Few, of Trinity College, dolivered tho rirsl of his baccalatircalc addresses to tl.o senior class. Though almost unbearably hot, tlio weather did not servo to stop tho steady stream of men and women who were led on to hear the first ot the commencement exercises. A beautiful musical -program had been arranged tor the occasion and tl.e preliminary- service was delightful. Hev. Dr. It. C. iieanian lc-d in pnivc.r and President Few --chose his suliu ct. from tiio story ot Judas, Irom wlucli ho derived the subject: "Force and Right In the Government of the World." Dr. Few viewed the matter from the study of a scholar who has seen much of life and the consequent ne cessity, for the use ot toreo to assist the maintenance of right, "force till right is ready," he said by wi.y of quotation. Tho-speaker thought there are to be seen many things that have a dis quieting tendency in present, day iile because of the removal of restrictions from humankind and the too early granting of self-government.- it is an enormous task that is given men to work out. He drew a fine distinc tion between the coercion of conduct and that of opinion. He warned against tho polite and Invincible indifferentism that so of ten follow the exercise of force. The doctrine of personal responsibility he strongly enforced and In conclus ion he asked to be allowed to point tho class to a life of bard work and peaceful conquest, and for such a call, admonished that there we sum moned all one's courage and an aus tere devotion to do the right as God gives one the power to see It. Tomorrow there will be the bacca laureate sermon, the alumni dinner and the senior orations. Wednesday closes It. BUY AN IN PULPIT. Says Home and Iteligion Are Neg lected.
