A, THOMPSON, Musical Concert ! the annual sermon to one of the largest congregations that has ever assembled ft Barkers. His text was from Acts 16th chapter and 30th verse What Shall Do To Be Saved. As our read ers will recall, this was the lan guage of the jailor on entering the jail, and finding that the doors of the jail had been opened miraculously The context gives an account of the saving of the damsel, the soothsayer, whom, it is said, had brought her mas ters much gain by her sooth say mg, and also the conversion of Lydiathe seller of purple and her household. He emphasized the necessity of training the mind and heart in order to get the proper conception of life. He called attention to the benighted condition of the damsel and how she had been enslaved on ac count of this condition and how she became free, upon the en- ightenment of her heart and mind. He deplored that some parents deprive their children of the advantages of moral and mental training in order that they may use them as so many cattle in the accumulation of wealth- Hp showed by some very appropriate illustrations the duty of educating the boys and girls regardless of cost. That after all, character can not be measured by a money standard. He also emphasized though that parents have a right to claim the blessincs of moral and mental enlightenment for their children as, ; illustrated in , the case, of The commencement exercises of Barkers High School were held Saturday and Sunday, and proved interesting and full of en joyment to the large crowd in at tendance. The welcoming address was made by Mr. .W. H. Humphrey who was for years a citizen of the Barkers community and has the interest and wellfare of theschool at heart, it has had no more liberal patron or energetic worker in its interests. His speech was delivered in bis usual easy and pleasant manner and was much appreciated. In speak ing of the conduct of the crowd, Mr. Hunphrey said that a special act was passed in the last legis lature incorporating Barkers High School and giving them the right of a police force to serve on all public occasions; that there was a man present who had kind ly consented to act as chiefrmar- shall, and who has been a very successful official, (he referred of course, to Mr- J. A. Barker); that a number lof police would be present during the occasion to prevent any of the disturbances which joo often arise when,-so large a crowd gathers for a good time- , V ; A contest between eleven little girls then took place.
