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.

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.” n» PATENTS GRANTED GEORGIANS.
