"Behold I have net ln-fore yon an ojien
door, and no mini can shut it." Thus spake
of olil, and tlniH speaks to day the spirit of
Infinite Iiiive and Wisdom. To universal ku
mauicy thin voice calls, "Unto you, 0 men, I
call, and my vou-is is to the Hons of men."
And what is that to which window calls? Is
it an alwoltitu possession something fixed
and tin iHiittl' No: it ib an "open door, an
opportunity, a p. nubility.
And what in the moaning of the word by
which we describe this closing scene in the
long stru gle of school life, the word "Com
tnououment?" lu origin, as thus applied, 1
do not know, hut it implication seems to
me very ilain. Here the preparation ends
and life begins real life. Here the help
and the guides and the restraints of school
life are taken from us and we "commence'
to go alone. o more crutches to help you
walk no more outward restraints to keep
you from evil no more fixed forms to shape
and mould your lives, but self reliance new
and independent action. The bolts arc
drawn, ti e barn are removed, the door is
open, freedom is yours; the world is all be
fore you wheroiii to cbixmc, to will, 1 i do.
The ojKiiiiiiK of this door is not inward to
ward privilege and rest, but outward to
wards lilierty and work, outward upon a
world full of variuty, beauty, hojie and
promise.
It us guw for a moment along life s van
on humanity which the gross and selfish do
not see, or seeing, always slight. No mind
can be said to have reached the higher cul
ture until through experience it can nay, "It
is more Mossed to give than to receive."
After all, the real opportunities of life,
the open doors to le most watched for and
prized, are those which make possible an ex
tended and a varied heart culture a growth
into a higher manhood and womanhood a
progress out of the selfish, out of the gross
and material, out of the ideal even into a
strong and absorbing realization of the spir
itual, and evergrowing and comfortingsense
of the rual presence of those things which
are unseen and yet eternal.
Le t the loading thought of the present
hour, as suggested by the circumstances
which surround you, lie progress. This is
not the end, but the beginning. And what
is progress? fan that life be called progres
sive, which halts amid temporal things, which
plods round in the narrow circle of alternat
ing cares and amusements, with no thought
beyond the range of the senses and no
higher promptings than the behests of ap
petite? Or can that be called a progressive
life which, becoming weary of this unsatis
fying grnwmess, takes refugain the ideal and
pictures to itself a dream world full of the
oretic purity and classic lieautyj but holding
not the warm life of reality and having no
j promise of fulfillment? Is not that the truly
I progressive life which discardsthecarpingno-
' tion that our poor senses are cognizant
I of all that is real in this great universe, and
i foes forward to find its final refuge and its
fir nest trust in the possession of a hope that
I is independent of success or defeat in any
i temporal warfare? Such a life will win its
in the wilder-
fall and whose names Jicriali
Deso.
If we now pass in brief renew the oppor
tunities of life we shall find them suited to
aQ the varying g ade of taste and talent.
We may find them in the lines of business or
trade, where tact, industry and honest pur
pone will always find open doom. We may
finrl them in what we call the learned pro
fessions, no one of which is full except in its
basement story. Of dullness and mediocrity
there is cnongh everywhere.
We may find them in the great field of
nature whose open doors everywhere in
vito us. We are moving on through a world
full of eloquence and beauty. We should
trv to learn that "various lanpuace" in
which the universal nature, of which we
are part is, forever greeting us. There U no
leal or flower, there is no bird or tree, there
ia no stream or mountain, there is no quiet
landncaie or drifting summer cloud, but has
for us a lesson, a story, a poem, a simile, a
great flood of eloquence, if only one's eyes
and hearts and ears are open to receive it.
And we must not forget the open doors
that may be found along the projected lines
of those very studies we suppose onrselves
to be bow leaving. The glowing beauty of
the classics, and the practical value of the
ctenees of the eebool, which have but be
rna to dasra upon us here, will bring their
full floods of noonday tight hereafter, either
as fountains of illustrations or as practical
kelps. When we come to work actively at
life' intricate problem we shall find ample
sum fur every rule that our logic, our geom
tery and our calculus have taught us here.
When we fall into those controversies
which sometimes clear but often binder truth,
we shall realise the real evils of that "de
structive wrath," ever ready to create di
visions among men, which led Achilles and
Agamenuon to "stand apart," and has
brought "myriad diseases" on others be
sides the Greeks. And when we come to
join in the great battle for truth, temerance
and religion, and see how the forces of evil
magnify themselves, we shall begin to re
alise the defiant strength and fury of those
giants that "pile Pelio upon Ossa" in their
insane war against heaven, and when we
come in contact with all the harshness, cru
elty and bitterness of life, and learn how
much the accursed thirst of gold rules men
and drives them to very madness, then we
shall know with what bitterness of feeling
Virgil exclaimed: "Quod non mortolia pec
tora cogia, auri, sacra fames !'
So sha!l all the stores gathered in our
school days find place for application as life
proeeedii; and it is only in their application
that their fullest and truest moauings can be
revealed to us. And I hope no graduate of
this school will ever place so low an esti
mate on life as to regardll it opportunities
in a mere eommercial light. The
truly cultivated mind will find outlets
for its activities in other channels thou those
which minister to self. It will not' weigh
all things in a commercial balance and esti
mate their valre in dollars and ceuts. It will
realize that tiie lowest meaning of the word
success is it commercial meaning. Such a
mind will be prepared for open doors in the
line of humanities in other words, for op
portunities to do good. It will not only believe
that the "noblest study of mankind is man,
but it will realize that the noblest work of
art, the noblest efforts of literature, the no
blest enterprises of whatever grade or kind,
are those wfiich benefit the race.
Believing this, no truly exalted miud will
be willing to lose itself in the low motives
ous pathways w ith this thought fixe 1 deeply ri'Aest victories on those very fields where a
in our hearts; life awaits us simply with ! life that is ruled by the time-serving creeds
offered opportunities, which if we accept and ' and narrow philosophies of a gross material
use we shall enter the land of promise; b it ism must suffer irretrievable defeat That is
which, if we neglect or abuse we shall po ? a dull eye which sees no stirring grandeur in
with that unwritten multitude whose bodies i a storm, no modest beauty in a violet, no
massive grandeur in the snow-crowned mon
arch of the mountains, no startling splendor
in the golden fringed cloud that curtains the
sunset. Hut that is a duller eye which takes
no hed to the doors that open Heavenward
and God ward through the Me and teachings
of the Redeemer.the leadings of Providence,
the suggestions of experience, the manifold
ministries of religion, and the golden
promises .that encourage a life of prayer.
Remember, now, my young friends, where
the burden lies. Remember that it is thin
day shifted measurably from other shoulders
to your own. Remember with feelings o'
gratitude what others have done for you and
with feelings of responsibility what you
must now do for yourselves, what the
world offers to you to-day, what parents and
sympathizing friends have helped you to
reach, what this University has led you to,
is simply an opportunity. And all that the
spirit of Infinite Love and Wisdom, standing
at the door of everlasting life, can say to yon
is simply thiai- "Behold I have set before you
an open door!"

Last night, about 10 o'clock, the fire-bell
rang out suddenly and sharply, arrousing
from the almost midnight slumber the citi-
sens of our city. It was soon known that
the Tehon" Machine Shops were on fire.
Hundreds rushed to the spot. All the Fire
Companies were on hand) but too late to be
of any service, inasmuch as the fire had al
ready done its work so effectually that it
w as useless, any attempt to put it out.
The loss will fall heavily on the Com
pany. J heir interests are those oi aaiem,
and another industry is crushed for the
season, at least.
Our citizens who have the means should
rally at once in aid of rebuilding and aiding
otherwise this "home industry" in again get
ting under way. We have no means of es
timating the loss but it is undoubtedly
heavy. Quite a number of unfinished ma
chines were saved.
The fire is supposed to have caught from
the engine, although the fire for making
steam was put out about 6 o'clock. Fire
men and citizens did everything possible to
save property. Some other buildings were
endangered, but bv the exertion of the
Firemen were saved.

Albany, through their Committee, extend
to the citizens f Salem a cordial invitation
to join in a celebration of the coming 4th in
that city. The spirit that prompts this in
vitation, should find a response of like char

celebration, and Albany will be a nice place
to go to. We have assurance that our Al
bany friends are wide awake in this matter,
and propose making it interesting for all
visitors.

Tho graduating exercises of the literary
class of "77," at the Willamette Univer
sity, on Thursday last, was the grand cul
mination of a series of incidentals laid down
in the programme for Commencement Week.
The largo expectant throng tilled every avail
able niche of tho Chapel of the University,
anticipating the intell 'inl fnast in store
for them. Cool, "calm ou.i collected,"
seated in close proximity to President
Gatch, wore the immortal "seventeen" can
didates for honors, that are only dispensed
to the deserving by the Willamette Univer
sity. Weimatnne only the "palpitations"
and flutUni.0.. iiv.faging their utterances,
as with eonmressecl Hps mis more man
Spartan band quietly met the studied gaze
of that vast assemblage without the slightest
faltering. First on the list for review,
nmed bv Prof. Catch, was Mr. G. A. Pee
bles, whose manners were easy, and address
pleasant. His subject, "Charles Sumner,"
was well calculated to develop the oratory of
the young man, as he dwelt on the peculiar
characteristics, as plainly delineated in the
outline drawn of the celebrated American. '
Nettie A. Cooke a modest miss read
her essay, entitled "Things that Cost Noth
ing " in a clear and distinct tone, and her
D'
manner just a little timid showed a due
appreciation of her surroundings. Her
essay read well.
Miss Nora Ross, next on the list, gave us
what Bhe knew about "Shrines." Her essay
indicated care in thi preparation, aud was lis
tened to with a mode -aie degree of interest.
Miss Anna Laurence, in the "Last Leaf,'
cave us some thoughts suggestive of the
"lsiok of life." Her manner was pleasant.
Frank Irvine chose "The South," and
gave a sketch, outlining the history of the
"great rebellion."' The young man's man
ner was cool and self-possessed, his elecu
tionary powers found full scope in the sub
ject chosen and his rendition was a marked
success.
An essay, by Miss Emina Jones, on
"Wire," was read in a tone of voice not
very distinctly heard in all parts of the
hall, hut the subjeet was strictly practical,
and when the young lady goes out on a lec
turing tour, her best friends will suggest
that she train her voice in a higher key.
"Tidal Waves," by Miss Nellie Meacham,
w as a subject well calculated to display the
great versatility of talent possessed by the
young lady. Her training was evident, in
addition to her natural powers. Her man
ners, at once striking and impressive, lost
nothing on exhibition, and her literary ef
fort was a marked success.
Life and character of "Gen. Custer" found
an able delineator at the hands of Qnincy A.
Gruhbe. His language and easy deport
ment on the stage was without fault, and
his expression at once impassioned and eh
quent
"Golden Sands was the subject chosen
by Miss Sarelia A. Griffith for a display of
natural talent, of no mean order. The
young lady was entirely self-possessed, her
gestures giving full weight to the thought
involved, and her "self poised fully dem
onstrating the reserved powers, that needed
but the bidding to come to her aid if she
Deeded anything else to render her effort
pleasing and effective.
Babel Mandeb," an essay by Miss Ida
Button, was read m a very pleasant man-

ner, ana u ner voice nau ueeu utuc
stronger her thoughts and recital would
have been more impressive.
"Plant Life," by Miss Hattie L. Collier,
an essay at once pleasing and entertaining.
Her manner easy and indicative of self-reli
ance. Her essay was well written, as to
construction of language.
"The Good Time Coining," by R. J. Nich
oils, was one of his happiest efforts, as
touching his oratorical powers, and his
thoughts were clothed in very expressive
m.rb. niacins him in the front rank of
graduates.
"An Unseen World was the subject by
Frank M. McCully, for the development of
the latent powers of the young man.
His language was well chosen, and aside
from a little diffidence manifested, as he
met the "full gaze" his effort was well reu-
lered. Time will wear off that timidity
and bashfulness. Frank has ability uu
questioned. 1
"Building was the subject chosen by
Miss Ada E. May for her essay, and the
young lady gave some beautiful thoughts as
typical of her building. Her manner was
cool as an iceberg, nothing daunted; she ;
gave utterance to some elegant word paint
ing in clear and distinct enunciation. -"Life
Music," by Miss Bertha Moores,
found personification as the young Miss
gave utterance to her thoughts in language,
faultless as to diction. Her manner was
leasing and earnest, and subject well cho
sen. "drifting," by Miss Althea Moores, was
replete witli sound, practical reasoning, the
thought.! practical, and her gestures and in
tonation of voice came within the line of
perfection.
"Corruption Wins not More than Hon
esty," by Thomas CV Jory, was "last but
not least" in point of excellence and real
worth. The young man shows himself a
student in the strictest sense, aad is des
tined to take high rank in whatever profes
sion he may choose.
Prof. Catch was evidently very proud of
thix claw, and justly (to, as another laurel in
the crown of adorning of the W'UUun-U
