A Well Prepared Program Rendered In faultless Style by the Graduates. LARQE AUDIENCE HEARD DR. OOUCHER DELIVER THE QRADUATINQ SERMON. A Review of the Senior Class Rhetorical" Friday Evening and Extract from the Essays and Orations of the Graduates The Exercises Un surpassed by those of any Previous Year. The first exorcises of the sixth annual commencement of tho Roynoldsvllle high school was tho senior class rhetor Icals in tho public school auditorium last Friday evening, May 10. The claws colors, purplo and white, wore promi nently displayed, and tho class motto: "Perfection is Our Idenl," stood out In largo lottcrs above tho stage. Thoro are seven graduates, five young ladles and two young men, and each ono of tho gradimU'S read an essay ordollvored an oration, and each did exceedingly well. The excellence of the essays and orations, parts of which wo publish bo low, showed that deep thought had been given to the subjects and thatcaro ful attention to dotalls by both pupils and instructors bad loft no room for criticism. THE ESSAYS. Kathoryn May King was tho first of the graduates to face the aud ience and read an essay. "Ethics of Music'' was the subject she had chosen. She said: This world is a world of bounty. Look whero wo will, study as wo may, in all things thoro will bo found the harmony which Is essential to true beauty. Tho student of nature re ceives from his study a real discipline, in languago, in culture. Among these lessons by no means tha lenst Is that taught by music. Nature gives us a charming parable of the beauty and worth of muslo in every fiowor of tho spring which comes to the full realiza tion of Its poesy and beauty. Music, like literaturo, is a representation of a beautiful ideal within tho mind. Although tho most anclunt of tho earth's inhabitants indulged in song and played upon rudo instruments, yet it was not until tho beginning of the christian era that muslo began to grow and dovelopo and be called an art. It became a part of tho ceremonies of the first churches, and as it grow in Im portance, men saw tho mecosslty of making a system of signs, so that all could Blng together tho sumo hymnB. In this way muslo became a writ ton languago. To tho church we owe its dovolopment. Verdi Bollo Dougherty in her ossay on "Tint Your Own Sky," said: Per tool ion is tho goal of ambition.. From away back in tho echoing ages of the post man's lifo has boon filled with a restless energy that Is ever urging bim forward. Man is a being never satisfied. However great bis treasure may bo, he is continually reaching out for those things which are not in bis possession. Life is made up of two parts, deslro and the fullflllmcnt of desire; to have noble desires and strive to realize them is the debtevery man owes to his fellow men, to the world and to God. Not what we have, but what we are and what we httain to be settles the question of our power. In the tinting of our own sky if we do not uso honosty, justice and wisdom, we may be sure our sky will fade. For what coloring can with stand the bright sunlight of an honest and righteous God unless it be that which comes from a pure and noblo heart. Wo must not tint our sky at the expense of others or must we be selfish In our desires. Our characters are formed by what goes out from us as truly a what we take Into us, What we give effects our real 'personality as well as what we receive. That Is only a one-sided education whlob is merely a reception of knowledge and not an expression of service. "Faith of Our Fathers" was the sub ject of an essay by Christine Brown. As boy holds tightly a klto string, which links him with the restless heavons carrying to him along its threaden course the message of the winds, and as he watches diligently Its bird like movements now rising, now falling at the mercy of the elemonts which ever strive to tear it from Its fastenings, so do we hold tightly to the lessons taught by those who have gone before, matohlog diligently In history and bld'Hraphy the restless notions of our for.Vi'ners and the political and re- llgloi 'leu""1 which governed them rise A " As we turn the pages of sacred "rofnoe history there posset la gran ' wslon n host of heroes and i,7 " Their struggles and vlotorlos were struggles and victories for us. What they did we need not do; what they gained is ours for all time. The memory of a great life does not die, but lives in othor (ninds. The martyr may perish at the stake, but tho truth for which he dios gathors now luster from his sacrlfloo; the patriot may lay his head upon the block and hasten the triumph of tho cause for which he suffers. Tho nation or church that keeps green tho memory of Its horoos or saints, and proporiy reverences its origin and founders, can never be conquered. Etholyn Clalro WInslow in hor essay on "Truth Our Light, Conscienco Our Guide," said man is a mastor piooo in tho creation of God. God has taught man to walk in the light of truth and to lot his light so shino that others may see his good works and glorify the Fathor which Is In heavon. Man at tains his greatness by having truth as his light to guide him through the rug ged paths of lifo and also by having with him a perfect guide, who Is our Creator. In many ways our journoy through lifo, with its numerous wind ings in and out, here Into a now and unknown path, there blocked by ob stacles which seems unsurmountable, is not unlike the passage through the catacombs which underlie many Eu ropean ottlus. At times adventurers have boon daring enough to attempt a passage through those curious old tombs, but havo rarely been known to roturn to upper earth. We say the risks of these people who carelessly enter those catacombs without their guides are not unlike the risks which we encounter In our walk through lifo. If we go trough life's journey without truth as our light and con science as our guide we shall be led into the depths of dissipation, but there is no doubt that if we have these as our guide we shall be lod by that Divine power and our lives shall bo aa exam ple to those following us. "Christianity and Civilization" was tho subjoot of the essay by Grace Lonore Moek. The two great factors in lifting the humane race from barbarous or soml-barbarous stato Into the highest culture are Christianity and civilization, and these must go hand In band. There can be no high state of civilization in dependent of Christianity, neither can thoro be a high grade of Christianity without civilization as a sequence. Tho human raco as it exists to-day may be classed as barbarous, somi-barbarous and civilized. It is believed that no nation or people exist upon the face of the earth to-day who' do not have a re ligion and believe- in a future state. Even bloodthirsty cannibals have their ciudoldoas of a Supreme Bolng, but these Ideas do not lift thorn upon the plane of oulture and Intelligent justice. Civilization, broadly speak ing, consists of oulture. The superior ity of our nation over China and Japan is duo to our oulture and recognition of the individual rights. The' two great est nations in the world to-day, England and America, owe their high position and rank to the. two mighty and up-lifting agencies, Christianity and civilization. "Lanes that have no Turns" was dis cussed by Catherine Madallne Kerr in an essay that she read. A lane that has been trodden time after time has no turns for no way la so easy as the path already tread. To turn either to tho right or left would mean to encount er difficulties; the travel would be wearisome on account of the long grass and unovenness ot the soli, but the next time we pass that lane we would fol low the broken path to avoid the un pleasantness. Thus It Is with life. Our hublts are lanes. As wo form our habits so is our lite, and when once tho habit Is formed and It becomes an ease and pleasure, then it is a lane that has no turn. We see a young man who has so far through life do voted himself to pleasure, passion and vtoe, be would not saorllloe one moment of pleasure for bis real good. Thus he has trained hit mind, and his aotions so oonforni to his thoughts that unoonsoiously he geeks all gratifications to bis senses, lie soes no path before him but ploasure and no path shall he follow but this. He will say, "I cannot do that for see tho unpleasant things I will have to moot. No,' I must follow my own course, come what will." THE ORATIONS. "Individualism" was the subject of an oration by Ira D. Bowser. Ho said: When the Great and wlso God had made tho world of all creatures It pleased Him to chooso man nis deputy to rulo It, and to fit him lor so groat charge and trust. He did not only qualify him with skill and power, but with Integrity to uso them justly. He gave one mind common to all Individ ual mon. Familiar as the voice of the mind is to each, the highest merit we ascribe to Moses, Plato and Milton is that they sot at naught books and traditions and spoko not what men but what they thought. There is a time In every man's education where he ' arrives at the conviction that envy is Ignoranco; that Imitation is sulcldo; that he must take" himself for better or for worse, according to his position. All true greatness Is tho result of in dividuality, whether it be man, town, city, state or nation, and the old maxim goes, "Heaven helps them who helps themselves." The spirit of solf-holp Is the root of all genuine growth In the Individual. The subjoct of Fred Smith's oration was "Anarchy," and ho said: no who studies tho theory of anarchy may find it strango and paradoxical but will also allow It to be worthy of discussion and consideration. The anarchist would leave every one free to share impartial ly In tho nocossltles of lifo by "taking from tho heap" like wild animals, but they de not stop to reflect that onco tho booty became Insufficient men would prey upon ono another. These people bollove the supremo romedy for their so called Ills to be destruction Of property and proprietors and even government. By this moans they hope to bring about at ono sweep the radi cal changes they wish, but they forget that nothing in nature and nothing i,n human society Is accomplished perma nently as the result of a sudden up heaval or catastrophe; that In order to be finally accepted changes must be slow and that there a necessity of time In the devclopemont of all things, that suooess gained by crime only pro vokes counter-action from an opposite source. There Is reason for the preva lence of anarchy and for Its flourishing oondition In countries where there aro no means of obtaining justice, where government is so bad that anything Booms preferable to submission to it, and where It is vested in one man. But it Is not easily explained in a country like ours where there Is real liberty, and where bad government . falls or always has formidable opposition which brings about Its defeat when It seems on the verge ot triumph. SERMON TO GRADUATINO CLASS. The sixth annual sermon to the grad uating class was preached in the pub llo school audltorlun at 11.00 a. m. Sun day morning by Dr. John F. Goucher, President of the Woman's College of Baltimore. The sermon was a well finished and scholarly production, show lng deep thought and careful prepara tion. The attendance was large, and yet every person found a comfortable seat. The services were tine throughout. The boy choir added considerably to the singing. Rev. A. J. Meek, Rov. W. Frank Reber and Rev, Perry A. Reno assisted in the opening and closing services.
