Trela D. Collins, of Dur ham, who was pastor of the Loulsburg Baptist church abont fourteen years'ago, delivered the commencement sermon at the Loulsburg High School Sunday, May 13th, using the subject "A. Synthetic Life." This life, he described as one In which there are different kinds of elements, each having an afTinity one for the other, thus making a real life. First he pictured an outdoor scene Including three streams, one a stream of knowledge com ing frdm a rather high elevation, the second, a placid little stream of love and friendship; and the third, a stream of rather high elevation and having a hard time making Its way. This he /* called the stream of religion ? all of these flow toward the place of human destiny. Mr. Collins then pictured the type of life which chose to drink from any one of these streams alone, showing how one-sided It would be. Finally he described the well-rounded life of the per son who drinks of all three streams, having as the result a keen mind, a sympathetic heart, and the realization of the power of Ood. Rev. Collins urged each grad uate to make his or her life a synthetic one, beautifnl and well rounded for the Savior who Is [worthy of the best. After the processional, during which the high school graduates marched in and took their places in the front of the .auditorium, the audience, led by the choir, sang "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." ' The Invocation was said by Rev. D. P. Harris, Pastor of the Baptist church, and the scripture lesson was read by Rev. O. P. FltzGerald, pastor of the Metho dist church. The Loulsburg- High School Glee Club, under direction of Mrs. O. T. Yarboro, sang "Thanks Be to God," and a lovely trio "On Music's Wing," was rendered by Misses Edna Perry, Hazel John son and Mary Anna Clifton. After the singing of "Come Thou Almighty King" by the audience, the benediction was pro nounced by Rev. Collins and the graduates filed out as the Re cessional was played.
