Miss Verna Bird in clear, forcible mannerdelivered an oration on The Worship of Mars. Whoever reads history must be strongly impressed with.the promin­ ence given to war,, Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war-any more” , f,or it shows us that war is against the revealed w ill o f Grid, W ith these facts militating^agaihst warfare and showing that it is mot in accordance with our civilization, we may seel: , the reason, of our delay in abolishing this evil. Influences are at work, which, lead the people to see the evils'jof war. . A last great tendency toward peace is found in the increasing goodness of the world. Love, charity, truth and reverence are a ll more common than they wore, and, these are the' qualities which arc for peace. ’ W e stand at this hour o f our national life at the parting of the ways, From one direction comes the sound of the m artia l: drum beat, and the shout of gathering armies. From the-other comes the call of love and truth, o f spiritual freedom, of peace and good w ill the voice o f the Prince of. Peace. , “ The End- is not Y e t” was de­ livered by Mr. Offh Daniels.

Many w ili rush through life with only a dim view of their future and a t last w ill be found farther from the goal than When they started. 1 believe we are nearlhg dawn o f a Coming triumph. The concessions made by the scientific would en­ courage us to believe that the’ end w ill be more glorious than the be­ ginning. Much has been done in the past and much still remains for us to do. H aving these thoughts as our polar-star we should adopt the sentiment of Horace Mann, “ Bo ashamed-to die unless you have ac­ complished something” Our every day life is a battle ground Where we have the opportunity o f displaying heroism and true nobility o f charac­ ter. And 'as we go from here to­ night may those traces o f character which we have learned in the dawn, remain with us all through the days of our life-time. “ Heroic Elements in d iam e te r.” by Miss Phoebe Hfunia. d iam e te r is an individual qnatter, the good qualities of a great man may be suc­ cessfully united, and yet, his charac­ ter cannot he ours; for wo are each the master o f our own thoughts, words and deeds.

Some o f the greatest and noblest men of America have risen from the humblest and the poorest opportunities. Their youth lias been spent in homes destitute of every comtort in life, and with sur­ roundings, where without eneourag- mont of. their native genius many have reached their majority before acquiring any opportunity for suc­ cess whatever.

Stop! Look ! Listen ! by Miss Jon nettle Orr. Impatient and restless,one beautiful afternoon, I started for a walk, not noticing and little earing whither the way led. I t was one of those autumnal days, when the foliage o f the trees 1ms been slightly tinted by the frost, while summer y e t seems loath to leave. Boon however, I observed a railroad .cross ingr with these words. Stop, Look, Listen. N o goal is too far distant for him who qualifies himself for it with patienee. L ife is like a winding lane, on .either side bright flowers and tempting fruits, which we scarcely pause to admire or taste, so eager are wo to pass to some opening o f promise in the dis­ tance/ which wc . imagine w ill be more beautiful;but alas! we find we have only hastened by these temp­ ting scenes to arrive at a desert waste.

Henderson could not be found to testify, but Llttler swore that he had made the purchase.
