Stingy people often try to shelter themselves behind the widow’s mite. p —— + e+ -— - Festival Week at Immanuel College, Greens- boro, N.C. Commencement week was festival week at Im- manuel College. Sunday night, May 30th, Prof. Bakke preached the annual sermon before a large and intelligent audience. He selected for his text Matt. 16, 25, taking for his theme: “What Is Life?” He first showed wherein true life does not consist; namely, not in worldly pleasures, aspiration after fame and honor, nor in seeking riches. He then showed from Holy Scripture that true life consists in following Christ in true faith, walking in His footsteps, and manifesting Christ in our lives. Tuesday night an exercise was given by the stu- dents of the Preparatory Department. ‘This exer- cise consisted of declamations, singing, and dia- logues. On Wednesday night religious addresses were delivered by the graduates of the Theological Department. ‘The annual concert by the students’ choir, as- sisted by Prof. Lochner, was rendered on Thursday night. Some very beautiful songs were sung by the choir, and the selections played by Prof. Lochner on the pipe organ were very touching and charming. Friday was commencement day. The program of this day consisted of essays, orations, and an address by the Rev. John McDavid, of Charlotte. He showed very forcibly why so many graduates make a failure in life. This term we had more graduates than we have ever had in the history of Immanuel College. The graduates from the Theological Department were: John Alston, Fred Ford, and the undersigned. ‘The graduates from the Preparatory Department were: Pearl Windsor, Mary Brown, Willie Wagstaff, Otho _ Lynn, Claudie Galloway, Martha Brandon, and Blanche Galloway. We see from this that God hias richly blessed Immanuel College, and that the professors have been working hard and faithfully in the work whereunto God has called them. May God bless Immanuel College in the future as He has done in the past: the Faculty, their in- structions, and the students. May He also bless the Church at large to the praise of His glorious name! . CHartry Pray. Card of Thanks. Bethlehem congregation, at New Orleans, La., herewith tenders sincere thanks to the kind donors that have again helped us to a complete Communion Set after our former set had been stolen.
