Paxton Community High School Reflector 23 BACCALAUREATE SERVICES By a unanimous vote of the class of 1922, Reverend Oscar Purn, pastor of the Swedish Lutheran Church, was chosen to preach the baccalaureate sermon. The service was held Sunday evening, May 21st in the commodious building of that religious organization. Reverend Purn selected as a setting for his theme and address, parts of the fourth Chapter of Nehemiah, concerning the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem. The theme, as developed, proved to be an inspiring ‘ Call for Recruits for Reconstruction work.” The following brief outline will give some impression of the thought movement and content of the address: Introduction The satisfaction and joy of work already accomplished. The seriousness and import of future duties and responsibilities.—The purpose of your calling, a benefit to others, a blessing to your associate.}, a wholesome influence to the community and a power to our nation, and a benediction upon the world.—The rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem a necessity fer protection.—The wall of defense of our nation is education based on Christian religion.—To take part in the work of rebuilding this wall you must show forth the same qualities of the people in our text. Body of the Address I. The first quality is PRAYERFULNESS. In this prayer include thanks for mercies received, and a confession of sins for opportunities neglected. II. WATCHFULNESS. “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” Watcn like a faithful sentinel the enemies that would hinder your progress Stick to your post in the face of an ever active enemy! III. WILLINGNESS TO WORK. To work is an honor. It is ennobling. But it must be done for a good purpose. The work of reconstruction must benefit a whole people. IV. DEFENDING OUR WORK—FIGHTING. Our own life is a tight between good and evil. Enlist as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Put on the whole armour of God. Make a telling blow for righteousness in your own community. V. HELPFULNESS OR SYMPATHY. This means a spirit of UNITY and LOVE. “We are separated.” The graduates are separated after th lr graduation, but the high ideals, for which their school has stood, bind them together. “Wherever” they are they should let these high motives control them. The country calls for real constructive workers. Have you heard the call? Your school has equipped you for the work, God will give you the willingness to work. Conclusion The conclusion was an eloquent and powerful exhortation to be faithful in all things. Beautiful music was furnished by the large choir of the Lutheran church, and contributed greatly to the impressiveness of the services
