BACCALAUREATE SERMON i.Wn s.,m rrdnatin flaw Inspiring Sermon to Graduating Class j of Hieh School by Rev. C. L Greaves Theme the Best Invest ment of One's Life. Commencement of the Lumberton graded school began yesterday morn ing with the baccalaureate sermon by Rev. Chas. L. Greaves at the First oapust c,nurcn, oi wnicn ne is pas-; t0r. bervices began at 11 ociocki. There was special music by the choir t and a solo by Mrs. R. R, Carlyle. . KeV. W. tl JJaVIS, past0r 0I Lumberton Baptist church, led the first prayer Rev. J. Frank Gorrell, pastor f the Presbyterian church, read the Scipture lesson and led m the second prayer. Mr. Greaves took as his text Matthew 16th chapter and 13th verse: "Far whosoever will Jsave his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it." What investment are you mak ing in life, asked Mr. Greaves, and what dividends are you realizing on your investment? We all make an investment in life one way or the other. What are you going to do with yourself? Will you make an in vestment for Jesus or will you make it for self and lose your life? ask ed the speaker. He brought out very forcibly the importance of mak ing the decision now in the right way, the importance of losing one's life for Christ's sake. Our treasure a n d 'K e a ve n' aH " bur " uc W ings oved yonder. We were nqj known oy any one Deiore we came into this old world but shall be re membered after we are dead. We would be remembered by our works here on earth, whether we served the Master cr not. He brought out the difference in the dividends that we would receive in living a life for Christ and one for the devil. If we ve a life for Christ we shall receive happiness in this world and a home in heaven as our dividend and if we serve not the Master we shall lose our life and not receive either of the above. He gave as an illustration how good work could bs started and ?d and work of Florence Nightingale, the yjung woman who went forth in the Crimean War and did such a great work in caring for the wounded sol diers. She wa, the founder of the Red Cross work that is doing such a great work today in' all parts of the world. He set her up as an example for every one to live by. He brought out many interesting points in regard to the necessity of living a Christian life. He said that he was' indeed glad to learn that ev vry member of the graduating class had professed religion and sincerely hoped that they would continue to live a life of usefulness and consid-! er the serious side of life. lie said j c not many people thought that thi3f world owed them a living, but that Lucy h ci e mi.-l j ivcii. uiul iiu wlmhi did not owe them anything at all. Every one of us owes the world a great debt. Its accumulated treas ures cp litTture and art and science through the ages are curs. But we are sclvent debtors, we can pay out and P-'t the world in our debt if we try. The above is only an outline of the sermon. It was one of the best sermn- ever heard in Lumberton. Supt. R. E. Sentelle led the clos ing prayer. GERMANY WITHHOLDS FINAL DECISION Awaits Answer of United States to Note Justifies Act:,on in Sinking Lusitania On Ground of Self-De-fense. Berlin Dispatch, 30th.

He said it was a ques- ti0n of enlarging the present build - inj' or er?cting another building on a corner of the same lot, a building of about 4 rooms From informa - tion he had been able to gather, it:lst 'ove nis or nei, t.aS, o,0f it o-voc ,.rM ua n spnarntP huil.limr than to a,!d nti ' to the old. Mr. J. M. Russell, archi-M"e tect, said that this was his view, when called upon. He thinks there are obstacles in the wav of practical enlargement of the present building that make it a more practical and economical proposition, perhaps, to , erect a new building. Mr. R. D. Caldwell said that while he had supported and voted for the I recent proposition for bonds for a township high school he was glad it was aeieated icr ne was now con- ,.iiorl Kat if xv,ll,l Vin-P hm n mitnUp tVmt ho ,ti.l not. believe thero I woua be opposition to a bond issue nfine , t0 tne town, if that were' d t b necessary, and it would b necessarv fir the school trustees ! to determine that and make their j recommendation, that that meeting I than refer the I matter to the school board, to which ! t)r- ard had been delegated power and responsibility in the matter. Mr. II B. Jennings said he was in favor of ny steps necessary to meet the needs of the school. He said he felt that a special invitation had been extended to him to be present at the meeting, that he was one of those who had been referred to as beintr in favor of "the very best" school facilities; that he had nothing to be ashamed of in his attitude toward the recent proposed township bond issue, and tnat noDoay naa ever un- derston him to say that he was not . i . 1 1 in favor of education above the sev enth grade. He suggested to the school trustees that in considering what will be necessary it might be well to investigate as to whether it w-'j!d be practicable to remove the dome from the present building and add a third stcry, instead of adding to that building in some otner way or erecting a new building.
