pThe commencement exercises of
the Sylva High School were opened
Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock
There was a large arid representa
tive crowd of people from all parts
Of the county, who had gathered to
hear that distinguished and beloved
Son of Jackson, Dr. Caleb A. Ridley
of Atlanta.
The first feature of the program
was a quartet by Mrs. Geo. P. Miller,
Miss Lucy Luck, Rev. J. J. Gray and
Mr. Ben H. Cathey, Jr. The invo
cation was pronounced by Rev.
Thad Deitz, of Bryson City. Then
another quartet, "The Lord is My
Shepherd."
The speaker was introduced by
Hon. James H. Cathey.
Dr. Ridley delivered a most won
derful sermon on "The Many-sided
Man of Galilee." Every one in the
large congregation was transfixed
and held spell-bound by the power
of his eloquence as he beautifully
pictured the -''Many-sided Man of
Galilee" in his application to the
Several phases of human life. The
sermon was intermixed with home
ly illustrations, so simple that the
smallest child could understand and
yet so powerful as to bring the
tears to the eyes of the strong man;
for Dr. Ridley, being a child of the
mountains and of nature, has "a
little touch of nature that makes
the whole world kin." He is able
to understand the feelings and
thoughts of the human mind and
heart by being in touch with Nature
and her Author, ' "The Many-sided
Man of Galilee."
He showed how Christ is supreme
in the home and through its agency
draws men to Him. His tribute to
home was perfectly beautiful; and
he told of his home among the
mountains of Jackson county. He
proved how Jesus is supreme in
the intellectual world and the mind
cannot be at its best without the
Christ. He told of how the Savior
is King of the moral kingdom and
then of the Nazarene as Ruler of
th spiritual, of. how the question
if Job "If a man die shall he live
again?" has come ringing down the
ages, that neither science, philoso
phy nor law vith all their power
and majesty is able to answer, and
how it is answered finally and un
hesitatingly in the affirmative by
Oie "Many-sided Man of Galilee."
The exercises of the first and
second grades were held at 3 o'clock
m the afternoon. The teachers of
these grades, Misses Inez Cathey
.and Inez WeaveV, had arranged a
most interesting program. The
little tots were well trained and de
lighted the audience

ereign of the year," the "May-pole
Dance," the ''Japanese Drill" the

ey. Prof. David H. Brown presented
these two medals and one to Mary
Willie Wells, won bv her in the con
test in composition.
The next feature was the excepnt
annual address by, Prof. N. P. Walk
er, of Chapel Hill.
In the afternoon the people enjoy
ed hearing TV. Ridley again, at 3:
o'clock he delivered a lecture.
From the opportunity our people
had of hearing Dr. Ridley in both
capacities, it is vard ro decide
whether he is at his best on the
stage or as a pulpit orator, for he is
master of both.
The final entertainment was
given Wednesday night by the
pupils of the higher grades under
the direction of Mr. Hampton and
Mrs. Miller. After a talk, to the
patrons of the school and the pupils
by Mr. Hampton, an interesting pro
gram was rendered, the main feat
ures of whhh were "The marriage
of prince Flutterbee" The Panta
mine "Old Folks at Home" several
recitations, "The Young Debaters"
and a splendid music program.
