Many Graduates in Class of 1935 ? Banquet Well Attended Rev. E. L. Hillman, pastor of the Methodist church of Durham and ardent worker among the young people ot his church de livered the baccalaureate sermon to a large student body and to a host of friends of Louisburg Col lege Sunday, May 26 in the Louis burg Methodist church. "Not as though I bad ctlready attained, either were already per-; feet: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus"-Phil. 3:12 was the text us ed. Qraduation is an outstanding occasion. We have only a few ot1 tnese in life; High School gradua tion, Junior College graduation, College graduation, marriage, hence we should appreciate them and grasp the full meaning of each. Tnls graduation which you! are now celebrating offers you a, problem, one which you as an in dividual working in a group must tace and solve ? You are facing a new world, this is your responsi bility. How shall you accept it? Attainable information in any ihk is not sufficient to its solution; lace It with Uod and in His Spirit and the way win be made lighi. 'He died tbat we might have ligui. The life and Spirit of Uod ma > seem to some of us as attached to no part of our daily life but, friends it is as grounded and tached to our lives as is tiiai beautiful Mount frajiyama to the isle of which it is apart. "Is your mind opened 10 m? breeze of truth?" Do you gather information, Bift the truth, and stand tirm by it? Have an open mind. Again you (lac? come thr ough Louisburg College; . but to reverse the question has Louis burg College come through you? If the Answer is affirmative, then you should be liberal, square minded, a true incarnation of the spirit of adventure and have a definite goal In front of you. "There is a new day facing this world ? a day In which you mU3t render Justice and liberty to all alike ? not by some tricks of poli tician* but rather by reality of the responsible citizenship. Paul's problem that He faced and sought to solve was the building of a character that Christ may use. The promise that whatever good work is begun Is going to be fin ished gives each of us a purpose in living. It may be that we will not finish the task we begin and think it a failure but a master hand will take it up and complete the good works. So, let's give our selves unreservedly to God who took away the sins of the world. The service was begun by the singing of "Come thou Almighty King" and a prayer led by Rev. O. P. FltOerald. Rev. FltzQerald read as a Scripture lesson the third chapter of Phillippians be ginning with the thirteenth verse ? Following this Miss Amelia Bruns, voice teacher of Louisburg College sang beautifully "The Ninety and the Nine" accompani ed at tk? piano by Miss Drusa Wllker, piano teacher of the Col lege. After Rev. Hillman's sermon the doxology was sung and Rev. E. H. Davis gave the benedic tion. Sutfday evening at It o'clock in the Methodist Church the Toung Women's and Young Men's Christian-Association of the Col lege joined In a service conducted by Miss Mary Ethel Wynn. > The service began with the sing ing of "Onward, Christian Soldi ers". Mr. Ubey C rowel! read Scrip ture from Acts after which Rev. O. P. FltiOerald offered prayer. Mrt Lloyd Early rendered well a solo as an offertory. After a few words of Introduc tion by Miss Winn, Rev. A. D. Wilcox, president of the College,! addressed the associations. Acta 9:6 was his text; ? "And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go Into the city, and It shall be told thee what thou must do." Paul'* ac tions had been questionable to himself as well as to others. He had been journeying from city to city persecuting those professing Jesus Christ and now aftqr being blinded by a light while on the rbad Into the city And lying pros trate on the ground heard a voice say, "Arise and go Into the city and It shall be told thee what thou must do." Arise, go, and receive orders. Arise ? this is the first essential, we never gain ground by being down. We must stand in order .to go somewhere. So Arise, stand, be firm on your (eet and go, and it shall be told thee, what thou must do. Paul's orders were to change the world, to overthrow the Roman Enrpire of which he was a citizen and your orders, students, are face the new day problems, be an individual If necessary, stand up if you think your convictions right and don't follow the crowd. Have a purpose, a goal and stand up for Jesus." Immediately the hymn, "Stand up for Jesus" was sung and the Associations watchword said as benediction. - Banquet Louisburg College Commence ment began with the Alumni Banquet on Saturday night, May 25 at 7:30 o'clock in the College dining halls.

Subscribe to The Franklin Times FRANKLIN TIMES POLICY IN COMING ELECTION " t THE FRANKLIN TIMES has been called upon to ascertain how much space it will donate to the Drys in their campaign against the forth coming whiskey Control election. As yet no committee from the Wets has called upon it for space to con duct a campaign for carrying the election. The TIMES' position is clearly this. It costs money and, a good bit, to publish a paper and while we will be glad to donate a very limited amount of space to each side of the ques tion when we have the space to spare, we do not feel it our duty to bear the burden of financing the advertising expense for either side. .Therefore any space of any consequence furnished to either side will be classed as advertising and will HAVE TO BE PAID FOE. All advertising and all communications will have to be signed by some responsible person or persons. All communications and, or advertising will have to be presented in time to be properly handled for publioation? not later than Wednesday, morn ing of each week. All copy MUST be so written as not only to be easily read by the printer, but MUST be such as will comply and conform with postal mailing re quirements, newspaper ethics and common fairness.
