stlngof the graduates of the Marvin
bobcat. their parents and friends and

cored the address to the class. Rev.

[pension was one of the best ever deliv-
ioried by that eIOquent preacher.
The church was appropriately dec-
orated for the occasion and the edi-
nce was well filled. despite the threat-
ening Weather. '

choir rendered several selections of
‘iilgh order, which added much to the
pleasure and successof the occasion.

tollows: ' .
