President Apple proached from the lux I :
"Andyoareconipletoiit Him." (foless. II,
10). These words, he said, were ad
dressed especially le the Colessians by l'aul
te assure them that In the religion of
Christ tliey were provided with oory eory oery
thlng necessary te bring their being te its
completion. They teach, hewever, the bread
and general truth that man's supernatural
destiny is te be found in Jesus Christ. The
ndreeals the beginning. When we dis dis
cern the true end of human oxisteiico we
have u revelation of its beginning and pro
cesses. This stimulates human pursuits and
inspires toil. I'.very stage of life has a rela
tive end in vluw ; childhood leeks forward te
youth, youth te man heed, and manhood
struggles for the highest honor and useful
ness. Take away the prospect of future
attainment and thestar of hope seisin gloom.
Their position of te-day lias nerved mid
Ktrcnglhencd tliu graduating class through
out their course. The charactoref all pres
ent pursuit is te be measured by the value of
the object sought.
If there be net an ultiinate geed In which
all relative earthly geed Is te llntl Its con
summation, the enigma or human c.xlstence
is veiled In darkness and llf'e becomes mean
ingless. If only men's name and fame live
le inspire noble alms, then "is their strength,
labor and sorrow, for it Is seen cutetVand
we 11 v away."
" What Is the gospel of the monuments of
earthly greatness and leuewu if tberu be no
higher geed for man than what the Itriefspan
otlifuatlerds ? What comes from the lunural
pyre of Cicsar, whose fancied ajiotlieoiis was
lighted un bv the llames that consumed bis
mangled body en the reilru in the forum?
or the grand tomb of Xapoleen where 10 10
pese his remains 'along tlie Seino among
the peeple he loved se well' ? or the silent
crypt et the new Pantheon where, alter the
demonstrations of one of the greatest
iuneral corteges the world ecr be be
eold, rests thu Ledy of Victer Huge,
besides the ashes of Heiseau and Voltaire V
Their principles and their deeds llve after
thorn, it is wild, and they are Immortalized in
posthumous renown. Hut of what account
is this for them it the highest geed of their
existence ended In the cruelty of assassina
tion, in the dieary death in exile, and in tlie
weakness and sullcrlng of worn out old age?
Ne, there is no gospel for man in such re
nown. II there is no higher, ultimate geed
in a personal existence than that which is at
tainable in man's natural life, then the dou deu dou
trineof Pessimism is Ills only comfort, and
the philosophy el the unconscious the highest
wisdom.
"Turn we new te tlie gospel of the last
Adam who came te elovate man te his true
destiny, of the new head of tlie raca who
came te actualize the highest geed, te bilng
man into union with the souice of lil'e in
himself, the glorious gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ, and what does It re
veal for the stirrings of immortality
implanted within the human breast?
or man in his creation it Is said in the 8th
I'salm, 'thou hast made him a llttle lewer
than the angels' or rather, a llttle lever
than deity, 'and hast crowned him with
glory and honor. Theu inade.st him te have
ilmniiileii ever the works of tliv hands'
and if we ask what nre these works or his
hands, we nre pointed te 'thy heavens, the
work or thy tlngers, the moon nnd the stars
which thou hast ordalned,' 'thou madest
Jiim te have dominion ever these works or
thy hands; thou hast put all tilings under
his lect' That is, man was made te be king
and lord ever Ged's vast creation, te reign In
glory forever.
" Turn new te the words of inspiration in
the opistle te the Hebrews, and read tlie in
terpretation and fulllllment of these words :
'Theu hast put all things in subjoctlen
under his feet.' l'cr in that he put all in
subjection under him, he lelt nothing that is
net put under him. Hut new we see net yet all
things put under him. Hut v e soe Jesus, who
was made a little lower than the ungels,
that is, In his human estate of humiliation
'crowned with glory and honor. ' "
lu ills iiirm came ine uosire ui mi
nations, in ills llle Is the perfect model of
human goodness, In his teaching tlie highest
wisdom. In his works the deopest leve and
in his glorification the actualization of man's
supei natural destiny.
Man's natural lire is incomplete; he Is en
dowed with capacities te rise in union
with the divine. ills life must leach
its true destiny in a spiritual order or
existence. Jesus Christ by linking Hisiiature
with ours, lias through His atoning death,
his victory evor death and hades,and His glo
rification ninde it possible for man te reacli
Ills true destiny in Him. The goed.tho boun
tiful and the true, ilnd a personal source and
jtjtilt rrt lit 1 II 111
It is only by standing in right rela
tion te Him that our life can be
substantial and true. Christianity does
net disparage our earthly UK) ; rightly
related le Him it becomes invested with
infinite interest and value. Christianity
actually places man in tlie best condition
here. With Christian civilization human We
has nioved steadily forward te Its best con cen con
ditleu. Our civilization is far mero humane
and carries in it much greater happiness ler
the w hele raee than that of the most cultured
heathen nations of nntlmilty. Theso who
fellow the preiepts of Christ, Individually,
Hud in their lire en earth a power that lifts
it into u higher, purer, happier sphere
Christianity does net enceurage weak,
Miitlineiitul repinlngH evor the evanescent
character or our earthly estate. One class or
men live with a certain satisfaction in
the natural enjoyments of the present hour.
They seek nothing higher and mero lasting.
Anether class advance se far that by mero
earnest thought tliey realize the emptiness of
such mero natural lifts anil these assert tlie
the negative tiulh that 'all is vanity and
grasping after the wind.' A third class at
tain the positive truth of Christianity, by
which they urolirted into n higher sphere, te
whom their Ufa becomes earnest and real, In
whom the morely natural Is resurrected and
glorilled in thoBiipernatural. In theiu the

Clirlbtlanlty must net be made merely a

ing the functions nnd faculties of man's phy

truth nre found analogies in the whele erder
ofcreatiou. Every sphore Is cnrrled te a

new prlnciple of higliorllfe. Ged's precesses
work slowly, but surely ; comnletlon can

ADDIlKSH TO Till! CLASS.
"And new, young gonttemon of the gradu
ating class, I address lu conclusion a few
words directly te you.
"And llrst or all Ijeln with your many
friends lu congratulating you upon having
reaction 1110 position you mis uay occupy.
After many lenir years of study, you have nt
length successrully closed your cellege
course. Te outside observers, especlnlly
theso who have passed far en In the oarnest
work or lire, your graduation may soem n
very ordinary event, but te yourselvos llrst
of all, ami te your leachetsnnd friends, It is
fraught with fresh nnd Inspiring significance.
Though only your commencement, as It is
significantly called, yet It has cost you
much tell te reach It, nnd It carrles In it
fair premise of unorulness and suc
cess lu lire ; Ter the exceptions are compara
tively rare, where cellege graduates, ir at all
oarnest and porsevoring, fall te obtain posi pesi posi
tiens r luflucnce and Impertance in the
world.
" A great deal or misunderstanding nnd no
little misrepresentation prevail In regard te
the qualifications or cellege graduates. It is
said they ha e no practical preparation rer
the work or life. Hut lu such remarks and
reflections It Is forgotten, or ignored, that a
cellege coiirse Is designed only te be a prepa
ration for the study of some practical pursuit.
Yeu are new only le commence practical
study for such calling, and it you pessess the
menud discipline te mastorlt,whatevor it may
be, in the thne usually, devoted te such study
your education has been a suocess.
" ircortainbranches had been emitted and
ethers or a mere nraetlcal character been in
cluded, it is asserted, the same cud might be
gained hi a shorter thne ; but such shoiten sheiten
ing or the time or preparation Is
lust 0110 or the evils te be avoid
ed. The mind needs tlme as well
as exercise te mature its facultiesand powers.
Llle is tee real and earnest, and the iKirled or
preparation rer it which comes but once te
each ersen, is tee precious te attempt te
unduly stimulate development in order te
8.ive aVew years at the beginning. A slower
and later ilpeuliig fiir lire's work, rather
than an earlier and mere rapid, would be an
advantage te the men of this generation.
"There are tender associations aljeut te be
severed lu these commencement oxerelsos.to
which 1 may also very brlelly rcrer in these
remarks. Next te the relationship of the
family there is no tie that binds se clesely as
that between teacher and pupil. Day by
day, and week by week, ler years we have
communed with each ether, mind with mind,
until we have ceme te feel towards you hh
inemlici'H of a family. We, as tcachen, have
given you the host of our intellectual re
sources, and have labored te direct you, le
the best oreur ability, In laying the founda
tion Ter uscrul lives.
"This pleasant lntercourse has new ceme
te a close. Others will take your places In
chapel and lecture room. Thoramilfarseund
of tlie cellege bell will no longer call you te
dally worship and daily toil. Yeu wiU seen
lart from us and from each ether ; but hi all
coming years, its you tell in the work or llle,
you will turn back in memory with pleasure,
we trust, te your cellege days, and we pray
that the recollection el these days may evor
give you Inspiration Ter the work Inhere
you.
"I" these personal rercrences 1 cannot emit
sinking a word In memory or 0110 of
your number who was se suddenly
and recently taken away by death. With
what fend anticipations he loekod forward te
this hour! Who knows hew near his
spirit may be te us in theso solemti
services? His earnest cliaracter and neble
oxample remain te 1111 the iiccustemed place
among you new rendered vacant by his
bodily absence. Let our prayers be oifered
for the bereaved family who doubtless are
thinking te-day of the vacancy In your class
te which 1 have referred. Ke all earthly tles
must soenoror later be sundered, and human
hearts be bruised by tlie sad separations ; but
in tlie Lord Jesus Christ the broken families
et our earthly oxisteiico are reunited in
the undying llle or itlie heavenly world. Te
His care, in this final adieu, in the name
ortheraculty, 1 new commend you, young
gentlemen of the graduating class. May He
keep and preserve you, each one, in body,
soul and spirit, unto overlasting life I
Amen !"

Children's Day nt St. Paul's was truly n
gala day. Tlie church was prerusely
decorated with evergreens, Mowers, tropical
plants and singing birds. On a platform ut

overgrecn cresses. Thore were scores or
beautiful flowering plants lu pets and a
wealth or magnificent tropical plants, Toms,
vines, Ac Thore wero about twentv singing
canaries in cages, ene or them being the

very entertaining, being rendered entirely
by the pupils of the Sunday school, with
the exception of n trio sung by Mlsses Cera
and Katie 1'rban, and their brother Mr. J. C.
1'rbaii. On the stage weie (illy llttle girls

a circlet or flowers. The grouping or the
children was very artistic, and rarely has
a mero beautiful picture been seen anywhere
