The Graduating Exercises of the Lornedale (Ontario) Academy

By K. C. Russell

ON the evening of May 30, 1910, the graduating exercises of the Lornedale Academy, located at Lorne Park, Ontario, were held in the chapel, which was prettily decorated for the occasion. Notwithstanding inclement weather, there was a good attendance. An appropriate musical program had been prepared, and the writer gave the address, emphasizing the importance of having a definite aim in life, and then with perseverance seeking to attain it.

This school, which is under the supervision of Prof. H. T. Curtis, is not a large one, but it is faithful in its effort to impart the right kind of education and training to those who come under its influence. The question of locating the school elsewhere is being considered by officials of the Canadian Union and Ontario conferences. It is thought that if it were located nearer the center of the Canadian Union Conference, it might serve as an educational center for the whole union, instead of restricting its field of operation to the territory of the Ontario Conference.

It was a source of encouragement to those present at the closing meeting of the faculty and students on the morning following the graduating exercises, to listen to the testimonies given by the students, expressing their love for, and devotion to, the cause of God, and their determination to seek a preparation that will fit them to be efficient workers in carrying the third angel's message to those in darkness.
