COMMENCEMENT SEASON.
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.

Mr. J,hn Scott. of Newberry. has a
lettcr irum Mr. E. J. Watson, com

he has several farm hands who would
like to locate in Newberry county, and

as far as possible to reach nearly all
the counties in this state in the work

paid these immigrants by farm em
ployers is $15 per month, with good
