Lucius Cuthbert. D. D , of the Firsi Baptist Church of Charleston. The Opera House was se? cured for the occasion by the committee of arrangements in anticipatiou of tbe presence of H crowd that no other building in the city could accommodate. The expectations of the committee were fully realized, the en? tire first floor being crowded and a large portion of the galleries was filled also. Rev. N. W. Edmunds, D. D, of the Presbyte? rian church, and Rev C. C Brown, D D , of the Baptist church, were seated on the stage with Dr. Cuthbert and assisted in con? ducting the service. As tbe'm?rniug service Dr. Cuthbert read a portion of the second chapter of the Second Epistle of Paul to Timothy. The text of the sermoo waa taken from this chapter : Tim. II : 3. "Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." The sermon was beard with marked atten? tion throughout by the entire congregation, for it was one of those sermons that attracts and bolds one's attention almost iovolunta rily. It was so appropriate to the occasion and the audience the speaker was addressing that one thought followed another so logi? cally that there was no opportunity for the connection to be lost The delivery was im? pressive, at times eloquent and replete with feeling throughout It will be very long ere the truths that fell from the preacher's lips will fade from the memories of his bearers, where they found instant lodgment. Dr. Cuthbert is himself a true soldier of Christ Jesus, a veterau in the warfare against sin and human wickedness, and he spoke from a full knowledge and appreciation of the hard? ships and difficulties that those whom he was addressing will encounter in the life tbey. will enter upou within a few days, and which they must endure and overcome to be true soldiers in the battle for the upbuilding of our country and its civilization. Cadet Captain Frank K. Holman gave a reception to the graduating class Monday evening at the residence of his grandmother, Mrs E. A. Kennedy.
