Baccalaureate I Services of 700 Graduates Todav y Tour Omaha High School Cl a sscs to Hear Sermons; j Franks Slaying Is Stressed. Seven hundred young men and women graduates of the four public .ligh schools will attend baccalaure ate sermons today, and they will be directed along the wavs of usefulness and righteousness by the mintstcis 11 four Omnha churches. Central High school graduating class of 358, will attend services this • morning at First Central Congrega tional church, where Rev. Frank G. Smith will speak on "Buried Treas ure.” Rev. O. D. Raltzly. pastor of Kountze Memorial church, will speak this morning on “A Victorious Rife," to the Technical high graduating class of 167. ltcv. James E. Wagner, pastor of First Methodist church, will speak on "Wholeness of Rife.” to the South high graduating class of ! 18, to night at S in the auditorium of the school. Benson high class of 18 will attend services this afternoon at 4 in Benson ■Methodist church, where Rev. Arthur H. Adams w ill speak on "Foursquare.” The presidents of the four gradu ating classes are: Central high. Melba Burke: Tech nical high, Carol Jones; South high. Edward Curran; Benson high, Alton Dietz. To tile Franks Slaying Three of the ministers, excepting Rev. Mr. Adams, have references to the Franks slaying at Chicago in rheir sermons, referring to tills tragedy as a horrible example of education with out the directing force of character or principle. In tliis connection, Rev. Mr. Wagner will ask: "Who will say of the slayers of the Franks lad hi Chicago that they were men? Manhood consists in something more than physical strength, Intellectual keenness or voluminous learning. The trouble with the slayers of the Franks boy in Chicago was that, they had informa tion but were devoid of high motives. "We have all known educated fools. We have known 200-pound men who had degrees from colleges and could make money, who had not even a major fraction of manhood. "What is manhood or womanhood? j It is something more than physical 1 >ower, intellectual brilliance or depth "f learning. Manhood Is Character. "Manhood Is a. thing of character, I ideals and fidelity to ideals^, As we have known educated fools, we have Known ignorant noblemen. Education in reality is something more than learning. It Is not accurate to speak of an educated fool. Educa tion lias to do with character. Given a splendid physical form, a bright mind, a breach of learning, but one other thing is necessary to produce genuine manhood and that is the will to use physical energy, intellectual keenness, depth of learning in an unselfish way- for a great-cause. E-uk of objective or wrong ob ective ruins more lives than lack f learning or of intellectual power. , * he will to do the best one known iiarantees fine manhood. If added to noli character there Is depth of learn ng, breadth of Information, then treat personality is evolved. "It Is the function of the teacher both to give information and to awak en high resolve to devote life's en ergies to good causes. That graduate leaving the halls of learning with nothing more than information has been cheated out of more than half of his education. Learning is but an Instrument In the hands of intelligence and intelli gence not aimed at some worthy end is like a storm-tossed ship without a rudder, and ruin comes." Seurce »r Life’s Issues. Dr. Baltzly will divide his topic into three parts: "The Issues of Life Are Out of the Heart," "The Charac ter of the Natural Heart,” and "The Method of Establishing a Right Heart. ' A few excerpts from his ser mon follow: I he Issues of life Include our plans, purposes and acts. \*hich have 'heir origin and course from the heart. Position does not determine, for persons of the same position do \ciy differently. Wisdom does not determine them, for persons who read and study tlie same books, do <JifT.-r witly. Possession does not determine litem, for persons of equal possession in both kind and qsantit.v, do differ ently. intellect does not determine them. One of the young men who has confessed to a part In the hor t ible Chicago murder Is reported to lie a doctor of philosophy at Ifl. The plans and purposes and acts of life are out of the heart. "One of the world's greatest men _ declares the heart to be deceitful about ail things, and desperately wicked. This is a rather unhappy contemplation for the source of nil life's issues. The heart, the source of life's Issues, deceitful above all things and desperately wicked! Is it • rue? It must he acknowledged that a great part of the world’s business lias relation to the existence of crimes. Either to prevent them, to gxinrd against, or to punish them. Our laws, courts, prisons, penlten i la ties, locks, bars, munitions are all evidence of the wickedness of man. "The flood of live* gone wrong is not due to a deliberate planning of a course that would wreck them. Their hearts promised gain, but de ceiveil them.” Rife's Iturird Treasures. Rev. Mr. Smith prepared bis bac caInure,-lie sermon around the thought of the "Burled Treasure." He will refer this morning to legends of buried treasures and of the thought cherished by most . people, that they will discover a hutted treasure, or will receive some great material benefit of a mythical nature "Education Is the unfolding of powers of man by exercising each in its particular realm, by properly co ordinating and subordinating, and by talcing advantage of the great law of 1 habit. "There are almost unlimited poten tlnlltles enfolded within the life of •very being. “Tlie burled treasures within earli t young life are physical, splrtual, menial and social powers which should be developed. "You should recover the burled treasures In other people. Tou will find them as you come to know them and It requires something more than rubbing elbows. There are burled treasures in the natural world. We should not stalk through the world and take things for granted." Dimensions of Life. Speaking of "Foursquare," Rev. Mr. Adams, to the Benson High graduates, will present the following thoughts this afternoon: "Tlie first dimension Is length, and what about tlie length of your life. I don’t mean years, hut ambition, willpower, dominant purpose. Length Is the shortest distance between where you are and where you are going. "Babbitt says. 'I never did any tiling In my iifo I really wanted to do.’ So many things work out differently than we thought they would. But go ahead, ‘hitch your wagon to a star,' have a great ambition, aim high and. drive through to the ac complishing of your goal.’ "But don't forget breadth. A straight line has no beauty until you join it up with other lines. There are other folks in the world besides yourself. You must sometimes take your eyes off your .objective and realize that you have neighbors. Wbat about your interest in your fellow man? Will your outrenrh be as great as your forward drive? “You won't enjoy the top of the grade when you siake it if you haven't a few- friends around to enjoy It with you. "And then the third dimension is height, the enthonement of an ideal, the exaltation of spiritual above material. Your ambition and pur pose and human contracts will not complete your life. The forward drive lo worldly success and attainment, the outward reach toward friends and loved ones and neighbors will not mean much to you if you do not reach upward to the great father heart of God. No success will mean much if you leave God nut. No friend ships and fellowships on earth will sustain you If you neglect to get acquainted with God.” Over Bonier to ^ e<l. Table Rock, Neb..
