The clfcoir sang beautifully. the opening anthem, "'Just As I Am" (Pilgrims Chorus), by H -fWlagner, and Mrs. L>erricK ana mr. Hp Morgan rendered very effectively ti';e duet, ''The Lord is My Light." The baccalaureate sermon was dej^Hivered to the graduates by Dr. George : W Taylor Rygh, one of the editors of the Wm American Lutheran Survey, of ColumML bia. As is customary on these comR tnencement occasions there were no services m tf.:e other, churches and all the pastors joined in tf-e commencemeat exercises which were held in the (opera house, The nouse was nuea iu its capacity. The weather was ideal. Hbe music was fine and the exercises were highly instructive and beneficial. Dr. Rygfo spoke entirely without : manuscript and endeavored in plain sad forcible language to impress the ?|teaaing of the real life and drew the , distinction between the real and unreal life. , Bfteeralefetrafo Semon. j ^ , e "What does the Lord require of asks Micafc, "butto do justlyi Mr to lore mercy aiid to #111 humbly *?&. thy God?" 1 That is the true -ideal of lifc.

H':e evil in us, the selfishness, the avarice the envoy, the sinful passions and desires. It consists in taking up the cross in discipleship with Christ. In losing the natural life, that is, the life of self-gratification, shall we find the true, spiritual life, the life of unsel fisf'r.ness and service. "Heaven does wita us as men wltfc torches do, Not light them for themselves." For we live in a world of sin and injustice. It is required of him that hath the light to let it shine. Ser vice for (jOd in numanity is see secret of a successful life. Suclh was the service which Christ rendered. He gave his life, and in giving it, He found it for 'us. -We, too, shall find the real life in- service. We live in stormy times: but in times of great opportunity. If ever men were called to unselfish service, the time is now. The great war has demonstrated that neitJber philosophy nor I fuman wisdom and precaution can save the world. Sin is in the world, and men are not good by nature. To prate of the goodness and excellency of human nature and man's ability to save himself and society nrrHwvif f-no rfr<ris.fr ic a nntpnt "iHn sion. The facts of history, are- against the defication of man and the glorification of men's philosophy. Men are never truly saved hut as Cfcrist saves them?individually and collectively. He can teach us true wisdom. He lifts men our their sordid selves?and selfs sordid even under the guise of education, refinement and wealth?and translates them into a spiritual world where the light shines and tlhe air is pure and whole some. Tie great ones of earth are its greatest servants. The real benefactors are its martyrs, Paul, Augustine. Sabonaoda, Wickliffe, Cramer, Hus, Luther, Calvip;, Knox, Washington^ Lincoln, Wilson?the men who bore the cross in companionship with the master who served humanity under jibes and jeers, hatred and death, who ledt&e vanguard of human progress and liberty and spirituality?these are the kings and princes of the earth. Would you know the real values of life? Would you find and possess the Teal content and purpose of life? What you make the most of yourselves? Make not the sordid things your purpose primarily. Not wealtib, not honors, not pleasures, not even intellectual satisfactions. These are not enough, you will miss the point, you will miss the 'aiin itself.

E. Allen Sang with eloquence and beautifully. "The Lord is My Strength," by Bruno Huhn. Let us go back this evening to the original Christian association organized by Jesus Christ witih picked men. That group^must always be the stand! ard and ideal for every Y. ?M. C. A. The personality, power and success of those men is revealed to us in | this text: "They were all filled with, the Holy Gfcost. " (Acts 2:4). This text recalls the wonderful story of Pentecost wfcich we vvill keept in mind this evening. Looking at tl e apostle before and after this experience we observe that a Christian is a person who lives in the same world, lives practically the same life as other men but tJ':e spirit in which he lives and moves and has his being is dif| ferent. Before the apostles were filled wit s the Holy Spirit they were emptied of themselves, the spirit of the world, of Judaism. What a task on the Savior in this preparatory process to be with these men, so petty, so dull of under; standing, so narrow and bigoted. Truly, His divinity is revealed by their patient torbearance won by His miracles. The same condition obtains to 3~ -r- VT?V mi -1 AOn Kfi wifh n^vd's I XICUJ il tf uxa'i vwu wo ?? wv. ?, spirit until ;ae otJ.er spirts possessing him aai^ > been driven forth.

Whatever the 'explanation of the name of this j miracle of tongues this fact is patent their message was understood and brought conviction to their 'bearers.
