JAMES PASTOR PREACHES TO HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES Commencement Sermon to Local High School Grad uates Delivered Yesterday by Rev. L. A. Thomas. SPECIAL MUSIC l . AT THE SERVICE St. James Choir Assisted by Mrs. Roy Kimball.—Stu dents Advised as to Choos ing Paths to Be Followed. Directing liis hearers to watch care fully before choosing the pathway of life they are to follow from the present. Rev. 1.. A. Thomas in liis baccalaureate sermon to the seniors of the Concord High School yesterday delivered an elo quent plea for a, life* that is worth while and helpful. Mr. Thomas selected his text from the 30th verse of the 10th chapter of Matthew: “He that findeth liis life shall lose it: he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.” i, The sermon was delivered before a congregation that overtaxed the seating capacity of the new high school audi torium. So large was the gathering that chairs had to be placed in the aisles to care for those who could find no seats. Long before the hour of service the large auditorium began to fill and at 11 o’clock there were no emp ty seats. Mr. Thomas, who is pastor of St. James Lutheran Church, was assisted in the service by several other minis ters of the city and by the St. James choir. The music, led by the choir, was one of the most interesting features of the very impressive service. ■ The service was opened with the sing ing of “Come Tho Almighty God,” and the song was followed by the invocation, offered by Dr. G. A. Martin, pastor of the First Baptist Church. The scrip ture lesson was next read by Rev. M. R. Gibson, pastor of the Associate Re formed Presbyterian Church., Just be fore the sermon the congregation sang, "All Hail the Power of Jesus Name." 1» his sermon to the high school graffitotes Mr. Thomas advised them pot to ifcA out the pleasant things ha in Directing their steps in, the fulnre- TTjT to VMxpoint, he explained?■■ the young people have had their parents, teachers and other friends and,relatives to advise them, but from this point on they will have to do their own choosing. It is pleasant, he said, to think of life being one sweet experience after another, but such lives in most cases lead to emptiness and worthless ness. Two roads enn be chosen, the speak er continued, one being easy and broad, the other steep and rugged. It is not always best to choose the former, but the end is not as pleasant as the be ginning. Mr. Thomas said in part: I count this the mountain top of priv ilege to speak to you, my young people, this morning. There is nothing more sacred than life: there is no responsi bility comparable to that of directing the issue of that life. For years you have had your thoughts on this occa sion. this occasion when you could say I have finished the course up to this point. But as you stand on this high pinnacle today there comes a swifter current of life than had you remained on the lower level. But this current causes you to cling closer to that great eternal anchor which is able to keep you. We ore trustful that this text which speaks of the loss of life will not cause one inkling of sorrow to come into your happiness at this time. For your whole mind is set on joy and your gaxe is upon a clear sky. Even the rays of the snn are mellowed by the moisture of a kindly feeling towards the whole of the human race. Let it not be supposed that those who are older are at all critical because perchance they offer spme suggestions, or that they are out of sympathy with you, or that they have lost interest in you. But rather the reverse is true. They have sympathy for you and are interested in youth because they venture upon this hazardous ground. It iH because there is joy and hope, and a truer life through the maintenance of the mindfulness of life than through the loss of it that its mighty importance is stressed. In the interest of a better world we proclaim, not in the interest of the world as it is with its mere pleasures, wealth and ambition and work,' this is the least to be desired. It is not the world br it is that makes the rich and the full, the truly joyous and deeply happy life, but the world ns it may become, when it is ensouled by men whose souls are God’s and their own. There will be probably registered a protest and I shall not be offended should I Ree a frown furrow your brow as you Itear the words “his life.” Too long will you say have men been trying to protect and care for their own lives. A narrow and self-centered religion, so men charge, has grown out of this ef for to save one’s own life. You say with others that. this' is the cause di rectly or indirectly of the misery and one-sided life which we are compelled to associated with. The age cries, what we need is the-salvation of society. Let us sacrifice ourselves to make men’s lives more livable hare, and let us work and pass laws to give them more for fheir bodily pleasure, instead of dwelling on this mysterious and unreal realm on the broader and inner life.

LAWYERS ENGAGED TO HELP SLAYERS Leopold and Loeb Will M ake Determined Fight and At torneys Hold First Con ference With Them. Chicago, June 2 (By the Associated Press). —State’s Attorney Crc.we an nounced today as attorneys began their battle on bphalf of Nathan I.eopold and Richard I.oeb, confessed kidnappers and slayers of Robert Franks, that he would seek two grand jury indictments against them tomorrow. The indictments would eharge kidnapping for ransom, and for murder, both punishable 'by death. The State's attorney's announcement came when- petitions for writs of habeas corpus were presented in criminal court by counsel employed by the millionaire fathers of the two prisoners. The court made the-writs returnable forthwith, and the prisoners were immediately taken into court. Justice Caverly (ordered the sheriff to take eharge of the prisoners and continued the hearing until June 6th. Attorneys for the defense said the writ was aimed at forcing the State to permit counsel to confer with the youths, and that they did not hope to secure their release. Having won their first legal skirmish, counsel immediately went into conference with the prisoners. They intimated that the two would not be allowed to testify at the inquest this afternoon. The prisoners were permitted to tele phone to their parents last night. Loeb talked with his mother, assuring her repeatedly that he had committed the murder. Young Leopold assumed a business like conversation. His father is ill. His mother is dead. "Send me a change of clothes and isn't it about time you employed an at torney for me?” he was reported as say ing. . “Yes. I did it. We have got to face it and make the’best of it.” Mr. Crowe* yesterday tuck -vhe bojp st over the route they had traversed with' the body of young Franks in their rent ed automobile. Young Leopold whose father la a man ufacturer and Lake shipping magnate is sure, according to Mr. Crowe and news paper men who heard the conversation that money can do anything, and through tlie use of it he hopes to avoid the gellows. "You know, we have got a lot of dough,” he said. “I don't know how many millions. How about ■ fixing this thing up by getting a few jurors?” Mr. Crowe merely smiled in reply. Loeb. sou of the viee president of Sears- Roebusk & Company, is Alternately hope ful and in despair. •‘This will be the making of me,” he asserted once during a ride with detectives and reporters. "I'll spend a few years in jail and I’ll be re leased. I'll come out a new life. I’ll go to work and I'll work hard, apd I'll amount to something.” Leopold only laughs cynically. “We are equally guilty,” he said, and then in reference to Loeb “that weakling." Young Loeb suffers apparently that his mother would not believe him when he told her over the telephone that he w r as guilty. But at talk of punishment Loeb cringes. “The best you can expect is life In an insane asylum," said a police man. Itoeb's hands fluttered. His hope fled for the moment.
