tho knowable secrets of God secrets which lie designed we coald Bolve. ' Copernicns was "the lamp of the Lord" in one department of krowledge. 80, also, "was Newton. Faraday. Columbus, Hugh Miller, Kaphael. Franklin and Morse. So, also, was Moses, Bacon, David, Homer and Burns. When God has a secret thing which he desires to reveal unto mankind lie lights with genius a human spirit, tilling it with the precious oil of super-excellent wisdom, and then He, himself, holds the lamp so as to reveal the things of God. Wonderful thought the spirit of man. the lamp of the Lord. There are still vast fields of hidden but discoverable knowledge. God holds in His hand the lamp of man's spirit Equally gTeat strides nave also been made in the spiritual development. Whether man, however educated, or endowed, or placed, shall prove in his spirit and life to be "the lamp of the wicked" or the "lamp of the Lord," will depend on whether sin tires and rules him. or whether the love of God tires and rules him. To the one the Lord Jesus says: "Depart, thou cursed one!" to the other, "Come, thou blessed one, inherit the kingdom prepared for thee." At the conclusion of the main part of tho address the senior class presented themselves around the pulpit, and the venerable president addressed them in the following

words: "Gentlemen of the class of 'CO It is not needful 1 should add much to what I have already said. Nor yet that I attempt to touch your feelings by referring to the approach of a crisis in your lives which most involve great changes. When you leave these familiar places it will be to find other places in which to secure professional training for the practical work of life. Hitherto all you have done has been preparatory. I will venture the hope that this preparation has included the discipline and enrichment of the higher nature. In vain it shall seem to us who have led you if, in the years of training, you have only been taught to strike an attitude, or use the muck-rake of avarice. "I have known a man who went from college to the pulpit, which, with rare eloquence, he occupied until even bis ambition was sated. And from that throne he went step by step down to the deep darkness of a drunk ard's doom. "I have known a man to go from such a platform as you stand on to the places where money is acquired. But so seriously had he undermined his moral nature so badly had he 'seared hip conscience' that it mattered not how he acquired money. His soul craved money, and money he would have at any cost or risk, and I have seen such a one. having finished the acquisition, suddenly stripped of it by misfortune or by death. "I have seen a man who left college, his soul on tire with the ambition of professional and political eminence. With in Unite toil he succeeded, as he thought, and heard his fame spoken of by thousands. I saw him one day, when he was an old man, in a procession in New York, lea by an inferior man who had won the prize to the winning of which he himself had devoted his life. He was so people said a heartbroken man. It was not a pleasant sight hot one to encourage a young man standing, where you are and looking out on the great world with eyes lighted npwith an unholy ambition. "1 do not crave for you Buch ama3ter fassion, nor either its success or its defeat, t may not be wicked. I will say more, it may be your duty if you have great natural gifts to exercise them in high places of power. If so, go and doyour great work with your might, and God be with yon. Light is the (Treat thing light to make the world of mankind raoro cheerful. Suns differ in grandeur and glory. There are greater suns than ours. One star dinars from another star in glory. The snn si ining in the fullness of his power not merely outshines but apparently extinguishes the taper, the candle, the lamp of our dwelling. Even the electric light seems scarcely to shine when the snn is blazing out. "The men of genius are like the sun when compared with a lamp when we mention ordinary men. Name the humble plowman, or mechanic, or merchant, or professional man in common life. Each one may be noble, in his own sphere or home. IIo may be dear and essential to those around him. But place him in such a parliament of great men spoken of by a distinguished artist, of which the greatest of them all, Sir Isaac Newton, was to be the presiding oflicer. What can he do this ordinary man in the midst of such men of genius as blaze about him? Were we to exhort him to shine as Newton, or Morse, or Cromwell, or Lincoln, he would commit an unpardonable folly should ho attempt compliance. But should we tell the humble man in his humble sphere to let his lamp shine a little one it is true, but the best he has we stimulate him to a duty that is valuale and important as the srreat lamn which Newton held aloft in the world. The plowman's lamp, or the schoolmasters, or the clerk's, or tne country doctor's, or the village pas tor's, or the plain man's-who only knows now, by common sense, goodness and kindness, and homely virtue, to make tho humblest cottage bright with the light of love and happiness I say such a plain man's lamp is as truly a lamp of God as that which Moses, or Socrates, or John Howard was in the hand of the Lord. "When a college president addresses a discourse to the young bachelors about to receive their degrees, how little does he know of them as related to the future. How little could President Applcton fcove dreamed of the coming fame of Longfellow and Hawthorne! How little could have President D wight have guessed the power of John C. Calhoun, or President Wheelock. the career of Daniel ebsterf And how little do I the humblest of tho great brotherhood of college pres idents know of your future! Perhaps if I could throw such a knowledgo in form of pictures on a screen for von to look at, it might appall you; it might inspire you with hope; an impenetrable vail as yet hides it. Bntone thing is open. If we to-day do our duty there will be hope lor to-morrow. If to-day each of us feed his lamp with the pure oil of truth and love, as found in the Bible, and trim it with fidelity, so that each one shall be to day as a 'lamp of the Lord.' we may hopo that to-morrow we shall find ourselves pur suing the same way. "My soul is hungry in yonr behalf. I want each of you in a world full of dark ness and of people sitting in dark ness, to bo a lamp of the Lord' to helu Him in lighting up the world with truth and goodness. If you choose you can. by an evil and selfish heart, fulfill the other proverb, 'sin is tholamp of the wicked.' You can do it if you choose. The light in you may be darkness. You may teach others to sin. You may lead others to cast away truth and the fear of God. You may shed the delusive light of error in the blinding light of passion, on tho eyes of men. gmding them to ruin. Such a lamp can be had on easy terras. I pray you do not buy it, or receive it. There is a world of sorrow in it for you. and all vou lead bv it into outer darkness. The proverb itself ought to carry its own warning. 'Sin is the lamp of the wicked.' "Contrariwise in the culture of your minds, and social affections, and your moral nature, fit yourself to bo what the wise man describes in the proverb, 'the spirit of man is the lamp of the .Lord In some sphere humble or high be worthy of being used as a 'lamp of the Lord making all about you brighter and all under your influence happier. Doing this you shall impart to the graduation you attain after so many years its true significance and value. Be not as Shakspeare says, Mike lamps burnt out out rather as Milton says: "Lamps filled with everlasting oil. To give due light to the misled and lonely trav eler." PR. JOHNSON'S ADDRESS. In the evening the annual address before the college branch of the Y. M. C. A. was delivered by the eloquent Rev. Herrick Johnson, D. D. LL. D of tho McCormick Theological Seminary, at Chicago. The subject of Dr. Johnsoufs address was "Self heed," taken from the text. "Take heed to thyself." I Timothy, iv, 16. These words are a part of Paul's charge to Timothy,' and were doubtless intended to cover everything of a personal nature. Paul's words are: "'lake heed to thyself and to the teaching." Teaching is very important, but the teacher is more important. Thoughts are vital to growth and power, and the deep joy of life; but the thinker, getting to thinking these thoughts we must look out for him take heed to thyself. This is very timely in reference to tne life of the student and his mental development. The department of human nature with which the college has chieliy to do is the thinking department. A daily newspaper recently contained this item: "A large majority of the congressional candidates in this State are college graduates." This is not a bad thing for the State and lor Congress, whatever it might be for colleges. "For ways that are dark" some Con

gressmen surpass even "the heathen Chinee;" and it is not, thorefore, necessarily creditable to a college to be the mother of congressional candidates. But the item was a good pointer, as there are constantly coming before Congress problems of government, law, finance, trade and social

science, mese require mincers xor iucir solution. It is one business of American colleges to make thinkers. But all grad uates aro not so made, either because of a defective process or a defective subject. "Heaven, and earth," and the college "fight in vain against a dunce." In a bat-, tie of ideas, error is to be preferred for an antagonist before stupidity. If one must cross controversial weapons, and is wise. he will choose the skillful enemy rather than the brainless one, since the force and bearing of an argument are lost upon a fool. But dunces, by an in scrutable Providence, are sometimes born; and sometimes get into colleges, and the collego must bear the reproach of bearing such children. Dr. Leguin. a noted French man, says that over 40 per cent, of idiots can be made capable of understanding moral and social abstraction; and from 23 to SO per cent, may be brought so near the standard of manhood that some of them will defy the scrutiny of good judges when compared with ordinary men and women. This is not very flattering to the averago man to think how narrowly so many of ns have escaped idiocy! Some deem the mind as a thing to be educated like Chinese Jadies' feet, forced to a certain proportion by mental thumb-screws; and thus is cramped both thinker and thought. It Is utterly vain to veto thought, and it is argument that tells, not anathema. lo theorize is the highest function of genius, and the greatest thinkers must always be the greatest theorists. The thinker runs some risks. L,merson says: 'To beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet " and a (renins is "a man whom God has sent into this world marked 'not transferable, and good for this trip only.'" The risks the Boston sage had in mind were to the outsider, but there is also another risk, to the insider, i. e., the thinker himself. The chief external risk is that of persecution, because of the necessity of the destruction of the old in order to have the acceptance of the new. Progress is the history of thought, and were men machines there would be no progress. Thinkers think new things, discover, combine, invent, create. In the path of all progress stands monopoly, tyranny of customs, sectional prejudice, love of the old paths, lust of power, with religious or political bigotry. Lvery.new truth which blesses humanity is likely to antagonize old notions and compel a contact with them. Lven in this late day. the progressive thinker must expect the buffeting, and ridicule, and persecution of perverse and blinded selhsbuess, and to be denounced as dreamers and idle visionaries, if not worse. Tho first saw-mill was built in England in 1G63, but was soon abandoned on account of the hostility of the hand-sawyers. Now we wonder that Alex. Hamilton could over have been burned in ciligy on account of his views of government and finance; and that Garrison should have sutlered some distinction for his views of slavery. Yet, only yesterday a man was sought to be daubed with similar disgrace and contempt for his views of the liquor traffic. Ten years hence this. too. will bo our wonder. The main risk to tho brain within is phys ical. Mind and mattor are nnited in the brain-vault, where all thought has origin. Vital force is essential to hard brain-work,-and the risk of thorough vigorous thinking is depleted vitality and broken balance. The marked mental developments, lopsides, more or le3s awry, are commonly the result of ill-directed thinking. Minds aro endowed with native bias, some leaning to one field of thought, aoino to another. It is often the case that one thinks only in one direction, and about one class of objects, which results in that some sides of the mind get an unnatural growth, while others sutler atrophy, and an abnormal bulge of intellect is as common and often as marked as goitre is in Switzerland. Many profes sional men follow hard in the wake of our fanatics and cranks. A well-balanced part of our mental machinery is impossible where a man contracts the pedantry of a particular profession and gives himself to exclusive attention to a particular pursuit. A mathematician would go through a sublime poem like a sum in arithmetic. The impulsive Shelley became a visionary and a iooi on tne suojecioi noeriy uy yielding to the original bias of a nature that chafed at restraint, and by morbidly dwelling on the legalized tyranny of laws and ordi nances. Chicago's Anarchists are Shelley's descendants. It is morbid hugging of a sin gle idea, and the exaggerated sense of wrong born of that contracted thinking. that has changed the garrets and the slums of many a city into hot-beds of revolution. Man Is a complex being, but the heart is tho man even more than the head is. The regal gifts of character have their roots in the heart. The intellect, however, likes to be at the top is fond of hardship, and ! thinking tends to nurse this predilection. Here lies the moral risk the independent j development of the intellect in separation from the man. "A little learning is a dangerous thing." Precisely. Here is the chief peril along the line of mental training. Pride of rea son so easily comes to birth, and the brain gets so soon, and so unconsciously, enamored of its power and possession, and pulled up with an intellectual conceit, lbo mind no sooner quails the cup of knowledge than the tendency appears to excess, and often gets intoxicated with tho wine of intellectual delight, until it asserts itsolf in lofty lordship over every other department of our complex nature; and at last, reach ing the dreary brink of atheism, it lifts its hand to heaven, and boldly says: "There is no God!" "Take care of the body as an instrument and base for mental and spiritual exploits. To keep the mental faculties from intel lectual bulging the balances must be kept between the intellectual faculties. The main aim of colleges should be to fix men for any profession or any pursuit. The student entering college is not capable of choosing what studies, are best for him to pnrsue. Harvard's eloctives are carried too far, because they tend to a lop-sided; unbalanced scholarship. If we are to have men and women fitted for the higher trusts of fatherhood and motherhood, of civic and social life, of citizenship and statesmanship, in the home, in business, in literature, in society, in the State, the different sides of tho mind must be rounded out by a varied curriculum arranged to stimulate each and all of tho mental powers. "After all, the chief perils of intellectual stimulation are the moral perils, and to escape these m our educational processes the balances must be kept between brain and heart. In other words, the whole man must bo kept in view. The Bible should not be ignored in the colleges, for to send our children where tho higher moral sanctions are denied or ignored is to make their education a mere means of power without any care whether it be divine or devilish." The laying of tho corner-stone of the new $T0,000 library building of Wabash College, the gift of Mr. Simon Yandes, of Indianapolis, will occur on Tuesday, June 17, at S:30 r. M. The principal address will be delivered by Hon. John M. Butler. An occasion of such interest should bring together many friends of the college. EAKLIIA5I COLLEGE. Commencement F.xerclses in Two Department President Mills Baccalaureate. Special to the Indianapolis JonrnaL Richmond, Ind., Jnne 15. The exercises of commencement week opened on last Friday evening, at 8 o'clock, with the musical recital, under the directorship of Mrs. Alice B. Finley. The programme consisted of eleven well-chosen selections. Perhaps the most noteworthy of these was the violin playing by Miss Eva L. Brown. Every part of the entertainment indicated that the department of musio has already become one of Earlham's stars. The following evening was devoted to the elocutionary department. The recital of the entire class was in every way reputable.' E. P. Trueblood, professor of tnU course, and leader upon ibis occasion, did high justice to his reputation, as well as to the college, in rendering a scene from Shakspeare's "Richard III." The music of the evening, under the care of Wooten. Barrett and Miss Brown, deserves special mention. The audience was large, and in a great part from the city. Immediately following this part of the evening's enter tainment was the "microscopical soiree" in the college library. This consisted of twenty microscopic views, all of which had been prepared by the biological departmentsome by Professor Windle in person. At 10 o'clock this morning, in the collego chapel. President Mills delivered the baccalaureate address to the graduating class. The ninsic was conducted by the college chorus class: invocation and benediction giyen by Dr. Hobbs, of Bloomingdale.

President Mills is an earnest and attractive speaker, impressing his listeners with tho quiet dignity of his bearing. For one hour he held complete control of his hearers. The text of nis sermon was taken from Habakkuk. Tho speaker developed tho line of thought that man is born destined to be a conqueror; that life is a search after power. No power is so great as the hidden power portrayed in a typical character. No man grows strong in this world by himself. Companionship is a necessity; one is dependent on the other. Power comes by surrender to that which God has placed about us. In the past two days, many of the alumni, together with members of the Earihara board, have arrived at the college. The coming week is very promising in every respect.

EVENTSIN JAPAN AXD CORE A

Grievous Insults to Foreigners by Stu dents at Tokio Which Go Unpunished Rumor that Corea lias Been Taken by the Rus sians Protests of Church People in EnglandCheaper Meat for Jews, OIUENTAI. HAPPENINGS. 4 Foreigners at Tokio Insulted by Students Rumor that Russia Has Taken Corea. A correspondent of the Associated Press in Tokio, Japan, writes as follows, under date of Juno 1: "The excitement following the depredations of the students of Tokio has decreased a little since they apologized to the Rev. W. Imbrey, the New Jersey missionary who was cut by them two weks ago. That gentleman has en tirely recovered, anil it seems nothing more is to bo hoard of the matter. The foreign ers feel outraged that the culprits are not severely punished. As the result of their escape from any more than a simple apology the Soshi aro becoming more bold day by day, and insults to foreigners are increas ing. I he sailors coming from lokohama are armed with . revolvers, fearing there may bo some show of violence. The gov ernment seems to be doing all in its power to deal with the students as a class, but no incivility can be offered them as individuals because of their desperate character. In the meantime the distress among thou sands of the starving people of lokio and other larso cities is being ameliorated to a great extent by the foreigners, as well as by the Japanese. One nobleman is feeding a thousand people a day out of his own funds. The price of rice is higher than ever before, both in Japan and Corea, and this is probably only a forecast of the suffering to follow. The outlook for tho growing crop of rice is not good, owing to heavy and continued rains. mere are many vague rumors a ileal con cerning the reported taking of Corea by the Russians. There is some trouble in Corea, but the government officials of Japan know nothing dehnitely as to its nature. All that is surely known is that all of the British men-of-war are lying in the harbors with steam up and under orders to sail at a moment's notice. Several of them have already cone. The American naval force, under Rear Admiral Belknap, is also expecting orders to sail for Corea. An officer of the British ship Severn said to the Associated Press representative that he had seen dispatches and orders which would astound the foreigners in Japan. The dispatches from Corea say that the new United States minister, Augustiu Heard, has arrived there, and that the re tiring minister, Hon. H. A. Dmsraore, is about to depart. The latter was presented with a testimonial of esteem by the foreigners of the country, Mr. W. A. Eber, of the Russian legationjmaking the presentation. Other advices from Japan received by the steamer Oceanic, last night, state that the government has changed the bank note regulations so as to extend the noteissuing power of the Bank of Japan irom seventy-live to eighty-tive millions a year. This was done to raise the money market. Defalcations to the amount of 46.000 have been aiscovered in the accounts of Z. M. Barradas, superintendent of the moneyordor department of the general postoffice at Hong Kong, who absconded recently. PROTESTS OP CIltJRCnMEN. Salisbury Assaulted for Being Friendly to the Pope Census Question Objected to. London, June 15. It is rather singular that while the Roman Catholics of Ireland are generally arrayed against the government. Lord Salisbury's Ministry is being assailed in England on the charge of being too friendly with the Pope. Tho low churchmen are much aroused by the recent mission of Sir Lintorn Simmons to the Vatican and especially by the commission that marriages between Catholics and nonCatholics in Malta must have papal . approval for their validity. It is asserted that Lord Salisbury had no right to send a mission to tho Vatican without the authority of Parliament, and that such authority has never been granted. It is also pointed out that Lord Salisbury has favored, in the appointment of bishops, the clergy who lean toward Roman forms, and that eminent men have been ignored because they are "low churchmen." ? The government is also bitterly criticised for its announced intention to question the people as to their religious faith, in tho decennial census of 1891. There is but one precedent of the kind in England, and that in 1851, when statistics were gathered as to attendance on religious worship and accommodation for such attendance. The penal sections of tho census act did not apply to this branch of information, and the results were neither valuable nor satisfactory. Protests are coming in from nonconformist bodies against a religious census, the motive apparently being that the enumerators would discriminate in favor of the Church of England by counting for that church ah who do not belong to any church. A series of questions were sent to the congregations of the Established Church of Scotland, asking whether marriages were usually celebrated in the church or in the home. The answers showed that in the Highlaud s and northeastern counties marriages had been held in the church from time immemorial; elsewhere the custom was somewhat mixed. One parish answered: "Most frequently in church, on account of a special money bequest to tho tallest, smallest, youngest and oldest brides there married during the year." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Flan of English Jews to Get Cheap Meat Prepared According to Church Laws. London, June 15. For a considerable time there has been a protest among tho. poorer Jews in England against the high almost prohibitive price which they have had to pay for their meat as compared with tho prico paid by their Christian neighbors. The matter has more than on or engaged tho attention of the Jewish administrative authorities. But the difficulty with which those gentlemen had to contend was the fact that the cheap English meat was chiefly foreign mutton, and that the sheep wore not, of course, killed in accordanco with tho Jewish rites. In order to meet this difficulty two shocketim were recently sent to Buenos Ayres for the purpose of killing sheep there and preparing the meat according to Jewish rites. A telegram from Buenos Ayres states that the first cargo of this meat has left for London, and that arrangements have been made for the regular conveyance of similar cargoes. President Harrison Toasted by Riflemen. Bremen, June 15. The schuetzenf est committee assembled this morning with bands and banners and marched to the Central Hotel, where the American riflemen are staying, and conducted the visitors .to the schuetzenhof. Enthusiastic crowds lined the route. After a banquot in the Rifle Hall the contest opened at 3:30 r. m. The evening programme included a military concert, popular sports, fire-works, supper and a ball. Speaking at the banquet in reply to a toast to tho American visitors, Mr. Schneider, of New York. Raid that the toast to the Emperor and the Empire proposed by Mr. Hanschild, president of the Bremen Scheutzenverein, found a joyful echo in the hearts of German Americans. Only since Germany had been united had the Germans in America become prominent and respected. What the German's liked about America was the general freedom enjoyed by tho people..' He concluded by offering a toast in honor of President Harrison. r . The London Police Trouble. LoNDONvJnne 15. The feeling of indignation on the part of tho London police at their treatment by the government hourly increases. The latest and by no means the least cause of irritation is tho cutting down by Home Secretary Matthews of the bills for expenses and overtime of the men. What the Secretary's object is in harassing the force can only be conjectured. It is believed by many that the intention of the government is to provoke a general strike and thus obtain an excuse for getting rid of a largo number of tho rank and file and

" Crime In Ireland. London, June 15. In Ireland the situation is very grave, and crimes of violence are not infrequent. A young man named James Walsh, found in a dying condition, with a bullet-wound in his head, near his father house, in a remote section of the County Cork, is believed to have been shot by a party of men who were engaged in an attack on the premises of a farmer named Mynihan. It is thought Walsh remonstrated against the outrage, and received a bullet intended for the inmates of the house. The police are still at sea as to the can 8e of the explosion near tho police barracks at CasheL Several police officers had a narrow escape. A half-pound gunpowdercan was found, which had either been thrown at the barracks or placed with a fuse against the wall, Grievances of L.ondon Postmen. London, Jnne 15. -The postmen, who are as much at odds with Postmaster-general Haikes as the police are with Home Secretary Matthews, held an immense secret meeting to-day, the outcome of which has not been made known, though it was expected that a final decision on the question of a strike was to be reached to-day.
