THE STORY BACCALUREATE ADDRESS BY REV. 'WAREING ATTENDED BY VAST ASSEMBLAGE. Methodist Minister Delivers Sermon to Plymouth High School Class Full of Deep Thought. Every scat, every chair, and every aisie iui both the audience room and the Sunday School room of the Presbyterian church was crowded Sunday evening when Rev. E. C. Wareing preached the baccalaureate sermon for the graduates of the Plymouth High School. The music of the great pipe organ, the solos and quartettes was appropriate, and the prayer by Rev. Pflug was almost an inspiration. Rev. E. C. Wareing was at his best. His subject was the 'University of Hcliopolis" in the city of the sun in Egypt three thousand years ago, and the hero of 'his address was the young man who after spending seven year? in prison .was given his freedom by the king and stepped from the prison gloomy walls at the age of 2tf years to the position of prime minister of Egypt, being chosen over all the great scholars of the finest universitv them, on earth. The sermon was an appeal for manhood and womanhood, fcr individuality, morality, spirituality determination and courage to stand for what is right at all times and under all circumstances. It was one of the lest addresses ever delivered in Plymouth and we believe every member of the class of 1010 is well as all others who gave the sermon thoughtful attention will be better for having heard it. The address by Rev. Wareing was as follows: I am to speak to you tonight uixm this subject "The University of Hcliojxilis." You have not received a catalogue from there announcing the course for next year. That University existed in a far oil day arrd if 1 am to take you there tonight, you will have to come with me over sea and land to Egypt and then back with me to that day, when the city of "ON" was the intellectual capital of the land of the Pharaohs. That city was build a few miles north and eat of the (present city of Cairo. It was calkd by the Greeks llehopolis, or the City of the Sun," This city was noted for two things, first it had a great Temple and to this was attached a great institution of learning. Here came the great Scholars of the world to study. P'lato studied here and Herodotus wrote parts of his great history here and many other traditions gather alwtit the place to make it famous in the annals of history. It was from this city that the story of the Sphinx was given to the world. The-Wor-ship of the Temple was given to that of the Sun. The Pharaoh had erected four famous obhsks iust outside the gates of the city. They stood tall and splendid signifying the rays of the sun. Each year a fabled bird with beautiful plumage came from Arabia and built her nest in the tower or upon some wall, of spices and perfumed twigs and

When low while the worshipers in the temple gazed upon her and bemoaned her loss out of the ashes she came to life more beautiful than ever and upon swift wings Hew away to her native home. This has been interpreteted as the symbol of the Scholars' life. He generates the fire which will consume him. his ohj life perishes that out of its ashes he may rise to a new being formed and fashioned after the similitude of reason and spnit. But it is to the great University of learning that I want to call your attention tonight. There was another place of learning in that ancient city which is of more interest to us than perhaps the Halls of the University of Hcliopolis. And I am not so much inter ested in this place of secondary learning as I am in the student who -went l here. He made the place a University. Iefore he went there no student had ever graced its halls. Indeed even now as we look over the story we declare that school of learning had no faculty, no library, no labratory, no pretentions, whatever as a school of learning and yet when this student of whom I am to tell you came within its walls there began a process of education that has surpassed all the record ever made by the great and pretentious University of the City of the Sim. iMy student of whom I am to tell you came from up the country. He had been raised in a home where he had everything he could desire. Indeed he was the favored child of the home. Love and ease surrounded him on every hand. He flourished in a favorable atmosphere. He grew above his surroundings. He stood out against the atmosphere of the home. He had ten brothers, but he was rot one of them. He was conscious of his own existence. He lx-came so conscious of his own importance that at one time he dreamed that the very stars and moon bowed to him. and at another tinv when he was in the field the sheavea of his brothers did obeisance befor his sheaf. He was a self conscious young man, who lived so far away from his brothers and his father in his. thought and ideals and ambitions that there was a great gulf between them. His father loved him f : his beauty but his brothers hated him for his arrogance. One day the hatred in the home for him became so great that his brothers planned to get rid of him. He was started away towards Egypt. He was to be taken out of the atmosphere of the home life with its clement of love and protection and placed in that situation, where love would not be known. He did not know that he was in the process of education. He did not know what education was perhaps. P.ut even if this is true he was no more in the dark than the .great men who are at the heads of our institutions of learning todav. For they tell us that ajfter all' they do not agree and have not, since the days of Socrates upon what education is. That mav seem strange to us, but it is "never-the-less true that educators are not agreed as to, not onlv what education is, but thev are also not agreed as to what they educate. This results from the" fact that they are not agreed as to what mind i. We find definitions of the mind running from that of bald materialism to that of extreme Idealism. Ernest Hacckle as a representative of the extreme materialistic school declares that "mind is a conglomeration of molecules in rapid vibration." While another materialist comes along and proves that molecules a,re nothing more tban speculation and are "nothing." If that be

true then mind according to this school oif thought is a "conglo meration- of nothings in rapid vi m - - oration. And who will not deny that this statement is not far from right in many demon strations. On the other hand the Idealistic school under the leader ship of Bishop Berkley, the father of modern Idealistic thinking de clares that mind is every tiling and that nothing has an exist encc only as it is thought While another member of this same school comes along and de clares that everything is mind whether we think it or not. That there is a great universal mind and that we are simply individ ualized universal mind and that we are great only as we have the power to exercise our mind. That the measure of every man is mind. But after all we know that man is mind and body and both ol these niust be reckon ed with. The best statement that, we have now of the- educational conception is that given by Prof. Home in his book "The Psych ological Principles of Education." In this book Ive declares for four methods of -procedure. He claims there- ought to be an ed ucation "which will teach the spir it of man. He thus makes a two-fold1 division of man and requires a two-fold method in his .education. But this es tablishes a' duality that close an alysis will not support. Must there be an education for the mind and the spirit of man? Are the two so different that they require two processes wb'en the training of education is begun? What is the difference between the mind and the spirit of man. The mind of man is not identical with the brain of man. Is not the mind the power that docs the thinking by using what we call the intellectual faculties? Is not the mind of the thinker, the atmosphere in which the thinker does his work? What is. the spirit of man but the mind or the being that feels, thhiks and wills through the operations of the mind using the brain as the instrument of thinking? The spirit of man is the thinker, the being back of the brain, the personality which in its selfconscious and self determinative existence expresses itself through the faculties of the mind and the operations of the physical brain. 'Hie mind land the spirit are one and so related that they do not Irequire la different process of education to develope them unto their fulness. The problem then of modern education is not that of the Library, nor of the labratory, nor of the education of the central nervous system, nor of the training of the faculties of the mind but rather of the personality of man, that self-conscious, selfdeterminative being who sits at the center of mans conscious life using this physical as an instrument of expressions of himself. In his going forth on the highway of knowledge he must be predisposed towards the truth and against falsity and have an affinity for the right and against the wrong if he is to find his way with any certainty through this world. The goal of education must surely be that of the personality of man. Without this it falls short and marks itself with failure. My student who went down to take his training in the city of Hcliopolis, the city of the Sun, did not kndw 'what was before him and it was better that he did not know. But this one thing he did he took with him one thing thiat determined tois future. He took a strong personality. When we 'speak of personality we mean two things, first, self-consciousness and second self-determination. These two constitute personality. Tt is out of these two elements cf man's being that the moral life arises and by which we become moral beings.

Banner Convention

r Held in Plymouth, Saturday, June n Several State Candidates and Other Noted Political Leaders Will Attend.

From Ever' township, from every neighborhood, from every nook and corner as well as from every city in 'Marshall county comes assurances that the people are aroused and are determined to have a change in administra tion of the affairs of the county. a ever before has there been such enthusiasm in the Republican party and such unity in favor of good government among the best men of all TvartiW i Therefore the Republican convention to be held in Plymouth Saturday, June 11 is ex pected to be, and should be the rgest and most enthusiastic convention ever held in Marshall county. One delegate is to be selected in each township for every five Rqmblican votes cast at the last presidential election. lnis will give the convention 578 delegates and 290 votes will be necessary to nominate candidates. And there will be no lack of candidates and no favorites in the race for nominations. Candidates will not be barred because their names are not announced before the meeting of the convntion. Hie race is open to every Republican and it is hoped tnat the best men will win and a ticket will be chosen that will command the respect of all par ties, buch a ticket can and will win, and all that is meccssary to get such a ticket is for every Republican to attend his town ship convention Saturday afternoon, June 4, and assist in se lecting representative men for delegates. . Word comes from State headquarters that, Hon. Otis E. Gullev, candidate for secretary of state, Judge Miller, candidate iMy student went down to his training in the obscure school of the City of the Sun with the 'basis of his moral life -well established. He was a self conscious and self determinative being with a sense of God in his soul. The anchorage of his moral life was the admonition, "How can I do this thing in the sight of God." How the university to which my student went was the Prison in Potifers House or thereby. iVe do not think of Prisons as places of learning. They are general ly rated the other way. They are places mat rum not onlv JkhIv and morals but mind and soul as well. Their viciousness and their slavery, their darkness and their suffering, their hope lessness declare that, here no mind can raise to strength and no soul can keep its grasp on goodness and come out disciplin ed and arrayed in the beauty that will be sought of men. But here my student, stayed for over seven years taking the entire course. The Pharaoh was seeking one day a man wise enough to tell him the meaning of his dreams. He was referred to my student standing with-the prison keys in his hand, and he gave him the interpretation thereof. Pharoah was later seeking a man wise enough for Prime Minister nnd Out of tliHs prison from which no man had ever risen to eminence walked this young man to take his place as Prime Minister of the land of the Pharaohs. What marvel was this? What training could have ever prepared him for this great ofHce. He took hold of the task with tnergv and certainty and the first thing he did was to outline a policy covering tourteen years ana winning the respect of; all the realm. What a training was his out of the prison he leaped to the throne. From the company of criminals he marched in a day to be companion of Courtiers. iVho shall say that his education was defectivt in any wav? He had received a train ing that every one of us would gladly receive but for the vears of prison life. An education that prepared us to stand before kings and hold ofhee among great statesmen. 'My student Joseph, son of Jacob as graduate of the university of the "City of the Sun iwent out to go up and down the land as We representative of the Government and to be the greatest man of his day.
