Rev. S. D. McConnell, D. D., of Philadelphia, delivered the baccalaureate sermon before the Sen ior class Sunday morning. The chapel was crowd - ed with friends of the college and graduates. When the Seniors appeared in caps and gowns, the lower classes rose and remained standing until ’92 was seated. The text was part of the nineteenth verse of the Twentieth chapter of St. Luke; “And the chief of Priests and the Scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him but they feared the people.” He said that the priest corresponded to those who had massed great wealth while the scribes were those of great learning. The theme of his discourse was the perils which education creates in one’s religion,—perils which are real. Thence he proceeded to show how these perils come to exist, how each item of knowledge gained requires a recrystallNation of all knowledge previously ac quired, and finally gave reasons for believing that the religion of the world remains unharmed. He advised those who met the doubts and dangers which learning brings not to resort to the reading of the debates of the so called champions of re ligion and reconcilers of science and religion, but to find refuge in Christianity itself. Throughout his remarks he dwelt upon the great and rapid progress in the diffusion of knowledge as the characteristic of this century. “In this, the nine teenth century,” said he, “there are but two classes, all men are believers either in Christianity or atheism.” Throughout the sermon was forci ble, suitable, and full of thought.
