REV. E. H. JENKINS PREACHED j
COMMENCEMENT SERMON |
AT AURORA HIGH SCHOOL |
Sunday morning, June A. at eleven I
o'clock, Rev. Edward B. Jenkins, |
pastor of the First Baptist church.!
Washington, preached the commence- j
raent sermon nt the Aurora Public
High School. His subject was "The
Mark of the Master." Ho said In
part: "Our text is found In Calations!
6-17. 'Henceforth let no man trou- '
ble me for I bear in my body the j
marks of the Lord Jesus ' "
Tho speaker recounted the suffer- 1
ings of Paul In his efforts to pread 1
tho gopel of the Lord Jesus Christ. '
In comparing the marks Paul re-'
ceived, he mentionpd those Andrew |
Jackson received from the British
officer when he refused to black his
boots.
Then the speaker mentioned the
marks of the Lord Jesus. These
three he mentioned: First the pierc
ed hands ? Service; Becond the lacer
atod brow ? Sacrifice; third, riven
side? Suffering.
In speaking of service he mention
ed that of which JeRua taught by
washing the disciples feet. Two
pasFages were quoted to show that
he who would be greatest must be
servant of all.
In referring to the life of John
Paton, the great missionary. the
speaker sought to show that a life
was greatest which was one of er
vlce.
In speaking of sacrifice, the
speaker pointed out four kinds; Un-j
conscious, that of grass and wheat'
being used by man and beast; In-J
stlnctlve, that of a bear for her'
young in tlmn of danger; Voluntary,
that of a mother for her child the
momont of erlous trial; Divine, that
of Christ on tho cross making a
great Racrlflce for mankind.
The last point the speaker men
tioned as a mark of the Lord Jesus
was that of suffering. "Christ suf
fered on the cross not only physical
pain but a broken heart. All the
world'n greatest blefttings come thru
suffering. The best In our civil and
religious liberty ha come thru uf
fering."
The speaker exhorted the young
people to live life* of servffte, sac
rifice. and suffering for tit* a pit ft ef
community, state. nation , aa&

London Stunned
By "The
Great Disaster
(By United Press)
I London. Juno 6. ? Earl Kitchener,
the English Minister of War. with
hia entire staff, were lost when the
cruiser Hampshire was sunk north
of Scotland, It was officially announc
ed by the admiralty today. The
statement Indicates that the Hamp
shire was torpedoed off tfce Orkney
Islands.
There is said to be little hope that
any of the staff survived. It is ac
cepted as a fact that Kitchener is '
drowned.
| The Hampshire was 450 feet long
and of 10,850 tons. She carried four;
7 H inch guns, six 6 inch guns, two
torpedo tubes, 650 officers and men.|
No mention has been made of her
having participated In any sea bat- 1
tie.
Horatio Herbert Kitchener, Eng-j
land's foremost soldier, was born in i
County Kerry, Ireland, in 1850. He!
wan a son of the late Lieut.-Col. H.J
Kitchener and was educated In the|
Royal Military Academy at Wool-;
wich. He became distinguished
through service in Egypt. India and
South Africa. He commanded the
Khartoum expedition in 1898 and
was personally thanked by Parlia
ment for his services. He was rais
ed to the peerage and granted thirty
thousand pounds. He has been sue-!
cesaively, chief of staff, and com- 1
mander in chief In Africa and was
promoted to the rank of Lieutenant
General in 1902. He was made Mln
Ister of the War at the beginning of
the present war.
U Is believed that Kitchener and
his staff went to the Orkney Inland*
| to review the battle fleet after las:
week's rtghfijag. _ ^
The Joss of Karl Kitchener ar.d
I his staff Is England's greatest per
sonal loss since the war began. Lon
!don Is completely stunnpd. The fol
lowing bulletin was issued this
morning :
"The Admiralty reports with
dep regret that the ship, Hamp
shire, with Lord Kitchener and
his staff aboard, was sunk last
night at X o'clock off the Ork
ney Islands by either a mine
or a torp?-Jo. Pour boats were
seen from shore to leave the
ve?sc-l. Heavy seas tossed the
boats and although destroyers
proceeded to the scene and the
whole shore has been ^earchod
since. It is greatly feared that
everyone was lost."
A later announcement by the Ad
miralty said that the searching party
found only the empty boats and
drowr.-d bo lies. There Is a faint
hope that scute might have reached
shore alive, but on account of the
high teas, this 1? considered un
likely. The Admiralty discourages
any possible hope.
It Is stated that the Hampshire wa?
on her way to Itus.'fa, where Kitch
ener planned to confer with officials
