The farmers complain of not being able to work their crops on account of so much rain. We were glad to shake the hand of Rev. S. D.

The exercises were very impressive. The missionary address by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Harrell. in which he showed that the "fields are already ripe unto the harvest," and very pathetically ap pealed for greater efforts in this migh ty work in the future, was very elabo- orate and intructive. We are glad to state that Mr. S. T. Fry's health is improving. It was our pleasure to listen to a good sermon by Rev. W. F.

Gallileo was an astronomical crank; yet "the world does move." The Pilgrim Fathers were very, very crankyj but men still desire to wor ship their Creator as they please. "Ful ton, Watt and Stevenson were steam cranks, notwithstrndinff their inven tions have done more to advance civ ilization than all others. Prof. Morse was a telegraphic crank, disregarding the fact that messages are despatched across the ocean with the lightning's flash, and that the vast dominions of the earth are linked together with the voice of thunder. John Bunyan was a crank too; but where is the "Pil grim's Progress ?"

Well, what are cranks ? To whom has tlte term been applied ? Some people say that they are living, walk ing bundles of vanity and supersti tion. Others, ni ore ready to condemn them, hold that they are crazy, delu- rsons filled with a terrible fanaticism; while others still, who enjoy less sense than the cranks, positively affirm that they are men who have no sense, and ought not to be reckoned among intelligent people. Thus many have rashly described the crank. But alas ! these same persons, How It Turns Out.

But when it wants a crank it is very earetul to select the best man the community aSords. Then, in view of this fact, kind dudes, for it is to you that we shall now speak, as well as to those who bave always entertained higher opin ions of themselves than rational mind ed people have of you, or thwn, please before you thank heaven that you are not so unfortunate your inferiors, (as you regard them), and that you have escaped being a crank, examine yourself to the best of your ability. and see if possible, what is the great deficiency in you that debars you from such an election. Perhaps it is a want J ! of intelligence and ability; or it may be the lack of enough moral courage to be a man. We acknowledge that some cranks are crankier than others very rough indeed; but you should not think hard beautiful. By 10 o'clock a large crowd had assembled to hear Rev. C. J. Jones, D. I)., of Norfolk j Va., de liver the Baccalaureate Sermon. The test was : 'Come over into Mncedonia and help us." It was a soul-stirring sermon and eloquently delivered. That eveniug he went down to Gra ham to see friends, and called in to see brother J. D. Kernodle, editor of the Gleaner, returning to Elon in time for the exercises that night which con sisted of music, essays, speeches, etc., of which may be said, well done !
