Show EXERCISES BY ALL HALLOWS. Stirring Address Is Delivered by the Very Rev. W. R. Harris. All Hallows college held its twenty-third twenty-third . annual commencement exercises at the Salt Lake theatre Monday evening even-ing and presented before one of the largest audiences ever gathered in the history of the institution the play entitled en-titled "Successful Tactics." At the conclusion con-clusion of the performance, in which the students of the college took part, came the conferring of degrees and the awarding of medals, after which the Very Rev. W. R. Harris. D. D., LL. D-, delivered the address to the students. Julius Hilgard wis the leading character char-acter of the comedy and throughout the entire performance maintained the character of the eccentric Lord Creigh-ton Creigh-ton in a manner which brought forth the continued applause of the audience. The performance was a credit to the institution, in-stitution, and the consensus of opinion among those present was that the work of Rev. C. Chauve, who has had the training of the young people under his direct supervision, deserved the greatest commendation. Among those who de served by their conscientious and consistent con-sistent work the applause of the audience au-dience were Thomas Hutchison and Arthur Ar-thur ' McChrystal. One of the hits of the evening was scored by Emmet Shields, who played the part of the innkeeper with an ability and conservatism seldom seen in one of his" years on the professional stage. The work of Clarence Ahem brought forth the applause of the audience audi-ence when he called the trains in a life-like manner, which was a perfect imitation of the usual train announcer in the depots of the large cities.

The address of the evening was delivered de-livered by the Very Rev. Dean Harris, who congratulated the students on the success of the entertainment, and then spoke of the defiance of "the truth, the superficiality and prejudice that had crept into many of the leading colleges and schools of the country. Speaking aiong mese lines. Dean Harris said: Stirring Address. "Already these audacious denials of the supernatural are being followed by a looseness of morals and an ominous invasion of irreverance which threaten the stability of society. Thus, taking only a few clippings from our newspapers news-papers of recent date: An Orange (N. J.) paper records a trial marriage entered en-tered into for a space of five years by as the Orange Sentinel has it a gentleman gen-tleman and a lady. This shocking case of irreverance and travesty on the sanctity sanc-tity of marriage was ignored by the bench, the press and pulpit. A Buffalo Buf-falo paper tells us of a 'dinner of ten covers' given by a Methodist minister and his wife on Good Friday. At a fashionable wedding on the eve of Good Friday, in a Baptist church in a New England town, the pulpit was removed and a huge wishbone erected in its place. At a Universalist church in Massachusetts on a Friday evening of the holy season of Lent, a mock wpH- ding of children s was held, with bride and groom, matrons of honor, best man, bridesmaids, flower girls, ushers and, alas, that we have to admit it, an accredited ac-credited minister of a fashionable church. The Lohengrin march, we are told, was played for the auspicious occasion, oc-casion, and, for the sacred ring, emblematic em-blematic of the indissolubility of marriage, mar-riage, there was substituted a padlock and chain, the groom putting the key in his pocket. At Atlantic City an Episcopal Epis-copal minister introduced wrestlers and pugilists, cheap singers, and song-and-dance men, to -amuse his congregation ana give variety to his Sunday services. For the honor of religion, I rejoice that his bishop censured him and put an end to the desecration of God's house." Dean Harris then spoke of the need of a sound educational system on account ac-count of the change which had been taking place in the country during the last quarter of a century, and in conclusion con-clusion said: "Young gentlemen, live a clean life; act honorable with your fellow men; deserve well of your church and your country; and then peace, happiness and prosperity will wait upon your bidding and the world will be better and brighter because it has known you."

He was the prize pupil in geography ge-ography and physiology and when the school had any visitors the teacher liked to show him off. One day a member mem-ber of the school committee happened in as the class was reciting geography and asked a few questions and received receiv-ed fairly accurate answers. When he expressed a desire to switch to physiology, phy-siology, however, the teacher thought is was about time to show him something some-thing particularly precocious. So when he asked "Where is the stomach located?" she called on Charlie to answer. He did so with ready assurance. as-surance. "The stomach ," he said, "is situate Just south of the lungs in a hole in the diagram." N. Y. Herald. A smile when the day begins, And a song when its ends; With a share of cheer for your foes.
