The second class phenomena, which we may call :he automatic, consists of table tilting and turning with contact, writing, drawing, through the medium hand; convulsive movements ana mvuiumm.v uauuug, niuauoment, tranc?-speaking and personation by the medium of deceased persons, attributed to temporary possession, seeing spirits, visions, and "hearing phantom voices. This class b-~ars affinity to some of the phenomena of hypnotism and certain nervous complaints, to certain epidemics of the middle ages, and to phenomena that have occurred at some religious I revival.

Truth, that great torch which looks into the heart and actuates the lives of many. Trulth, that mighty giant that fathoms the d-epths, scans the h-jghts, removes many barriers and bridges the chasm. Truth, that mighty queen, beautiful and lo\ely, who rules nott with the eye and hand, but the hand of rea 'son and love was brought into play. Her services were demanded, her keen intellect was sought and her penen trating eye was called for. She came, j looked, investigated and found the fraud and scandal. With untiring and relentless energy she went . :o work, framed laws, organized courts, i impanelled juries, tried cases and con ticted tnousanas 01 me perptrucuuis of these frauds and scandals; thus we see and so exclaim, Oh, Thou Truth, i ?vhat a power thou art. There is yet one thing more to . which I desire to refer as illustrating, not only the fact that truth is a % tthing of much pow^r but also it has its triumphs. The war between the Slates was on. Ruin and d-evastation were seen on every hand as the effects of this 'bioodj' conflict. Thousands of the best and truest were shedding their lifes blood vindication of their country's honor. Prayers from t many sad and troubled hearts had ascended heavenward expressing the, hope that hostilities would soon cease and peace would reign supreme. But the cloud of war remained low, j Tippw and dark. Lee and Grant were still plowing great furrows in the heart of the two sections of the di* vided union, and /the ground was } stained afresh with the blood of those who freely sacrificed their all for ? home, for country and for justices Much valuable property and many institutions of learning suffered greatly at the hand of the heartless and blood-thirsty eenerals on the Union side. Our own college, my friends, lnv in the nar.h cf the great destroy r- - , er. While she was not completely anniliiliated, still the property was badly \ abused at the hand of the haters of .. the South. "What a blow was brought upon our schools by the bloody con-: 4 flict. That which was so bright, en couraging and promising soon vanished away and hope ceased to cheer and j inspire. Early in the spring of '61 Ith.e college was closed, the students having been summoned home be-. i cause of the excitement and confusion i' - * * rm_ _ ! , of an approacrung civil war. rne . professors resigned with the burn- ' ing conviction, no doubt, that the i Queen of fortune would never smile 1 upon- her again. At last the bloody . % conflict was brought to a close, the arms were stacked. Peace had been 1 declared and surviving Grays and Blues returned home. Many were left upon the battle-field clasped in the cold arms of death and with regard to them I wish to express the s-entiment of the poet, who has so beautifully spoken thus: P W ''Sadly, but not witb upbraiding, The generous deed was done; i In the storm of the years that are r i fading, J No braver battle was won; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Under the blossoms, the blue, J Under the Garlands, the Gray. % < * \'n mnr? cball thp war r>rv sever. c Or winding rivers be red; Th-ev banish our anger forever, When the laurel the graves of our } dead; t Under the sod and the dew, I Walling the judgment day; j Love and tears for the blue, i Tears and love for the Gray." ^ \ The college was reopened under the ( | presidency of Rpv. v)i\ Smeltzer, but ? i Because u: tue condition 01 tn-e uuiiu- - ins: the synod of South Carolina ac- j Icepted the offer made by Walhalla and t in the fall of the year 1S68 the college t \ as r-moved to that place, and with j varying success remained uiril September 1SS7. when it was brought t hack to its original home. Oh! what ] hardships she er'iure<;! What trvii:^ ings, no endowment, no friends of wealth to come to her rescue. extreme poverty staring her in the face, all her friends poor and discouraged. But behold her today! She has grown und r the guidance of the spirit of nnd nnd bac taken her nlace amonsrst the leading colleges of our great ! Southland. Sh? has a strong and active leader in the person of one of her own sons, a well tra*jr.d, experienced and efficient faculty, a large body of happy and cheerful students. Friends numbering thousands. Territory stretching from the mountains to the seaboard, buildings large, commorious and substantial, and she is j today exerting a power and influence almost world-wide. Yes, she, thank God. has passed over the crisis, sucjcess is crowning her efforts and the ! world recognizes the fact and gives ;'o the same its smile of approval, and ; men of means are giving to her a ! helping hand, ;hat Newberry college stands upon the eternal truth and inculcates the principle of the same in the hearts and lives of those who I come to receive blessings at her hand. I Yes, cur college evidences and illustrates the fact iihat truth has its triumphs. In conclusion, I wish io 1 ave with you some faint glimmerings of a picture. 1 see before me the picture of a building, emanating from the many windows in that building are lights renowned for [heir glory, b-auty and splendor. Within that building are those who are digging hard and deep. They have been taught that life is worth while and that he who gets the most and best out of life is he who puts the most and best in life. With in are also tnose wno Know irom tAperience 'that life has its duties, car- j ries its responsibilities, and assumes its obligations, and that all of these j must be met and discharged. Thsy | have passed through the mills and know that the mills of the Gods grind ; slowly. They are there lending encouragement and aid in the training j and developing of (the purest minds | and best brain in America. Around \ and close to that building is a band I / vP v-.-, rw* nilin o riotorminorl .Trir is 11 th P UI UlCii. W2JLKJ C11 g U^tvi UliUVU KT J v%.** v.?w , powers they possess that her fair, name, her reputation and her charac-1 ter shall ever be fostered and main- j tained, and that (the thing for which 1 she stands shall not be treated with : levity and indifference. Year by j year there go out from that build-! ing a company of men and women j who, because of their training, are | ready for life's duties and are resolv-! ed by the grace of God to fight the sood fight, to finish the course, to keep the faith, and to run with patience the race that is set before them. What is this you ask, a build- i ing? I answer. Yea, more than aj building! An institution? Yea, more than an ordinary institution! Fellow Alumni, it is Newberry college! Your college! My college! The peoples college! The college! And why are! these? These bright and brilliant J lights. These mental giants. These | physical heroes. The defenders or truth, the supporters of justice, the advocates of right, why are these? Because, fellow Alumni, our college, the college, securely rests upon, profoundly abides in, and heroically and unwaveringly stands for the truth, i the glorious, the eternal truth, the basic principle. 1 i? j DEATH OF MRS.

Friendship is an exchange of kindly offices, and we must prove ourselves willing to do our share. If you are unresponsive and reticent, so that peon1e are rath-er repelled than attracted, cultivate an op-'rn manner and a courteous interest in other people's concerns. Teach your hear to be sympathetic, kindly, generous, responsive. Think of others rather than yourself and you will find no lack of friends.
