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 “this was the “white 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 o’clock the forty mem. bers of the Senior ciass, robed in their cups and gowns formed in front of the President’s 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. Paui’s Epistle to the Romans. After another hymn Dr. Hume presented the Rev. Dr- Ae Felix, who took his text from Romans 8: 28. “And 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: “God 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. “Moen 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” - “Jt God’s 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.” God’s purpose must be falfilled. This calls into question the sovereignty of God and the free agency of man. “These are wedded together. They blend into each other {as the night into the day. We can tell one from the other but we can’t 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.” “Those 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: “God 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.

The Boy Waited » Year to Pay His Father Back, Laurence Hutton, in an article in Harper’s 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 “Phoenixi- fana,’? 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.
