GRADUATES LOCAL H SCHOOL HEAR MOST HI LECTURE Declaring the real end of life to be service, Rev. E. W. Warrington of Freewater, last evening spoke' to the graduating class of the Pendleton high school, preaching the annual baccalaureate sermon. He took as his subject, "The Young Joseph Facing Life," drawing a parallel between the Biblical character going forth to meet the stern realities and the students Just ready to go out into the world after 'completing their course In the schools. It was an Interesting and Inspiring sermon and the large audi ence as well as the graduates gave It attention absolutely from first to last. The speaker emphasised particular, ly the point that it Is possible for ev ery person to rise above the clrcum stunces of his or her environment and he pointed to Abraham Lincoln as a striking Illustration. But, he went on to say, no matter what the special talent or specliil training of the person, failure was inevitable In the end unless purity of heart was maintained. Illustrating this he told of a, giant oak tree that stood in the lard of his old home. It Withstood the blasts of fierce storms, he said, long as Its heart was sound but fell with a crash In a very light storm when Its heart became rotten and worm-eaten. In conclusion, tha speaker laid stress upon the fact that the greatest craving of man Is religion and, he said, we are reaching the goal of our life onlv Insofar as we cultivate a friendship with the Almighty.
