Emory Miller, .in the baccaliureate address this afterncon at the State university commencement discussed In an able and interesting manner the ten- deney of the t'mes towards worldly gain and promotion and away from the old-time re- orings. Hé thought things were estimated too much from a material stand- point. Wealth was sought with too much avidity and at a sacrifice to a Christian life. He referred to a New York milllonaire who, before his death, upbraided his pastor for urging him on to accumulate great wealth that he might ald in church benevolence when he failed to lead a proper Christian life. Dr Miller gave a rap to certain preachers who dealt in sensationalism and paid his re- gards to certain clas:es of scientists. He urged the students to re to the good, old-fashioned ~religious doctrine that they were taught by their parents and to be wary of the many new fangled ideas of religion and morality of the present day.
