Commencement Hermon
Dr. H. E. Spence, of Duke Uni
versity, delivered the commence
ment sermon In the Louisburg
Methodist Church, Sunday morn
ing. May 21, at 11 o'clock.
His text was, "Who Knows But
What Thou Art Come to the King
dom for Such a Time as This."
The minister said in heart, "We
are in the midst of times that call
for extraordinary leadership and
personal integrity. There has nev
er been a time In the history of
the'"world when young people were
called on to face such severe temp
tations. And there has never been
a time when there was such op
portunity to yield to these temp
tations. We would not be surpris
ed on any morning to And things
happening, the like of which the
world never witnessed before.
"The remedy for the situation
that prevails is in forming by
somebody. You will be called on
to be that somebody. The men of
the past who have led in world
movements did not start under
any more favorable circumstances
than you have. The leaders in the
world today with the possible ex
ception of the President of the
United States has a lowly origin
and limited advantages. It is for
yoc so to use the advantages
you have as to make our commu
nities and cities better. It is a
matter of wanting to."
Invocation was said by Rev. E.
H. Davis, and scripture was read
by Rev. J. G. Phillips.
Hymns of praise were sung by
the congregation, and anthems,
"The Heavens Resound" and
"Jesus Word of God Incarnate"
were sung by the Louisburg Aca
pella Choir.
Y.M.C.A and Y.W.C.A. Sermon.
Y.M. and Y.W.C.A. sermon was
preached by Dr. Walter Patten in
the Louisburg Baptist Church,
Sunday evening, May 21, at 8 P.
M.
He took as his theme the inci
dent of James and John request
ing of Jesus that they sit the one
upon the right hand and the other
upon the left hand of the Master
when he came in his glory.
The idea was presented that
I these disciples proved to be bar
gain hunters for rewards and
i glory without having paid the
i real cost for such rewards.
In the law of as ye sow so shall
ye reap there is written the fruits
! of our labor. These fruits come
not by change, or luck, but as a
result of labor and responses to
opportunities. Special favors are
won not given because of our ask
ing.
Science has given to us the
knowledge of laws of growth and
development. These laws must be
observed and we labor in the light
of their truth.
There is also the faith of the
Father's abiding presence and in
that presence we may live with
I the assurance of its guiding force,
i Prayer was offered by Warren
jPetteway and scripture wo3 read
I by Faye West.
The anthem "Crossing The
, Bar" written by Barrett, was sung
1 by the Acapella Choir.
Alumni Banquet
I'nique and different was the
! plan o f the program for the Louis
| burg College Alumni Banquet
which was held in the dining hall
of the college on Saturday night,
-May 20th, at 7 o'clock. Mrs.
James Malone. President, presid
ing.

| Today, and Tomorrow, and in
cluded the following numbers:

i Toast of Yesterday. Mr. Edwin
j'Malone; Louisburg College of

J Collins; Toast of Tomorrow. Nan
rfcjr Carlisle Griffin; Soag of To
morrow. (piano solo) by Jane
| Moon; Louisburg College of To
Lmorrow, I)r. Walter Patten.
s Very singular was the welcome
.extended by Mrs. Malone as she
used a copy of a welcome written
in verse and used thirty-flve years
ago at the Louisburg College
' Alumnae Banquet by the late Mrs.
! Annie Fuller Malone. one of
' Louisburg's best beloved and res
: pected citizens and one of the
early graduates of the college.
Interesting indeed were the
talks given by Mr. Malone and
Mrs. Allen, recalling days of the
past when kerosene lamps and
oddly worded rules and practices
reigned supreme.
None could better tell of Louis
burg College of Today than Dr.
Earnhardt, who as Its leader and
guide has shared its Joys and sor
rows, its fortunes and misfortunes

the future gcowth of the Institu

sentative for the college, has al
ready rendered it an invaluable
service and now as Its leader we
are sure will continue to put forth
every effort to assure Its contin
ued growth.
Nancy Carlisle Griffin and Jane

future students of the college.
