The baccalaureate sermon byBlshop Gar rett was a profound discourse on the phil osophy of education and the relation to h of supernatural Influence. His text was the Injunction. "If Ye Iove Me, Keep My t'ommandments." Beginning with history following tha close of the fall of the Roman empire, the bishop trr.ced the course of educa tional revolution through the monastic pe riods, through the reformation, the fall of the Stuarts the French revolution to Darwin, Spencer and the present day. He said that for centuries the . monsstery training had fettered Europe, while In dividual liberty of mind and purpose was denounced as crime and punished by tor tura and Imprisonment. Among other things, he ascribed the invention of the printing press as one of tha levers bring ing about the emancipation of the human mind from the darkness of medievalism. Two hundred years of effort preceded the decline of the Stuarts and the revolution of France . and the real source of ' the power causing upheavals In the existing order the divine ascribed to intellectual development. BeaatlfnI. Ciood anil True. "Whether ve consider knowledge to be the sole object worthy of pursuit, or vlr tue.'or the only guide of universal appll cation as pleasure, the beautiful, the good and the true arc exalted," said the pre. late. "But In all such ethical systems something is missing. .Tha ancients could conoeivt the Ideal, but could not reeallxe it. It waa reserved fur Christianity to show the ideal .In 'the actual the realize tlon of the good, the beautiful ' and the true' in Him who was at once the Son of God and the Son- of man. In Him the value of the Individual la proclaimed in terms of unspeakable tenderness. "All moral obligation is used to this one source, 'If ya love Me keep My com mandments.' To love all obedience. Is i-asy." . ... i . Doctrine of F.volatloa. In the doctrine of evolution as commonly expounded by science, Bishop Gsrret found the; original cause-of the origin of species .still unexplained and he Insisted that the power of the.Crea'tor must be "recognized to complete a - chain of reason. He ex tended hia philosophical and logical cotv temptations and continued: "As you stand here on the dividing line between Hhe college and the world, equipped with a high degree of intelligence, culture and tha rare charm of fair young woman hood, I recommend to your hearts the divine examplar .of redeeming love as the Infallible guide and director of your fu future. Time passes In centuries, myriad die and are forgotten, but Jesus Christ lives on forever, death having no dominion over Him. "If. you love Him. keep His commandments.' " Early Days of Saadar School. Rumlnlsiwncea. of the early daya of Trinity Sunday school were recounted at tha afternoon meeting at the cathedral Some ot those . who received their rell glous Instruction in the church in the ens and since were present to tell of the trials and, Joys of the little church on lower Farnam street. One of the Interesting features 'was the calling of the roll of all f the early members of the Sunday Arhool whore names could be secured. Those present answered to the roll and in the list were many business men of . prominence ana mothers whose children j nave outgrown ine rtunaay school age now. The meeting waa presided over by Bishop Mtllspaugh of Kansas, formerly noaa of the rthedral. He recalled number. of Interesting Incidents concern- lug people of prominence who were pupils lu the Sunday school while he waa In omana. J. an oatrand, one of the earliest member of the church, told or the efforts of the early comers to estab lish the local organisation In Omaha. Miss Trancia Butterfleld read a paper tilong the same lines and Dr. George L. Miller,' who waa Introduced by Rev. W. II. Van Antwerp as "one of my boys," vpoke of hie connection with the church forty-two years ago. Rev. Mr. Van Antwerp, mho was the rector of the old church from H to 1N8. discussed the Sundsy school aa It existed before the first church was built and after the church on lower farnam street ie occupied. He paid a hlgr trlb. ute to tr early workers who. he saTd, laid tlui foundation for the Episcopal ' church In Omaha. At the evening Jubilee service last night Bishop Williams officiated. Ad dressee reviewing the worg of the church In Omaha were made by Bishop Worthlng ton and by Blehop Mlllspaugh. who waa III Mnt TO HIGH M'HtlOl, fl.AM Pastor of Koaatse Memorial Prearsiea Baecalaorente at Hl rhareh. The baccalaureate sermon to the gradu ating class of the Omaha High school wns delivered Sunday morning at the new Kountae Memorial church. Twenty-sixtn and Fsrnsm streets, by Rev. J. K Hummon. rector. The front of the body of the church had been reserved for the graduates, who numbered 1H2, and was marked off br the class colors of yellow and whites tlrt on the pews together tslth bunches of white flowers. The class marched Into the church from the crypt, two by two. following t'" vested cliolr singing tne procewsionai. services were impressive and the church filled to the limit, all the Sunday school rooms being thrown open and filled with members of the congregation, relatives and friends of the graduates. "Class of 1W6," said Mr. - Hummon. you will find on your diplomas the figures one, nine, nought, six ana inose are me most significant part of the diploma, for by those who are, given to understand hat you graduate 1908 years after the blrtU of the Lord Jesus Christ. Your lives, there fore, are co-mingled with His. The oppor tunities you enjoy today have emanated from the Influence and power of The Son of Ood and to the energy of His model life. How am I going to live?" should be the question you ask yourselves and you should remember you are under obligations to Him. Tou who have compteted. with suc cess and credit, a high school course have but made a beginning on What should be a successful career. Tou will still have much to learn after middle life. Tour education is but embryonic. Tou always will find there Is some knowledge you do not possess. 'Ton have reached an age where your Influence Is felt. The questions of the day will soon have to be settled by you. God's call comes to those educated and who pan do the most. You are among these and should use your powers for the elevation of what la best. So direct your lives as to exert the greatest power for the general good. That you might do this you must first ot all be wealthy, not according to the meaning commonly conveyed, but according to the new idea by which the measure of wealth includes the ethical and moral Idea and the height of its development. A man may be rich In this world's goods and yet poor In all those things which make life orth living. Others may be poor In earthly possessions and yet rich In things worth while. "We need most of all riien and women of higher ideals. Every human being of masculine ' gender Is not a man nor of feminine gender a woman. Failure and bankruptcy are , more often due to lack of manhood than to lack of funds. "You must respond to the call of having definite purpose In life. No 'man can be come great unless swayed by mighty pur poses. "There is but one life worth living and that is the highest life, which is within the reach of all, if the gifts given are rightly used. 'Class of lWsJ, you are bidden to be use ful men and women. Your life should have high Ideal and let. that be Jesus Christ, who, above all men, waa preeminent and yet had no place to lay His head. He did all things well that Ha might accomplish a mighty work. Let Him bo your pattern. your examplar. Be content and do not seek change for change sake.. Rise to you? task dally and do what you set out to accomplish." rHII.DREVft DAY AT THE CHI RC'HES Voaag Peaale Receive Chief Attention from Pa I pit aa Pew. Yesterday was the day of tha children. It was tha annual Children's day, which takes precedence even over Chrlstrnaa In the prominence It gives the little ones in the services of the church. The weather waa Ideal for the occasion, and the churches were filled with the chil dren, aome of them In the morning, some In the afternoon and others In the even ing, for the hour of holding these services differs according to the idea of the officers of the Sunday school. Children's day was observed In mot of the Omaha evangelical churches with special sermons to young people, pro grama by the Sunday school children and music by the choirs especially befitting the occasion. After these services many children received the rites of baptism, and In some churches members were re ceived Into the church. In many Caaos the churches were beautifully decorated. At the First Methodlvl t.urch Rev. By ron H. Stauffer preached a Children's day sermon In the evening on "God's Errand Boys,' after which many children were baptlred. The Sunday school of the Lowe Avenue Presbyterian church Joined in Children's day exercises at 2:S0 with the children of the Walnut Hill Methodist church at the latter place. At Grace Lutheran church the children gave a pro gram in the evening entitled "Josus and the Children." for the benefit of the Orphans' home. At the C&stellar Street Presbyterian churcn special orchestral music wsa a feature of the exercises, which were held at noon. At Trinity Methodist church the children presented the theme, "Happy Voices," In recitations and exercises. The exercises at Hanacom Park Met ho aisi cnur n sunauy morning rurnlshed a very good example of the observance of Children's day. They began at 10:SO and continued until noon, with a short session or tne Kunaay school afterward. The at tendance of grown people showed that they take more interest In the affairs of the children than In regular church aer vlces, and certainly none of the little ones stayed at home. A beautiful picture they made In the front of the room, the girls all in white dresses and the boys in white waists. Fifteen or twenty of tTi very smallest lisping youngsters, children from I to 6 years of age, took part in the program, and their performances, on account of their youth, called forth more expressions of admiration from the grown folks than were accorded the older boys and girls. Beside a number of recitations and songs by the school, there were drills, solos and dialogues. The solos by Mildred Todd and Sue -Whiting were warmly ap plauded, and two songs by the primary department were leading features of the entertainment. Miss Rita Clark's class of glrla made a happy hit with a dialogue, and Mrs. Scott's claaa of boys went through a pretty drill, using the Ameri can flag. Another pretty feature was a rose drill by eight girls. After the exercises twelve or fifteen children were baptised. "A lumber of members n probation were received Into the church. ' a glimpse of association work and of life In general In a strange country, which was Intensely Interesting te his hearers. EVKRYOXK lit XPKCIAL CHORE Rev. Ryroa H. Maafer Preaches aa nod's Krraadbaya. Rev. Byron H. Stauffer bsd i unique text for his sermon on "God's Errand Boys at the First.-Methodist church last night. The text was Genesis xxlv, S3: "But. he said, I will not eat until I have told mine errand." "We have plenty of sermons about Abra ham," said Mr, Stauffer, "and every time we preachers pronounce a man and woman husband and wife, we are apt to pray that they live as Isaac and Rebecca, but we have few words for this unnamed servant who carried out Abraham's orders and' went esst on a great errand to ne gotiate a wedding. He Is really the hero of this eastern love story, and. though 3.709 years are between him and us. the words with which he refused mfeat until he had transacted his business stand out as a twentieth century motto: 'I will not eat until I have told mine errand.' "The errand boy furnishes an Illustra tion of all life's best work. There is the little telegraph messenger carrying an en velope, it may have In It 'Buy $500,000 July wheat' or 'John died this morning' or Mother. I'll be home 7 a. m. Burlington.' He Js a brother to that young man I see going up Sixteenth street about live min utes before . carrying a satchel all sagged down wit the weight of gold and sliver. An important errand at the bank Is his! And he is a brother to that fnlted States consul I saw the other week on his way to Singapore, to do Vncle Ram's errands. Yes. he's a brother, too, to the ambas sador lo the court of St. James. So are we all runners, carrying our letters awhile, handing them over to others for further deliveries and sitting down to rest with all those who have faithfully done their er rands during 10,000 years. "For whom are you an errand boy? The man of the text was working for the great Abraham. For wliotri are we working? If life is merely an errand of dollars and cents, then we are only so many ma chines, but if we realize that we are really doing chores for the kingdom of God, then life becomes grand and ennobling. "What la tne errand? I cannot tell, but It Is assigned you with the full assurance that you are able to 'perform it. I know a man who had struggled for years against the conviction that he should preach. The other year he started, late In life, to pre pare for the ministry, and he Is happy, gloriously happy, on his $400 circuit. But I know another who preached eight years and then resigned to teach school, and when I saw him last he declared he had found his place. "Perhaps your great errand has not yet come to you. Jhink you Fitthugli Iee's great work waa In the ctvir war? Oh, no. After he had reached the dreaded 60 mark he found his task In Havana. You may have 'overlooked your errand; carried It around In your pocket, like you did' the letter your wife gave you to mall. You may have thought It unimportant and de cided to wait for larger tasks. Oh, what a mistake to make! "I do not know which member of Presi dent Roosevelt's cabinet Is most Interesting to yt)u, but you will find the name of my favorite In the postoffice. He Is George B. Cortelyou, postmaster general. Like his great predecessor, Benjamin Franklin, he seems to be ever intent on doing the task set before hlm. So he rose from a depart ment stenographer, without a 'pull, but with a powerful 'push!' "Maybe your errand should be that of a little crippled ' girl I saw at the wlerdest wedding I ever attended. The ceremony was held In the basement of a great busi ness block. The guests were many and the tables were laden with the greatest assortment that bakeries and butcher shop could furnish in ready-to-eat products. The groom was a returned miner, and he had money to spend. A bright Idea to spend ome mors gold came to him and he bought g great bottle of perfume for the gueste. He pussled his brain a good deal to Know how to distribute the fragrance until he struck the plan of having this little crippled girl stand at the door with an atomlxer and spray each arrival. "Perhaps yes, undoubtedly our errand is to scatter perfume. "The text glvee a hint as to the true spirit ofthe errsnd lads of life. You, will see the feellng of Importance that this man had. His errand was everything. All things must bend before It. Are you afraid of being called conceited? You need -not be that, but you must regard your work Important or no one else will." t BACCALAUREATE AT BELI.KVTK TWO ORDERS HOLD MEMORIAL Workmen and Woodmen of - World Pay Tribute to Tbeir Dead. AUXILIARIES TAKE PART IN .EXERCISES WiWari laiprmlse tirove an Reyd Theater Stage .aad Wffrksiei Hold Services at Hani roas Park.'

The song, "Rock of Ages," was then rendered by the Seymour camp male chorus, after which the ceremony of un veiling a monument over the Improvised grave of a member of the order on the stage was carried out by the degree teams. The funeral anthem. "My Jesus," was then sang by the Seymour chorus and Augusta K. Schmltt read an original poem written for this occasion. The address' of the afternoon was de livered by A. W, Jefferls. He said In part: "We meet here this beautiful June day In the very center of the forest of Wood craft as Woodmen of the World to pay our tribute of love and remembrance to our brother sovereigns who have crossed the valley and ahadow of death Into ever lasting life: Into Immortality. They who have passed onward and upward through the pearly gates, were noble men. Some of us are standing near the shore, more are yet In the noontide and many have only Just begun the voyage upon the great ocean of eternity. Could we but under stand the message from those now on that other shore I doubt not that It would be the admonition to persevere In brotherly love, assist in bearing one another's bur dens, comfort tae sorrowing and help the widow and orphan. Let us so live that when we are summoned to Join the In numerable caravan, that by an unfaltering faith approach thy grave, like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about hlm and lies down to pleasant dreams."

George 1 Ba brock, at one time assistant secretary of the Tour.g Men's Christian association In Omaha, now International aecretary of the association for tb repub lic ot Mexico, addressed the men's meeting In the Lyrle theater Sunday afternoon. His subject was "Mexico, the Egypt of the Western HemUphere." Mr. Babcock gave Forceful Sermon Preached to.Grada ates by President Wadsworth. President G. W. Wadsworth of Bellevue college delivered the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class at Bellevue Sunday morning at the regular services of the First Presbyterian church. The scriptures were read by Dean Sterenberg and prayer was offered by Vice President Hoyt. The hallelujah chorus waa sung by the college choral society. "What doth the. Lord require of thee, but to do Justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God?" waa the text of a forceful sermon on the topic of "The Requirement of Pure Religion." "At the time the prophet lived thf re ligion of Isrsel was purely formal. In justice was practiced, widows were robbed, and Judges received bribes. The offering of sacrifices waa about all the religion they had." , "To do Justly" was a topic In which Mr. Wadsworth spoke 'of Justice In good meas ures, on pure food and honest medicine. "Justice In wages. In work rendered and Justice In the courts; In other words, a square deal," was another theme of the sermon. "To love mercy: God delighteth in mercy and "he that showeth ,mercy with cheer fulness.' Mercy and klnduene are the things which make a man lovable. "To walk humbly with God: Humility must exist when a man has a proper con ception ot God. At the congress ot re ligion last Wednesday in Chicago the speakers tried to prove that God Is not' a 'being,' but a 'becoming,' or, In other words, an Imperfect God. Or, as a critic expresses It, 'He is a not-now-but-soon God.' How different the grand definition, 'God Is a spirit; Infinite, eternal and unchsngeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, Justice, goodness and truth.' With such a God it Is easy to walk with humility. "We should follow Him as children fol low loving parents. As Paul says to the Epheslans, 'Be followers of God aa dear children." We can walk with God la prayer and In Imitation, Just aa children ask fa vors of parents and try to Imitate their actions." , At the close of the sermon the graduat ing class rose and Dr. Wadsworth urged the members to live up to their require ments of pure religion, to be faithful unto death and then terrors of death would be removed, for perhaps their end will be like that of Enoch, of whom it waa aald, "He walked with God and waa not. for God took him."
