MELLCLF RQISES . THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON ' ZA ,full house enjoyed every part of the baccalaureate pro- gram at the high school auditorium Sunday morning, May20. The following was the order of service: Men's quartet, Help Me to Be Holy Messrs. Laurence Moore, O. F. Potter, C. E. Potter, and W. W. Wright, Prayer, Rev. W. C. Teays, vocal solo, Crossing the Bar, Miss Norma Gardner, Sripture lesson, Rev. M. H. Eells, vocal solo, Be- yond the Vale, O. F. Potter, sermon, The Victorious Lifef' Dean G. W. Trout of Pittsburg, song, America, congregation, Benediction, O. F. Potter. The large audience was made to feel that Dean Trout was really preaching a sermon not only by the very rich substance of the sermon but perhaps more by the tender spirit manifest- ed by the preacher thruout the entire discourse. Everyone present was made to feel that The Victorious Life is not only possible in this day of many adverse, currents but that it isfvery much worth his while to obtain. The speaker made it very clear that ufnless one masters the early impulses of his life that those very impulses will master him to his utter con- fusion and downfall. This lesson was brot close home to all because of an illustration used of a man who once lived in Bronson who had failed to master those early impulses and who had died an imbecile because he was overcome hy his own vices. Dean Trout .gave his hearers many other fine thots for meditation but appears to the writer that this was the par- amount thot of the speaker. lt is no doubt true that the ser- mon carried more weight with the audience because a large per cent knew of the hard struggle in Prof. Trout's own life to achieve success.

President Thomas Butcher of the Emporia State Teachers Training College was introduced by Supt. C. E. Potter in a few words of hearty appreciation and well deserved praise and spoke most forcefully on the necessity of education and our educational system keeping pace with the rapid forward move in all other lines. In all his remarks he was accorded full agreement on the part of his audience, who feel now more than ever that more and more sacrifice, or rather investment must be made in our children thru our school, of whom we are demanding more and more every day. ' Supt. Potter then spoke briefly on the high comparative value that should be placed on an education, the merits and high worth of what this class has accomplished, and announc-
