THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON ' XA ,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. Wrightg Prayer, Rev. W. C. Teaysg vocal solo, Crossing the Bar, Miss Norma Gardnerg Sripture lesson, Rev. M. H. Eellsg vocal solo, Be- yond the Vale, O. F. Potterg sermon, The Victorious Lifef' Dean G. W. Trout of Pittsburgg song, America, congregationg 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 unless 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 by his own vices. Dean Trout gave his hearers many other fine thots for meditation but it 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. He used for his text: Prov- 16:32- He that ruleth his own spirit is better than he that taketh a city. And Rev. 612'- And he went forth conquering and to conquer.
