UACCA1.AURKATE SERMON TO
NAS5AItKTH HIGH i'UI'lLS.
Tlie^ baccalaureate sermon to the graduates of the Nazareth High School was delivered in Sl. John's Lutheran Church, on Sunday, June 22, at 10:30 a. m., by the pastor, the Rev. M. M. Dry. He selected as his text, Phil. 2:5, "Let this mind lie in you which was also In Christ Jesus. ' He said in part as follows: "We re¬ joice this morning as a community that a goodly numhor of young men and women have completed the high school course. We beseech of you, members of the class, to accept our meager but nevertheless our most €>arnest and sincere congrati lation,^. You have accomplished something worth while, you have furnished tan¬ gible proof ot your mental ability, and you have reached the first mile¬ stone of your public career. We feel proud of you, we bespeak for you still greater things and you carry with you wherever you may go, our admiration, esteem and good wish¬ es." "'You are called upon to take your respective places in life at a very critical time. We are face to face with a period of reconstruction whosa responsibilities we must fear¬ lessly and encourageously assume. To meet the new order of things re¬ quires additional strength aad larg¬ er visions of our responsibilities. We are only one of many nations living in this worid and our affairs must be interpreted in the terms of others. Every position we take, every sug¬ gestion wo offer, must be based not Indeed irpoa something doubtful or uncertain, but upon that which is ac¬ cepted by all, as fundamentally true. Since there is no precedent tor our present status, we must go back' to original sources, study anew the life and character of the one perfect man who was possessed with the greatest gifts and animated and inspired wilh the largest visions. Lel, this mind be in you which was also ir Christ Jesus."
Modesty. "Christ had a mind thai wus capable of grasping lustautly the trend oi lhe anUculL silualious eu- cuuulered duriug this minisiry. Su highly developed and so acute was His luleresl that He gave expression to tuuuumuuiui priucipius ou the im¬ pulse of the moment. When called upoai to decide tbe question as lo wbfch ono should huve the greater, claim upou the people, Goib or Caesur. He immediately answered, "Render uulo Caesar the Ihiugs Ihul belong unlo Caesar, und unto God lhe things that belong uulo God! Eveu thuugb He was the possessor of ull Ihesu Ihiugs, He mude Himself of uo reputation but took upon Himself the form of a servuul. He wui modest aud uuassurirng iu the midst of His greatness."
¦•Y'ou need lo cultivate His same gift. The shallowest streams al¬ ways make the most noise.. The empty harrel always gives evidence of unoccupied space, of buving noth¬ ing within and of being hollow. The most ordinary, thc most mediocre, the most superlicial miuds claim the greaiest recognition."
"The absence of all attempts to re¬ taliate wus a conspicious trait iu the life of our Lord. Wben He was re¬ viled. He reviled ¦ not again. The world is uol goiug to sanction ali that you may uudertake. There will bo those who aro going to criticise, accuse, censure and review your ef¬ forts with evil intent. A task well done, a deed heroically performed will invite criiicism, but a good deal of consideration must be given the censor."
Utility. "Christ not only led a very active, but also an intensely use¬ ful life. He came to serve. He went a^)0Ut doing good. He became poor to make others rich. What a lo':tj and an exalted view of life, tc give one's time and talents to pro¬ mote the highest good of all people! \uu enjoy many things today only and solely because others have dedi- cp,tcd their lives to tho unselfish and Ijtnelicient task of helping btht^rs. Because others have done this, noth¬ ing short of it will be expected of J oil "If I. then, your Lord and Maiitcr, says Christ, havo was-i.ed yciii' foet, ye also oirght to wash one another's feet. For I |iavo given you an example that ye should do as I have done to you."
Optimism. "Christ always looked npon tho bright rather than upon the dark ot life, "If thy brother tres¬ pass against thee seven time In a' day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thon shall forgive him. Look at the bright sido. Do not let the shadow of dis- courngement and despondency fall upon your table. A hopeful spirit will discern the silver lining of the darkest cloud. It is a grace rather than a' gift, and we all know where all grace is to he had freely for tho asking.
Let Christ he your model thru- oirt life. Cultivate these speciflc traits nt which He la the embodiment viz.: Modesty, Utility and Optimism. During tho playing ot the pro- cpssional by Mr. Mutton, the orga'n- Ist, the class of 14 In number, at¬ tired In hlack caps and gowns march¬ ed Into tho chtirch, followed by tho directors, the teachers of the school, nnd the memhers of tho high school, Tho rendition by the choir, both chorus and solo, were particulnrly excellent and helped to make the ser¬ vice an impressive one.

Dear Sir;—What are we going to do for the Fourth of July. We can do without gunpowder or dynamite iu auy form. The everyday blasts from our cemeut quarries supply all of that,, that we need, and we do not care lo run the risk of having some boy's finger blown off, or some litlle girl disfigured for life, through her white dress beiug sel on Ure by u "sparkler." Tho toll o.' utcidents, some of them fatal, for that day is a fearful one in the United Sites. The Government haa issued appeals and warnings against the uso ot gun¬ powder. The only ones, who seem to favor it, are the manufacturers and dealers in fire works. Strange to say some people do nOt care who is maimed or killed ff they can mi^ke big proflts out ofthe day.
There can be a safe and sa'ne 4th. For 50 years, the 21st Ward, or Rox- boro district, iu Philadelphia', has had such a celebration. The Sun¬ day-schools of the Ward, Protestants and Catholics, white and black, plan to have a united parade on Lyceum Avenue. Each tries to get off the same "stunt" to make the best show¬ ing for its school. The Catholic school perhaps makes the most elab¬ orate preparation. One year they represented the different periods in American history. The Puritan, in his black cloak, knee breeches and peaked hat, preceedod tbe soldiers of th&Revolution, with tliem three- cornered hats and swallow-tailed coats. The men of 1S12 were fol¬ lowed by The soldiers of the Mexican War and these by the boys In blue of the Civil War.
Floats of different kinds profusely decorated added interest to the pro¬ cession. We bad something similar, hero at home. In tbe    parades   tbat

Lightning Strikes Tree Serving Men as Refug« From Storm. St. .Mnry'.s. I'n,--Three men were killed In nn elo-irii'al stnrm which passed over tbls section, Msttliew Itesch, Edwnrd Inn'ell nnd tbo Int- ter'a son. Kdward, .Tr, all nf this eify, were thoae sinin by tbe lightning. The three were on their way frnm Elbnn to this city when the «evere storm broke. All sought refuge under a tree, which was atruck by a holt of light-
their best. A ||latform liad erected and on%iis tU.e ^little were aealed. iMs^jjeefltess to say that the oiMWreffdid well. They al¬ ways llo. The siijging was exception¬ ally good. -N'o **ne knows except those who go though it of the am¬ ount of worry, c^e, and labor il lakes to carry thr*ugh such an exer¬ cise.
But tbe hour in tho church is not tho best part of tho entertainment. For weeks tho liltle luls huve lie n drilled by mother or some enthusias¬ tic girl of the main school. The home people know better than tho children tho songs and the recita¬ tions. The lessons of our heavenly Father's caTe nnd the Saviour's love become very real factors in the child's life. They help lo win the victoyr for the right In tho hour, when, as the little girl expressed it, "It is so easy to be bad." Or, as it sometimes happens, the little flaxen headed girl tosses on the bed of pain, and in tho delirium of fever sings, "Oh, how we love Him," both teach¬ ers and parents realize that all their care and labor were moro than worth while.
