Dr.; Simon Peter Long, of Mansfield, 0 drew a great congregation which taxed the capacity of the auditorium, last Sunday morn ing. and incidentally started off the commencement on its best foot. The subject was "The Philosophy of Providence" but treatment was not abstruse , or metaphysical but simple and ! and therefore powerful. The , text was from Job 23: 8" 10: "Be hold Igo forward but He is not 1 there, and backward but I can-j. ii t behold Kim; He hideth him- , self on the right hand but I can- 1 not fee him; but He knowth the ; way that 1 take; when he trieth 1 me I shall come forth as gold." i ; Life is a great hide and seek , ( game in which while we cann«;t ! see God, He always sees us, and j, tries us and will finally bring us ~ forth after His tests as pure gold, j, He hides Himself from the heath- j; en nations though nature teach-, es Hf. bring and works; He hides : ( Himself from his saints, though j he never forgets them. The , hairs of our heads are not count-1, cd but each one is numbered God never puts dates in His pro missory notes. Good old George Mailer prayed for 66 years for one man. and that man man was; converted at Muller's funeral. God hides Himself from the worid but is overruling all for his glory and purposes.

DR. GRANVILLE'S ADDRESS. In introducing Rev. Dr. Wm. An thony Granville, president of Pennsyl • vania College at Gettysbuag, Pa. Pre&inent Fntz spoke of the exception j ally high grade work by the literary i societies of the college Lenoir won inter collegiate debates all that she ever j had a chance at. J,he speaker who; was to address the literary societies, Mr. Fritz said, was a scholar, a teacher college president and author of mathematical works from trigonometry to calculus. Dr. Granville is a man with a splen didly shaped head, set on massive shoulders, with a face of beaming benevolence aid a brilliant inner light shining from clear, honest eyes, it is a face one would always look at a second time, En i finally turn away from w.th a wish that one might have that man for a friend. One could easily believe that he was the incarnation ot the exquisite message which he de livered on the subject of the Coordi nation of Character Building and In elleotual Training. He said that he had taught in two small colleges and two universities, and nowhere did lit ever find better work than in the smar ler institutions. Yale had suffered by the loss of her old literary societies, for which her students actually used to kidnap freshmen. No football or other athletic feature can repay a college for the loss of its literary societies, It is impossible to give a full report, 1 and condensation mars, for every sen tence was blood kin to its next door neighbor. Two of his epigrams were: "It takes brains as well as piety to make a real saint." '"As every one has | a home, so each individual lives in the ! temple of his soul, his character. It is a pity that it is true that i pleasure seems to be the highest ob- j ject of pursuit, whether it takes the form of money-getting, fame-seekinp or what not. The teachings of Holy j Writ and the experience of man teach that such reasoning is fallacious, and will end in sore disappointment. Hap piness rightly understood is duty and duty faitfully performed is happiness. Toastmaster A. A, Whitener at the annual banquet at Ihe Huffry, where Messrs. Huffman and Fry had spread a splendid layout, played with his victims, the speakers, as a cat does with a mouse. He assigned to Mr. Howard A. Banks the subject ' 'Surcease from Sorrow," to Mr. R. J. Mouser "How ; I escaped matrimony'', to Rev. John ; Hall "How I obtained a Nobel prize" j to Mr. F. G. Morgan k 'How I got a | Rhodes scholarship", to President j Fritz ''The Alumni Association", to 1 r. Kinard "How Salisbury lost the co isge", to Dr. Granville "Why I am giad I am here". ' GRADUATING EXERCISES. The music at ihis commencement was furnisheu by home tallent. Tne or chestra was trained by Prof K. B. Patterson and the chorus by Miss Stech er, both of the faculty, and the work of each was of the very highest order, and constantly won the applause of the au diences. On Tuesday evening the or chestra rendered the Ivan hoe overture by Hazel and Prof. Patterson, (violin) and his gifted cousin, Mr. K. Patter son, of Concord, (flute) rendered ex quisitely the duet for violin and flute from Schubert's serenade. At the graduating exercises Tuesday morning the chorus rendered Gloria in Excel sis, from Fanner's Mass in B flat. Mr. Arthur M. Huffman spoke a thoughtful salutatory—^"Life—the Production of Art. F. J. Shealy spoke on Men of Vision and F. J. Eller on Railroad Reg ulation and Corporation Control. Miss Mary E. Stroup read an essay on Hid den Treasures and Miss Annie Barber randered on the piano Sinding's Marche Grotesque. The Valedictory by Miss Frances S. Glass in which she held that a thorough college course was "The Only Adequate Basis for Speciali sation" was one of unusual force, the thought, the diction and the de livery marking the speaker as a young woman of high talent and striking indi viduality. She closed with a brilliant apostrophe to Lenoir college. Rev. Mr. Stirewalt, one of Lenoir's two missionairies in Japan out of the five which the Lutheran church has there, gave a brief inspirational mes sage to the graduates, who were, he said, responsible for a* physical, mental and spiritual being. There are 1,500,000,000 people in the world. The world is getting narrower but also wider too in its demand for our help and sympathy. The change to a repub lic in China is the greatest event in the last 700 years, greater than the discov ery of America. You have a' duty to those people. How will you perform it?

With an appropriate message as to the three words of God, written, in carnate and in men's lives, President Fritz delivered diplomas to the follow ing A. B. graduates: H. J. Shealy, F. J. Eller and Arthur M. Huffman and Misses Ella Mac Rhodes a«-d Anrtie Reeves Barber as associate in Music; to Misses Glass and Rhodes in expression and certificates to Misses Lillian Har rell and Ethel Plonk for special courses; to Mr. Roy Turbyfill and Misses Edna Huffman, Birdie Younce and Velma Hauss in the business course.
