The Oommenoement Exercises of
the Asheboro Graded School opened
Sunday morning, May 1st, when a
large audience assembled in the au

by Rev. W. A. Lambeth, of Winston-Salem.
After a few words of
introduction by Supt. 0. V. Woos
ley, Scripture reading by Rev. T. M.
Johnson, prayer by Rev. W. E.
Swain and singing by the choir of
the higher grades of the school, Mr.
Lambeth preached from St. Matthew
22:42 What think you of Christ?
He addressed his remarks especially
to the graduating class, and asked
that they keep in mind."
1st. That whatever Christ's pow
ers were, he used them all in service
to humanity.
2nd. That His way of salvation
consists in our believing the things
He believed.
3d. That He is so kelpf ul to hu
manity that He whs called divine.
The minister tried to impress upon
the minds of the graduates the fact
that their happiness in life would
depend upon their efforts fa make
ot.hf.ra haDDv. aud their service to
humanity in general.
Rev. Mr. Lambeth is an impres
sive speaker and gifted man. When
he graduated from Harvard Univer
sity in 1905, President Roosevelt
congratulated him personally on his
oration and was anxious to have his
company on a tour of Europe.
