The Church, a Divine Institu
tion. An excerpt of a sermon delivered at
Ihe opening exercises of the new Sun
day school room of the Christian church.
Sunday, June 1st.
We are to think of the church in the
apostolic phrases as the pillar and ground
of the truth. It is a place of holy mem
ories to us, for we cannot forget those
who have entered into rest, and whose
labors made our present achievements
possible. We are not slow to write high
upon our records the names of those
who during the past year have given
time and substance to bring this build
ing to its present slate of completeness,
and we do well when we do; but we can
not forget those who having lived their
little day in the fear of God have been
gathered to their fathers, and now sleep
beneath their tents of turf. They have
passed out of our sight; we are slow to
believe that we have passed out of theirs.
We know something of their employ
ments now; they surely know much of
ours. The great host who live just be
yond the cloud may be much nearer to
us than we think; and it is not idle to
indulge the fancy that they are interest
ed spectators of our happiness today.
The spiritual world touches us on every
side. And to the pioneers we give our
word of appreciation as we think of
their sacrifices and their toils, their
prayers and their tears. They laid the
foundation, and we have builded there
upon. In fifty years the people whom we
have the honor to represent have made
wonderful progress When Garfield, one
of our preachers and a college president,
was elected, we numbered scarce half a
million. Today we number a million
and a half. At that time we had not
many church buildings that were worthy
of mention. Today we are erecting
buildings that cost thousands of dollars,
and we have a few that lake rank with
some of the finest in the architecture of
the country. In that period we had few
missionaries and small missionary rev
enues. Today our missionaries are in
almost every land, and the receipts run
into the millions. We even have our
martyrs in many lands. We have made
history wonderfully fast. We are add
ing our contribution to it today. From
the Bible school of the fifties with a few
teachers and twenty or thirty pupils, we
passed to one with twenty teachers and
an enrollment of over 3u0. Our mem
bership has grown year after year. The
congregation supports two missionaries,
and is making a line record for its bene
volent and missionary work. Us finan
cial system of current expenses is one of
the best to be found any where. And yet
we feel that our work is just beginning;
we have ascended the mountain side,
and have caught a vision of the fields
white unto the harvest.
It is an inspiration for us to think to
day that we are part of the church uni
versal, of that great company in all
lands and in all time, who have by the
devotion of their lives made the world
glorious. The mute inglorious Miltons,
the world over, in quiet and obscure
parishes, the mighty Miltons who thun
dered against oppression, and lived their
lives humbly and fearlessly are part of
the company with whom we are today
in closest fellowship. We think of the
labors ef Dr. Duff in India, of Paton in
South Seas, of Judson and Carey, of
Livingstone in Africa, and we thank
God for the courage and fidelity of their
lives and which have been bequeated to
us; and fervently do we recall the great
ministry of such men as Jeremy Taylor,
of Ilooker, of Stanley, of Farrar in Eng
land; and in America of Storrs,'of Beech
er, of Brooks, of Broaddus, and the
present day preachers who are extend
ing the boundaries of the Kingdom
Their triumphs are our. own, though we
may differ in the forms and the externals
of our worship.
And now that we begin these services
in this place, may our hearts be set on
the best things. Let us realize more
than ever the burdens that are laid upon
us. The church must have a voice to
warn and encourage, and as well hands
and feet to do. We must minister to the
needy, care lor the children, instruct
the ignorant, and bear the loads' of those
who cannot well bear their own alone.
Thus in the name of the Lord we shall
set up our banners.
Dr. Claxton at Eastern
The State Normal School, familiarly
known as "Eastern," will have a com
mencement feature that will attract
great attention throughout the State
The annual exercises for the class of
1913 will have for the orator of the oc

tional event will take place the morn
ing of June 13th and the authorities are
preparing to make the day memorable.
Probibly no other institution in the
Stale will have so great an educator for
a speaker. The entire Normal com
munity is alive to this large opportunity.
Other sessions for this day are a busi
ness meeting of 'the alumni reception
and banquet at night. Special prepara
tions have been made to make this
alumni gathering the greatest in Eas
tern's history. -
Commencement week proper begins
next Sunday evening, June the eighth,
when the Reverend Dr. QuUenberry,
Pastor of the First Baptist church of
Richmond, will deliver the annual com
mencement sermon. Dr. Quisenberry,
a new-comer to richmond, is a college
ex-president and has held a number of
important pastorates. He is a speaker
of great ability. As usual added musical
features will be presented at this ses
sion. Monday, June 0th, is Class and Field
Day. Appropriate athletic and social
features will be forth-coming. The re
ception for the Juniors and Seniors of

the State Normal) will occur the even
ing of the 9th.
Tuesday, the 10th, the presentation of
Elementary Certificates will take place
in the Auditorium. During the evening

This feature will take place both in the
Auditorium and on the Campus and
will occupy most of Thursday forenoon.
The President's Reception and Prom
enade Concert will be given this year on
the Campus. President and Mrs. Crabbe,

Not a Knocker, But A. K. T.
. Knocks All The Same.
Editor of Climax;
I do not desire or intend
to constitute myself either a "knocker
or a "censor" of our city, but as an old
"residenter," there are a number of se
rious troubles that even a blind man
could not fail to see. For years our
town and county have been distinguish
ed abroad for both the culture of its cit
izenship as well as their material pros
Berity. These two splendid blessings
have not brought about co-operation and
unanimity in regard to public air airs
and progress among our citizens, but
just the reverse.
The prevailing spirit rather is "to let
every man take care of himself and the
devil take the hindmost." This lack of
co-operation crops out in many ways, i.
e. the Commercial Club. Many such
organizations have been started, each
has lived peacefully and died contented.
Vet it is impossible to estimate the oen
efits accruing to a town from an organi
zation of this kind with 400 or 500 mem
bers. A year ago when a new contract
was made by the city with the Water &.
Light Co., it should have been referred
to such a club by the city council, in
stead of to a committee of private citi
zens who had little weight because of
their number. A live commercial club
could have put over with ease the Chau
tauqua movement inaugurated here a
week or so ago, which took some time
and considerable trouble to bring to us
again. This is one of the greatest at
tractions our people have ever enjoyed,
beingboth wholesome and instructive.
It is both an annoyance and labor when
the burden falls on the shoulders of half
a dozen men. It would be nothing to a
club such as I have suggested.
Such a club will be of vital help in
getting reduction of the electric light
charges, which are twice as high as they
are in Nicholasville, and about three
times those in other towns to the priv
ate consumer. Such a club ought to be
able to secure better incoming and out
going freight rates, which other towns
have done, and certainly better depot
accommodations, which are discredita
ble to both city and railroad. A splen
did club makes business in all lines. Our
lawyers, doctors, bank presidents and
very few of our leading merchants take
any interest in the club, which a few
younger men have been struggling to
keep going.
A few months ago, a young gentleman
who had formerly resided here was on
a visit. One day he remarked, "This is
t'ie most remarkable town I have ever
known." All listened for the conclu
sion, and it was: "It is finished !" And
while I do not agree with this statement
in toto.here are strong evidences that
it has a semblance of truth. The trou
ble wiih us is we are too well satisfied
with our condiiions. Eerybody is per
fectly willing for anybody else to put on
any schemes for either amusement or
progress, but do not wish to be annoyed
themselves.
In concluding this article I cannot al
together acquit our ci'y papers. They
are like our people, very conservative,
very much afraid that they will hurt
some one's feelings or lose a customer,
I cannot tell which.
Let's all turn over a new page and
start fresh. A. K. T.
