed with anc luquent admconition to the class of ~ Their true life was with the .ogh of th breader vision. A- the conclusion of Mr. Freed's address prayer was offered by th'e Rev. \Vm. L. Srabrook. The benediction was pronounced by Jaie:- A. it. Scherer. Address to Students. The aiiress to the student body delivered Sunday night by the Rev. V. A. Snyder. of Wilmington. Mr. Snyder chose as his text, "But I am among you as he that serveth." His theme was service-service to 'thers. Service, he said, demanded th'e best that we could give, and ser vice demanded self-sacrifice. He : ,f success, saying the successes n life were not those which come easy, but rather those for which we are willing to give up much. The real ly successful men and women are those who have learned to say with Paul, "I give my body a living sac rifice." Such a life of service was th'e only life of happiness. Happiness could not be attained in receiving, but in giving. To serve was the highest office of the angels themselves, and it was the noblest, happiest, truest ideal of man. Well had it been said of God, quem nosse vivere, cui servire regnare est, God whom to know is life, and whom to serve is being. We shall never find the happiness of kingship, of greatness, of living, un less we learn how to give our lives in service to God for Christ's sake. The audience which heard Dr. Sny der packed the opera house, and gave the speaker close attention. His ad dress was a masterly effort" through out. BANQUET TO SENIORS. The Juniors. Entertain the Seniors A Pleasant Occasion. One of the most delightful events in the past session of Newberry col lege was the banquet given in honor of the Class of 19o5 by the Junior class. At ten o'clock the guests assembled in the Armory and partook of a goodly supper, prepared by S. B. rones. After th'e supper James T. Owen, president of the Junior class made -a very impressive talk, which was re ;ponded to by J. E. Hipp, president )f the graduating class. Mt. J. E. Harms, for two years resident of the Senior class, now an ilumnus of Lenoir college, being ialled upon, responded. President J. A. B. Scherer was very witty in his remarks, 'and delighted he audience. Dr. Cromer made one of his inter esting talks, his- hearers being filled withi mirth and laughter. Those present, outside of the two :lasses, were Dr. Jas. A. B. Scherer mnd wife, Dr. and Mrs. Cromer, and . E. Harms. The Junior-Senior banquets are dways 'an event of pleasure to the ~tudents, and this one was certainly most enjoyatble one. To Represent Senior Class.

Mr. Watson says. "I wish as far as possible to reach nearly all the counties in this state in the work of this department. * * The wages paid these immigrants by farm em ployers is $15 per month, with good board and lodging.
