Hawley .Charlotte,Mawson; Maggie.Sullivau. . •GRADUATES ACADEMIC.Hope is especially useful, for it.in spires confidence and goads on to 3ss. Hence I have chosen for my text a passage from Nehimiah 8:10. ‘ ‘The Joy of the Lord is yourstrength,”What are values., 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 tinns of the utmost importance, 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 beard of a lion who on be ing told that all the other liona in the menagerie weie loose and that trouble was iu the camp, went forth anddrove them all back into their cages. So, in the difficulties of life, ber to look beyond yourselves for aid.“But the second thought of my text is that there are things iu which God rejoices. 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. WEBSTERPastor 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 gamed in acquisition are for those we love. There is in the acquisition of success, especially in educational lines a vein of 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 iu the midst of life it is well to remember tbat 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 nobleat of all Sentiments, “And now abideth faith, hope, love; but the greatest of these' is love.The first of these imp°rishable 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 as to the meaning of certain relations -and effects of faith. But faith is not eonfined to the religious world. What could be done with ut it. lyph lies at the foundation of all ef-Ki||;and progress. Men have believ etPHi liberty, and they fought and struggled to secure it.'. Faith in the religious-1 ensa is simply a reachmgout a little farther and in a different direction;The Apostle Paul does riot hesitate to enumerate as among the heroes of the world,.thq 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 a 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.

King.At the c'ose of the exercises Prof. Cook, with evident satisfaction and very pardonable pride, presented the class, and called upon Hon. John I. Gilbert, a member cf the Local Board, to present the diplomas. Mr. Gilbert saidLadies and Gentlemen, the duty of addressing you o” this occasion, al though entirely unexpected, is not altogether unpleasant. It is, iu some 8ense,a privilege to present to you these pledges of finished work. But, I trust, tbat they will represent toyou, not the goal, but milestone, toward the goal. In behalf of the State it may be said as was said by an English admiral on a memorable occasiop, “England expects everymade-for a good time; various sports',’diriner will tfe’servea by the: ladies on ' thej’Ialarid for- fill whb wish to partdkSmVh reasonably low-price.

Thursday after-man to his duty,” the State expects every one of you to do his best.I have had some experience in such occasions as this, and my observation has been that on such occa sions aims are high, determinations lofty, and purposes good. Afterward, in some instances, there has cornea debasement; a settling-back to lower standards and meaner things. Now there is danger of this. But may we not rather expect a, .development, an advancement, a 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 endeavor, but by the ep'rit in which the effort is made— May we not hope tbat 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 arid largely attended than ever before. On Monday evening Mr. Ubas. Plank, in behalf of the class, presented to Princi-pol Cook a life sized portrait of himself, with the sugestion 'that at' some time it should be placed upon the walls of tbe building jbeside those of tbe lamented Garfield,- the hpnor--ered McYiekar and others, ,dALUMNI ADDRESS.•On ’Wednesday afternoon an ad.-:_ dress was delivered in Normal jftlf before the Alumni Association.
