Exercises Largely Atti-nded- %ble Sermons by Prominent Mintiters-Excellent Ad dre"ea by the Young Men. The Annual Commencement of New erry College began in the opera house 5unday morning with the baccalaureate ermon preached by Rev. J. W. H orine, >astor of St. John's Lutheran Church, harleston, S. C. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, he exercises up to this writing have not )een as largely attended as at former ommencements. However, the house vas pretty nearly filled for the Sunday norning sermon. The select choir for the occasion was omposed of some of the College ladies nd gentlemen, and they furnished ex :ellent music. The morning services were fonducted oy Rev. W. L. Seabrook, of Newberry. >rayer by Dr. E. P. McClintock. THE BACCALAURATE SERMON. Mr. Horine took his text from Colos isus, 3:23, "Whatsoever ye do, do it Leartily, as to the Lord, and not unto aen." After a brief introduction, he aid that the first principle which the Lpostle lays down is that the Christian vil do something. "Whatsoever ye to,"1-ye will surely have something to Lo. The Apostle takes that much for ranted. That is, that the very foundation of a ristian's life in this world is the per ormance of some definite, useful life vork. The Christian is to be a worker, .nd not a beggar, a producer and not a arasite. And lre is to be so not only on conomic grounds, in accordance with he Scriptural proverb, "He that is sloth ul in his work is brother to him that is a reat waster;" and not onl on moral rounds, in accordance with the secular roverb, "he that does nothing learns to to ill;" but also upon distinctly religious ,rounds, in accordance with the divine ommand, given to the first man and to very man, and reaffirmed by the apostle, s being incumbent also upon Christian nen, as when he writes to his converts at Lhessalnica: "For even when we were rith you, this we commanded you, that f any would not work, neither should he at. For we hear that there are some hich walk among you disorderly, work ng not at all, but are busy1:-dies. Now, hem that are such we command and ex Lort by our Lord Jesus Christ that with uietness they work, and eat their own read." Work for the worker and re yard for his work; God's voice obeyed; Ls world developed; his people provided or; this is his gracious and comprehen ive plan; and perhaps not the least re yard of work is the pleasure found in do ug skillful work. But not only does the apostle tak e it or granted the Christian will do some ing, but it is also surely implied that he nill not fail tp find something to do. For here is always work to be done; not al nays it may be, the work which we pre er, but there is somewhere, and not far way, some work which is calling aloud or a workman. "Whatsoever thby hand indeth to do, do it," said the wise man. t may be that you have no special apti ude or inclination for it; but if God has iut that work in your way or has put you n the way of obtaining that work, then at is the work for you, and you are not t liberty to pick and choose, to sniff at nd reject, to loiter and loaf, until some hing turns up which strikes your fancy kr seems worth while. No honest, useful ork is beneath you as college graduates f God gave you a clear eye and a steady Land and a sound body and a rational nind, that itself was a sufficient equip aent with which to go to work, and it nas the measure of your responsibility. nd if to this original capital you have .dded the' usury of education in trained aculties and enlarged capabilities, so far rom being unfitted for work or lifted ove it you have but gained an increased apacity to bring to bear upon it. and oth God and man expect from you bet er results and larger success. The second principle laid down in the ext is that whatever the Christian finds o do he will do it the best he can. 'Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily " I do Lot think I have ever spoken for the first ime with a student, without saying to tim, work perseveringly ; work can be nade a pleasure, and is alone profitable o man, to his country. The highest and argest and best results are to be ob ained only by steady, assiduous, iude 'atigable application and labor I do not Enow whether you are ambitious to suc :eed, or whether you aspire to give to 'our work the best that is in you; but let ne tell you two things: that if yoq shirk, 'ou will fall short of the full measure of york which God has appointed to you, .nd will be unfaithful in the use of the alents with which he has gifted you; and hat if you invest these talents, doing tour work perseverinlgly and conscien iously, success will come of itself. The third principle laid down in the ext is that whatever the Christian does re will do it in keeping with his charac r as a Christian; he will (10 it "'as to the 4ord." The Christian believer who has he Lord always in view, who is fer vent n spirit, as well as diligent in business, wo carries his faith w ith him wherever ie goes and in whatever he dues; it is he vho works his work not for its reward, iot unto men, not unto himself, but as to he Lord. The rewards of his work lie olds to be second(ary and subordinate. ['he primary and principal thing is that ei ith in God, that commniioni with G;od mdt( that enjoyment of God, which satisfy h longings of his immortal soul. And nark you, my friends, that without the Lppreciation of this third decisive princi le. thork, and its fruits fail to bring any real anl lasting satisfaction To rme the saddest life story in all Scripture is that one which we read in the book of Ecclesiastes; of a king possessed of ex traordinary talents and well nigh bound less power and wealth; who gave himself in youth and the prime of his manhood to the erection of a magnificent building and the accumulation of untold treasure and the pursuit of worldly wisdom and the indulgence of every lust, and who in his old age contemplates his palaces and bis riches and his studies and his pleas ures, and pronources as his verdict upon each of then, "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity," Believe me, young friends, aid lay it to heart, that to do heartily with all your might whatsoever you do is not enough. f toat is to be the extent of your ambi tion and effort, I can promise you only lisillusionment, infinite weariness and ultimate despair. Augustine was right w hen he said that God made us for him ;elf and we can never be at rest till we find our rest in him. One's highest life :-onsist in the possession of God's holy sp1rit, of faith and hope, of joy and peace :f love and trust and every spiritual sup ply; and for this focd of the soul, for this meat that endureth unto everlasting life, he meat that peiisheth not; all the world ad all the things that are in the world :an not form even the beginnings of a ;atisfying substitute. Whatsoever ye do, lo it heartily, with all your might; but with all see to it that it is as a Christian man that ye do it; that you do it not unto men, not unto mammon, not unto your elves, but "as to the Lord;" and at all .imes make your own the words of that ftrange, but reverent prayer; "Lord, ;teady me to do my full stint of work as well as I can; and when that is done, top me, pay what wages thou wilt, and 3elp me to say, from a quiet heart, a 4rateful Amen." THE ADDRESS BEFORE THE STUDENTS hich was to have been delivered Sun lay, but was postponed on account of the ery inclement weather, was delivered 1onday morning by the Rev. D. N. AcLaughlin, of Chester, S. C. The ad ress throughout was full of thought, ,ower and eloquence, and was forcibly d impressively delivered. In fact, it is 2ot often that such an address is heard !ere. His subject was, making a life and naking a living. He sought to impress 3por. the minds of the students that the >nly purpose in life is not to make a liv ng, but to make a noble life. In fact, :naking a life is the whole circle, and naking a livir.g is only a very small egnent. In starting he said that probably the ost fundamental practical fact in life is hat there is a curse upon the soil and nen must toil for a living, and it is the ~hoice of all of us to get the best possible iving with the least amount of toil, and ~hen you touch the subject of a man's iving you touch the most sensitive nerve .hat he has. But were the necessity of naking a living removed from us all this mtire world would need readjustment. rhe necessity of toiling has created com nerce with all of its tenmptations to greed md selfishness and the cultivation of all .he baser appetites. The war that we are mfraid of most is not the one that is being ~aged in South Africa or in the Philip ines, but the one that is threatened be. ;ween the various peoples of earth be ~ause the remuneration for work in dif Ferent parts of the earth is unequal, and hat we are most afraid of in this coun :ry is the rising of labor because of op >ression, or imaginary oppression. In thinking of making a living we of :en get our minds centered on this sub ect alone and forget the higher things. He gave illustrations to show that the >nly success a majority of American par mts wish for their children is material uccess Making a living is the foremost hought in the minds of the American eople today rather than the thought of naking a life. It were a pity for any one :o look upon his life as simply a means >f making a living. The noblest powers f man, our Godgiven capabilities are not ouched until our purposes and ambitions .n life soar high above such sordid and ~arth-bounJl motives as that. If any one magines thadt he can find happiness in it, ie will be disappointed when it is too Late to reform. Who does not remember :he story of Sargent S. Prentiss. Accord .ng to the memoir written by his sister, .u the heyday of his glory he told her one la-y that he w ished he could go in the right sunshine and lie down upon the reen sward and go to sleep and never ,ake up. And yet, measured by this ;ordid standard of success lie had reached he highest point that any man could de But there has been another type of man id woman There have been those who when the crisis came were willing to give up a living in order to make something igher, a life. And thi"y have furnished For us our ideals. They have ennobled :iviliza ion, enhanced society and ena bled us to believe in the truth and virtue in huan character. We are stronger nd better because we ha ve come under he magnetic spell of such a person as :hat And so we have this other ideal in :he world today, set for thi by those who prefer, first of all, to make a life, andl by the naking of tha,t life to miake at the ;amie time that li'sis g which is comipati ble with it. P'rob,ablyv the time will never come %hen meni can pu1t their whole thoughts on miakinig a life. Probab'y it nught niot to conme. D)oes the manner of iaking a living afim et our making a life? Has t God joined these two things to gether? If so. they should never be sep mratedl. In order to imake a living as best we may we must str ive to make a life as' biest we call. There is no antagonisni jtween the two? Thec way to make the bcsl living is to strive to make the best lfe But if these two lines seem to cross, o:u should surrender the living and pur me the life, accordling to the light that ao h as- iv nu and according to the inspiration of that lovely and beautiful ideal that stands ever before you and that you reach forward and grasp and hug to your hearts forever He next proc-eded to spc.,ize and to point out the best advant-ges of making the best life and in consequence the best living. One of the saddest things in the history of literature was that the immor tal works of Scott were written for gain! God only knows what that man might have been had his purposes been differ ent. As long as a man simply works for a living the product of his-work at best is machine-made. It is only when lie loves his work that it is hand-made. There is all the difference in the world between the two. In the hand-made product there is something of the life and the soul of the worker. There are original pictures in the world today painted by the great masters that are worth thousands of dol lars. You can get a machine made re production for twenty-five cents. If we are going to do our work as well as we can, if we are going to furnish to the world a hand-made product, our living must be a means to an end that of mak ing an ideal life. The next point the speaker wanted to impress was that the distinction between the sacred and the secular ought never to have been made. There are lives today that are not what they would be because those who are living them think they are living a secular life, in contradistinction to a sacred life. There is no distinction between tLe two. The only difference there is between wrong and right. God has only one purpose in the world today, the making of nien and women. The man that follows the plow in the furrow, that sits at his desk in the office or in the mercantile establishment or who is in the marts of trade--all of us are engaged in some department of that great work and all of us are doing a sacred work if we are doing it with an eye single to God's approbat on, and doing it the best we can. Just so long as we are doing some thing that is God's will that should be lone we are doing something sacred Our attitude to truth depends upon our view of this question. There is only one thing to pursue in this world, and that is truth. Every falsehood is a check drawn upon nature's bank and after circulation it will come back -and be presented for payment with the answer, "no deposit." But I may skip this country before that Falsehood has been presented at the bank of truth for collection. But if my purpose in this world is to make a life, to live an ideal life, then I know that it must be founded on the rock-bed of truth. There is not any united states of truth. It is a republic of truth. All truth is one, and wherever you find a fact it is a parts f all truth. The materials of truth have not been enlarged, for they have existed From the beginning. The truth the min ister expounds, the truth the scientist inds in his laboratory, the metaphysical discoveries, the truth about electricity, the tuth about all subjects, is not sepa rated, but it is all the same truth and to live one intelligently is to live all. Another distinction which the speaker wanted to call attention to is the differ ence between achievement and success. In the last analysis success consists in choosing that which is worthy of our God given powers and .pursuing it with all our' might, forever, until the very last. The words of the master were not achieve ment, not success in the sense of achieve ment, but "Be thou faithful unto the death and I will give you a crown of life." Set before you that which is worthy of you and be faithful unto death. That is success in its widest and best and noblest Finally, a word personal. You have probably read in your classical studies of the origin of the Sibylan books. How a woman brought them to Tarquin and ,ffered them for a price that was fabulous nd he laughed her to scorn. She de stroy ed three and then offered him the >ther six at the same price. He again laughed her to scorn. Again she burned three and offered the last three for the same price. His curiosity was aroused. It occurred to him that he ought to have them, and in that late hour he bought the remaining three. When he looked through them he found the inspired prophecies of the future of Rome and the Roman empire. Had he only bought the nine he would have had a complete chart by which to sail the ship of state. So are opportunities as they present themselves to the young man or the young woman. We can have all the opportunities of life for the price. Later only two-thirds will remain. and later only one-third. There is no. anything that the young mran may not be, that he cannot be if he will just realize in the beginning the necessity for a thorough equipment for entering upon his duties. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to speak about life to those who stand upon its threshold, to those who are looking not only to its practical side, but to its illusionments, to those who gather incentives from today's failures for tomorrow's efforts. May God help you to strive to make a noble life. MEDAL CONTEST. Despite the rain the opera house was filled to hear the juniors' contest for the medal in oratory.
