C. baccalaureate sermon de-delivered de-delivered Sunday by Rev E I. Goshen, of Salt Lake, proved the masterful mas-terful effort the public anticipated, though In truth maty of his thoughts were so broad and so striking that the entire audience could not well accept and assimilate them leidllv. Rev. Goshen's sermon was based on u verse of scripture in the 18th chapter 'or John, wherein Christ Is credited with crossing the Cedron, though to do so meant certain death following vindication, vindi-cation, Insult and Ignominy. The speaker sought to Impress upon the audience that every nation, every creed, sect and individual Is 'at some time called to cross the Cedron. To cross the brook means to stand for honor, Integrity, for right against oppression op-pression perhaps, and to remain on the wrong side means weakness1 and dishonor, though perhaps It may mean favor of the Dopulace, riches and position. He urged the building of the character that looked toward the eternal rather than the temporary glorification or mankind. Mr. Goshen preached liberty or thought and ao-tlon, ao-tlon, and universality to'.God's love. A very large audience heard the address ad-dress and appreciated it highly, though not agreeing heartily In all he said. Rev. Jos. E. Cordon offered the Invocation, In-vocation, and Rev. Day the benediction. benedic-tion. Musical numbers' rendered by the choir were very enjoyable tenures of the occasion. Class Diy Exercises.
