CCAiAUREATE  SERMON.
.Delivered Sunday Morning to tile
Class of *9S.
A   Magnificent  Audience   Asseroblcd  to
Hear Louis  Wolsey's Address to
tho Graduates of Clare
High School.
The baccalaureate sermon to. the
class of '98 of the Glare High school
was delivered Sunday morning by Mr.
Louis Wolsey in the presence of a large
and appreciative audience which occupied every available seat in Doherty
opera house. The stage was gaily and
appropriately decorated. The music
for the occasion was fine and well rendered, The presence of so large an
audience was a flattering compliment
to the young speaker,-while his auditors were deeply impressed with his
eloquence, his ease and grace and words
of wisdom. Mr. Wolsey is a native of
Olare, at least his boyhood and earlier
days were passed here among the
friends whom he hud the privilege to
address on last Sabbath morning.
For the past several years he has been
at Cincinnati attending college, where
he is studying to become a Jewish
rabbi—having come to Clare to soend
the summer vacation at the home of
his parents. In years he is yet a boy,
but his words proved him learned and
profound.   He said:
Every vacation I have heen peculiarly impressed with tho truth of the saying of Jesus
thaf'A prophet is not without honor save in his
own country." I; had hoped, alasi so often in
yain! to he au exception whereby the truth of a
rule is proven; until, at this late date, ray am-
hition has been gratified, and an honor has been
conferred on me, an honor which, let mo assure
the graduating class, I am deeply sensible.
I cannot but talce this opportunity to congratulate the people of my nallvo city upon their
inteUectual advancement. Tho fact of this
mental progress receives ample com Urination m
X\>. young graduates. It is only too true that
they i-ave received „..._._■ more benefits, educational and otherwise.1, than fell to my lot when
I attended the Clare schools. I was raised
amidst surroundings which to say the least wero
cramped, narrow, prejudiced, aye even bigoted.
But today theso younggraduatesare witnessing
a scene which neither I, nor perhaps anyone in
this audience has ever witnessed in Claro; a
scene typical of the breadth of mind to which
you have attained, that is the presence of rabbi
'and Christian clergyman on tho same plat.oi__,
each representing his own particular religious
beliefs, but all banded-together to give expression to the grand truths of all religion,
It is certainly an anomaly for one not yet entered into practical life to speak to a class of
young people who have just crossed the thresh-
hold of school life to enter into that larger and
more serious school where their manhood and
womanhood are to be tried in the crucible of
practical and earnest expert.nee. But there
are extenuating circumstances in this case this
morning. Besides 1»_ iuging to thi. audience tht:
fruits of many years' communion with tht- b.st,
and greatest which man has produced, lie brings
in addition a youth's flrst ideals. Whatever
man may say about the inexperience of youth,
•its immaturities and its failures to grasp tho
meaning of life's judgm.m., i_.« it.- *U ...ill this
to be remembered that the ideal, of youth must
command respect, for if they ever change during manhood it wiU be a change for the worse.
And the chief ideal cherished by me for many
years is well expressed in tho, chapter read
from sacred; scriptures this morning:
"Whence cometh wisdom, and where is the
place of understanding. Behold! the fear of
the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from
evil is understanding." (Jobocxviii, 20, -S] The
whole object of man's strivings in this world
has heen to answer this question of ,Tob. Men
have worked for ages to solve this problem.
The history of these endeavors portrays the
gloomy picture of overthrown philosophies, of
a titter intellectual strife. And this intellectual unrest, as prevalent today as in ages past,
has "given to our age a certain characterization.
"We see on all Sides the shattering of creeds, and
the beliefs of men loosened from their moorings
amidst the storm of reason and scepticism.
The pulse of humanity is-generated hy brain
action, not by a heart movement. Intellectual-
ism, and 18th century Rationalism are the divinities of this transition age, which proclaim
in ghoulish glee the answer to Job's query:
"Here is tho source of your wisdom, here is the
.place of understanding."
This is tbeintellectualism of the age, a state
■of civilization or rather uncivilization, that
ijvorships knowledge and facts, that calls him
"educated" who can recount facts, speak in
varied tongues or strut about aa a walking encyclopedia, when it is well-lmown that education is valueless if it does not teach how to
-think, reason, and to talk sensibly and under-
standihgly on the various questions that confront mankind.
In the pursuit of this will-'o-the-wisp of in-
tellertualism, we have lost sight of something
of far greater importaijpe; we have forgotten
morality and character. We havo educated the
head, we have therefore furthered cupidity and
artful strategy, and have neglected the heart
and character. We have imagined that success
depends on superiority of brain development.
We have supposed in ignorance of something
better that the brain is the place of understanding, that guile and artful strategy ate the accompaniments of wisdom, ' We have neglected
out hearts to the loss of morality and right-
living.
These conditions of civilization theycWre deserve our closest attention. Wo must meet
them by regenerating in our hearts tho pristine
morality, and healthfulness of dispositions aye
even innocence that characterized our youth.
We must stick to tho right and best as conceived when we we__ surrounded by tho best of
tatnan nature, when parental affection was lavished upon us. when the earnest teachings of.
instructors impressed upon our plastic souls
the b&st man is capable of; yes, to a timo whea
w.ta.wno.-.thetri-be.*., baseuess and de
ceit of humanity, Baok to the ideals of youtbl
or ratheV, Forward to the ideals of youth! must
be our watchword. Then will come the character that cnobles and putifles, the character
that teaches justice, mercy and humility, tho
Character that hates the wrong and baseness of
humanity.
This ideal would I urge my f ellowmen to cherish. I would impress upon that intellqctualism
knowledge and scholarship, whatever be their
benefits, are of no value if they be not accompanied by an education of the heart, if character strong and firm, yet withal the kind, benevolent and Qhari table character does not lead the
way onward and upward. I wish to bring home
to you the neoessity of cultivating high ideals,
of educating the heart as well as the brain, of
cherishing kindly feelings for all men, of loving
one's neighbor as one's self, of oherishing
ideals of earnestness, sin cerity and honesty.
Character and right living aro then the subjects of interest for those who esteem brain
education solely. Schooling, as we now term it,
must be supplemented by an education of the
feelings; for without feeling our moral equilibrium is destroyed. Without heart and with
brain, we become topheary, and characterless.
This we must learn if we are to do our duty
here. This is the answer we must give to Job's
query; we must feel with him, that "the fear
of the Lord, is wisdom, and to depart from evil
is understanding."
Lunch at Eastern Star.
On Monday evening occurred the initiation of Mrs. Laundra into the sacked and mystic rites of the Eastern
Star From all accounts she bore the
ordeal with stout heart and passed
with honors, notwithstanding the
efforts of "Our Soldier Boy" to turn
out the lights  on  the   ceremonies.
After the initiation the ladies of the
Eastern Star gave a lunch composed
mainly of ice cream, cake, and flowers,
in honor of the initation of Mrs,
Laundra. The lunch was partaken of
chiefly by guests of the ladies, Louis
Wolsey and Aaron Rosenthal distin-
suishing themselves as especially liberal partakers. The other guests who
succeeded in doing their duty to the
lunch were Miss Nellie Kane, Miss
Storey and Clark Giberson. After the
lunch toasts were responded to by
Louis Wolsey, Aaron Rosenthal and
Dr. Burrier.
An entertainment was also given,
in which Mr. Rosenthal was prominent with a cornet solo. His smile.
Oh! that beautiful winniug smile, was
conspicuous for its absence, for which
his audience felt grateful, ("lark Giberson sang a solo with a baritone voice
and a solemn face. Miss Lottie Parrish and Mrs. W. Parrish sang a duet.
Louts Wolsey sang a song entitled
"Don't let her lose her way," for the
especial benefit of the "Soldier Girl."
Dr. Burrier was asked very kindly and
very persuasively to sing, but he could
not wai_ until he^ got into the lunch
room, so he did not warble, All in all
tbe affair was a very pleasant one, and
Mr. Wolsey echoed tbe sentiments of
everyone in his toast; when he hoped
that the ladies of the Eastern Star
would soon have another initiation.
Back J/rom California.
Eev. aDd Mrs. Harvey Hinmatt returned to Clare Tuesday after an "absence of about two years, and were
warmly welcomed by their numerous
friends itod acquaintances in this city,
which was their home for many years.
During their absence they yisited a
large portion of the country on the
Pacific coast, especially in southern
California, traveling largely by horse
and carriage, having traversed over 900
miles in this way, which afforded them
a good opportunity to form an accurate opinion of the country. They were
at Los Angeles aDd vicinity for some
time, and are enthusiastic in'praise of
that locality, the people, the climate
and the fruit and ceral advantages.
It is their intention to return and
locate there permanently in
about two. years, and the object of
their yisit to Michigan is to induce
their son and daughter, and incidentally others, to return with them.
Their children reside at Frankfort,
whither they will go within a few days
to visit and spend the summer.

John Saunders, father of Mrs. M. D.
Davis deceased, died at his home near
Mt. Pleasant Friday Tune 17, 98, aged
83 years. Mr. Saunders came to Isabella county in 1855 and homesteaded
a tract of land, on part of which a portion of the. city of Mt. Pleasant now
stands. He was also the first postmaster in Isabella county, the name of
the postoffice being Hew Albany—
now Mt. Pleasant, In -those early
days J. O. Rockafellow, now of this
city; used to pack mail into New Albany from St. Johns and points south.
Says H. R. Pattengill in the Michigan school Moderator: "About one-
fifth of the state militia are thrown
out by the medical examiners. Inasmuch as the guards are made up of
young men, this is not very flattering
to the general physical condition of
our youth. The greater portion of
those who fail to pass muster are
thrown out Because of weakness of the
heart, brought on by cigarette smok-
ingand excessive bicycle riding. Boys
will begin to believe after a While
what we've been telling them about
tobacco for, lo, these many years,"
The large number of people wT_o are
interested in sugar beets will learn
from the following that it isn't the
easiest work in the world raising
them. The item is from the Enterprise of Mt. Pleasant in the vicinity of
which city quite a crop of the beets is
being grown this year: "The thinning
of the sugar beet crop so that thrifty
plants are leftiu regular cder about
eight inches apart in the rows, is a
tedious business. It is exactly the
same work from morning until night,
and about eight days' work must be
done on each acre. After the thinning shall be done the plants will
grow rapidly. A shallow cultivation
to keep the ground moist and the hoeing out the weeds as they appear, will
be light work. The harvesting will be
good wotk for boys that want to earn
a few dollars. The most pleasant
thing about the crop will be in getting
the checks cashed. There will be
$10,000 to go to about eighty persons
in Isabella county and everyone should'
strive to get the biggest check in pro- j
portion to the number of acres raised." |

Fine Catch of Trout.
One of the finest catches of'Speckled
trout that possibly ever was. brought
into this city was taken from Halstead creek, four iniles north, by"j_d
Halstead. There were 23 of them and
everyone a beauty, averaging from
10 to 13 inches in length and from f to
about li pounds in weight, the lot just
filling an 8-cit dishpan. They were indeed a pretty sight, a,nd would make
any angler envious of the catch. The
numerous streams adjacant to Clare
are fairly alive with these speckled
beauties, and lovers of the rod and
reel are finding ample sport nowadays.
Clare is saining a wide imputation
throughout tbe state for the fine trout
