GRADUATES MAKE SUCCESSFUL END Class Day Commencement Exercises Among Best In History Last week was the closing week of the Syracuse school. This was the first year of nine months for this school. Pupils and teachers were fearful lest warm weather make the work of the last month irksome. The weather continued excelled to the close. No class ever had a graduation week of nearer a perfect weather than the class of 1914. The examinations began on Monday and closed on Wednesday noon. On Wednesday afternoon the teachers of all the grades had an exhibit, the work of the first three grades consisted of color work, paper folding and cutting, in addition to some very good writing and language work. There was shown in the 4th, sth and 6th grades art work, some very excellentpieces of work, some very unique peices of card board constructions and sewing work that would do credit to adults. The seventh and eighth grades exhibited som fine maps and books, thev revealed extraordinary care and skill. The sewing and paper exhibit were also very good. In the high school features of special merit that deserve commendation were the sewing, wood work book reviews and the history charts. The regular and special work in all the grades was exceptionally well done. The class of 1914 gave a program on Thursday afternoon to an audience of parents and friends that filled the Opera House, the class numbered 23, and it was impossible for all to read, but all had prepared essays. The program consisted of special musical numbers by Forrest Bowld, Lonnie Searfoss and a quartette, by John Snobarger, Virgil Mock, Joe Rapp and Philip Bowser. In addition to these musical numbers there were three choruses rendered by the class. All the numbers were very well given. Essays were read by Eugene Hoopingarner, Guy Bushong, Wilma Kitson and Ruth Jeffries. All were very well written and much enjoyed by the audience. The second part of the program consisted of a class history by Eva Pearson, a class will by Ruth Launer, and a class prophecy by John Snobarger. The humor in these readings will long be remembered by the class. The program was thorougly enjoyed by the audience. The commencement exercises were held in the Opera House on Friday evening, at 8:15 the class teachers and speaker took chairs on the stage. Prof. Tapy of Wabash delivered the address, his subject was ‘ More Abundant Lase.” The address was full of good solid thought and enlivened by real wit. At the closing of the address, Supt. C. C. Bachman gave a short address to the class and presented the diplomas. The exercises of the week were all very successful. The class of 1914 can sav that no class ever had a better closing week.

SUNDAYJCHOOL Lesson IX.—Second Quarter, For May 31, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Leeson, Luke xvli, 11-19. Memory Verses, 17-19—Golden Text, Luke xvli, 18—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Steams. Before we consider the grateful Samaritan it will be helpful to look at the Whitsuntide lesson on the revealing spirit In I Cor. 11, 1-10. Whether it be the Old Testament or the New, the great truth stands that ‘the things of God knoweth no- man, but the Spirit of God,” but what a comfort It is that the believer has received the Spirit of God that he may know the things that are freely given of God. To Jthe natural man who has not been born again these things of God are all foolishness, for only the spiritual man can discern the things of the Spirit (1 Cor. ii, 11-14). The whole Bible has been written by the Spirit of God and Is forever settled in heaven (Il Tim. Ui, 16;. Ps. cxix, 89), so that it may truly be said to be the Spirit’s Bible copyrighted in heaven. He therein tells us of the living and true God. His love for the lost, His great salvation. His coming kingdom and glory. He also tells us of the devil as the great enemy of God and man, the father of lies, the murderer, the god of this world, who will to the last make war with the Lord and the saints, but who will finally be sent to the lake of tire forever. As to the inability of the wisdom of this world to grasp things spiritual, consider the revelations of God given to the kings of Egypt and Babylon, the utter helplessness of'all the wise men of those lands to grapple with them, and the ease with which Joseph and Daniel, men of God filled with the Spirit of God, solved every difficulty. The Spirit is ever ready to convince of sin and lead the sinner to Jesus Christ, the Saviour. Then by His word He gives assurance of salvation, then makes the body of the believer His temple, revealing Christ to him and through him and working in him all the good pleasure of the Lord unless hindered' by pride, unbelief or self in some form of working. No one was ever so filled with and controlled by the,,Holy Spirit as the Lord Jesus Christ and in Him the Spirit wrought perfectly and unhindered (Acts x, 38). It was so in some measure with prophets and apostles (II Pet 1, 21; Acts i, 8; ii, 4; iv, 31; v, 32; vi, 3; vii, 55; xiii, 2), and there is nothing we should so earnestly and constantly desire as to be filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit, remembering that nothing can ever be accomplished for God by-tbe-might or power or wisdom of man. but only by the Spirit of God (Zech. iv. 6). Turning to the regular lesson, we see our Lord on His way to Jerusalem, whither His face was steadfastly set for the time was drawing near for Him to be received up, or, In other words, to be slain and be raised the third day (Luke jx, 22. 51). Although He and His messengers were sent primarily to the lost sheep of the bouse of Israel and not to gentiles or Samaritans (Matt x, 5,6; xv, 24). for. the kingdom was for Israel, and He was Israel’s Messiah, yet He was ever ready to bless all, and the time was drawing near when He would be rejected and crucified by the Jews, then the kingdom would be postponed and the gospel given to all the world to gather from thence in this age of “the mystery” his body, the church, to share with Him His kingdom and glory. As these ten lepers stood afar off and cried, “Jesus. Master, have mercy on us.” His heart of compas slon went out to them, and He sent them to the priests, which implied that their request was granted and the work was done (Luke v, 14: Matt. viii. 4). They evidently so understood It and started on their way. and as they went they were cleansed. One of the ten was so full of joy and gratitude that he at once turned back to thank his healer, and glorifying God with a loud voice fell on his face at Jesus’ feet and gave Him thanks. He was a Samaritan, which seems to imply that the rest were Jews. How pathetic seems our Lord’s question, “Were there not ten cleansed, but where are the nine?” None to give glory to God save this stranger. Is it so still that He finds gratitude only in one out of ten? How is it with you? Leprosy was one of the emblems of Israel’s national condition before God. as when Moses’ hand was made leprous and then healed (Ex. iv. 6. 7) God would teach Moses and Pharaoh that, though Israel was in the sight of Egypt as unclean as a nation of lepers. He could easily cleanse and deliver them. The serpent sign was to teach Moses not to fear to approach the king of Egypt, and the water of the Nile turned to blood that God would humble the pride of Egypt , How happy this grateful leper must have been to hear the Lord Jesus say to him, “Arise; go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.” We think of His word to the penitent woman in the house of Simon, the Pharisee, “Thy sins are forgiven; * » * Thy faith hath saved thee; go In peace.” Also to the woman who had been twelve years sick and growing worse. "Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace” (Lake vii, 48, 50; vIU. 48). Garrett Graduates At Lake The graduates of the Garrett High School numbering 22 spent Sunday at Jones* Landing on Lake Wawasee. —New furniture for the Spring trade. is arriving at Beckman’s store.
