- CHaren Bri, N. C., May 3t °97.
A large and appreciative con-
_ ~gregation of visitors,towus people
and students gathered in Gerrard
Hall Sunday morning to hear the
baccalaureate sermon by Rev. Dr.
J. §. Felx, pastor of the First
Baptist church of Asheyille, N. C.
a The hall itself seemed to pre-
sent a sacred appearance for as
we gazed upon its walls touany
things were to be seen to call to
memory the darker days ~of the
State aud the republic as well as
the struggles of oar forefathers
and to fill our hearts with grati-
tude to God at the blessings we
aow enjoy. in the back ground
to the rostrum hung a large flag
bearing the stars and stripes and
also the insiguia of the Mecklen-
burg Declaration of Indepen-
dence, aud avove this flag were
the portraits and busts of the
fathers and foanders of the Uni-
versity 10oking down upon us as
- though they still watched over our
every interest. In contrast with
othis was the owhite and blue�
with which the building was
draped and the many pictures of
the University as it is today
pointing out to us the many
blessings avd privileges cf peace
and prosperity we enjoy tht our
forefatners did not enjoy.
At 11:30 oTclock the forty mem.
bers of the Senior ciass, robed in
their cups and gowns formed in
front of the PresidentTs 6ffice and
the procession headed by Presi-
dent Alderman, Dr. J. S- Felix
and Dr. Thomas Hume, marched
tothe Hall. Dr. Hume opened
the service by asking the choir to
ging a yery appropriate hymn
after which be read a selection
from St. PauiTs Epistle to the
Romans. After another hymn
Dr. Hume presented the Rev. Dr-
Ae Felix, who took his text from
Romans 8: 28.
oAnd we know
taat all things work together for
good to them that love God, to
them who are thecalled accoraing
to His purpose.�
Dr. Felix said in substance:
oGod in the creation of the world
must have had a definite purpose
in view. Tbe world is not an
accident. God works for His own
~ glory and this was His purpose in
ereating the world. This purpose
must have been a benevolent one.
oMoen should not make their stan- |
dard and expect God to measure
up to it and to fit to their theory,
~bat they should first learn the
truth and the ways of God and
a Os
bring themselves up to that�
- oJt GodTs purpcse was a benev-
go he could sin and tear down
dom? Man would not
on man if he had not been
i id
i Joerity and courage we claim i
rpose is a benevolent |p we claim in
could not have had a
have made man jdst to gét an
jopportunity to down him. We
are largely what we determine to
be. If we trust in God and
determine to/make the bst of
everything we shall find the very
adversities of life working togeth-
er: for good.�
GodTs purpose must be falfilled.
This calls into question the
sovereignty of God and the free
agency of man. oThese are
wedded together. They blend
into each other {as the night into
the day. We can tell one from
the other but we canTt find the
dividing line. Text does not say
all{hings are good but that all
things work together for good.
Good in the world is predominant.
If it does pot so 1t is because our
crimes and misfortunes are kept
constantly before our minds
while the many millions who toil
on patiently and in a Godlike
way are never mentioned. If we
could see all the good we should
no louger doubt that the good
predominates and that God's
purpose is being fulfilled.�
oThose who love God sre one
with God. To love God isto be
in harmony with God and want
the things that He wants. When
a man becomes conscious. of his
ignorance and weakness he turns
to God and confesses his wicked-
ness. Then God instead of
chastening him forgives him and
helps him to lead a new life and
wook for good.�
Dre. Felix closed his sermon b
repeating that beautiful hymn of
Cowpers: oGod moves in &%
mysterious way, His wonders to
perform.�
The sermon was an abie one
commanding the close attention
of the congregation for more than
an hour, and it will doubtless be
long remembered by many of
those who heard it. X.

~he yiciousness. of our news~
paper situation is in having all

to pay. The newspaper is too
cheap: So long as it is cheap it

HarperTs Round Table, tells the fol-
lowing good story of an April fool
joke that his father played cn him
and the way he got even:
In my bread and butter cays I
was a frequent and unhappy victim
of what Shakespeare calls a raging
tooth. A Jong siege with a certain
molar had left me one early spring
day with a broken spirit and a
swollen face, My father had walked
the floor with me, and had groaned
with me, and had suffered in his
feelings and in hissympathies more
perhaps than had suffered in a phys-
ical way the patient himself.
He was going that morning to at-
tend the funeral of his old friend,
Dr. McPherson, and he asked me be-
was confined"what I thought I
would like him to bring me back"
a way of his whenever I was in any
serious condition of invalidism, I
demanded without hesitation a
brick of maple sugar. A _ very
person in my peculiar condition and
one which appealed strongly to his
own sense of the ridiculous.
When he returned at dinner time,
he carried the brick enveloped in
many series of. papers, beginning
with the coarsest kind and ending
particular bit of cord or ribbon, all
ment was long and laborious, but it
was persistently performed, and
when the brick was revealed, lo, it
was just a brick"not of maple sug-
ar, but a plain, ordinary red clay,
building brick, which he had taken
'from some pile of similar bricks on
bis way up town. The disappoint-
ment was not very bitter, for [knew
that something else was ~coming,
P. M, |and I realized that it was the first |
| of April and that I had been April |
fooled.
The something else, I remember,
was that most amusing of amusing
books, George Derby's oPhoenixi-
fana,T? then just published, and over
it I forget my tootbache, but not
my maple sugar. All this happened
when I was about i2?-years of age,
»}and I have evcr since. associated
Squibob with the swect sap of the
maple, never with raging teeth.
It was necessary, however, to get
even with my father. Not an easy
matter I knew, and] consulted my
Uncle John, a youth some six or
eight years my senior. He advised
patient waiting. Theiather, he said,
was absolutely devoted to The Com-
every day from frontispiece to end
"market report, book notices, obit-
uary notices, advertisements and
all"and if I could hold myself in for
a whole year my Uncle John thought
it vould be worthit. The Commer
fore he left the house"to which it
