Werd, et wisdom te the Graduating Class or rranklln max Marsfaall-What I'retl- dent Themas O. Apple Raid te nil Lt.t Class In the Collets. Rev. Dr. T. O. Apple preached an elo quent baccalaureate sermon In theehapel of Franklin and Marshall oellege en Sunday morning. Notwithstanding tbe threatening weather thechapel was well filled. At the chapel bell stepped tinging Dr. Apple en tered Iho chapel followed by the graduating class, Iho members of wbleh appeared In Oxford caps and gowns. Miss Minnie Ap pel eang sole, "Ave Maria," after tbe termer. Dr. Apple announced thefpro thefpre thefpro gramme el exercises far the remainder of the week as it appeared In Saturday 'a lit TKLuaRNRnn. Following are acme ex cerpts or the sermon, tbe text of wbleh waa Jehn 8 : 12; "I am tbe Light of the world." This la called a akeptlcal age. Old foun dations, old beliefs, It la said, are giving way and new ones are coming In te take tbelr place. Whereas In former agea con troversy ran high ever particular doctrines, or truths, particular phases of Cbrlatltnlty, new tbe controversy reaches down te tbe deepest foundations, te tbe essentials of man's religious belief. Men atand agbaat when learned scientists and nblleannhAra are silent en tbe questions, " la there a Oed ?" If tbere be a Ged, can we knew Him ?" Is there any revelation from Him beyond what we have In natnre and rea rea aen'?'' It Is claimed that the theory of evei ltttlen bus revealed a uiothed In what baa been called the creation el tbe world, differ ing from that gtven in the Bible, a method which explains tbe existence et all ihtDgs without the noeeasitv of deciding whether tbere Is a personal Ged or no. This, tbe Rreat question r fall questions, it relegates te the region of private belief and private speculation. Occupy leg this attitude, the evolutionist Is net prepared te deny the ex ex ex latenoe of a pergenal Oed, but noilher can na anirm suen oxistened, And new Ohrtstlanty Is ones mere sum moned bofero the bar of human n a ion, and It Is challenged te harmenlzs Its beliefs with the truths or sclsnce as devolepsd In this age of sclentitie progress. If it can harmeni79 the teachings of the Blble with the teacblng of evolution, well and geed, It then may be true, and men mey continue te bolleve in it consistently with their holding te the truth of science ; but even tben It Is only a speculation, n human religion, nmeng ethers that have existed before It, and sonie that are still con temporaneous with It, This Is about tbe attitude of tbe new challenge made te Christian y by the light of selonce as In terpreted by the theory of evolution. 1 de net propose te speak against evolu tion as a working theory for explaining the law of development In the natural world. 1 J believe it contains much truth, and 1 need net remind the students or this college that in contains many points in harmony with the Idea of development In nature taught In this institution. Ner de 1 intend te dis cuss the Importance et trying te har monize tbn teachings of sclence and these of the Bible. 1 grant tbe Importance of this for maintaining the religious teachings Imparted te the young of our day. But the only ultimate foundation en which our faith can rest is tbe poison of Jebus Christ, and He only Is the absolute revelation of Oed te man. Accept tbis and it sheds light upon all questions that it concerns man te knew ; deny this, and there la no sulllclent and safe guide in our knowledge of Ued, et man, of tbe unlvorse. During your four years college course in this institution you have laid a foundation of mental discipline and moral and spirit ual nurture, ler tbe luture work of your life. Da net forget that it Is only tbe foundation of the structure yen are te eulld upon it, and that tbe coming Thursday Is only your commencement day. If jeu remember this you will net need te bs Informed that the extent of your knowl edge Is as yet small. Receive kindly the criticisms that Bre annually administered toeollego graduates by these who seem anxious te tell you that your acquirements are very meaner, and that you are very helpless ai yet in regard te tbe work and pursuits of life. Yeu can acknowledge all that The great matter is tUat you have made n geed beginning, net in what Is called "practical knowledge," but in that discipline which will enable you new te take held of and renter the knowledge of practical pursuits. An emtnent rnember of the bar of this county, net long since, In peaking te me et the comparative merits of oellege education and that of ether schools of a mero practical character, made the remark that the young man wbe has been taught a certain mcsMire et knowledge concerning practical blUIrs, may advance faster thau the college graduate for a time, but, all ether Hilten being equal, after a period of ten years the college graduate will come out auead. If you build dili gently upon tbe foundation you have laid you will succeed, and by patience, faithful labor and perseve atce you will exel In the pursuit or protesslon et your choice. The trouble Is that se many fail te keep up tbelr studlesaftorthelrgraduatlon. There fore 1 say, de net forget that this Is only your commencement In the teal, serious work of life. My last and closing word et counsel te you touches Ihe snlject presented in my text as explained in this Laccalaurente ser mon ; it Is that you may carry with you from tbee hulls, ami ever maintain In your lives unwavering faith In Jesus Christ, as tbe light of the wcrld. Te tbis guidance) we can commend you with the fulleisjr ance that II you seek earnestly and faith fully te fellow it you will nevi r go wrong, but at a n finally Unit great and glorious destiny for which you were created. Yeu enter upon the work et your lives at a period in the world's history when tbe struggle between faith aud unbellef la grow ing mere and mere intense, and when the greatest problem seems te be te harmonize HClenceand religion, reason and revelation. De net soek te shirk the struggle, nor give nn thA nnintlnn nt the nreblem. Accent as coming from Gcd the best results of scionce and the best conclusions of right reason. Bat above Bcieuee and above reason, though never In contraalctlen with them when truly set forth, let your supreme authority be tbe light and guldancoef Jesus Christ. All else that you need In tbe way of coun sel la gathored up In this. Whatever eUe you mav give up In tbe battle of life, never lese your faith In Him. Cling te te Him as your infalllble guide in every time of trial and perplexity, and in every season of trouble. It is prob able tbat this Is tbe last senior class le which I shall address parting words. I have new served a term of 10 yeara aa president et tbis Institution, and tbe endow ment of the pi ca'deney new nearlng com pletion indicate i the appointment et ene who may give bis whole time end strength tetbat position. I feel a Just pride in your graduation, for 1 feel that you are true and manly aena .et your alma mater. If you aee lui perfections and faults In the teachings and the teachers, remember they have done for you what they could, and have borne with tbe same in you. As our partiDg is with a rathnrlv benediction from us te you, se may it be with the gratitude of aena from you te your teaebarB. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 1 Amen! With tbese werdB et alleotlenate counsel, in the name of tbe faeulty, and commend ing you te the care of Him who Is tbe light et the world, I new bid you an afieo afiee afieo liena'e farewell.
