NO SHORT CUTS TO SUCCESS Rev. Moore's Baccalaureate Sermon Draws Large Congregation to Presbyterian Church—Grads Hear Sound Doctrine and Good Advice Rev. Moore delivered the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class of the high school at the Presbyterian church on Sunday evening. A large congregation was present, and the speaker rose to the occasion by preaching one of the best sermons ever heard in the church. The text was Proverbs 21:23, "Keep sound wisdom and discretion; then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble." The speaker said, "The completion of a High School course is the winning of a goal, and when reached, it is a starting point. It may be that some of you may, and I trust all of you will, enter one of the colleges or universities this coming year, and that you will select one under the leadership of some church; for education, to be complete, must be of the whole man—physical, intellectual, spiritual. An educational scheme that neglects any of these ele-understanding, in all thy waits, ledge Him, and He shall paths. "Before closing I should just a word in regard to those of your higher self. Please the idea, here and now, the learn and all you get is for but instead, get the noble which must give you the pulse of which your being that all you learn and all your fellow-men. When thought takes hold upon your gins to work out its high life, you will be useful and in the sight of God great; you are sure to be in you will always live in the heart of those whom you have If, on the other hand, you to bind you in the shackle ness, you may surround your wealth and fame, but your soul and you will be that makes life rich for Godlity. "In conclusion, permit that the wisdom referred to the high principle, which God each member of the class young man and young woman would adopt as your motto and that is to serve God Help man most. This accomplished when you receive individual responsibility to it will prove to be more The speaker said. "The completion of a High School course is the winning of a goal, and when reached, it is a starting point. It may be that some of you may, and I trust all of you will, enter one of the colleges or universities this coming year, and that you will select one under the leadership of some church; for education, to be complete, must be of the whole man—physical, intellectual, spiritual. An educational scheme that neglects any of these elements is imperfect and may easily become dangerous. To you fathers and mothers, let me say that a Christian education is not, first of all, a matter of schools; NO, it is a matter of homes and Churches, which shall see to it that always in the study of past events, of present natural phenomena, of processes neutral, mathematical, mechanical, biographical, there shall always be the background of diety; an education which ignores God is one of the strongest allies of the devil. "As we look at the success of the young men and young women of this class, who have taken another step upward on that ladder which leads to intellectual fame, we are reminded that education is a development, and that it becomes either a blessing or a curse. There is abundant opportunity for wrong education, life calls to us in so many alluring ways. And promises short cuts to so many desirable places, that it is easy to be deceived. "Foolish and Unlearned" is the apt description of these short cuts; they promise learning, but they have only the show of it: They look wise, but their wisdom is mere veneered folly. There is many a short cut to the making of a living, but none to the making of a life. "An education is a valuable asset, and one which we cannot well afford to neglect; but we must bear in mind that the wisdom referred to in our text is not mere knowledge, science, or philosophy, but wisdom more precious than rubies. It has two important characteristics. First, it is religious, and is based on God. Second, it is practical; it assumes the direction of human conduct. "Happiness does not hinge upon an education, but upon your service to God. Our learning simply numbers the stars, calls them by name, weighs their masses, foretells their movements, discovers their elements, and predicts to a second their eclipse." rubies. It has two important characteristics. First, it is religious, and is based on God. Second, it is practical; it assumes the direction of human conduct. "Happiness does not hinge upon an education, but upon your service to God. Our learning simply numbers the stars, calls them by name, weighs their masses, foretells their movements, discovers their elements, and predicts to a second their eclipse. "With all our learning earth knows only one thing vast enough and great enough, or precious enough to justify an overruling providence and that is the human soul. "Wisdom is valuable because it ministers to our earthly welfare, and permits us to enjoy life and beauty about us. In order that we may enjoy God speaking to us, it seems to me we must be a lover of Nature. I do not know whether you will agree with me or not, but I am of the opinion, that, should we call the roll of those men who have been enthusiastic about the external world, we would find that the thing which distinguishes the mind of the first order of genius from secondary minds, is the power to see what is in Nature, the imagination to interpret that meaning of Nature, and the instinctive power of deriving wisdom and comfort from this dumb companion, that being mute, has its voice—"A voice that is silent and not heard." as David said, and yet a voice, "Whose sound and words have gone out to the end of the world." "Religion may bring its cross, but it likewise brings the grace with which to bear it, for in the word we are told to "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart: And lean not unto thine own Mr. and Mrs. Parrett, Timmons, Mr. and Mrs. De the D.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1900 SELIG TALKS 'EM TO SLEEP Fulerton Trustees Forget All About Municipal Ownership Under Spell of Eloquent Los Angeles Spellbinder—Warm Under Collar the Populace Citizens of our neighboring town of Fullerton are warm under the collar at the action of the trustees of that municipality taken on Monday evening, when they voted to pay the Adams-Phillips company $800 per year for a term of seven years to provide the town with an adequate water supply. Fullerton some months ago experienced a bad fire. There was no water supply, and Anaheim firemen who made the run over, in response to calls for help, at 4 o'clock in the morning, found no fireplugs to attach their hose lines to. As usual in such cases, the citizens got together after the fire and resolved to provide ample fire protection. The consensus of opinion seemed to favor municipal ownership, and the purchase of the antiquated private works now masquerading as a “water system” in that town. The trustees met on Monday even conclusion, permit me to say, the wisdom referred to embraces this principle, which I would to a member of the class, and each man and young woman present adapt as your motto through life it is to serve God best and to most. This can only be finished when you recognize your real responsibility to God. And prove to be more than gold in your life a factor in this good, more than talent in bringing greatest success, more than bringing you greatest satisfacpeal to you, young man, young both of the class and the audimake a personal application of night tonight, and as we mount after round of that ladder that from earth to heaven, may we really reach down, as did our Lord tatter, and lift up our more unforbrothers and sisters, that we keep abreast as we march onward factorious and triumphant finish, we shall hear these crowning well done, thou good and faithwant, enter thou into the joy of d.” Charlotte Adams Corneille sang “Father,” accompanied by La Rea on the piano and Harry on the claronet.

Todd says, “California is good for help, at 4 o’clock in the morning, found no fireplugs to attach their hose lines to. As usual in such cases, the citizens got together after the fire and resolved to provide ample fire protection. The consensus of opinion seemed to favor municipal ownership, and the purchase of the antiquated private works now masquerading as a “water system” in that town. The trustees met on Monday evening. Orator Selig was there, representing the poorest outfit he was ever connected with in his life. Selig can talk a bird off a bush, and he soon had Fullerton trustees asleep. They forgot all about the faults of their water system, forgot all about municipal ownership, were deaf to the lowering clouds of protest about them, and under Selig’s magic wand finally agreed to pay the water corporation $800 per year for a term of seven years, the water works to be made adequate for all future purposes. After the meeting municipal ownship advocates in Fullerton were the warmest set of men in the county. It was freely stated that members of the board of trustees opposed bonding for water works because they are seeking to have their property set out of the municipality, and that a bonded indebtedness might tend to interpose serious complications to the consummation of such project. “The longer we put off the purchase of these imitation water works,” said one irate citizen after the meeting, “the more they will cost us. The action of the trustees puts off municipal ownership seven years.” Orator Selig is pizen on municipal ownership, and he takes a crack at the new light whenever he gets a chance. Whenever he comes to Anaheim, advocates of municipal ownership break for tall timber. He’s bad. C. G. Billings returned on Sunday night from Montana, after a month’s absence, glad to get back to the sunny skies of Southern California. Cold rains, freezing to telephone and telegraph wires, covering the ground with ice, and a blizzard wind blowing 50 miles an hour, are some of the climatic experiences of our fellow-townsman. Crops are better this year than for many seasons past and farmers are doing well; yet many have resolved to come out to California as soon as they Mrs. Parrett, Mr. and Mrs. Susan, Mr. and Mrs. Devenney and Mr. D. club attended a dance at Grove on Saturday evening. Timmons was a business visitor to Los Angeles Monday. Morris Smith visited in Los Monday. Keller left Thursday evening for valley. Todd says, "California is good for him." He does not like warm storms. J. T. Smith went to Los Angeday for a few days' visit. and Mrs. East of Trinidad, Col.. and Mrs. McGill of Cheyenne, arrived last week to visit their Mrs. O'Brien, and family. Lage Terry reports that after the fare of the veterans from the War on Decoration Day, and when course had dispersed to their three little girls appeared early afternoon, with large baskets of and decorated three graves had been overlooked. One is have been the last resting place dier, but whether this report be or not, certainly the actions of the girls calls for praise. Fellows and Rebekahs will hold special services on Sunday after Members will assemble at Odd hall, and after ritual work arch to the cemetery, where of departed members will be used. And Cahen is one of this year's rites in the college of medicine of University of Southern California. Men will hang out his shingle in angelic town, and his friends hereope the best of good luck may with him.
