MONDAY, JUNE 8.
Augusta High School Boys
and Girls Hear Splendid
Commencement Sermons
Rev. S. P. Wiggins Preached to Tubman Girls and Dr. Ashby
Jones to Cadets of Richmond Academy. Churches Were
Well Filled. Each Was a Beautiful Lesson.
The baccalaureate sermons to Au*
gusta's two public high schools were
preached yesterday morning by Rev.
S. P. Wiggins at the St. John M. E.
church and Dr. M. Ashby Jones at the
First”* Baptist church, respectively.
Both churches were crpwded for the
special servicp.
Mr. Wiggins spoke to the yopjig
ladies of the Tybman High school,
using as his subject, "The Rife Beau
tiful." and taking his text from the
twelfth verse of the one hundred and
forty-fourth Psalm"—that our daugh
ters may be as corner-stones, polished
after the similitude of a palace.”
The Inward Beauty.
The preacher told first in a general
way the qualities of beauty; how
everyone wanted to be beautiful, and
how in the past the ideal of beauty
was beauty of form and now how it is
changed into the beauty of character,
the inward beauty rather than the out
ward form. “Beauty in it’s ideal form,"
said the minister, “is radiation of
character. She who has caught this
spirit of beauty can make all life beau
tiful."
Qualities of Beauty.
Be spoke separately of the quali
ties of beauty, saying: “First there is
the beauty of cheerfulness just as the
sunshine brightens all the world, sets
the birds to singing and thrills the
passerby with beauty, so cheerfulness
brings new impetus to life and thrills.
But cheerfulness does not find its
highest expression when all goes well,
it must be exhibited when clouds
gather and sorrow comes, and things
go wrong and fallow the philosophy
of the robin who sings as brightly in
the rain, as in the sunshine.
“Now the second quality, twin sis
ter to cheerfulness, is Contentedness,
not stupid indifference to circum
stance but meeting what responsibili
ties life brings bravely and making the
best of circumstances, not longing for
what is out of reach but believing that
what we have is best for us.
“The third quality is self-control. The
Bible says, ‘He that ruleth his spirit
is mightier than he who taketh a
city,’ and strength is as much a part
of the feminine nature as the mascu
line. She that ruleth her spirit is
lovelier than a queen.
“Consideration.”
“Consideration is the fourth quality.
She who would achieve the life beau
tiful must learn to be considerate, first
of all of herself, of her health, life,
hooks, companions. She must be con
siderate of her parents—dutiful, re
spectful and loving. She must be con
siderate of God’s rights, reverent,
trusting and believing. Considerate of
others; it is the unselfish that wins
friends.
"The fifth element is Culture. There
is no true culture without truth, sin
cerity and simplicity. Simplicity is
not simplemindness. Did you ever
notice how all the great deeds of life,
the great music, the great pictures,
not ‘puL on’ and avoids all fussiness
of style, but reflects simplioity of
mind.
"The sixth quality is Consecration.
What do we mean by consecration?
It is not a simple act hut a continua
tion and must he carried through life.
‘“Christ likeness.”
“The final quality and one that takes
in ail the others, is summed up in tlje
word ‘Christlikeness.’ He must be our
inspiration. When He was on earth
He went about doing good and He
never neglected prayer and the read
ing of the Scriptures. Philosophy adds
to the intellect; poets to the imagi
nation. but if we would gather to
gether all the elements that compose
the white ray of a beautiful life, we
must find it in the spirit of Him who
is Lord of Life.”
To Academy Boys.
Dr Jones, in preaching to the ca
dets of the Richmond Academy, took
his text from the 13th and 14th
verses of the third chapter of Philippl
ass, "Stretching forward to the things
which are before, I press on toward
the goal, unto the prize of the high
tailing of God in Jesus Christ.”
Dr. Jones spoke of the vital import
ance of a young man ehoosing his
life's work. He said that every boy
should first direct his attention to
what he is going to he. He gave this
as the difference between the man
and his calling. A dog, continued
the preacher, cap not *ee himself as
he is or as he would lik# to be; a man
can.
“No artist sits down to paint a pic
ture,” said Dr. Jones, “but has a clear
vision of the picture; no engineer sets
out to build a bridge, without definite
drawing, plana and specifications. So,

the man who drifts into life, swayed
by every appetite, moved by eyery im
pulse, becomes the mere creature of
circumstance, the victim of his pas
sions and appetites. The man who
is to be erective and serviceable to
the world, who is tp give the largest
and best contribution, and receive the
richest and fullest in return, must
have a definite man whom he wants
to he.
Musn’t Debauch His Body.
“A man with wefl-deyeloped lungs
and heart, muscles apd nerves, keen
sight, sensitive hearing; a mind train
ed to discriminate, with wide vision
of knowledge, and developed reasoning
powers; a spirit which includes varied
interests in life, warm in its sympa
thies for man, keen in its appreciation
of the things which are high and holy,
must understand that in order to at
tain this ideal for himself, he must
not debauch his body, weaken and de
teriorate his brain by feeding the pas
sions and appetites of a moment—but
must devote himself to tlie hard hours
of training and developing which come
with concentration of the faculties
upon the tasks of life. It must be a
‘stretching forward’ of every power I"
“The Man God Wants You to Be.”
“What I have been trying to say,’
said Dr. Jones, in concluding his ser
mon, “is what God’s word says:
’Pressing on toward the goal unto the
prise of the highest calling of God.’
That man which you can and ought to
be is the man God wants you to be,
and which He will help you to be. God
has a picture of the man which you
ought to be and can be by His power.
Be cap and will help.
“Now I turn to you men and wom
en of Augusta. Hook at this crowd of
boys! Think for a moment of the
possibilities for evil and for good
wrapped up in their personalities
They must choose for themselves, but
you can help or hurt tremendously,
growing up in the midst 'of your
standards, ambitions and customs.”
