C., May 3t °97.A large and appreciative con-_ ~gregation of visitors,towus peopleand students gathered in GerrardHall Sunday morning to hear thebaccalaureate sermon by Rev. Dr.J. §. Felx, pastor of the FirstBaptist church of Asheyille, N. C.a The hall itself seemed to pre-sent a sacred appearance for aswe gazed upon its walls touanythings were to be seen to call tomemory the darker days ~of theState aud the republic as well asthe struggles of oar forefathersand to fill our hearts with grati-tude to God at the blessings weaow enjoy. in the back groundto the rostrum hung a large flagbearing the stars and stripes andalso the insiguia of the Mecklen-burg Declaration of Indepen-dence, aud avove this flag werethe portraits and busts of thefathers and foanders of the Uni-versity 10oking down upon us as- though they still watched over ourevery interest. In contrast withothis was the owhite and blue�with which the building wasdraped and the many pictures ofthe University as it is todaypointing out to us the manyblessings avd privileges cf peaceand prosperity we enjoy tht ourforefatners did not enjoy.At 11:30 oTclock the forty mem.bers of the Senior ciass, robed intheir cups and gowns formed infront of the PresidentTs 6ffice andthe procession headed by Presi-dent Alderman, Dr. J. S- Felixand Dr. Thomas Hume, marchedtothe Hall. Dr. Hume openedthe service by asking the choir toging a yery appropriate hymnafter which be read a selectionfrom St. PauiTs Epistle to theRomans. After another hymnDr. Hume presented the Rev. Dr-Ae Felix, who took his text fromRomans 8: 28.oAnd we knowtaat all things work together forgood to them that love God, tothem who are thecalled accoraingto His purpose.�Dr. Felix said in substance:oGod in the creation of the worldmust have had a definite purposein view. Tbe world is not anaccident. God works for His own~ glory and this was His purpose inereating the world. This purposemust have been a benevolent one.oMoen should not make their stan- |dard and expect God to measureup to it and to fit to their theory,~bat they should first learn thetruth and the ways of God anda Osbring themselves up to that�- oJt GodTs purpcse was a benev-go he could sin and tear downdom? Man would noton man if he had not beeni idi Joerity and courage we claim irpose is a benevolent |p we claim incould not have had ahave made man jdst to gét anjopportunity to down him. Weare largely what we determine tobe. If we trust in God anddetermine to/make the bst ofeverything we shall find the veryadversities of life working togeth-er: for good.�GodTs purpose must be falfilled.This calls into question thesovereignty of God and the freeagency of man. oThese arewedded together. They blendinto each other {as the night intothe day. We can tell one fromthe other but we canTt find thedividing line. Text does not sayall{hings are good but that allthings work together for good.Good in the world is predominant.If it does pot so 1t is because ourcrimes and misfortunes are keptconstantly before our mindswhile the many millions who toilon patiently and in a Godlikeway are never mentioned. If wecould see all the good we shouldno louger doubt that the goodpredominates and that God'spurpose is being fulfilled.�oThose who love God sre onewith God. To love God isto bein harmony with God and wantthe things that He wants. Whena man becomes conscious. of hisignorance and weakness he turnsto God and confesses his wicked-ness. Then God instead ofchastening him forgives him andhelps him to lead a new life andwook for good.�Dre. Felix closed his sermon brepeating that beautiful hymn ofCowpers: oGod moves in &%mysterious way, His wonders toperform.�The sermon was an abie onecommanding the close attentionof the congregation for more thanan hour, and it will doubtless belong remembered by many ofthose who heard it.
