In Finals Sermon
Davidson College President Points Clear Way to Service
for High School Graduates in Sermon at Metho
dist Church; Students Furnish AH Music
A clear way to service was pointed
to the 75 members of the graduating
class of Henderson high- school by
Dr. Walter L. Lingle, president of
Davidson College, in the baccalaureate
sermon delivered Sunday morning at
the First Methodist church. “The Pro
blem of Life's Investment" was Dr.
Lingle's subject, and he admonished
service, great or small, by the will of
God. which he said depended on u
willingness to accept God's will.
The church auditorium «nd balcony
were filled to capacity as parents, re
latives and friends crowded in for this
fjrst event of Ihe three-day com
mencement program, which continues
tomorrow with the Class Day exer
cises and ends Tuesday morning with
the graduating program and the pre
sentation of diplomas.
High school musical organizations
furnished the entire musical program
ft.tr the flay at the baccalaureate serv
tpe Sunday morning. The orchestra
And the mixed chorus had several
uufriers scattered through the order
of services. Paul Patterson, high
school youth, played “The Rosary’ ••
a violin solo. Mrs. I*3. I*\ Shaw, regular
organist of the church, was at the
organ throughout.
The organ and the orchestra joined
in the processional. “The Son of God
Goes Forth to War." hy Cutler, fol
lowed by an orchestra number, "The
•Son." by Richard S. Willis. Then the
congregation joined in this only hymn.
Rev. L. R. Medlin, pastor of the First
Methodist Protestant church, led in
both prayers and read the Scripture
from Act 26:12.19. The mixed corns
sang. 'Thee ‘Lord Is My Light" Oley
•Speaks, with Miss Ftrtel Miller and
ISllard Yow having solo parts. After
the sermon, the mixed chorus sang,
"Send Out Thy Light," by Gounod,
and Dr. Lingle pronounced the bene
diction. The recessional was played by
the orchestra and the organ, the num
bei being "Creation," by Haydn.
The graduating class matched in
from a side door to the left of the
pulpit, followed hv the high school
faculty and members of the city
hoard of school trustees. W. B. Har
rison. who has trained the choruses
during the year, assisted by Miss
Maxine Taylor, of the high school fa
culty. directed the mixed chorus in itr>
numbers. Prof. Miller was in charge
of the violin orchestra. Superintendent
E. M. Rollins presided.
Dr. Lingle’s text was in Acts 13:36:
"For David, aftei he had served his
own generation by the will of God. fell
on sleep, and,was laid unto his fath
ers. and saw corruption."
The minister-educator .paraphrased
the status 01 the high school grad
uate. "Here I stand,”, said he. "an
immortal soul. Ft/.city stretches out
before me with ah Its possibilities. I
shall not pass this way agaltt. How
ran I so invest my life an to make it
count for the most?"
He found the guiding in
tbe reference to David in r.lie tetx. He
pointed to service. That was the way
Jesus took. And he. served in both tire
great and the humble things. He
quoted the great Gladstone's deelata
tion that "the greatest service one
human can render toward another is
to lead Irim to Jesus Christ." The
preacher liked Hie epitaph on the
tombstone at tire grave in Columbia,
S. <*., of Dr. Joseph Ft. Wilson, father
of President Wilson. "He was a lover
and a servant of bis fellowman and
of iris God." He bad heard it said the
immortal President wrote that legend
for the slat). i

l mended to the graduates. There is
such a. thing as willful service. David
look God's way because it was the
large way, as God's way always is.
"How may I know the will of God
for my life?" asked Dr. Lingle, and
answered, "The hest way is to ask
Him. You must think in big terms.
John Wesley said, ‘The world is my
parish.' And the word and the will of
God may come to us through parents
or friends."
Much, said the preacher, depends on
whether one is‘ready to accept God’s
will and to lay his life on God’s altar
of service.
'“On occasions such as this.” the
educator assured his young audience,
"the call comes from heaven to give
your life for God’s service. Give your
young life tefoie it is broken scarred
and lay it on (he altar for God. It will
not be so hard to do 'if you will find
God's will and do it."*
AROUND HALF OF
TOBACCO PLANTED
j
Some Growers Waiting for
More Showers Before
Sticking Plants
Sotn*' estimates are that about half
of the 1935 tobacco crop in Vance
county has been set in Ihe fields and
is ready for the growing season. Fa
vorable woatbei for two weeks now
will see probably Hie main portion of
Ihe crop in the ground.
Scattered tains have been exppr.
ieneed in this section during the past
week, but some growers have not bad
sufficient moisture during that pe
riod to get along with th*» transplant
ing job as ra.pidly as they had hoped
and expected. They are waiting for
much-needed showers before sticking
Ihe. rest of their crop.
There is an abundance of plants,
most seedbeds having come through
the cold and wet weather period of
ibe early spring without serious dam
age from insects or plant diseases, so
that there is no complaint alb out any
shortage of plants, even though this
year'.’, crop will be 15 percent larger
than last .vein, under (be allocation
of acreage otdeied by tbe Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration.
Though much of the acreage in this
-notion is yet to be planted, there is
no alarm because of the slight, delay.
Tobacco set any time in May will have
abundant time in which to mature if
weather conditions thereafter are fa
vorable t.o its growth.

DR. CI®THAT
/ED VANCE FINALS
First Event of Commence
ment Held at School
on Sunday Morning
Commencement exercises of the Zeb
Vance high school were begun on
Sunday morning. May 19. with the
baccalaureate sermon preached hy Dr.
J. M. Culhreth, of the First Methodist
chinch of Henderson.
T!.e large auditorium was comfort
h‘ t '!v filled. The stage had been made
beautiful with its decorations of floor
baskets of spring flower*, the color
scheme being of green and white.
The school glee club accompanied
at Hie piano by Miss Helen Kimball,
rendered "Lead On. O King Eternal,"
as Hie processional. The chief ushers
were Miss Elizabeth Young and Ike
Remi. Jr., John Marshall Barnes and
Geraldine Moss, in dimutive cap and
gown led the way for the senior class
of sixteen members.
Invocation was made by B. B. Wood
lief, of Kittrell, chairman of the local
school board. After the singing of
"Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty" by
the conglegation, the. Scripture lesson
from Revelation was read hy the
principal of the school. Prof. C. A.
Dees.
The Anthem. "Rejoice in the Lord,"
was sung hy the glee club, folowing
which Dr. Culhreth was presented by
B. B. Woodlief.
The theme of Dr. Culhreth*s mas
terly message to the senior class and
to the splendid congregation was
"Making A New World,” using Rev.
21:1 as the text. In challenging fash
ion, he showed the young people of
the class how this world of ours was
literally being made anew, urging
them to take, their full share in its
continued creation. He; pointed out
three creative ideas and ideals that
might well thrill their souls as they
do their pa>t in making them come
1 1 lie.
First, the h*oyl that there shall be. a
new world iii- while peace, will become
a habit in all international relations.
He said, that, while ill 19i4-’ 18. every
body pronounced a blessing on war.
priest, preacher, educator, religious
leaflets, leading in the benediction,
there is growing now as decided a
spirit against war and its deprada
tionfc. He urged the- young people to
make sure, they added each a stone
to t.be Temple of Peace.
A second new ideal in the making
is the growing, crystalizing sentiment,
in regard to the more equable distri
butive of wealth. The thought of
wealth as a trust was brought, home
and plea was made that we. learn
• tint wealth is not Tor selfish use .but
there should c«nie in this new earth
being create*! *» sense of trusteeship,
and sharing .■>.* that the great tin
equalities of wealth and of poverty G
corrected by proper distribution of
opportunity.
The third creative ideal was that
of Brotherhood. The thought, of
brotherhood in its broadest meaning
was urged upon the young people—
they were asked to undertake hard
task of bringing about the applica
tion of Christ’s high principles in the
emancipation of all peoples every,
where, stressing that the power be
hind all this new r.reation was Jesus
Christ. In a ringing challenge the,
preacher bade the young graduates
to go out to help in this creative
work, remembering Jesus’ last words
to his disciples, “i>o. L am with you
always, even to the end of the world.”
Following the sermon, a duet "The
Lord Is My .Shepherd” was sung by
Mrs. M. C. Miles, of Henderson, and
Miss- Helen Kimball. Miss Mildred
Murrell, accompanying, after whicn
Dr. Culhreth pronounced the benedic
tion.—Reported. i

Work Starts
In Paving Os
No, Garnett
Trees Cut Down On
West Side To Make
Place for Widening
of the Street
Work began today in the prepara
tions for the re-paving of North Gar
nett street, from the Andrews avenue
crowsing to the city limits, and will be
pushed on to conclusion as rapidly as
possible.
The first, job in hand was the cut
ting down of a large number of trees
between the edge of the paved side
walk and the gutter so as to matte
way for the widening of tbe street.
Tbe street surface iis to Dc extended
westward a distance of as much as
three feet in some place*. In others
the widening will be very little.
It is understood the steam shovel
.will arrive about Wednesday of this
week and will be put to work in ex
cavation for the foundation! of the
street.
Contract for the job was recently
let. hy the State Highway and Public
Works Commission for something in.
excess of $22,000. It is financed with
Federal road funds, due to the fact
that the street is part of the route
through the city of the national high
way! known as U. S. Route l. which
was paved last year with Federal
funds from the Granite street cross
ing in the southern extremity of the
city a.s far north as Andrews avenue,
where the new job is to begin. Last
year’s work carried the, re.paving
through the business section of the
city.
Traffic was being slowed down to
day in passing through that portion
of the street where the trees were be
ing cut down. A detour of several
•''locks will have to he provided when
the tearing up of the old pavement i.?
started, probably by the middle of this
week, if the weather permits.
