DEI*A UW r.V/ VhUSITY. Under the above caption the In (lianapolls */ourmil lias the iollowing well-chosen nml well-teni[)eied

wordn:

Not many universities have been favorer! with a larger gratuilious advertising for the last month or so than Itei’auw, and not many could have been more benefited by it. It began in a series of misunderstandings and misapprehensions, ami is likely to end in great benefit to the institution and to all connected with it. There had been, for a year or two, whisperings of bad management

of its funds, with, natuially enough, some ior bishop s larescnce.

surmises that there might be some crookedness somewhere, and such surmises never lose anything by attempting to keep them a secret. T hen, there has been at least two of the thirty members of the joint board who entertained the opinion that notwithstanding Dr. John’s pre-eminent abilities, some Eas.ern man, with more prestige, might do more for the university than he, a native of Indi-

ana, could, and these were not always dis- . . erect in the expression of their opinions. A j IDU81C PcuOOl sang natural result wa-. at least a lukewarmness lleadft b) Ye

even among the university’s best friends. 1 Fortunately, as it now turns out, the rumors of the bail management of the funds of the institution becoming public, a thorough investigation has been made by a competent committee with the result given in Saturday's Journal. Not the least shadow of crookedness has been discovered, and much of what might Ire classed among suspended debts is 111 ely to be realized, so that what was once thought a total loss may prove to be compar-

atively small.

But the investigation has done more than this—it has vindicated Dr. John as a financial manager. The only alleged objection to his system of education was itsexpensiveness. All admitted that it was progressive and advantageous, and, if it could be afforded, desirable, but investigation has shown that while the average increase of students for the

Sunday was an exceedingly profitable and interesting day to the visitors and citizens alike. It might have been a trifle more pleasant tliun it was, but still there have been warmer days this summer. Serv ices began at nine o’clock at the annual class meeting, which was largely attended anil at which hand shakings, experiences anil renewals of faith were indulged in. At 10:Ilf) a magnificent audience assembled in Meharry hall to hear the baccalaureate exercises. The sixty-six seniors, arrayed in mortar board caps and Oxford gowns, vve‘re given seats of honor in the front seats of middle sections. The seating capacity was exhausted shortly after ten o'clock, and by 10:lo the galleries, amen corners, plat form and aisles were Dili. It was a gathering sufficient to warm the heait of any speaker, and it was a great demonstration as to the popularity and esteem in which the president of DePauw is held. The exercises opened with the hymn “He Leadeth Me,” which was followed by one of Bishop man’s characteristic fervent prayers. Commencement wouldn’t be complete without the popular sen-

Miss Ade-

line Rowley sang Mendelssohn’s “The Lord Is Mindiulof His Own.” after which Dean Gobin read the scripture lesson, taking selections from the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. A mixed chorus of the

came the baccalaureate sermon. President John after a few wellchosen words of introduction spoke

as follows:

“Ho endured as seeing Him who Is invisible.”

—Heb. xl-K7.

You can ojien your eyes on a summer evening when the sky is both smiling ami weeping at once and see a rainbow tin the biuck clouds of the east. It is a vision of beauty worth going around the world to see. You can close vour

hist six ye ns has been more than 25 pei ' t eyes by dav or by night and see a" vis-

cent., the average cost of operating the institution has been an advance of only about 20 per cent., or, in other words, about 1*5 or .■$6 per capita less than under the former

management.

But not the least advantage resulting from this gratuilious advertising has been a muchneeded revelation to the Methodists of Indiana. I'he munificent gifts of the Del’auws led Methodists to believe that there would he no further need of lib ral donations to their cherished school. Results hud already derao strated to those who were in position to know that, to meet even pr sent wants, and, much worse, to keep pace with demands of the age, all this was only a foundation, not the complete equipm nt, and they are now thinking of th ■ D. l’aiiw university as their own chilli and as having a claim upon their mnn ys as they had not thought lor years until the revelations of the past two months, ['hey will now see to it that it does not want

for means.

Another and a great incidental advantage has been ihe awakening of the alumni of the institution to their relation to it. Of

ion more beautiful than the rainbow in the eastern sky. It is the truth on which the rainbow hangs, eternal as the very Artist who passed bis brush across the elotuls. A rain-drop -tarts from the heights toward the earth. It begins on a path of truth,—Ood's truth, vali.l before the world wa-and valid lifter the world shall have ceased to he. It continue- through its (all with God’s thought in it. A ray of light, another thought of God, strikes athwart the drop in mid-air: it enters invisible; it is torn into a million of threads of

matchless lines, and before has reached the earth, it Ini

mirror the eternal truth of God upon the angry sky. It is more beautiful to the soul that a rainbow ean be, than to

the eye that it actually is.

will meet tomorrow in annual reunion than has ever met before; not to bring pressure to bear on the trustees to induce them to reelect Dr. John, hut to assure him of their continued fidelity wherever his lot might be cast in the future. They easily comprehend that his usefulness there to at an end unless he can have practically the unanimous and the enthusiastic indorsement of the board of regents as he has of the alumni. The Jour-

ceive that Dr. John’s standing as an educator in the very front rank among his fellow- | educators in Indiana, and that in their opinion the fraternity will lo.-e one of its most j honored and useful members if he shall cease to meet with them. In a large sense the internal management of such a school i> strictly a private matter with which outsi lers may not meddle, yet there are public interests involved in the withdrawal of such a | man from the educational force of the state | that make it not impertinent to express a | hope that the misunderstanding and misap- j prehensions which led to his resignation may 1 be so adjusted that this public loss may be averted. The findings of the committee seem to foreshadow this. They express satisfaction with the methods he champions, and the discovery that they are even less ex- | pensive than the former method and that the school may lie sustained respectably even on its present income all indicate that the board j may re-elect him with such assurance of | their confidence and co-operation as will induce him to accept. Dr. John is too young ! and too vigorous a man to be lost to Indiana ' educational interests. His baccalaureate, delivered yesterday, will commend itself to j all who read it as the production of a master j

mind.

Nearly every one needs a good tome at this sea-on. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the oi.e true tonic and blood purifier. i

More beautiful than the rose is the truth that makes roses possible. More beautiful titan the song is the truth whii-li mounts the crest and descends the sinus of every wave as it bears the

song to your delighted ears.

Open your eyes, unstop your ears, put forth your hands, and In, a world of sense, full of charms and freighted tvitli delights! Close your eyes, seal

withdraw your touch, and ►f truth, invisible to sense,

but full of lovelier charms and freighted with richer delights! The sight of truth with the eye of reason is more beautiful than the rainbow. The sight of truth with the eye of imagination is more beautiful than the lily. The sight of truth with tile eye of memory is

more beautiful than song.

But there are visions yet more beautiful. You can open the eyes of your intellect and see the truth of God, a sight iinmatehed by springs of water or hillsides of green or flowers or trees or mountain peaks or sea or sky: a vision worth all the cost of human life to see, with its pains, its toils, its tears, its sacrifices. its deaths; for the sight of truth Is s glimpse of destiny. But yon can close the eyes of vour intellect and see a vision (shall I say it?) more beautiful than truth itself; a picture more beautiful than memory ever painted, or reason ever gazed upon, or imagination ever glimpsed. It is a vision of the Invisible. It is a sight of the Thinker.

It is a glimpse of God.

More beautiful than the picture is the thought of tiie artist; more beautiful than bis thought is the invisible essence

itself which think-*

How do we see the picture, or the lily or the rainbow? With the eye of sense. How do we see the truth of which

lie r in’iow, tic- lily and the pii tur<- are the mirror? With the eye of reason. How do we see tiie invisible essence which is behind all rainbows and lilies and pictures, and still behind the truth -n which they all rest? That is a vi-ion -een without eyes by the direct, ami im-

mediate gaze of faith.

Rea-on -ees beyond -ense. Faith -ees

beyond both sense and reason. Lf the sight of reason is real as that of sense, so is the vision of faith a- real a-that | hreatln

of ivfisori, mid the invisible it-e

as th • visib'e. The vision of sense is mediate, through a physical orga;i and by a process of steps. The vision of reason i- also mediate, through a process of s'eps but without; the organ of sense. The vision of faith i- direct, immediate. It needs no organ of sense, no process of steps. It sweeps down upon the truth from above; it does not need, like reason, to climb to it from below. It readies its destination by a straight line: it does not need, like reason, to tack right and left to 'catch the favoring gale. There is no veil between faith and the face of God. The eagle looks undaunted at the sun; reason looks undaunted at the uncreated splendors of truth; faith looks undaunted at the source of truth.—Hie truth behind the truth, it touches its face against the essences that think and gazes unhurt into the very face of God. Sense grasps the truth of sense. Reason does the same, hut stops not there : it grasps the invisible truth of reason. Faith does all this, and more: it grasps the truth of truth. Sense is limited to the world of matter; reison is limited to tin- world of thought: faith is universal and uiilimite.l in its scope. Like reason, it begins with sense, tint it does not end there. It continues through reason.but it stops not with its boundaries. For ln:;g after the eye of sense closes at the coming of truth, and long after the eye of reason close- to the oncoming glory of the invisible, faith is gazing without eyes upon the matchless

it sees without eyes, seeing without eyes, ears, and touching It is the direct ami tiie soul on truth and

] on the essence behind tiie truth. Faith j is seeing the invisible, hearing the inBow- ! &, iJil*le, and touching the intangible. It is the immediate contact of tiie soul with God, with till essences, and with all truth. Faith is divine sight and divine insight. It is an instinct of the soul moved and moving by tiie imoulse of God. It is preeminently that function in men that makes thcni partakers

of the divine nature.

Young ladies and gentlemen your

career in college has been such as to give a -evere test to your confidence in the validity of faith. You have learned that in the great departments of human thought nothing must be taken for granted. Everything must he reasonable; everything must have a reason

Lift uj) ^ our and a sutfleient reason. It was not ’ after which ! Pnou Kh Ihut the text hook asseiteda

fact; you must see it for yourself. It was not enough that your professors claimed to know, and authoratively declared what they believed to tie truth; you must know for yourself. You went into the laboratory and looked with your own eyes. You went into the library and made your own investigation. Whatever may have been the opinions of others, you were not satisfied to take them on mere faith, but you must see. When you could not see. you either denied, doubted, or despaired. Yon have challenged every fact within the range of your observation to give a reason for its being. In the midst of these trying processes some of you may have staggered at the demands of faith; some may have doubted the validity of faith; yea. some may even have had dimmed the brightness of your faith in faith. Having seen with eyes, heard with ears and touched with fingers, you may wonder if. after all. there is any essence that can tie touched without fingers, or any truth

that can he seen without eyes. My last message to you. therefore, as

you go for h, shall aim to show you Hie validity and authority of faith, with the hope that you may all lovingly accept that religion of which it is the foundation. If faith is superstition, [the Christian religion is a fetish. If I faith is childish, the Christian religion

the drop is not adapted to men. if faith is tinserved to | reasonable the Christian religion can-

not claim the respect of thinking persons. If faith is a reiiiiiii-ivnee, the religion of Jesus Christ is doomed. If the world shall ever outgrow faith, the religion of the Gospel is too narrow for the coming centuries. When faith goes, Christianity will disappear, and its Author will lie forgotten among men. For whatever the religion of Jesus Christ may be, its foundation

stone is faith.

But is it a valid foundation? Would it have been better if Christ bad built ids system on sense or reason rather than on faith? Would it, thus founded, he better adapted to the intelligence of the twentieth century? Have the methods of modern science so unbolted every door and penetrated everv hiding place, that men cannot now be intelligent and follow a religion that is built on faith? The twentieth century will have little reverence for the unknown or the mysterious in the realm of matter. It will have great reverence for tangible facts. Is there any reason why the twentieth century shall have equally little reverence for the unseen in the world of spirit? Are there no facts which are invisible? Will the religion of Christ which lias the unseen for its foundation. become unworthy in the thought of the twentieth century man? I have one far-reaching proposition. It is this: all the activities of human life, physical and intellectual, proceed on faith. It has always been so. It will always remain so. Life itself is a continuous act of faith.

1.

The processes of life are illustrations of the validity, authority and universality of faith. The fires of plivsical life are kept aglow by eating, drinking, breathing, sleeping, exercising and the like, every act of which rests on faith. A- I speak to you tiie air of this room is pouring into your lungs. Whence came it? From everywhere; from other lungs, both human and animal; from hospital and dungeon; from the upper rim of the atmosphere and from the dank caverns of the earth; from kissing the dew-drop and from fanning the fevered brow; through the spray of the waterfall and through the poisonous breath of the pestilence. It has come from where death is, and it may bear death on its wings. But you open wide your lungs to receive it and to hid it welcome. Do you know what it con-

j tains? Have you analyzed it to discover it any po-sonous germ lurks within? Do you stop to scrutinize | everv on,- of the innumerable molei-iiles, a- 11 enters \our lung-, to determin* w lie 1 he: it i- oxygen to burn up the accumulating pni-011 in your hoilies or a microbe bringing in new death? Just ; how long Would you live if you stopped ; to ipie-t ion every atom of every current I that Hows into your lungs? You by tiiuh. You trust the unseen

rent a- it rushes into vour tracheal pa — sages, you might be tempted to -‘hold your breath”; Imt you banish microscope and spectroscope and bid the air welcome, though it may hear disease

and death in its wake

Aud consider the bread you ate at your morning meal. It grew in the fields w here the air of heaven blew over it, and tiie rain and sunshine fell upon it. That was God’s work, and you could well allord to trust it. But men gathered it in sheaves. Was there no room for treachery there? Men whisked it through the threshing machines; might nought but tin- dust of the thresher have settled among the shining grains? Men poured it into the garners; did no fiend in human form lurk near? Men transported it to the e'evalor: what chance for diabolism ! Men took it to the mills; who watched the teamsters that they did not betray their trust? Men ground it between great stones; can the untutored eye distinguish flour from strychnia? Men bartered it for the baker’s gold; hut gold will buy poison as well as flour. Men mixed u in theirkneading trough-, baked it in their ovens, and delivered it at your doors; ilo you know that there was no "death in the pot?” Are you sure that there was no treason against human trust in the long train ot men between the farmer who sowed Ids grain and the cook who placed tiie tempting loaf on your breakfast table? You eat by faith in a thousand men whom you never saw and will never see. Do you remember that summer afternoon when you wandered in ihe woods? How your limbs began to tremble with faintness and your nerves became unstrung as your thirst came on apace, and every atom in your hotly at last cried out for water! Do you remember the gushing spring on the hillside; how you hastened thither; how the white pebbles braced tiieir tiny shoulders against thecurreiit, breaking the glassy surface into dimples of marvelous beauty? Do you remember how 011 hands and knees you bent forward to slake your burning thirst? Whence came that water issuing from the earth? From the clouds, through air tainted with poison ; over rocks on which the venomous reptile had sunned himself; through poisonous germs and fetid remains in the soil; through vaults and caverns where disease breeds and death reigns; through fields of verdure and fissures in the rock; at last, leaping with joy, through Die crust of earth into the sunshine and air. Did you have your microscope with you? Did yon stop long enough to see the telltale lines of death m the spectroscope ? You slaked your thirst by faith in God and the uniformity of his law. You stopped not to look; you trusted. You waited not for the voice of reason; you had heard the voice of faith. With eyes some things are invisible. Without eyes some tilings can be seen. And when you lie down to sleen. whether or not you think to otter up to the good Father a prayer of thanksgiving for the mercies of the day and a petition for protection through the shadows of tiie night, you close you eyes in faith that you will open them again with the morrow’s sun. Who will stand by your bedside with bellows to force the air into your sleepless lungs,— or, indeed, may they not fall asleep and fail you when you have forgotten them in your slumber? Who will keep his hand on your heart and see that it pumps on when you are unconscious? Who will build the tires iu your dead cells to consume them and to make way for new ones? Who will marshal the living cells and keep them at work through the long hours of the night

building up what yon tore down by 'he activities of the day? When you fall asleep, you go out of consciousness with an abiding faitli in something or Somewhat that you will return to consciousness with the new day. You would not dare to close your eyes in slumber this night, if >011 mistrusted that the machinery of ■ our bodies would stop before the morning light. You would force yourselves into wakefulness by torture and by terror, day after dav and night after night, until your willsnt last succumbed'to nature. Take out tuith in the safety <-*f helpless sleep, and the human race will become a panleinonium of mad men. When a ray of light enters your eye, the atoms of the invisible ether strike your retina with almost infinite velocity as they vibrate back and forth in tiieir infinitesimal paths. The red wave makes 4r>0.000.000,000.0'i0 vibrations a second between the molecules of your retina, retting them going at the same inconceivabSe speed; while tiie violet wave makes double that almost infinite number every second. And yet you do not hesitate to look at the rose or the violet, lest your eye be shattered by this unparalleled bombard-

ment.

So I might go throngh all the processes of living and tirxl faitli at every step. If you must reason before yon trust, you will die lief ore you reas-h your conclusion. You live by faith. Your physical life is a continuous act of faith. Even when you think you stand on n-a-on or sense in the process of living, you will find the sub-founda-tion to be faith. The stars are still shining when the sun is on the meridian, and faith is still in the tirmaiHent when the blazing light of reason seems to overpower it. The processes of living are manly faith in the divine Preserver and in the uniformity of his law

11.

The relations of life, are equally, illustrations of the validity, authority and universality of faith. The act of living is faith in the superhuman; the relations of life show faith in the tinmen. A few years ago you started to college. You trusted the future. What assurance was there that you would live to smp your graduation day? You bought your railroad ticket not knowing whethei the tram would deliver you at your destination. You paid your college fees, not knowing whether you would reach the end of the semester. You entered upon new paths of study, not knowing whether you could find your way. You made new acquaintances whom you at once trusted as

old friends. You looked forward to thii- commencement week, hoping and believing that it would come; and you now look forward with confidence to other summits of achievement in the future, lielieving that you will -nccesafidl reach them. If you hud put no trust in the future, in un-een and unknown persons, in untro den paths, in imttied experiences, hut had demanded thal vour eyes 11111-t see in advance, your ears hear and your fingers feel, would you lie here today in sight of Ihe goal of vour ambition ? If you had dethroned faith throughout your college life and had enthroned sight, do you really think that yon would have seen as much during these happy years with eye-as withniit them? O, what vi-mns vi 111 would have missed, il you iiad kept your eves wide open and demanded to see ;and w hat sights you have seen when with covered eyes you have confidently touched your faces against the face ot truth ! What yon have done in college through these years w ith shuttered eye anil ear and sense, men have been doing every where on land and s,.a; and what men in this age of history do by faith in their fell >ws and in God, they have been doing since the world begun and will continue to do until the hiiinaii raee is no more. In your relation as students you have proceeded on faith. Is it not equally true in vour relation as sons and daughters in the family? Suppose you should lose your faith in your mother, whether she be on earth or in heaven, what further ambition could you have in life ? What would become of tile castles you built in air but w hich you expected to bringdown to solid earth? When faith iu your mother goes, with it goes faith in immunity. If her love was not mi selfish, then all love is selfish. If her thought for you was also a thought for her-elf, then there 1- no such thing as patriotism, philanthropy, or charity among men. If she does not reign on the throne of your faith, then there are no throm-g 111 the world worth striving for. Or. suppose sin-, in turn, has lo-t her faith in you. Triir. that will he long after everyone else has ces-ed to believe iu you; but if that time should ever come, what a dreary desert life would be to her! Even then she would find many an oasis where faith in you would spring again to life; h it what sight under the stars sadder than sons and daughters lookiutr into their mother’s eyes and finding no response of faith ! Let the husband lose faith iu the wife; the wife in the husband; the brother and the sister in each other; let suspicien and fear of infidelity creep Into the inner circle of the home, and the family will disappear as an institution among men. <>, pure and holv w as the faith that was born with your birth, that was developed in the nursery, that grew brighter around the fireside and the evening lamp, that kindled into ho|>e and love and that you would not extinguish or slitter to tie extinguished for a crown and a throne ! Or, go into society. What is the bond that holds the community together? It is faitli of man in man True, we lock our doors and bar our windows at night. And why? Because some men are unworthy to he trusted. But these are the exception, not the rule, Where there is one thief, there are a thousand honest men. Suppose all were thieves and cut throats? Then must society disintegrate, and every indivbbial stand alone for himself. But the majority of men have faiiliin the majority of their fellows. That is wiiy men do not go armed night and day to defend themselves from deadly assault. And if more men had more confidence in more of their fellows, the bolts in our doors and the bars to our windows would become needless devices. Men may, wrth impunity, open the doors and windowof their houses as wi ely as they open tiieir hearts to their fellows. They may. with safety, expose their treasure as publicly as they show their faith in men. Thev may. and will iu the civilization t" come, throov Jaway tin- key to their unlocked safety vaults when they throw away the key to their wide-npeii hearts. Strikes wilt disappear as faith appears. Strikes wit) cease when xniversal faith of man in man begins. The restlessness of the unemployed will vanish when Die emphm-d show their faith in them. The anarchy of the hungry will disappear before the oncoming faith Ot the fed in the unfed. Society will become strong as faith appears. Soctetv will become indissoluble when the faith of man i 11 the manhood of men becomes universal and permanent. L>r, look out upon the world of commerce. How long would the w heels of business revolve if failili were dead ? If faith of men in men, whether acquaintances or strangers, friends or foes, should disappear today, tomorrow your bonks would not open; your stores would remain locked :your shops would b<* silent; your niaim.faetories would he still; your rail road cars would lie on the side track or stop midway between cities on the open kine; vour schools would dose, not, as they have d ne, to open again the cotniag fall, but to open no more forever; your church bells would in- dumb and your pulpits deserted ; your wheat fields would go unharvested and yoiw corn fields would he left to the weeds; your steamers would line the river hanks and your Steam ships wouinJ stop in miiUn-can; your telegraph sounders womld cease clicking and yiwr printing presses cease rumbling; all the avenuesof commerce would tie deserted, ami all tinhum and hurry of business would be turned into th*- silence of the grave. The life, the very possibility, of commerce is faitli, not only of man in man, but of men in men. Or, look at human government. There is the mutual trust between ruler and subject. Happy is the nation in which that mutual trust is perfect; the people securely resting in theii cimfidence towards their public servants and towards each other; and the officers of government confidently relying upon the incorruptible integrity of the people. Law is for the exceptional criminal, not for the musses of the upright. The people trust each other, and thev hate faith in the majesty of the law'. But when this trust becomes weakened witli suspicion and fear, through the corruption or imbecility of the courts and through the niuiidliii sentiment or demagogical devices of gubernatorial authority, then the terror of the people rises above the supremacy of law; and moh. riot and anarchism take the p) ce of courts of injustice and executive inclemency.
