Your education, thus far is supposed to give you some power of estimate. But moral are upon you, when you will be called upon, to decide in a moment ques tions of the utmost importance. It will aid you in these decisions if you will first settle iu your minds that the Bible from which this precept is taken is the word of God.You have heard of a lion who on be ing told that all the other lions in the menagerie weie loose and that trouble was iu the camp, went forth and them all back into their cages. So, in the difficulties of life, her to look beyond yourselves for aid.“But the second thought of my text is that there are things in which God rejuices. Joy in success gives pleasure in- every walk and avocations in life. Choose whatever calling in life you may or wish, if' you are in accord with God’s will you may rejoice in your strength., Dr. Miller continued this strain for some time, greatly delighting and edifying his audience.REV. A. D. WEBSTER Pastor of the M. E. church in this village spoke in the same hall Sunday evening before a large audience, the address or sermon teing to the Christian Association of the school.Mr. Webster chose for his text the familiar passage in 1st Cor. 13,And now abideth Faith.Hope, Charity-these three, but the greatest of these is charity; or according to the new versiou, love. The pleasures which are to be gained in acquisition are for those we love. There in the acquisition of success, especially in educational lines a sadness. Some fall out by the way. Now it is not necessary that we sho’d often look upon the sombre side of life, but in the midst of life it is well to remember that we are to he prepared,at least, to die.The great mind of the apostle Paul grasps this truth,and says,“Whether there be prophiecies they shall fail; —or tongues they shall cease;—or knowledge it shall vanish away.” Then what is there to encourage effort.Now it seems to me that the apostle was searching for something which should not perish and so gave utterances to this noblest of all Sentiments, “And now abideth faith, hope, love; but the greatest of these' is love.The first of these imp°rishabie treasures is Faith. He mentions this first, perhaps, because it is the first act of the soul in its alliance with or return to God.fknow there is some disagreement ae to the meaning of certain relations and effects of faith. But faith is Dot confined to the religious world. What cou id be done with ut it. lyph lies at the foundation of all ef-|oft]and progress. Men have believ ifPm liberty, and they fought and struggled to secure it.'. Faith in the religious-1 ense is simply a reachmgout a little farther and in a different direction;The Apostle Paul does not hesitate to enumerate as among the heroes of the world,thp examples of faith,who “stopped the-mouths of lions, ont of weakness were made strong.?©ne thing, which enters into the imperishable treasures of faith we must not fail to consider. It is the question Whether it can enable us to ..conquer that within the soul itself! jyhich would destroy “itself. The great, question bfthe ages is How can man be just with God.This question WAS never satisfactorily answered till’ Christ answered it at the last supper. Hope, like faith, rests upon the inimitable word of God. One day in April ! heard a robin singing,J usthdogbhis heart would’ burst? if bedidnot sing ■What was it-but the prophecyofthe btghthess which- waS=tb follow.'' ” So God feanflii us with'aprophecy; a confidence in the goOd things which are to follow.

Afterward, in some instances, there has cornea debasement; a settling-back to lower standards and meaner things. Now there is danger uf this. But may we not rather expect a, .development, an advancement, aj growth.The State recognizes the fact that the dangers to the State are not all in the past; they are in the future, in the ever living present. Now I, would impress upon you that the se-security of the State lies in the char* acter of its citizens; and you, as its chosen and trained instructors,have, in a large degree, the characters of its future citizens in your keeping.Ladies and Gentlemen, I have one thing to say to you. Your success in life is not to be measured by endeay--or, but by the sp’nt in which the effort is made— May we not hope that it win be your endeavor to develop in those whom it shall be your privilege to instruct, the very image, of your Creator.THE RECEPTIONSThe receptions at Principal Cook’s and at Normal Hall differed from those of former years only in that both were more brilliant and largely attended than ever before. On Monday evening Mr. Ubas.
