FOX The baccalaureate services O '^liaa- beth College, at St. Mark’s Lutheran cl^urch attracted a congregation yes terday morning that more than filled that beautiful edifice. The church was crowded. The church was set with Easter lilies and ferns, and with the white and gold altar cloths, made an effect most beautiful. In the middle of the church, where the aisles cross, a pyramid of palms and ferns added to the beauty of the floral adornment. The graduating class occupied the seats of honor, and It can be truly said that no handsomer class ever wore the cap and gown at Elizabeth than the class of ’11. President King, of Elizabeth, con ducted the opening service, after which Rev. Dr. L. A.

He is busying himself all the while with the better things of life and enriching his treasury with all that is good and true and worth while, and he has no time lo cultivate these unfortunate preju dices, which would probably present themselves were he on the lookout for them. Instead of prejudicing others the calm, consistent nature merely concerns Itself about the possession of those friendships with which it sympa thizes. One reason for our prejudices is jealousy pure and simple. There are few persons who are willing to admit that the latter quality has any part in their moral make-up, but that it exists to a greater or lesser degree in nearly every nature is unquestionable.— Charleston News and Courier.

Corinthians 4:18, “:^r the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eter nal.” The text was a peculiarly ap propriate one for the discourse, which was a plea for the cultivation of the spiritual as being the only perma nent and enduring part of the person ality. “It was on this idea set forth in this text that Plato based his im mortal system of idealism,” said the speaker. This is also St. Paul’s test of reality. Accepting this principle, we are called upon frequently to re vise our estimate of things. Many things that we have looked up as visionary we come to realize are the most real and lasting things in life. Mind is more real than matter. Mots of us feel that we are sure of our bodies, but are in doubt about our minds. This is because the first impressions we receive come through our sense and the first lessons vfe learn are about our bodies. Our bodies have been so closely identified w’ith all our tiioughts and with ail our conscious existence that we feel as if the body is the real person and the mind only a fraction of the brain. “Every atom in the human body, so physiologists tell us, changes once in seven years and yet through out all this change and in spite of it there remaitis the consciousness of personal identity. Mental work is more real than physical work. This is proven in the case of many great men. Take for example the Apostie Paul. The period of his work extended o^;er a period of thirty years, but in that time he established churches which long survived him, and, though they have now passed away, his spiijit still lives In the membership of thousands of succeeding churches and is as strong .as ever. “Once the most famous name in the financial world was Weller, Though now the name Is almost for gotten. The spirit he infused into the realm of finance, however, still ex- ists.-'Just so will the names of Rocke feller, Carnegie and Morgan be for gotten, but as long as men are in terested in financial matters the spirit infused into the world of fi nance will still be felt. It the spirit ual and unseen part of man that is imperishable and enduring. “Scientists tell us that back of man and long before his creation there was a lower order of animals, that back of the animal there was an order of fishes, etc., on back to a protoplasm as the lowest order of life and that back of that was chaos. The Holy Bible tells us that before everything there was God, and science cannot deny it. There must have been a great first cause and It must have been self-existent. You may call it matter, you may call it mind, you may call it God. It hides itself behind invisible laws, but the one thing certain is that it exists.” “Agreeing that the fir^t cause is mind the speaker contended that there cannot be anything in the ef fect which is not in the cause. The stream cannot rise higher than its source. If we are persons then our creator must be a person,” Finance Q>mmtltee To Meet Tonight With c'hairman E. W.
