baccalaureate sermon before the class
of 09 Tuesday evening iu the Method
ist church where a large audienco
gathered to listen to this initial feature
of commencement week
This is one of the marked annual
functions of the school year and is not
without its significance
The sermon was delivered along the
line of character - building Christian
character being tho lofty achievement
held up before the class for its aim
Lh jro was conviction and earnestness
and eloquence in the sermon with good
advice and suggestion
A special choir rendered the Gloria
from Mazarts 12th mass and other
selections in a satisfactory manner
The church was attractive in its dec
oration of national colors ferns potted
plants and cut flowers etc and the
presence of the class of thirteen girls
and six boys together with the high
school teacher corps and pupils of the
high school left nothing to be desired
as a scene to stir the imagination and
warm the heart of the beholder
This service was scheduled for last
Sunday evening but the heavy rain
storm of that date made it advisable
to postpone the same until Tuesday
evening

HEAVY RAIN VMTED THIS SECTION
From Two to Four Inches Reported In
Various Pans of Red Willow
A long desired raiu fell over this part
of the state last Sunday af tornuou and
evening At this
place the rain gauge
registered two inches but at other
points in the county as much aH four or
five inches is claimed The average for
the entire county will doubtless roach
two inches or better and tho bonetit is
immense from from every point of con
sideration
Fortunately too the rain was ac
companied with but slight damage in
any part of tho county either from rain
wind or lightuiDg Already crops have
taken on vigorous life and growth and
confidence has been restored in many
hearts
Some minor bridges and fencing in
places sulFered from the fliod but in
total the damage is very bmall and as
against the profitside of the transaction
may be regarded as inconsiderable
