Cameron. D. D., pastor of the Pirst
Methodist Church of Brownwood,
who delivered the address of the
evening, .congratulated the group
“on many things." but first of all.
he said, he congratulated them on
the fact that every one of 'hem ap-
peared “to have been well bom."
Looking upon the large class of pu-
pils before him. he said, he believed
that he saw in everyone the evidence
of good parentage, and for these
parents, he told the boys and girls,
they should ever be thankful.
Though no theme was announced.
Dr. Cameron talked to the pupils
about character building: not a
hackneyed dissertation upon that
subject, but a discussion of the
things that go into the refining and
strengthening of a life.
