CAROLINA KltlDAY, MAY 27, 1038 (TEN PAGES) NUMBER 15 LOUISBURG COLLEGE HOLDS COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Rev. Samuel Maxwell Delivers Bac calaureate Sermon DR. J. HENRY HIGH SMITH DELIVERS ADDRESS At Graduating Kierclsm; Large Number Graduates; Presents Oil Portrait of Late A. I>. Wil cox; Entire Program of High Order and Greatly Appreciated And Enjoyed by the Large Number Attending Baccalaureate Sermon "Life is a glorious, thrilling adventurer -a worthwhile invest ment," was the wonderful mes sage brought by the Reverend -Samuel A. Maxwell, Pastor of the Methodist Church, Williamston, N. C., to the graduating class of Louisburg College in the com mencement sermon delivered Sun day morning. May 22. at 11 A. M. in the Louisburg Methodist Church. Rev. Maxwell directed atten tion to the scripture read by Dr. J. D. Simons, pastor of the Louis burg Bapt'ist Church. This was the first fifteen verses of the first chapter of John, the particular quotation used by the speaker be ing the fourth verse. "In him was life; and the life was the light* ot men." It is only tragedy, said Rev. Maxwell for boys and girls to go out into life after having spent so much for an education and prey on their fellowmen. One must have the right view of life if he would be a Samaritan, one to up lift his fellowmen. Wejjxif have different philoso phies^bout life, said the speaker. We may agree with the Epicureans that life is a time to eat drink and be merry ? we may look up on life as drudgery, as too short, as too loug. None of these alibis are grounded. We have only to look at Alexander the Great, who accomplished so much before the age of 32, Lindbergh who rose to fame so young, or the Master Christ himself, who was only in his early thirties when he died. They accomplished so much in so short a time. To find the real meaning of life, said Dr. Maxwell. I would not' send you to the scientists or to the philosophers, but to Jesus Christ. He is the authority on life. He is life, its source, its in terpreter, its definer. Life funda mentally is character. It is not an end but a journey. The very un certainty of life is its glory and interest. The cjiarni of life is not to know what is coming. This spirit of adventure is what keeps life from becoming insipid. But this spirit calls for intelligence and faith. We must make pro gress step by step as did Edison, the Wright brothers and others who have attained success. The world is a great market, con tinued Rev. Maxwell, in which we invest. Jesus, he said, is more interested in the investments we make rather than in the returns we receive. The speaker cited facts to show that humanity is advancing and urged* the gradu ates to enter into this advance ment in the thrilling and glorious spirit of adventiure. The speaker was introduced by Pres. D. E. Earnhardt as a gradu ate of Duke and Yale Universities and former* head of the Depart ment of Religious Education at Asbury College. He is at present pastor of the First Methodist Church at Williamston, N. C. Just prior to the sermon and following the entrance of the graduates and college faculty, a hymn "O Worship the King" was sung by the congregation and a special anthem. "Father, O Hear Us," was presented by the Louis burg College Singers. Invocation was spoken by Rev. Earnhardt. Mr. I. D. Moon, director of music, gave a solo', "How Lovely Are Thy Dwelling^." In response to the benediction pronounced by the Rev. Maxwell, the College Singers sang "God Be With You 'Til We Meet Again." Mrs. O. Y. Yarborough was or ganist) for these services. Y. W. and Y. M. Sermon The Y. W. and Y. M. sermon was given at 8 o'clock, P. M. on Sunday afternoon. President Earnhardt had been chosen by the Christian organizations to deliver the sermon. The message was worth while and calculated to in spire the young people to place their lives In the hands of God, to follow the gleam that leads to a useful career. The preacher's text was from the 135th Psalm, 5th verse: "Thou has beset me be hind and before and hast laid thy hand upon me." Graduating Exercises Dr. J. Henry Hlghsmith, Direc tor of the Division of Instruction al Service of North Carolina^ de livered the address at the gradu ating exercises of Louisburg Col-: lege held in the Louisburg Meth odist Church, Tuesday morning. May 24, at 10 o'clock. In presenting the speaker. Rev. D. E. Earnhardt. President of Louisburg College, reminded his audience of the dreams of Gover nor Charles B. AycocUe , who strove t<o make it possible for every boy and girl in the state to have a worthwhile education. Dr. Highsmith, said he, is one of the leaders in the education of North Carolina today, who is helping to keep up Aycocke's ideals. "I hope this will not be an end of your learning." said Dr. High smith to the graduates by way of introduction. Then, announcing his topic "Education of Youth To day." he proceeded to show the trend of our modern education for the youth of our land and to point out what it is hoped can and will be done for the education of pre-school children and adults, who have completed their school careers. The speaker emphasized the tremendous responsibility which rests upon our educational lead ers. schools, teachers and parents to help our boys and girls not on ly to get "book-learning" but to know how to care for their bodies, how to work together successful ly, how to judge the value of things, how to use spare or leis ure t'ime to best advantage, how to select a profession or vocation wisely, etc. In further explaining these things. Dr. Highsmith referred to he "Declaration of Interdepend ence?' formulated by representa ' i ves of Mie youth of our .nation. This listed things which societv should provide: briefly, for phy sical and mental development; social guidance; competent lead ership; opportunity for self-ex pression; the right to speak the truth through free press, freedom of speech, etc.; participation in artairs of a democratic or ad vancing society. Under each of hese headings was a statement of the responsibilities to be as sumed by youth in helping in this) interdependence of itself and so ciety. This, said the. speaker,' was done to the end that through j the opportunities provided youth, democratic ideas might be per fected in the youth of America. Often youth wishes to put the I whole responsibility or some one! rise's shoulder declared the' speaker. Then he questioned the! Sradurtes fins, "Wl;a> is your I ?ittituda toward your home, your) ?otnmuniiy, your tile?" Youtli har much to be thankful for in this country today, yet if we make progress there are certain facts that must be considered namely: (1) How extensive is our youth problem? (2) Where do our youth live? (3) To what strata of so ciety do the .larger portion be long? Dr. Highsmith stated that approximately one fifth of the' population of the United States is between the ages of 15 and 24, ? majority single, and predominate- j ly of the white race. Most of them I live in the towns and cities and! most of 4 them belong in an eco-f uomic group that is so limited that desired progress is not possi ble. Sixty per cent, said he, live in homes that are below the nor mal level of health and efficiency. The speaker then rounded out his discussion by asking "What 1 should the schools teach if the J youth are to receive what they ' need?" Here he jnentioned vari- ! ous criticisms th&t have been made of the school curriculum! saying that thfey were justified for the changes in the curricu- ! turn have not kept pace with the! changes in the outside world It has changed only slightly. Wei must have a dynamic, life-center ed curriculum with more and bet ter provision made for guidance, said he, with emphasis on emo tional reactions and social atti tudes rather than knowledge alone. To the graduates, he urged "Take an inventory. Find out what yon,have. Your education is not complete. Go on. Ignorance is i the menace of civilization. We I want more and fuller life." An oil portrait of the late Pres. | A. D. tWilfcox was presented to the College by the family of Dr. D. T. 1 Smithwick and appropriately ac cepted by W. A. Cade, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Louis burg College, who reminded his hearers that it was Dr. Wilcox who purposed in his heart that! this college should not be swept ' away in the tide of depression and j debt. It is him that we owe its very exis{enca*today. This gradu- ! ating class and future ones, said he, represent the continuation of purpose of the life of Dr. Wilcox. Prior to the address by Dr. Highsmith. Mr. Ellis Williamson of the graduaing class favored hii (Continued on page five) Election Hours rolls Open at 7 A. M. aiul Close At 7 I*. M. ?
