PLAY NEEDED IN LIFE; EDWARDS TELL H. 3, GRADUATES |Spiritual. Refuge Needed to“Make Life a Success, Twenty-five Members of Natrona Class: Are ‘Told To be a success in life, every man ‘must establish for himself cities of spir- itual refuge, the Rev. Philip K. Rd- wards of the Episcopal church declared in a strong sermon delivered to the ‘graduating class of Natrona county high school at the Methodist church last evening. The congregation filled every available seat in the auditorlum. The Reverend Edwards based his messace upon the story of the cities of refuge {built by Joshua to protect the Israelites from the lynch law of their day. Work, recreation, a sense of humor, conse- crated purpose, love, and . religious faith are the spiritual refuges needed in every life, he declared. The church-last night was attract- ively decorated with palms, fruit blos- soms and peonies, and the members of the class, in cap and gown were sea’ in a reserved section of seats in the cen- ter of the church, marching to their places after the remainder of the con- Bregation was seated. The musical program for the service included a piano prelude, ‘“LaTen- Agesse,”” Cramer, by Mrs, C. E. Wygant: . “Day is Dying in the with ‘cello accompaniment by . Mood; an anthem, “Oh Worship pe Lord," a ‘cello solo by Mr. Hood; and a vocal solo, “Heaven fs Not Far Away,” by Miss Florence Hood. The Rey. Walter L. French of the Methodist church presided; the Rev. R. L. Lemons of the Baptist church gave the prayer, and Dr. Walter H. Brad- ley of the Presbyterian church gave the Scripture reading. After relating the scripture about the building of the cities of ref- uge, the Reverend Edwards declared that every man needed to build for him- self cities of spiritual refuge from the evils of life, “Without being pessimistic concern- ing life,” he said, ‘we must admit that we never know when, without moments warning, misfortune may sweep over us, bringing disaster and failure. We never know when death, sorrow, loss may overtake us. We must have some- |thing within which will enable us to Imeet and surmount these crises. ° “We all have back of us a long an- story cestry from which comes all that is good or evil within us. Every one of us knows of tendencies within which if given free reign would lead to disis- ter. Every man needs most, a refuge |from the evil within himself. In naming the refuges which will ald in surmounting the difficulties of lifa Rev. Mr. Edwards put work at the head of the list. | ‘Mont of us are physically and men tally lazy,” he said. We avoid work when we can, Yet the most dissatisfied people are those who have least to do. The speaker used Roosevelt as an ex- ample of the man who found his happl- ness in keeping ahead of his job. “Pick ont something you are fitted to do, throw your whole soul into it, and you will find happiness, he told the members of the class. Recreation was the second refuge on the speaker's list. “All work and no play not only makes Wack a dull boy but it often makes him a wicked boy,” he said. “Change is essential to human wel- fare. Whatever else you do, spice your | work with play,” he added. A sense of humor was another refuge |named and it should be directed at one's iself particularly. Thoro consecration was the fourth refuge. This: Mr. Edwards explained as the quality which a man puts into his business, making it stand for service to the community rather than money making alone. The man who sells goods over the counter and does it on |the square; the man who cleans the street and gives on honest day's work |for an‘ honest day's pay; the physician | who cares for the souls as well as the bodies of his patients—these are men with consecrated purpose, | speaker said. The final refuge which was named was the spiritual refuge to be found in Jesus Christ. “You may say what you please, and argue back and forth,” he declared, “but noeman's life is safe without a strong religious faith, “As you study ythe life of Abraham Lincoln you find the growth of such a faith. Every great. general on the Allied side of the World war was a man of strong religious faith. The picture of George Washington on his knees in | prayer during the darkest hours of the | Revolution, it seems to me, is the finest jexample set by the Father of this | Country. the the | CHICAGO, May 31.—The Republican |national committee is considering the | many contests over delegates, taking up |the states alphabetically.
