Robert L. Patterson, D. D, pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran church, Charlotte, and on Sunday ? evening the Y. M. C. A. address was delivered by the Rev. H. A. McCullough, pastor of St Paul's Lutheran church, Columbia. * The able addresses of these distinguished speakers were helpful in their practical value, and the thoughts which they presented were in excel lent harmony.

In loyalty to the finest and truest that is in college life, it is one of the best classes Newberry college has given to the activities of the world. All the churches of the city were closed on Sunday morning, and at 11 o'clock, when the exercises began, the opera house was crowded to its full capacity. The pastors of the various city churches took part in the services. Splendid music was rendered by the Orpheus club.

The scripture lesson was read by the Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, pastor of ^ the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, of this city, and an earnest prayer was offered by the Rev. .J. E. Carlisle, pastor of Central Methodist church. "The Ministry of Gifts" was the * I theme of Dr. Patterson's Daccaiaureate, i addressed to the class of 1912. The % earnest thought and the irresistible logic of the speaker were couched in beautiful and appealing language, and the address, in its thought and presentation, was superb. It appears in full in The Herald and News today. President Harms led the audience in the Lord's Prayer. T)nriner the taking of the offering, the beautiful offertory, "God So Loved the World," by Stainer, was effectively ? and appealingly rendered by the choir. After the announcements by President Harms, the doxologv was sung by the choir, and the audience was ' ^Li.- .. nual Commence ising Newberry ntrntnir in 1117 1 nnFTk MNUL Id AWAIU/E1/ DECLAIMER'S MEDAL creditable declamation cox- : test by sophojiokes.

There are things, said the speaker, where the rule of right and wrong is so plainly markd out that there is no queston as to the Christian's duty, j There are some boundary lines, as be- i i tween the States of Ohio and Kntucky, plain and easily seen. Others, as between South Carolina and Xorth Carolina, while they are established and can be located by surveyors, yet any man may cross from one State to the other without knowing or intending it. Truth and error are clearly divided; so temperance and abstinence. But who can locate the line between temperance and intemperance, education and ignorance, sonity and insanity?
