Y, JUNE | es THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON Masterty Thoughts Presented by Dr, Law rence M_ Colfelt The services Sunday, although the were well attended, fully one thousand persons being present. The was comnposed almost entirely of out of town people who had come to the College for the week. The baccalaure- ate sermon was preached by Dr. Law- rence M. Colfelt, of Philadelphia. The Doctor congratulated the institution on having secured such a magnificent auditorium. ‘The gift of the captain of industry, Charles M. Bchwab, the speaker, ‘marks new here not the mechanical, but the spir- itual shall center.” Colfelt’s r¢- marks were based on Ezekiel 1:21.

And it will not be the age of con juest or the age of chivalry or the of poetry that will be the golden age but the age of the wheels in whieh all in- dustry shall be trapsfigured with the principle of divine service, II. And this leads to the necessity of getting the epirit of fraternity in the wheels, For fraternization grows out of the spirit of dignity. Indeed you can have no brotherhood in the industrial world without the realiza- tion that man is separate from and gu. perior to a machine, All harmonious relations between capital aud labor sll just actions between the contracting parties must finally be governed by the practical recognition of this truth, If we are ever tn have fraternity be- tween Lhe employer and the employed we must realize that back of all eco- poimicsl copgiderations is the truism that the mau who toils in a factory or furnace or mine is not a wachiove -but a sensitive human being with all the possibilites which belong to hu- manity.

E. #titt, of Blairsville, was mana- REX, gave 8 delightful entertainment Saturday night, The music, orches- tra aud voeal, was all that could be de- gired. There were several characters that are deserving of special mention, because they possessed natural talent —F. J. Baundere, soloist ; J. F. Brad. ley, the acrobat, and W. N. Golden, the characteristique dancer.
