Noramulet was worn for its power of warding off evil. Nor has the fulness of truth come yet. We still have superstitions. But the amulet which I would hang on your memories, if not upon your heart, is the great truth which fell from the Divine Master's lips when he said "Verily he that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation." This eternal life comes not by dying, but by hearing and believing. But we might well ask what eternal life is, or first what is life? We are certain that we know what it is, yet who can define it? We place our hand over our heart and say "I live" and base all our work upon that belief. We can feel the pulses beating and experience the working of the brain. We feel the spiritual life within us ebbing and flowing, resistless in its force like the great ocean tide. And how can we describe all these movements except by the term life. It is upon this basis, however, and this alone that we can consider that fuller meaning given it by Christ.

Orophilian Anniversary. A large audience assembled in University Hall last Friday evening to listen to the anniversary exercises of the Orophillian Literary Society. After the invocation a euphonium solo was rendered by Mr. Wm. J. Bell. The next on the program was a declamation by J. H. Sawtell, on "Toussaint's Last Struggle for Hayti." An interesting oration was given by C. M. Sherer, on the subject "Separate the Races." The audience then listened to a solo by Miss Ia Williams. She received most hearty applause and was enclosed. Miss Florence Reasoner then read an essay on "Byronism," which showed great thought, and clear comprehension of the influences which actuated the great poet.
The next on the program was an oration by H. F.M.Bear, on the subject "Is it an Experiment?" He traced the history of our government, and the trials it has experienced. From our past experience, he drew the conclusion that the permanency and stability of our government is assured. His delivery was good, and his enunciation clear, and he was listened to with great interest.
A piano solo was then rendered by Miss Ida Burr, after which a very interesting debate was given on the subject: "Has Increased Wealth a Favorable Influence on Morals." The debaters were R. D. O'Leary on the affirmative, and J. G. Wine on the negative. After a Trombone solo by H. R. Gillman, the audience dispersed well pleased with the evening's exercises.
Baccalaureate Service.
The Chapel was filled to overflowing Sunday evening by those who came to hear Rev. A. H. Tuttle D. D., of Baltimore. Md., speak on "The Divine Life." The exercises were opened by the hymn "Come, Thou Almighty King," followed by prayer by Rev. Van Pelt. The choir, composed of Misses Hutchings and Brown, and Messrs. Riggs and Stevens, then rendered a most beautiful anthem. The scripture lesson of the evening was read by Dr. Cordley from I John V, after which the congregation united in singing "Nearer My God to Thee."
With a few well chosen remarks Chancellor Lippincott then introduced Rev. Tuttle who took for his text I John, V:24, "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
The sermon was directed mainly to the present outgoing classes.
In olden times, the Doctor said, an
In the Bible we have the meaning of life fully given but it is better to suggest it and let you think it out for yourself. The Saviour said to the young man "If thou wouldst merit eternal life keep the commandments," meaning by this not mere activity, but activity according to a divine law. Young people often think the moral law was imposed upon them simply as a needless restriction. They look upon it as depriving them of all the pleasures of life. But not so. It is given to shape the character more like the divine character. It is God's character stamped in rules. When the father saw the prodigal son returning he said, "This my son which was dead is alive again." He was dead in as far as he departed from his true relationship. So the spirit which departs from its true relationship with Christ is dead!
Character is the organ of vision. He who sees must have the inner qualifications. You who go out from these walls are more capable of appreciating the beauty and fullness of life than your less fortunate brother who lacks your culture. But if you neglect the spiritual qualities, the intellectual qualities can not make your enjoyment complete. Christ said "Blessed are the pure in heart." Purity of heart is being like God, and Christ is the ideal life.
The genesis of life has caused many serious questions. But life only comes from life. When did a living thing ever come out of anything dead? It is impossible. Nor
can one life come out of another. The lily does not bloom on bushes, nor do animals grow on trees. An oak grows from an acorn, and man is born of man. Nowhere can it be said with certainty that one species has sprung from another different species. As man is born of man so a son of God is born of God. He is regenerated. When man was created God breathed into him the breath of life, the Divine life. And it is this life that has blessed mankind. Trace the progress of religion and you trace the progress of civilization.
Eternal life is given to the good and evil alike. The one develops according to the natural rule of life, the other remains in perpetual childhood, which is another name for idiocy. You can read your destiny in your life. The plant is unconscious of the quality of its life but we are conscious of it and have the assurance that "He that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
The sermon was closely listened to and was delivered very forcibly.
