TO MEMBERS OF GRADUATING

Joined in the fervtce, the Auditor
lum at Central School Building Be
ing Taxed to Axommodate the Au-dienoe.-Jr.
Wliam A. Webb Will
Deliver the Uterary Address This
Evening. .'r '
A union service was held by several
of the congregations of the city yes
terday, the occasion being tbe annual
sermon to the graduating clasa of tht
Concord High School. The service
was attended by a large audience,
the large auditorium being filled an 1
number of seats jn tbe gallery oe-
cupied. .. ; : :
Superintendent Webb presided and
the service wss opened with a song,
The Son of God Goes Forth to
War," which was followed by prayer
by Rev, C. P.- MacLaughlin. The
scripture lesson 2 was read by Rev.
R, Hooten, pastor of Associate
Reformed Presbyterian Church. Fol
lowing the scripture lesson Professor
Webb presented Dr. Howard E. Rond
thaler, ' president of ' balem College,
who delivered the 'annual sermon.'
"And be said unto them. How is
it that ye sought met Wist ye.not
that I must be about my Father 'a
business t" was tbe text of Dr. Rond
thaler 's diseourae. ' All nf us must
be struck by the contradictions sur
rounding Christ's "life,! ' he said. "I
mean the paradoxical things whic i
seem, so different from what we think
they ought to be; mean, for ex
ample, that it seems strange that God
should pick out the land of Palestine,
a little parcel of isolated land, diffi
cult of access, and ' surrounded by
desert and mountains, -when there
were so many noble lands. It seems
a contradiction, does 'it not. that He,
whose work should extend to all the
world. And alL ages. Uwuld leave
so young. And in bis work He seem
ed to Separate himself from influence?
of the rich and the rulers. He would
pend his tune with the children and
the poor and leave a mutlitude tj
labor with tbe cripple and the blind,
This is a strange contradiction.
"But, with all the paradoxical
characteristics, the greatest ; one is
that the greater part of : bis life is
unknown.- He was 12 years of age at
the time the scripture lesson tells of
and from this, time 18 years he is
lost, .appearing again at 30. .j There
is no record concerning his late youth
and early manhood, years of decision
of. new ideas, crucial years in which
we would love so dearly to know
what Christ was doing." - !
Reviewing the early manhood of
Christ and the three years of his
ministry, Doctor Rondthaler; drew a
striking picture' of tbe 18hid years
of hu life, drawing his lessons from
the customs of the time, the life of
the people and the words and works
of Christ that are recorded of his
tnlniBtry.- " ' 'Jj"''1'''
Doctor Rondthaler pictured Christ s
relationship with his mother, Jhow as
a boy he was taught according to the
Jewish custom, the verses , and chap
ters of the old testament. This, said
the. speaker, was evidenced in . his
later years when, tempted by . tho
devil, he replied, "That man should
not ; live by bread alone; but every
word that proceedeth out of ' the
mouth of God." His school days
were also pictured, bow lie attended
the synagogue and there from one
book, the Bible, learned the law, -lit
erature, poetry and science that were
taught tbe youths of tbe age.
His life in the village of Nazareth
waa portrayed, how as a youth He
mingled with the Tvople of the vil
lage, learning of by close asso
ciation. .We should think of Him as
an active, manly, alert, enthusiastic,
progressive young man, living in the
midst of tumult and unrest and hav
ing fixed ideas and opinions. Fre
quently, by reminiscence, he brings
out the hidden years of his youth,
as in hit declaration that "foxes
have holes, the1 birds of the. air have
nests, but tbe Son of God hath not
where to lay his head." - Tfis refer
ence to the lilies "of the fields and the
house built upon the rock are evi
dences of hia long walks in his youth
"In three years of His ministry He
drew from the neb experiences of
youth and gave it to mankind to live
through all ages. 'Here is the every
day life of Christ we have as an ex
ample and Is, I think, Christ's inter
pretation of what it means to he
about my Father's hir '- a."

Greensboro News.
Returns received by tbe Daily News
laat nigni and early tbia morning
from - tbe congressional . districts
where there were contests yesterday,
indicate that Congressman Page de
feated R. F, Beasley for the nomina
tion in the seventh district, and that
Congressman Webb has won hand
somely in the ninth.
Tbe vote is estimated as follows:
Ninth district, Congressman Webb,
10,000; E. R Preston, 2,500. Seventh
district, Congressman Page, 5,000;
Roland F. Beasley, 1,600.
The result in tbe third district
where six candidates entered was in
doubt this morning with ex-Congress
man Thomas elaiming a victory over
Congerssman Faison and other aspi
rants. It is probable; however, that
neither of the 'candidates received
a majority yesterday.
In tbe tenth district the race seems
to be between Congressman' Gudger
and Robert R. Reynolds, both of Bun
combe, with the . managers of tha
two candidates this morning' trying
to figure out a convention majority
on the first ballot but seem unable
to do so.
me following Congressman were
renominated yesterday without oppos-'.
mon: bmall. in tbe first district;
Kitchin, in the second, Pou, in the
fourth; Stedman, in the fifth; God
win, in the sixth and Doughton, in
the eighth. Senator Overman for the
United States senate was also nomi-
ated without opposition in the pri
maries, while Chairman Travis of the
Corporation Commission was renom
inated without opposition. '
