"Religion:" 1 Corinthians 1:22
"The Jews Require a Sign and Hie
Creeks Seek After Wisdom." H
spoke as follows.

"I come this morning at the Invita
tion of the Senior or graduating class
to 'deliver the baccalaureate sermon
1 fear, my young friends, that your
selection of the speaker lor tnis oe
cation Ml not been a choice one,
for with the little time given and
with the press of other matters 1 am
sure that 1 cannot do tne occasion
Justice, and yet I desire, If I may be
able, to draw a few lessons from
God's word that shall be an Inspira
tion and guide to you as you leave
this place of learning, this place that
has been lilled with many happy
moments as well as with many hours
of hard labor, to enter upon the per
plexing problems ot life as they will
confront you.
"I often find myself, as will you
looking back with delight upon the
Commencement week of my graduat
ing vear. and I know of nothing that
would give me greater pleasure at
tills season of this year than to be
able to return to my old Alma Mater
and there meet with my old class
mates as they assemble In class re
union In the old college halls and
sing the songs of years agone.
"I never meet a graduating class
but what recalls to my mind an in
cldent of a few years ago, when I had
the great pleasure of being enter
tained In a certain home In the far
East. After a few moments pleas
antly spent in company with my hos

entering the threshold of the room
she said, 'Brother, I am going to

daughter's, who Is now in heaven
The room is Just as she left It. The
pictures on the walls, the books on
the shelves, the chairs and the fur
niture are Just as they were when
she went away.' Then she stepped
across the room to an old-fashioned
bookcase, and, pointing through
glass door to a rolled parchment.

said: 'And there Is her diploma, lying

later we went with her over the hills
to the cemetery and laid her to rest
by the side of her father, and there
lies her unused diploma, which cost
her so much hard work and which
she was so glad to get,'
There are many people who are
ready to say that unless one is to be
lawyer or doctor or minister that
there is no need for an education.
There are many parents who will say
that 'since my boys are to be nier-
tiants or clerks or mechanics they
do not need an education, for they
can never make any use of it.' But,
my young friends, I want to say to
you this morning that there Is great
use in obtaining an education, and I
trust that you may not be satisfied
with what you have already attained
but that you may aspire to higher
things In the way of a literary edu
cation, for It is not whether it will
make you a greater money-getter or
not, but whether it wilt make you a
better and broader man or woman.
And now for a brief look at our
text that we may draw a lesson there
from that may help us over the
rough places of life, for indeed, re
ligion is one of the most important
subjecta that a young man or woman
can have their attention directed to.
"Corinth in thd days of Paul was
not the city It had once been. It was
not so famous as In the days of the
Peloponnesian war. Neither was it
so powerful. After the decline of
Sparta and Athens, Corinth had held
the hegemony of Greece and had
been at the head of the Achaean
League. But about a century and a
half prior to this time it had been
taken, its buildings burned, its
treasures rifled, and its inhabitants
put to the sword. For a hundred
years it lay in ruins. Julius Caesar
was passing by. He at once recog
nized the beauty and Importance of
the site, and, desiring to Immortalize
his name, and at the same time to
cail attention to his mythical descent
from Venus, who, under the Greek
name of Aphrodite, had been the
patron goddess of the city, he rebuilt
Corinth from its foundations and
having given it the name of Julia
Corlnthus, peopled It with veterans
and freedmen. Corinth at once as
sumed much of Its former dignity.
It became an Important commercial
center and pleasure resort. Jews
came in multitudes. Phoenecians,
Romans and Greeks came, some to
engage in business enterprises while
others came to avail themselves of
the Immorality for which the city
soon became infamous.
My young friends. In this age In
which we live the world is offering
us many substitutes for religion
There are a few of these that I wish
briefly to call your attention to.
1. Atheism. The atlilest denies
the existence of a Supreme Intelli
gence. How he can do this In the
face of the numerous evidences of
God's existence by which we are sur
rounded is to me a profound mys
tery. When .Aristoppus was on his
way to Corinth the ship on which he
sailed was wrecked on the Island of
Rhodes. On the sands of the Island
the founder of the Cyrenalc School
observed a geometrical figure. At
once he exclaimed, 'Peace! I gee the
footprints of men!' The existence of
this universe ib proot sumcieni ot
the existence of God, and insanely
foolish Is the man who even ques
tions the fact. The only reason why
men are atheists Is because they
shut their eyes and refuse to see
Coleridge has written:
The owlet. Atheism,
Sailing with obscene wings across the
moon
Drops his blue fringed lids and shuts
them close.
And, hooting at the glorious sun In
heaven.
Cries out, 'Where Is It?' '
"2. Agnosticism. The agnostic Is
not an atheist. He does not deny
the existence of a God. He does not
argue that the universe Is the result
of chance and that men are the vic
tims of blind fate. He simply says
that he does not know. There may
be a God but we do not know. There
may be an Inspired book called the
Bible but we do not know. We
must be satisfied to remain In Ignor
ance for there Is nothing better for
us. Of all the creeds that have been
accepted In the earth that of the
amioatic. next to that of the atheist.
Is the gloomiest. Ann as me unsnim-
factory character of the creed, and
I the gloomy forbodlngs with which
the agnostic approaches death let
the writings and last days of the
ereat Herbert Spencer bear witness.

"GARDEN SPOT OF COAST"
Bis Opinion ot Douglas Conalj-Son-commiltal
as to Rail
road Building,
That Douglas county Is the finest
section of country he had seen on
his Journey throrjh Oregon was the
expressed opinion of Louis W, Hill,
president of the Great Narthern Rail
road system, who spent Saturday
night and Sunday forenoon in Rose
burg and vicinity.
This Is certainly the garden snot
of the Pacific Coast," declared Mr.
Hill after viewing our fertile valleys,
fine orchards and unsurpassed seeu-
ery.
The Hill party was met at the
summit of Roberts hill, eight miles
south of this city, late Saturday af
ternoon, by a number of Roseburg
citizens who went out In automo
biles to welcome , the visitors, A
pfenie lunch was enjoyed on the
hilltop where a fine panoramic view
of the valleys north and south por
trayed some of the beauties of this
region. After a surfeit of banquets
enroute, this simple lunch beneath
the stately oaks made a decided hit
with the travelers. The party
reached town Just before eight o'
clock, Mr. Hill keeping up a rapid
Are of questions about the country
all the way la. The party was housed
at the Hotel McCIallen, but Mr, Hill
spent the night in his Bpeclal car
which had been sidetracked here.
This gave him time to attend to his
accumulated correspondence.
Sunday forenoon, accompanied by
several local citizens, the party made
side trips Into the country, going
east beyond DIxonvilie and west
through the Edenbower district.
Numerous photographs were taken
all alone the route and Mr. Hill
rapid Are battery of questions about
the country and lis resources, pro
ducts, land values, etc., continued
with unceasing action. Members of
the party remarked that Mr. Hill
showed a more decided Interest In
Douglas county than In any other
portion of Oregon which they had
visited.
During Mr. Hill's absence Sunday
forenoon a number of ladies decor
ated Mr. Hill's private car with roses
and vines until It was a literal bower
of beauty, both as to the interior and
the observation platform at the rear.
Great was Mr. Hill's surprise upon
his return and he pronounced the re
sult of their efforts as being one of
the finest he had ever seen. If any.
thing were needed to convince him
that this Is one of the real garden
spots of the world this certainly
clinched the argument. A fine sal
mon, weighing 32 pounds, fresh from
the river at Winchester, was brought
In by Grant Taylor and placed to Mr,
Hill's car. Mr. B. C. Leedy, chief
advertising manager for the Hii;
lines, remarked that In the line of
beautiful valleys, verdure clad hit
and charming scenery, he knew of
nothing in Italy that surpasses Doug
las county. While here he secured
a large number of photographs for
use in his publicity work.
At 1 p. m. the party left In the!
autos for Sutherlln, where luncheon
was served, and thence on to Eugene
that afternoon, their private ear be
ing taken to that city attached to the
local train.
Will Come Again.
While wholly non-committal as to
their Intentions as to railroad buna
Ine In this part of Oregon, Mr. HII
announced his Intention of returning
to Roseburg a few weeks hence and
going from here to Coos Bay. Thi
In Itself has special significance, since
he announced at Medford that the
Pacific & Eastern would not be ex-
tended west of Medford, nor would
It be built over the mountains to
connect with the Oregon Trunk line
THE NEW YORK STORE
at the present time. It Is therefore
deemed very probable that the Hill
lines will reach the coast direct from
Roseburg and connect here with the
Oregon Electric which Is being ex
tended south from Salem. That
would give them entrance to Coos
Bay entirely Independent of the 8. P.
Co. When this is done it will be an
easy matter to connect with the east
and west line across the state,
which Is to be built as soon as the
construction of the Oregon Trunk
One, from north to south, now well
under way, is completed. Is fact
there will be left a gap of only about
80 miles from Roseburg east and this
through' one of the largest and finest
timber areas In tne worm, ana
which will furnish a heavy traflta for
generations to come. Viewed in many
ways this visit of Mr. Hill and his
party, and his announced intention
to return here Just as soon as possi
ble. Is fraught with broad signifi
cance and forecasts a great and rapid
development of this section of Ore
gon.
