GETTING SOMEWHERE
Half the pleasure of traveling is in the journey. The other
half is in reaching the destination.
When you start to save money, much of the pleasure comes
from the realization that you are traveling forward. There is
added satisfaction when a definite sum has been reached.
Tho you save but small amounts
'Tis REGULARITY that counts.

Editorials
BEGINNINGS
Everything, big and little, com-
plete and incomplete, had a begin-
ning sometime and somewhere.
Much speculative thinking has been
done, as to the beginning of begin-
nings. In other words, there is al-
most no end to the discussions, past
and present, as to the ultimate
source of all things. Those of us
who accept a great many things on
faith call it God, and what an an-
chorage to the soul this assurance
affords ! Only he who trusts in God
knows what it means. Many specu-
lative theories have been expound-
ed, as well as exploded; and, when
all is said and done, most of us are
of much the same opinion still. Phil-
osophers may theorize, and scient-
ists may go on discovering new facts
yet none of them probably will ever
arrive at an ulterior source, with,
at least, any measurable degree of
satisfaction.
It is the beginning of smaller
things than that of the universe,
however, which concerns us chiefly
now. So many affairs in everyday
life depend on how we actually be-
gin them. The old saying that "All
is well that ends well", or "A bad
beginning forebodes a good ending",
is fraught with more or less doubt
and superstition. It is better to say,
"Well begun is half done". Why
does a builder of a house insist on
a firm foundation, — a thing so in-
conspicuous and almost hidden from
the public view? Or why does the
engineer require that every stone be
laid just right in the obscure sup-
port of a large bridge? Simply be-
cause it is the beginning of a mass-
ive structure, and the strength of
it depends upon the firmness of the
foundation stones from the begin-
ning. A single misplaced stone may
involve the insecurity and death of
hundreds of human lives.
There is a striking parallelism
in the preceding to the building of
character. The strength and beauty
of a character also rests on a foun-
dation of good thoughts and right
habits ; and thoughts and habits de-
termining a character can often be
traced to early life. The moral
weakling began somewhere to sink
and gradually go down. The de-
bauchee is seldom swallowed up
suddenly in the whirlpool of lust
and vice in a single night. Some-
where, and perhaps very early,
there began in his life a tendency
leading downward. It may have
been a single wrong thought. Per-
haps it was barely tolerated at first,
but once endured, it was fondled,
then pitied, and then embraced!
Thoughts seldom remain alone and
unfruitful.
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
11
"Sow a thought, and you reap an
action ;
Sow an action, and you reap a
habit;
Sow a habit, and you reap a char-
acter ;
Sow a character, and you reap a
destiny."
School life abounds in lessons on
"beginnings." Almost every day
sees something well begun and well
done, or something poorly begun
and half done. Getting the first
geometry theorem assures greater
facility in getting the second. Mas-
tery of the subject depends on the-
orems mastered one by one, from be-
ginning to end, with special empha-
sis on the beginning. Getting one's
breakfast in the morning, promptly
at breakfast time, insures a certain
degree of physical energy which
no student can afford to begin the
day's work without. A certain a-
mount of physical exercise to begin
a long period of study is a remark-
able antidote for lack of concentra-
tion and mental laziness. A Sunday
quietly and religiously observed is a
powerful forerunner to six busy days
fraught with care and anxiety.
Thousands of students have begun
or are about to begin, a new school
\ ear. Nothing is more important in
a school career than to get a good
grip on oneself the beginning days
of the year. Surely, here, a founda-
tion well laid, in first lessons mas-
tered and programs carefully plan-
ned, will result in the kind of in-
tellectual house that will not fall
when the rains descend and the
winds blow.
A year well begun in school, or
out of school, is important; but, af-
ter all, years are just made up of
separate days. As the days, so shall
the year be. Then, how do you be-
gin your day? Someone has fitly
said : "No day is well begun that
does not begin with God". Quiet
communion with God is nowhere
more essential than at the dawn of
a new day. It is like the tuning of
an instrument. It produces harm-
ony throughout the day because the
soul is in tune with the Infinite. Not
to be in tune means discord, and
some of the results of this discord
may be seen in the following verses:
"Only a smile, yes, only a smile.
That a woman o'erburdened with
grief
Expected, from you; 'twould have
given relief
For her heart ached sore the while,
But weary and cheerless, she went
away;
Because it happened that very day,
You were out of touch with your
Lord.
Only a word, yes, only a word,
That the Spirit's small voice whis-
pered, 'Speak;
But the worker passed onward, un-
blessed and weak,
Whom you were meant to have
stirred
To courage, devotion and love anew
because, when the message came to
you,
You were of touch with your Lord.
"College men never graduate in
a hurry. They do it by degrees."

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
COLLEGE LECTURE COURSE
Eliabethtown College
Elizabethtown, Pa.
The College Lecture Course this
year will be the strongest and most
attractive ever given by Elizabeth-
town College. There are six num-
bers,— four lectures and two music-
al numbers. All of these numbers
will be given in the town Market
House. The following is a short
write-up of each number:
On November 2nd, Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise will give his popular lecture
on the subject "The Teacher in a
Democracy". Rabbi Wise received
his preparatory education at the
College of the City of New York.
He was graduated from Columbia
University at the School of Philos-
ophy with the Ph. D. degree in 1901.
He is a man with a passion for, as
well as a vision of, a better social
order, endowed with a magnetic
personality and rare oratorical gifts.
He has the power to kindle in his
hearers his own buring real for nob-
ler living and a finer humanity. His
personality bristles. He is a lump
of human radium. He has the
square shoulder of an athlete, and
the firm face of a fighter. His
speeches are whirlwinds of elo-
quence and humor. He was chair-
man of the Zionist Commission to
the Peace Conference and one of the
delegates to Paris of the American
Congress. In January 1919 the
French Government conferred up-
on him the Cross of Chevalier of the
Legion of Honor for eminent ser-
vices to the French Republic. It
is very unusual that Dr. Wise can
be gotten for so small a town as
Elizabethtown.
On November 15, the Harp Trio
and Raymond Simonds will appear
as the second number of the Col-
lege Lecture Course. The Zimmer
Trio is the only Harp Trio in the
U. S. Their ensemble work affords
some of the most exquisite program
numbers ever presented on any lec-
ture course. There probably never
was a company organized which ex-
emplified better the ideal program,
in a program which all manner of
people could enjoy whether they be
ultra-musical or non-musical. The
program is diversified and consists
of harp solos, duets, and trios. The
vocalist with the Harp Trio is Ray-
mond Simonds of Boston. He is un-
questionably the leading Tenor of
New England. He has a splendid
physique, superb technique and a
voice which displays with its re-
markable modulations the direct
spirit of the songs. This number
will give unusual satisfaction to all
classes who may come to enjoy it.
On December 6th, Dr. Charles
Eaton, the big brother of New York,
will appear as the third number of
the Course. Mr. Schwab says of
Dr. Eaton, that he is the finest man
with whom he has ever been associ-
ated. He considers him one of the
most valuable men we have today.
Dr. Eaton is an author of note as
well as an orator of extraordinary
power. His contributions in the
leading journals of the U. S., Cana-
da, and Great Britain and his edi-
torial in Lesley's Weekly are copied
far and wide. He is a friend of the
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
15
common people. In one year he ad-
dressed over a milliom working
men. For ten years he was pastor
of the Madison Avenue Baptist
Church. Before coming to New
York he was pastor of the great
Euclid Avenue Church of Cleveland
Ohio, of which Mr. John D. Rocke-
feller has been a member for more
than sixty years. At present he is
Editor of Lesley's Weekly and is
considered the world's greatest pi-
oneer as a civil and social engineer.
The fourth number of the Lec-
ture course will be given January
18th by Dr. Harry Balkin, the Char-
acter Annalist of New England. Mr.
Balkin interprets, and explains
truths about yourself which you
have intuitively known but have
been unable to analyze. His lecture
points the way for the development
and maintenance of your best char-
acteristics; warns what is peculiarly
hurtful ; counsels to self improve-
ment; guides in the choice of a vo-
cation and gives social advice. Sim-
ply stated his lecture tells you how
to achieve success through a greater
and better understanding of your-
self and others. It is a lecture ev-
eryone should hear. His subject is
"What Job Am I Best Fitted For?"
The fifth number of the course
will be given on February the 15th
by the Crawford Adams Company
which is unquestionably the most
popular musical company on the
platform. For the past eight years,
thiswonderful organization has been
offered all the dates possible to ac-
cept in a season. In some towns it
is returning this year for the sev-
enth consecutive concert. In theso
stirring times there must obviously
be some reason for this continued
demand. Crawford Adams is the
answer. He is rightfully named,
"Wizard of the Bow." Adams is
not only an excellent violinist, capa-
ble of presenting the best in music,
he is also a striking example of the
influence of a dominant personality
on an audience, Adams presents
three distinct phases of musical ef-
fort— the classical and the stand-
ard, imitations with the violin, and
request numbers. The last named
has made him famous from coast
to coast. He asks the audience to
name any number which they may
wish to hear — without hesitation
Adams plays the request. In nine
years he has not failed to play the
piece mentioned. With Adams are
artists of a like calibre. Marion
Wilkins, reader and Charles Co-
burn LaPierre, pianist. Miss Wil-
kins is a graduate of the Powers
School in Boston. She has a radiant
personality and exceptional ability
as a reader. Charles Coburn La-
Pierre, a graduate of the Faelton
School, Boston. He is a soloist of
unusual brilliance and an expert ac-
companist. He has as extensive a
repertoire as Mr. Adams and accom-
panies him on all of the request
numbers.
The last and greatest number of
the lecture course will be given on
Mar. 14 by Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis
Almost everyone who reads or
thinks, knows of the tremendous in-
fluence Dr. Hillis has exerted on
American life during the past de-
cade. Successor of Henry Ward
14
OUR COLl£GE TIMES
Beecher, he is one of the foremost
ministers in our country today. He
has been pastor of Plymouth church
Brooklyn, New York, for nineteen
years. Dr. Hillis' new lecture "The
National Crisis, Bolshevism or a Bet-
ter America," is considered his most
masterly effort. It is a vital, thrill-
ing human lecture with "American-
ism" as its dominant keynote. You
cannot afford to miss hearing it. Dr.
Hillis is a master of the English lan-
guage, a master of oratory, a mas-
ter at presenting to masses of listen-
ers the fundamentals of American
Philosophy. He has proved this ov-
er and over again through many
successful years and has spread the
influence in countless directions, but
now in his latest work the "Better
America" lectures, he places his art
within reach of everyone who is in-
terested. These "Better America"
lectures, unlike the old-fashioned,
dry, educational essays, are packed
full of interesting stories and facts
about virile America, her resources,
her people and all of their fine tra-
ditions and hopes for a still greater
nation. When Dr. Hillis lectures
you cannot fail to receive some germ
of truth which will blossom to pur-
poseful inspiration in your own life.
No lecturer is great in himself, it is
the connotative ideas which his
words arouse, which make him val-
uable. Dr. Hillis opens fertile fields
for your mind to explore. He in-
spires you to bigger things and a
nobler life.

LITERATURE.
Milton says: "Literature is some-
thing so addressed to after times,
that they should not willingly let it
die." Shakespeare's definition is,
"Literature is something ad-
dressed not to after times, but to an
eternal present, and invested with
such a touch of nature as to maks
the whole world kin." But a mere
definition can not take the place of
what one may call a real feeling for
Literature. Wadsworth must have
had this feeling when he defined
poets as "those who gave us nobler
loves and nobler cares."
The study of literature broadens,
enriches, and elevates the mind. It
presents ever changing vistas of hu-
man experiences which furnish for
us sources of inspiration.
Literature besides appealing to
the feeling and intellect, appeals al-
so to the imagination. If it did not
open this door of imaginative activ-
ity, there would be nothing to trans-
figure the every-day duties of our
lives, and nothing to take us away
from the sordid things of earth to
center our minds on heavenly
things.
Then, too, the study of Literature
develops the spirit of service. We
may see this manifested in all of
Shakespeare's great dramas. But
to find the most sublime writings of
this class, turn to the Bible, the
greatest book in all Literature, the
one which shall stand though heav-
en and earth pass away.
Above all, "Literature brings us
face to face with great ideals, which
tend to raise the level of our individ-
ual achievement." And if, after we
have made a study of Literature,
our lives have developed and un-
folded into something better and
nobler, surely we have gained that
which is invaluable. L.F.
Debating in Literary Society.
The members of the Homerian
Society seem to have the brain
capacity to make a very high
grade society. There are sev-
eral splendid debaters 'among its
members and for this reason debates
should be an important factor in
the society.
The debating team will give us a
Prestige at other schools even if
we do not win. There should be
no reason for losing, however con-
sidering the debaters we are capa-
ble of securing. What is needed now
is plenty of practice and thorough
drilling. This can be secured by
using a part of each society period
for debates.
In my estimation there is nothing
so difficult as debating before one's
own schoolmates. One has before
him the most critical judges that he
can care to have. This gives the in-
valuable power of self control and
confidence while on one's feet.
Debating gives every one the
chance to speak, and so we may
16
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
have a body of deep thinkers that
need not be afraid to take their
part in any phase of school work.
It seems to me the debating team
is the primary outcome of the so-
ciety. W. F.
Events Following Cupid's Visit.
(From the Students' Viewpoint )
It happened this way, the cook
had left the College, and was gone
for a few days, when she returned
from her venture, victorious, and
proclaimed by all a conqueror.
The most fitting and proper thing
for the student body to do was to
give a demonstration of their appre-
ciation that the cook returned and
also to welcome the "chef" ; for we
all meant to make him feel at home.
Some of us felt he might not feel
comfortable in his new environment
That night the boys planned to
serenade. So on Monday night they
gave them all the music they want-
ed. Then the girls thought of some
thing wiser and decided to have a
kitchen shower. They all purchas-
ed small gifts and met with the boys
in Chapel just after supper. From
there they all marched to the kitch-
en, placed their gifts on one of the
tables and awaited the exciting mo-
ment for the cook and her husband
to arrive and unpack the packages.
Both were very shy and the cook
refused to come before her husband
arrived, but he could not be per-
suaded to come; so she started to
unpack, while he stood far behind
trying to see what was going on.
There were many interesting
presents such as men's handker-
chiefs, pennies, potatoes, beans,
rolling pins, and many other useful
articles. All watched very patient-
ly and enjoyed the few minutes in-
tensely.
Then before parting a yell was
given in honor of the cook and as
the students returned to their rooms
it was hard to tell which was the
happier group ; the Newly Weds or
the Students.
The Rich Heritage.
Man in his primitive stage began
like a child without definite know-
ledge, without definite beliefs and
standards, without a social heritage
with which to develop his capaci-
ties. But as his powers of abstract
thought and articulate speech be-
gan to develop he could accumulate
knowledge and pass it on to his fel-
lows. Successive inventions and dis-
coveries gradually increased his
fund of knowledge. Ideals, stand-
ards and values were handed from
generation to generation, accumu-
lating as they went, until finally in
this late age of the world we find
ourselves to be heirs to a richer her-
itage than the world has ever
known. How often we fail to real-
ize the meaning and significance of
such a heritage.
One invaluable element in our
heritage is our literature. It gives
us the history of the race's experi-
ence, shows us the causes and ef-
fects of different events and move-
ments. Good literature has been a
OUR COLLEGE TIMES

great means in developing our cul-
ture and aesthetic nature. It brings
us face to face with great ideals
which increase our sense of respon-
sibility for the stewardship of life
and tends to raise the level of our
individual achievement. It gives us
a heightened sense of the demands
which life makes and a better com-
prehension of the "far-off" divine
event toward which we move. It
brings pleasure unlike that which
arises from physical gratification.
It brings deliverance to souls weary
with routine or suffering the stroke
of some affliction. Without our up-
lifting poetry and other inspiring
literary works the enlightenment
of this age would be impossible.
Then too think what the past con-
tributed in the field of science. Thru
it we have all our notable inven-
tions, discoveries and conveniences,
healthful and sanitary conditions.
Science today enables the farmer
and manufacturer to increase his
productions. The toils and aches of
the past give way to the conveni-
ences of modern machinery, modes
of travel and transportation. Our
heating, lighting and communicat-
ing systems are indispensible. An-
aesthetics, medicine, and other scien-
tific treatment now make curable
diseases and other physical ailments
which were at one time fatal. All
this has come thru thought and ef-
fort, by arranging knowledge un-
der general truths and principles.
This classified knowledge or science
is a great part of our rich heritage.
We are likewise heirs to the finer
arts. Before man had acquired a
form of language be communicated
his thots and ideas to his fellows by
making sounds and images. From
age to age as man advanced in cul-
ture and knowledge, art also devel-
oped, still being used as a means
of communication. This develop-
ment continued until today we have
the great masterpieces which not
only appeal to our aesthetic tastes
but hold before us high ideals and
in a silent way teach the race the
many valuable lessons. Music has
developed from crude discordant
sounds and noises to the very beau-
tiful harmony and melody which
thrills and inspires every soul. Mu-
sic is a harmonizing element that
makes for democracy. It is a medi-
um of expression, a safety valve to
the emotions and feelings which
cannot be pent up. It is the truest
of all means of communication with
our Maker. It is something without
which our present stage of culture
and refinement would be impossible,
and communion with God would be
much more difficult. Every intelli-
gent man or woman will agree that
we could dispense with neither art
nor music. They make us more ap-
preciative of God, nature, and the
capacities and instincts which man
possesses.
As Greece contributed art and
culture, and Rome contributed law,
so the Hebrew nation contributed
the True Religion. Christianity is
the forerunner of all forms of social
progress. Wherever the principles
of Christianity are practiced we
have Democracy, that highest form
of government, "of the people, by
the people and for the people."
True Democracy is nothing more
18
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
nor less than a government based
on Christian principles. Christian-
ity has freed the slave, ennobled the
ideal of woman, and made the home
a minature heaven on earth.
When the writer of the Book of
Psalms refers to the entering of the
children of Israel into the land of
Canaan by saying that the Almighty
has given to his chosen people the
heritage of the heathen, he recalls
one of the truest illustrations of an
earthly inheritance to be found on
the pages of history. Here they got
wells they digged not, houses
they builded not, olive trees and
vineyards that they planted not,
and the land flowed with milk and
honey. It was theirs for the taking,
to use for their development and to
the Glory of God. But when they
missed their heritage they fell and
were taken into captivity. Likewise
the Grecians and Romans, just as
soon as they misused their inherit-
ance which they had received from
their ancestors, fell. Instead of us-
ing their resources as a blessing
they turned them to a curse. Thus
they failed to hand the good on to
their fellows as God designed a peo-
ple should. Without the transmis-
sion of beliefs, standards, ideals,
values and accomplishments such a
thing as social progress, and our
highest stages of development
would be impossible.
Since it is so easy to misuse our
heritage, how important it is for us
to learn this lesson from other for-
merly cultured peoples, who degen-
erated by misusing the patrimony
which was given to them. We
must appreciate the value of our
birthright and the blood and sweat
which it cost our ancestors. Let us
realize what it means to live in this
twentieth century. Our responsibil-
ities are so much greater than were
those in the past. We must be more
highly developed, have higher
ideals, accomplish more, and be
more nearly perfect than our par-
ents to be even as good as they
were.
We are only trustees of the val-
ues transmitted to us. It is for us
to use them properly and pass on
to our posterity a still richer herit-
age so that when we leave this mor-
tal sphere there will be a contin-
ual renewing of life, ever increasing
as time moves on. C.H.R.
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, misfortune has depriv-
ed Professor Hoffer of his beloved
mother, be it resolved that we, rep-
resenting the faculty of Elizabeth-
town College, of which Professor
is a member, hereby express our
kindred feeling in the sorrow which
he is called upon to bear. We have
the assurance that in the Christian
religion may be found the grace
and support which we all need in
time of bereavement.
We further resolve that a copy
of the above be delivered to Profes-
sor Hoffer and that these resolutions
be published in the Eliabethtown
Chronicle and in the College Times.

Home Again !
Hurrah for the rush ! Indeed,
there was a grand rush on the morn-
ing of September 5. To those who
had been here before it was rather
a pathetic scene as we watched the
parade. It was a parade of home
seekers coming back to their Win-
ter home.
During previous weeks the Hill
was seemingly dead, but at last it
has awakened from its long sleep,
and now in every nook and corner
we can hear voices.
There was quite a hustle and bus-
tle until we became acclimated. It
was interesting to watch the new-
comers. Some of them soon made
themselves feel at home while oth-
ers thought the place not so very
homelike.
Mr. Meyer while preparing to
study his Greek lesson: "Let us go
swimming !"
Prof. Nye — What is sorrow?
Mr. Weaver — Sorrow is to have
really loved and lost.
Miss Babylon admits that she is
larger longitudinally than Miss
Trimmer, but horizontally "nothing
doing."
Philosophers have puzzled over
the definition of "love." Mr. Wea-
ver knows. Ask him.
Ask Miss Baugher if she likes
mice. If she replies in the negative
ask her why she carries them to the
mail box.
Ask John why he enjoys his Jun-
ior year at College. (Betty is not un-
der restriction.)
Mr. Meyer — I know a good joke
on Sherman but I can't think of it
now.
Mr. Sherman — What is it? May
be I can tell you.
Miss Ziegler says she would love
to live in the apartments because
she thinks they have such lovely
kitchens.

Miss Hykes — "Please don't ad-
dress me in that manner; just call
me by my maiden name."
There seemed to be difficulty in
obtaining kitchen aid. The cook
has discovered a new method. Mar-
ry for charity.

There seems to be a lack of inter-
est in morning watch. It may be
clue to the fact that we are not
awakened by the arrival of Profes-
sor Meyer on the Hill since he
purchased his new Ford. Mostly

A marked degree of leniency has
been discovered by the students who
came to College Hill this year. The
one item of interest to quite a num-
ber of the students is the extra two
hours of social privileges to be ob-
served Thursday evenings from four
to six. The great Japanese puzzle
of the whole matter is, what will
the faculty do when the sun sinks
in the west at four-thirty?
Social.
The Young Men's Welfare Asso-
ciation invited the Young Women's
Welfare Association to spend the
first Thursday evening of the school
year with them at a 'corn roast'
held on the baseball diamond on the
College Campus.
The girls arrived at seven o'clock.
Several games were played and
then all sat around the fire. At this
time toasts were given and stories
told, and Professor E. G. Meyer fa-
vored the students with a vocal so-
lo. After the last ear of corn was
eaten the students returned to their
rooms feeling that they had spent
a very enjoyable evening.
Convocational Meeting.
On Monday evening, September
5th, the eve of the opening day of
College a convocational meeting was
arranged by the faculty. Quite a
number of the members of the fac-
ulty gave inspiring talks to the stu-
dent body. Among the speakers
were Miss Eliabeth Myer, the old-
est member of the faculty, both in
years and in service. Professor J.
G. Meyer, the president of the Col-
lege, Professor Byer, Professor
Gingrich, and Professor L. W. Leit-
er. The student body will do well
to heed their suggestions.
After the addresses had been giv-
en the meeting was placed in the
hands of the social committee. They
had arranged a game in which each
student was introduced to the stu-
dent body. At ten o'clock every
one went to his room feeling that
the evening was well spent.
The Senior Class of College Hill
has just chosen its new officers in a
private class meeting. The elec-
tion resulted in Pres., Mr. Daniel
Harshman; Sec, Miss Stella Walk-
er; Treas., Miss Esther Trimmer;
Vice Pres., Mr. Elias Edris. The
newly elected officers will soon be
busy with the many duties that come
up during the senior year.
The Junior class, too, through
the efforts put forth by the Seniors
last year, have been given the priv-
OUR COLLEGE TIMES

ilege to organize their class. The
election held by the class recently
resulted as follows: Pres., Mr. Clar-
ence Sollenberger; Vice Pres., Mr.
Nathan Meyer; Secretary, Miss Es-
ther Leister, and Treas., Mr. John
Sherman. If we may judge by the
number of class meetings held by
the class, there will be much activ-
ity shown by this class during the
school year.
The committee of the trustees
who takes care of the building end
of business on College Hill has su-
pervised the building of two fine
new structures on the College
grounds.
The fine new cottage which has
just been built will make an ideal
home for two families. The cot-
tage measures 28x38 feet and is
built on the double-house plan. The
lower floor has a kitchen, dining
room, and living room. The up-
stairs has a bath-room, sewing room
and two bed-rooms. The building
is lighted by electricity and is heat-
ed with the pipeless heater system.
The hot and cold water system is in-
stalled too.
The cottage is to be occupied by
Reverend Walter Thomas and fam-
ily, and Professor Byer and family.
The other new structure that has
just been finished is a fine garage.
This building measures 96x32 feet.
There are eighteen divisions in this
building, with enough room in each
division for two machines.
As this number of the Times goes
to press there are 19 students en-
rolled. A year ago today the enroll-
ment was 165.
On seeing the announcement of
his sister's engagement in the paper,
eight-year-old Jimmy said, "Oh

Newville Sunday School.
The Newville Sunday School has
been doing splendid work during
the Summer. They have kept up
interest and attendance in a very
commendable way.
At present we have an average
attendance of about eighty percent.
of our enrollment. This is gratify-
ing, when we consider that Newville
has become large enough to have
Sunday Baseball. We feel that
more of the children in Newville
should be in the Sunday School and
we are just launching a contest be-
tween the junior classes for an in-
creased attendance. The boys say,
"We will win," and the girls just
as earnestly say, "No you will not-."
With a spirit like this Newville
Sunday School must grow.
The faces of all the children
beamed when the Superintendent
suggested on last Sunday, that we
want to have a Children's Service
soon. On the evening of September
eighteenth Professor H. H. Nye
gave a very interesting and helpful
"chalk talk" to the people. As this
was the first service for the year
quite a number of our new students
took their first trip to Newville. The
children gave a hearty response to
the questions asked and seemed to
enjoy the service.
The day school of Newville is
taught by Miss Emma Zeigler '21.
The Sunday School staff consists of
Stanley H. Ober, Superintendent;
Prof. Harley, Ruth Minnich, Anna
Brubaker, Daniel Myers and Mar-
garet E. Oellig, all of whom are loy-
al workers. We are planning great
things for Newville. Remember us.

Stevens Hill Sunday School.
As you drive along one of the
most beautiful country roads that
lead from Elizabethtown, you come
to a neat little church, the name of
which is "Stevens Hill" because of
its situation.
As one stands on the hill and
looks about, he seems to be sur-
rounded with a continuous range of
mountains, many small valleys and
fields bearing the fruits of God'?
goodness.
Just the very situation and fresh
atmosphere of the place makes one
want to commune with his great
and adorable Maker; one's very
soul within him seems to cry, "What
is man that thou art mindful of
him." We see the cows grazing up-
on the green hillside and hear the
birds singing among the trees.
They do not worry or fret, but they
fulfill their mission, knowing God
will take care of them, and as the
deep blue heavens look down upon
one he is made to blush, because of
his lack of faith in God.
Scattered about among these
small hills and vales are dwelling
houses, and from these places the
people wind their way to the little
church on the hill to worship and
learn more about their wonderful
Maker.
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
23
Every Sunday afternoon Rebecca
McKonly, Mae Good, Francis Barr
and Enos Weaver, students from the
College, go to Stevens Hill to con-
duct Sunday School services. The
hospitality shown us is splendid.
These people not only appreciate
our coming but they are interested
in the work, and this is very inspir-
ing to the leaders.
The attendance is made up large-
ly of children, just as bright and
lovable children as can be found
anywhere. Their fresh rosy cheeks
and pleasant smiles make one hap-
py to spend some time with them.
The attendance varies from twen-
.ty to thirty. It is not so large but
we hope for its growth. But why
spend a Sunday afternoon in this
way since the attendance is not so
large? Why not spend the time
leisurely and enjoy oneself? Ah
No ! True happiness is only found
in service, and deep down in the
heart of each one of these precious
lives we see a great man or woman.
We know that God has a plan for
each one of their lives, and it is our
deepest desire to help them attain
to that plan, and to know their God
as a personal friend. Surely if one
soul is won to Christ our efforts will
be many times rewarded.
We earnestly hope that the
church at Stevens Hill may continue
to grow and that it may prove to be
a field from which God can call
many willing workers. The prayers
of our friends who are interested in
like work would be greatly appreci-
ated by the workers at Stevens Hill.
And we hope that others may take
advantage of like opportunities so
that the kingdom of God may come
into the lives of all peoples.

Hawaii, The Paradise of the Pacific.
The student Volunteers had charge
of the services in Chapel on the
evening of September 25. They pro-
cured Colbert H. Kurokawa, form-
erly a Buddhist, now a Christian, to
give his lecture "Hawaii, the Para-
dise of the Pacific." Mr. Kurokawa
at present is a senior in Dickinson
and he speaks the English language
remarkably well.
In the beginning of his sermon
he told us of the land of perpet-
ual spring, moonlight and music.
He said Hawaii is interesting to us
for a number of reasons:
1. As an industrial point.
2. As a military outpost.
3. As a people.
The people there compose only
a very small part of the entire pop-
ulation. They, like the Indians of
America, are yielding to civilization
and are slowly becoming extinct.
The population of Hawaii is 250-
000 of which only 50,000 are nat-
ives. The most striking thing about
the Hawaiians is their extreme sim-
plicity. They live in huts with no
furniture, eat mostly Poi — a kind of
mashed sour potatoes — and use a
vocabulary of only a few hundred
words.
He said you may forget most of
what I have said but remember this
story and duplicate it.
Hawaii being a most cosmopolitan
island has almost every religion on
24
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
the globe. Mohammed has his repre-
sentatives there, Buddha his, Con-
fucius his, and Christ his. The Mor-
mons,Roman Catholics and Christian
Scientists also have an alarming
hold on the islands. There is only
one Christian to every six people of
some other religious belief. Kura-
kawa himself was being trained to
be a Buddhist priest when a mission-
ary from America told him of Christ
He told us not to forget the miss-
ionaries and said: "Where would
I have been had it not been for that
missionary?" The Buddhists watch
the Christians very closely. When
the Christians taught the Hawai-
ians to sing "Jesus Loves Me," the
Buddhists taught them "Buddha
Loves Me." When the Christians
organized a Y. M. C. A., the Budd-
hists organized a Y. M. B. A. The
Roman Catholics at present have a
cathedral with a seating capacity
of 1500. The Mormons have just
recently erected a $500,000 temple
and brought 40,000 people of their
faith there.
As Hawaii is the gateway to the
United States and thousands of re-
ligious-sick students are coming to
America for religious truth, it is
very important that their first im-
pressions are those of Christianity.
He ended by pleading "Remember
Hawaii and Pray for Us."
Is not our responsibility to the
Hawaiians greater for having heard
this lecture? E. E. L.
The sage says: "Yesterday is
dead ; forget it. Tomorrow does not
exist: don't worry. Today is here;

Our Alumni are scattered far
and wide, rendering invaluable ser-

callings. They are also well repre-
sented on the Faculty of their Alma
Mater.
With the opening of the school
year of 1921, thirteen alumni are
members of the Faculty of Eliza-
bethtown College : thirteen disciples
of the school have become teachers
in the school. They are the follow-
ing: J. G. Meyer, '05, President of
the College; R. W. Schlosser, '11,
Vice Pres., (on leave of absence) ;
H. H. Nye, '15, Sec; L. W. Leiter,

We regret that Prof. J. I. Baugh-
er is not yet able to resume his reg-
ular work at the College. He is
slowly recovering from a severe,
prolonged attack of typhoid.
Among the latest additions to the
Cradle Roll of the Alumni Associa-
tion are : Lorna Belle Schwenk,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Schwenk, Elizabethtown, Pa.; Wm.
E. Glasmire, Jr., son of Mr.' and
Mrs. W. E. Glasmire, Hordum, Thy,
Denmark ; Dorothy Elizabeth

The first class graduated from
Elizabelhtown College consisted of
three ladies who completed the Ad-
vanced Commercial Course in 1903.
They were then known as Elizabeth
Eby, Luella G. Fogelsanger and
Bessie M. Rider. Our Alumni Asso-
ciation is proud of these ladies who
have set up and are realizing high
standards of efficiency in their
chosen spheres of service.
Elizabeth Eby Byer has for some
years been known as the wife of
Prof. Frank J. Byer, and the mother
of Paul Byer. Prof. Byer spent ten
years in Chicago and vicinity dur-
ing which time Prof. Byer was
graduated from the Mount
Morris College, Bethany Bible
School, and Columbia College of
Expression. He was a teacher in
Bethany Bible School for several
years and later President of Hebron
Seminary, Nokesville, Va. Mrs.
Byer is his faithful helper and has
come back to her Alma Mater. We
welcome them to College Hill.
Thev and the J. Walter Thomas
family occury the new dwelling
erected on College Hill.
Luella G. Fogelsanger has for
some years past been a member of
the Faculty of Juniata College. She
spent the Summer of 1920 at Moody
Bible Institute, Chicago, and also
visited many points of, interest in the
city. She represents the class of
1903 in the realm of continued
school life.
The class of 1903 has a represen-
tative on the mission field as well
as in the realm of the home and of
the school, as already noted. Bes-
sie M. Rider has been a missionary
nurse in Ping Ting Hsien, Shansi,
China, since March, 1916. Her fur-
lough is due in the Spring of 1922
and we trust many of our Alumni
may have the privilege of hearing
her speak while she is in America.
She was ill with typhus fever for
about four weeks during the past
Summer, but has fully recovered
and has since nursed Dr. Horning,
who had contracted the same di-
sease.
During the past Summer Bessie
Rider enjoyed a vacation of seven
weeks in the beautiful mountain
regions near one of our mission sta-

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
tions, Liao Chou. She was on Dr.
Homing's case as nurse at this mis-
sion station for three weeks of the
seven. China has most beautiful
scenery, and, as Miss Rider sat med-
itating in the midst of nature's beau-
ties, she wrote to some of her
friends. From a letter dated Aug.
11, 1921, we quote the following:
"It is so peaceful as I sit here at
the foot of the immense rock in the
ravine and face the wonderful
mountain just before me and the
beautiful crystal spring water fall-
ing in such vast volume from the
cliff. I love this spot. But I must
soon leave it. These blessed moun-
tain experiences may not continu-
ally be ours. There are duties to
face which I trust I may be able to
perform better because of the in-
spiration received from Nature's
teachings. Oh, that I might be able
to convey streams of living water to
a thirsty world as this beautiful
stream conveys the flow from its
great fountainhead to needy places
in the earth."
E. M. Hertzler, '20, is again a
student at the College. The Hertz-
ler family and the C. H. Royer, '21,
family occupy the cottage on Col-
lege Hill. At a recent council meet-
ing in the Mechanicsburg church,
E. M. Hertzler was elected to the
ministry.
B. Mary Royer, '21, who spent
last year as a student at the College,
is scheduled to sail from New York
on Oct. 18, in company with Elsie
Shickel, of Virginia. They are eag-
er to take up their work on the In-
dia field, and the best wishes of our
Association attend them.
Mrs. J. J. Heilman (nee Buckwal-
ter,) '05, is one of our generous-
hearted alumni. Since the home of
Miss Elizabeth Myer, at Bareville,
Pa., has been broken up by the
death of Miss Myer's sister, the J.
J. Heilman family have opened
their doors and offered Miss Myer
the use of several rooms in their
home at 724 N. Lime St., Lancaster,
Pa. This provides a quiet retreat
for Miss Myer whenever she is away
from Elizabethtown and her duties
at the College.
Prof. I. J. Kreider, '16, and Mrs.
Kreider, formerly the College Art
teacher, gave inspiring messages to
the students at the regular Chapel
exercises on Sept. 23. They are
about to enroll as students at Beth-
any Bible School, Chicago. Prof.
Kreider was principal of the Den-
ver, Pa., High school last year. He
was elected to the ministry by the
Ephrata church sometime during
the Summer. Prof, and Mrs. Krei-
der rendered splendid service as
teachers in the Ephrata Daily Va-
cation Bible School in June.
Elizabethtown College always
welcomes interest in her progress.
Recently one of her loyal alumni,
Mr. A. P. Geib, of the class of 1909,
showed his interest in a substantial
way by donating part of his private
library to the College. The collec-
tion consists of standard works on
New Testament, education, and
philosophy. Mr. Geib is a former
Lancaster County boy but for a num-

Everybody out to see the big
game tonight. Yes, we are ready
to start! "Play Ball!"
Such is the spirit existing on Col-
lege Hill at present. What is more
refreshing than to get out of doors
after a hard day of mental work to
enjoy two hours of thrilling experi-
ence, such as playing a deuce game
tennis, when every nerve is set and
one is doing his best to win. Some
students go to school, and get to
work using their mental abilities
from five in the morning till ten at
night, not losing more time than to
e*at. and sometimes almost forgett-
ing to do that. They get no pleas-
ure out of their school life and are
slowly but surely on the road to
physical collapse. They become
pale and dull simply because they
do not have enough exercise to keep
the blood circulating.
Watch the boy who is regularly
taking his exercise, coming in from
the base ball field or from tennis,
happy, refreshed, and ready to get
at the job before him, which will
seem as play. Many are the stu-
dents who go through school not
taking enough exercise, only to find
themselves incapable to fulfill life's
duty after their school days are ov-
er. Elizabethtown College stands
for the development of the physical,
intellectual, and spiritual sides of
life. Let us not place all the em-
phasis on one or two sides, but give
each one proper attention.
The Athletic Association met for
the first time this year, Monday,
Sept. 12, at which time the follow-
ing officers were chosen for the
year: Pres., Daniel Myers; V. Pres.,
Clarence Sollenberger; Sec, Mar-
garet Oellig; Treas., Nathan Meyer.
Walter Longenecker was chosen
for track, Clarence Sollenberger
as baseball manager; Pierce Brandt
tennis. The results of "Solly" have
been seen already as he has cleaned
the courts and made them ready for
many "Love" games to be played.
In baseball several hotly contest-
ed games have been played, one in
which the school beat the Seniors
5 to 4. The Seniors defeat was due
mainly to the loose playing of the
infield. However, it was thrilling
from beginning to end. The batter-

Last but not least of the athletic
activities is track. Mr. Brandt, the
self capable of that position. Watch
out, there are great things ahead
for track. This is a sport in which
everyone can participate. We are
expecting soon to have relay races,
high and broad jumping, pole vault-
ing, and cross country runs. Clear
manager, has already proved him- the track for they are coming!
Dumor anb Clippings
When truth is in your way you
are on the wrong road.
Boys Is Boys.
Johnnie — "I wish I was Tommy
Jones."
Mother — "Why? You are stron-
ger than he is, you have a better
home, more toys, and more pocket
money."
Johnnie — "I know, but he can
wiggle his ears, — Christian Advo-
cate.
Thru the sunset of hope, like the
shapes of a dream,
What paradise islands of glory
beam !
"Hey Rodney, look here ! I
weigh three pounds more'n you."
"Aw g'wan, y're cheatin', Skinny.
You're got y'r hands in y'r pock-
ets."— American Boy.
Talent is not required for grumb-
ling; any one can grumble without
even practicing.
"That fellow was an impudent
fraud. How did he manage to
weedle money out of you?"
"Oh, John, he told me such a
sad, pitiful tale about his poor wife
who was a widow with six little
orphan children."
No Royal Road to the English
Language.
An intelligent Frenchman was
studying the English language.
"When I discovered that if I was
quick I was fast," said he, "and
that if I was tied I was fast, if I
spent too freely I was fast and that
not to eat was to fast, I was dis-
couraged. But when I came across
the sentence, "The first one won one
prize ; I was tempted to give up
trying to learn English."
Bats, a Ball and a Fan.
"Isn't our pitcher grand?" said
the enthusiastic young lady at the
ball game. "He hits the bats no
matter where they hold them.
The time is coming when it will
take more than a stuffed head, a
long tailed coat and a white neck-
tie to make a preacher. — Christian
Cynosure.

Half the pleasure of traveling is in the journey. The other
half is in reaching the destination.
When you start to save money, much of the pleasure comes
from the realization that you are traveling forward. There is
added satisfaction when a definite sum has been reached.
Tho you save but small amounts
'Tis REGULARITY that counts.

The Pollyanna Attitude.
Jean Stratton Porter has written
a book which should and undoubt-
edly will live. The unique charac-
ter around which her book centers
is Pollyanna. This is a poor orphan
girl who has learned to play the
game of gladness. She tastes the
sugar even in burned cookies. Her
world is filled with the fragrance of
orange blossoms. She sees roses
when her neighbors see thorns. She
sings joyfully because she sees the
rainbow of God's love in every
cloud of misfortune. To her a man
with rheumatism should be thank-
ful that he does not have a broken
neck. In a few words, she believes
in not trying to take the beam out of
her eye if it is a sunbeam.
The vital question for each one of
us is, "Have I assumed the Polly-
anna attitude toward life?" If not,
perhaps I am nervous and worried
about some brick that is sometime
in the future destined to land on my
cranium? An authority on nervV
culture finds the percentage of
Americans with diseased nerves to
be comparatively higher than that
of any other nation. Why? For
the simple reason that our attitude
toward our daily activities imposed
by our occupations is of a too seri-
ous type. Many a promising youth
has thus denied himself of a buoyant
disposition and the consequent cap-
acity for life-long usefulness in the
state or' the church.
It has been well said by a gifted
writer that "the man who laughs is
a doctor without a diploma ; his face
does more good in a sick-room than
a bushel of powders or a gallon of
bitter draughts. People are always
glad to see him. Their hands ins-
tinctively go half way out to meet
his clasp, while they turn involuntar-
ily from the clammy touch of the
dyspeptic who speaks as though he
had inward pain. The man with
the internal smile laughs you out of
your faults while you never dream
of being offended at him ; and you
know not what a pleasant world you
live in, until he points out the sunny
streaks on its pathway."
A sense of wit and humor destroys
the cobwebs of the brain and re-
moves the ennui of the nerves. It
is the religion of laughter, — not
frivolity or levity, — but clean,
thought-provoking laughter, that
should be frequently engaged in.
Oh ! that out of our student body
may come whole-souled, cheery,
jovial people, who will go thru the
world like a choir of Pollyannas
filling every nook and cranny about
them with exhilarating echoes and
with ;tne irrepressible joy of their
natures.
Some one in describing one of
these good-humored characters said,
"It seemed as if he had in his blood
the jollity of a hundred Christmas
eves and the warmth and volume of
their roaring Yule logs upon the
OUR COLLEGE TIMES 1 1
hearth." More to be desired is And hands that are swift and will-
such a cheerful and contented spirit ing,
than the wealth of the Indies or any Than to gnap the delicate slender
honor which the world esteems threads
great.
"Better to weave in the web of life 01 our curious llves asunder,
a bright and golden filling, And then blame heaven for the
And to do God's will with a ready tangled ends
heart And sit and grieve and wonder."
GRATITUDE
Be grateful for the kindly friends that walk
along your way;
Be grateful for the skies of bleu that smile
from day to day ;
Be grateful for the health you own, the work
you find to do,
For round about you there are men less fortu-
nate than you.
Be grateful for the growing trees, the roses
soon to bloom,
The tenderness of kindly hearts that shared your
days of gloom ;
Be grateful for the morning dew, the grass
beneath your feet,
The soft caresses of your babes and all their
laughter sweet.
Acquire the grateful habit, learn to see how blest
you are,
How much there is to gladden life, how little
life to mar !
And what if rain shall fall to-day and you with
grief are sad ;
Be grateful that you can recall the joys that
you have had.

Thanksgiving — Where ?
William Bates was a friendless,
fatherless boy. He had come from
Arkansas at eighteen to Lane Allen
Academy at Whitehall, a beautiful
provincial town in Southern Mis-
souri. He occasioned little remark
beyond that prompted by his un-
obtrusive manner and his strict at-
tention to his duties. Limited fi-
nances obliged him to work at one
of the mills three hours each week-
day afternoon. Ere many weeks
had passed, however, there were
others beside Professor Talbot, the
principal, who noticed traits in the
young student that gave hope of the
future useful man.
Of all the studies in his program
William liked philosophy best.
Several members of the philosophy
class beside William took an active
part in the discussions which were
frequent in the tri-weekly recitat-
ions presided over by their sleepy
old instructor, Dr. Wiley. George
Cowden, an ambitious young man
from a ranch on Pilot Knob, at first
took a leading part in these argu-
ments.
As time went by a seemingly in-
different girl, Adaline Stevens,
whose brother Ralph chummed with
Bates, and who seemed to have come
to school merely to spend some of
the money her father was rapidly
accumulating on his thousand-acre
ranch, took an increasing interest
in the topics which arose while the
class was considering Plato. She
liked to challenge the ideas ad-
vanced by Cowden and generally
took sides with the less self-assert-
ive Bates. Though she rarely pre-
pared her lessons, it was evident
that the discussions awakened some-
thing noble in her nature, and that
her serious ideas of life and society
were not of the butterfly kind.
Bates, it was evident, prepared ev-
ery lesson conscientiously and his
progress was noticeable; he seemed
eager to escape the curse of error
and to enter the realm of truth.
His ideas cleared day by day. He
had a feeling of wonder as he list-
ened to the opinions expressed by
Adaline Stevens and he knew he was
being led to better ideals. One day
as he waited for Dr. Wiley at his'
home Miss Stevens entered, and,
dur'ng the half hour that ensued be-
fore the Professor arrived, William
told tnt girl more about his purpose
in life and the things that lay h:. his
way than he ha I told her brother
Ralph in the six weeks he hac
roomed with him.
On a Sunday afternoon ramble
William made a chance acquaint-
ance with a blind man named Brown
living just across the range of hills
at whose base lay Whitehall. Will-
iam discovered that the man was an
enthusiastic lover of history, that
from being a prosperous farmer he
was reduced to making a meager
living for himself, his son, and las
aged housekeeper, and that the on-
ly joy life now afforded him was
to receive an occasional visit from
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
13
some sympathetic friend who would
read to him an hour from his favor-
ite author. It became to William
from henceforth a matter of relig-
ion as well as of pure joy to call on
the old man as often as his duties
permitted and to read to him from
Rollin's Ancient History or Macaul-
ay's Lays of Ancient Rome. He had
never failed Mr. Brown when he
had set a date for a call.
Bates had just sent a note of ac-
ceptance in reply to an invitation
from Brown that he spend to-mor-
row, Thanksgiving, with him and
thus make the day's experiences a
green spot in the memory of both.
An hour later Ralph Stevens hand-
ed William the following note and
requested him to read it immediate-
ly and give him a verbal answer.
Lane Allen Academy,
Whitehall, Mo.,
Nov. 23, '21
To William Bates:
Father and Mother say it will be
agreeable to them if we invite one
of our school acquaintances for
Thanksgiving dinner at our home
at Deer Lodge Ranch. Will you
favor us with your presence on that
occasion? We will have a royal
celebration of the three hundreth
anniversary of the first Pilgrim
Thanksgiving. You can go with us
to-night at five when father meets
us with the automobile ; or you can
come on the morning train which
reaches Compton Mills at ten-thirty.
Across the fields from the station
directly west is our house with a
flag floating over the east wing.
Ralph Stevens
Adaline Stevens
William had not realized till that
moment how hard it would be to
refuse an invitation to the Stevens
house. In his spirit there was a
struggle, and Ralph by his side was
trying to read the boy's thoughts
from the expression upon his face.
He urged him to accept the invita-
tion. He argued that Mr. Brown
was considerate and would forgive
him for not coming. But William
could not dismiss from his mind the
picture of the blind man spending
Thanksgiving Day in loneliness
when others were rejoicing. He
definitely declined the invitation.
As William Bates entered th^
blind man's home next day he found
Adaline Stevens chatting with Mr.
Brown in the greatest good humor.
She at once explained to her sur
priced fellow-student in philosophy
that she had known of his visits to
the Brown home and that she had
arranged with the latter to put him
to the test with the two invitations.
She was glad he had proved true ;
and now if Wiiliam agreed she
would take them all to her home in
their large car v hich stood outside.
After dinner William could read
from Rollin for an hour, thus mak-
ing it an ideal day for Mr. Brown.
Vhy weary you any longer with
this tedious story : As is so often
the case in life, the path of duty
which William thought meant sac-
rifice proved tha path to happiness.
Willi&m never forgot the lesson* as
he never forgot any lesson. Did he
and Adaline forget each other alt-
er their school days were ever? Oh
no ! In a family Bible in their new
home Adaline has written opposite
14
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
the verse in Luke, "Seek ye first the
kingdom, etc." this note; "Thanks-
giving Day, 1921."
Life's Signboards
Life after all is just a journey.
For some of us it is short and seem-
ingly uneventful. For others it is
long and filled with rich experiences.
And for still others the journey is
fretted with trials and difficulties.
Whoever we may be, we are ever
traveling toward some destination.
Have you ever taken a trip?
You answer, "What a foolish ques-
tion ! Surely I have taken many
trips." But if I were to ask you to
describe your experiences while tak-
ing the trip, probably you would
reply in words something like this,
"Of course, I first got my ticket.
Everyone knows the futility of
thinking of taking a trip without
paying for it. Then having settled
myself comfortably, I awaited with
pleasure the experiences which I
knew my trip would bring."
"First, I studied my fellow pass-
engers and surmised and wondered
what hopes and sorrows made up
their lives. Having conjectured as
long as it gave me satisfaction, I
then turned my attention to the out-
side world to feast my eyes on Na-
ture's ever changing panorama.
Beautiful meadows blooming pro-
fusely with wild flowers first met
my eyes; then fields of waving
grain. Following in quick success-
ion were undulating hills, woods and
virgin forests, murmuring streams
and sparkling brooks." And oer-
haps. you would say, "Still my des-
cription is not complete. For all a-
long the way I noticed various signs
and signals each having a specific
meaning; and I passed over numer-
ous bridges. Then stations, some
small and unpretentious and others
large and imposing, flew by in rap-
id succession. At last as the famil-
iar landmarks came into view, I
knew I was nearing home. Then
just as the sun set in all its glory ov-
er the western horizon, its varied
colors' blending perfectly, and its
flaming rays lighting the sky, I
reached home."
Life can be compared and likened
to a trip. The stations one passes
along the way are infancy, child-
hood, manhood, prime and old age.
At the first station we have a short
eventful wait. At the next station
our wait becomes more eventful and
more interesting. And so on, the
wait at each station becomes more
eventful and filled with greater ex-
periences and more trying problems.
At the last station our wait takes
on a retrospective nature. Time has
mellowed and made rich our life's
experiences. We are ever looking
back upon life's ups and downs, its
joys and its sorrows, its heartaches
and its compensations. At whatev-
er station we stop, the wait will
sometimes be interesting and full of
enjoyment. Then there are times
when we will think, Oh how weary
is this wait, and how tired and lone-
ly I am.
Fleeting time is the train on which
we pass through life. The fare or
ticket we pay in terms of the sacri-
fices We make. The signals and
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
15
signboards we pass while on life's
journey are many. We ofttimes
encounter danger signals in the form
of some friend's advice, and if we
are wise we will heed it. Another
signal which continually waves be-
fore us is Opportunity. And again
if we are wise, we will heed her
signal. Still another signal, this one
labeled "Conscience," flashes itself
across our vision every step of our
journey.
Faith, hope, trust, service, — all
are signboards placed all along our
pathway, and we must grasp their
meanings now if we would ever
grasp them, for they pass by with
amazing rapidity. Then there are
bridges which must be crossed,
typical of some grave decision ; or
dangerous trestles which must be
passed, typical of some of the risks
one must sometimes take.
The blooming meadows we pass
on our journey signify the pleasure
we can derive from life. The rug-
ged hills are typical of our ups and
downs. The murmuring streams
and sparkling brooks are ever sig-
nificant of contentment and enjoy-
ment, while the woods and forests
tvpify our trying problems and situ-
ations.
Life, then, after all is just a jour-
ney, but how all important is this
Journey; for whether long or short
it will take us somewhere. Then
when we are nearing the last station
and we turn our faces to the west
and see life fading away from us
in all its glory and sublimity, why
should we not smilingly say, "Now
I'm home." L. F
"College Education"
(As a Freshman in Public Speaking
Sees It)
Upon my primary accession to
the rostrum, fellow students, I pro-
pose to dissertate, analyze, and pre-
sent a diligent disquisition upon the
familiar and opportune subject of
a "College Education."
From this topic, upon which I am
about to deliberate, may be infer-
red manifold trains of thought, so
I shall contract the scope of this
general problem to its utilitarian
and resultant factors.
We must be careful to limit our-
selves scrupulously to what has a
direct bearing upon oitr actual dis-
course.
Deeming this subject to be one un-
worthy of negation, and, further-
more, not wishing to elaborate my
conversational ability, I shall refrain
from probing into any detrimental
obstacles in a College Education.
The reason we attend this institu-
tion of high morals and good prin-
ciples, for young men and ladies, is
because education is good and plen-
ty here. In fact, education is the
only commodity lying around loose
in this world and the sole thing of
which a person may have as much
as he desires to haul away. Every-
thing else is locked in a trunk with
the key and hinges inside.
The value of knowledge is not de-
termined by the means of acquisi-
tion, but by the tenacity with which
you grip it.
A college education generally in-
vests one with internal quality, and
clothes one with an external veneer.
But many deviate from this prevai-
16
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
ent rule and convey with them noth-
ing but a supirficial show, while
others of a more sensible and modest
type rontmue to hold only the in-
trinsic attributes.
Do not deduce from this state-
ment that a College transforms a
fool into a gentlemen or lady, —
whatever the gender may be. The
father of a fool should not send it
to a college, the proper place for
such a thing is in a circus.
Classmates, let this be my part-
ing admonition: When education
is passed around you should not be
bashful, but reach right in and take
a big helping every time. Be al-
ways on the alert to get your share.

Lecture Notes
All our E. C. teachers should
have heard the first number of our
lecture course this year, a lecture
by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise on the
subject "The Task of the Teacher
in a Democracy." Here are just a
few of his most pregnant statements
for your benefit, teachers.
"Teachers are the real guardians
of a city."
Henry Van Dyke said, "Teachers
are the poorest paid but the best
rewarded of all public servants."
Dr. Wise added, '"Teachers need
less reward and more pay."
"Teachers should feel that the
class-room ought to be a miniature
democracy, not a miniature des-
potism.
"The teacher must not suppress
the child. Education is to evoke
the growing mind and spirit.
"Don't try to make all pupils like
yourself. Perfection is inimitable 1
Rather have Jack Smith be a num-
ber one Jack Smith than a fifth-class
Lincoln.
"We teach many branches but
not many roots" — Emerson' "There
are so many subjects to teach that
we forget the object of education."
The school should have two aims in
educating the child : "Intellectual
Individuation" and "Moral Social-
ization."
"Ten millions of Americans think
they think, when they only rehash
someone's second or third-class
thoughts. I'd rather think my very
own thoughts, though second or
third-rate, than some one else's first-
rate thoughts. There is no one in
the world good enough to do my
thinking for me. Don't let the Pub-
lic Ledger do your thinking for you !
"The trouble with Americans is I
not that they do not think together '
enough, but that they too often think
together and act apart, whereas we
should think apart and act together. J
When men think together (mob
thinking) they don't think at all! '
"America is a spirit.
The work of the teacher is Ameri-
canization. Americanization is
spiritual, and inward in nature. It
is not birth but worth ; not descent
but aspiration; not racial ancestry
but spiritual, personal achievement.
"American birth is not a badge
of superiority. Whenever a man
boasts of his ancestry you may be
sure the best half of him is under-
ground. To have a family tree is
to remind one of the time when one's
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
17
Simian ancestry climbed in its
branches !
"I hate uniformity. You can't
level up. Leveling is always down.
We don't have uniformity by out-
ward similarity but by inward un-
ity. God didn't want us all to be
alike. One of anyone of us is
enough! Standards lift up, but
standardization pulls down.
"America's reparation should
mean America with the world and
for the world in times of peace as
well as war.
"America is a shrine to which we
should bring our lives. The world
is coming to lay upon it a peace-off-
ering.
"The future rebuilder of the De-
mocracy must be taught the unity
and brotherhood of all peoples.
That is the task of the teacher in
this Democracy.
College IKkws
Miss Hykes — "Prof. Meyer will
you please sign my excuse cards?
I want to go home to see the optimist
my eyes are poor."
Prof. Meyer — "I believe it is the
oculist you ought to see."
Prof. Nye — "I wonder if there is
some one in here who would like
to work his way through college by
swinging the clock pendulum?"
Prof. E. Meyar in Chorus — "Those
people who are standing in the front
row aren't all there."
Miss Trimmer — "When you girls
sing the College song, sing the part
'we love thy sons so noble' with all
your might, and sing 'thy daughters
brave and true' very softly."
Prof. H/arley — "It is dangerous
to generalize too much."
The night after the outing N.
Meyer was heard to say in his sleep,
"Hey, Sherman, we are ready for
the third journey!"
Prof. Hoffer — "How do you draw
a projection to a plane?"
Miss Horst — "By hanging a per-
pendicular."
A Student — "Those Myers are
all a mess."
Miss R. Minnich quickly — "I'm
not."

of the fact that two of our number
have settled an all-important ques-
tion.)

exclaimed: "Is that starfish?"
Young Men's Welfare Association
The Y. M. C. A. has been doing
splendid work this year, both in
creating and fostering a spirit of
unity among the boys, and also in
raising the standards and ideals of
each individual member. Its so-
cials and excellent programs have
been a great factor in bringing this
about.
The programs are varied and are
always interesting and profitable.
Several of the Professors have giv-
en talks. On October 21 Prof. Ez-
ra Wenger gave an address on
"Thrills and Emergencies." His
talk was very timely and abounded
with humor and truth. The associa-
tion has scheduled a number of simi-
lar lectures for this school year.
Hallowe'en Social
Hallowe'en night may have been
dreary in some places because of
the showers, but not on College Hill.
The faculty invited the students to
a social in the gymnasium at eight
o'clock P. M. Promptly at eight
the students began to march down
the steps into the beautifully dec-
orated room. The floor was covered
with leaves, and branches with
beautifully colored oak leaves were
fastened all around the wall. Corn-
fodder and pumpkin faces were al-
so much in evidence.
Games and contests were indulged
in until nine-thirty. Then refresh-
ments were served and enjoyed. All
students were in their rooms by ten-
thirty, telling their roommates how
much they enjoyed the evening.
Senior News.
When Mr. Harshman, elected
chairman of the senior class,
changed his course it was necessary
for him to resign his chairmanship.
The result of the second election is
that Mr. Ephraim Hertzler is now
the chairman of the senior class.
On the evening of 'October 26. at
four-thirty, the senior class grouped
in the front of Alpha Hall and start-
ed to hike to Keener's Wood above
town. After playing a number of
games the class enjoyed the refresh-
ments prepared and served by the
social committee. After supper the
toastmaster took charge and the
class enjoyed stories, jokes, and
music. At seven forty-five the class
started back to College Hill and by
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
19
eight-thirty every member of the
class was busily engaged, preparing
their lessons for the next day.
A Day In The Hills.
"Oh what a glory doth this world
put on
For him who doth with fervent
heart go forth
Under the bright and glorious sky,
and looks
On duties well performed and
days well spent."
Saturday, October 15. was a big
day for the students, especially for
the ladies since they assisted the
kitchen force early in the morning
to prepare the noon lunch. After
all was ready; i. e., the lunch and
other preliminary arrangements
which should naturally be taken
care of in a co-educational school,
the group started to the station.
The 10:29 train took us to Cone-
wago. The Conewago hills are an
ideal place to study nature in every
sense of the word. Those who spent
part of their time studying nature
by themselves soon discovered that
they were at a loss, so the next
thing to do was to search for an
assistant. The next big feature was
the dinner served in Cafeteria style.
Dinner being over the students ex-
plored different parts of the hills
until the time arrived to return to
College Hill.
An outing of this nature is valu-
able not only for the growth of the
social side of life, which goes a great
way in the development of charac-
ter, but also for the physical deve-
lopment which incidentally takes
place. In addition to these values
is the benefit to the intellectual side
of life. It is said, "Constant occupa-
tion prevents rust", but too constant
occupation of the mind not only pre-
vents rust but creates ennui. This
mental condition demands a change
which can be gotten only by laying
books aside and by going out and
appreciating nature.
From the outing just described,
all came back physically tired but
mentally very alert and active, with
new zeal and inspiration to go forth
and pursue their work more in the
spirit of play. — J. S.
Notice
Due to sight or oversight, since
the last issue of our 'Times' our
school has had the most phenomenal
growth ever known in its history —
an increase in enrollment from 19
(?) to 190!
Some folks save money, others
send their children to college.
The best time to be on time is a
little before time.
Note of Appreciation.
The College makes this formal and
grateful acknowledgment of Mr.
Lewis L. Lininger's service to the
cause. He gave his skillful service
as an electrician at a reasonable
rate for the wiring of the Fairview
Apartments building, the new dou-
ble dwelling and the College chapel.
20
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
He further favored the College by
securing at a big discount the ex-
pensive electric light fixtures need-
ed for the above-mentioned equip-
ment. After securing the consent
of the electric light company he per-
sonally attended to the removal of
the unsightly poles from the front
to the rear of the grounds.
The Library.
At the opening of the present coll-
egiate year a change in the adminis-
tration of the Library went into
effect. Mr. L. D. Rose, an alumnus
of the class of 1911, was put in
charge and he devotes all his time
to the improvement and expansion
of the Library. A full-time Librar-
ian not only makes supervision more
effective but also makes the Libra-
ry more serviceable to facutly and
students. Uniform quiet is observed
during library hours.
During vacation the Librarian
visited the leading college and uni-
versity libraries in the East. He re-
turned with scores of suggestions
which he is busily engaged in
making effective, determined to
make the Library a vital factor in
our college life.
Soon after the beginning of the
year, Mr. Rose issued a pamphlet
"Concerning the Library" which was
distributed to teachers and students.
Timely suggestions were given on
using the Library to our mutual
best interest.
The Library is one of the busiest
places on the Hill. Many of the
students spend every vacant period
reading magazines and newspapers,
or doing some assigned reference
work.
Books have been received through
Senator Penrose, J. Kurtz Miller,
Frederick, Md., Congressman Griest,
Amos P. Geib, '09, Montclair, N. J.
E. C.'s Notorious Historian
Why was the period between A.
D. 500 and A. D. 1200 known as the
Dark Ages?"

Two of the exchanges we desire
to acknowledge are green numbers:
Juniata Echo and Oak Leaves, both
being dedicated to the Freshman
class. The Campus Times from
balmy California presents its bud-
get of news with an interesting
sketch of La Verne's new President.
We are pleased to acknowledge
receipt of the following college
periodicals: The Spectator, The
Ursinus Weekly, The Campus Times
Juniata Echo, Oak Leaves and Beth-
any Bible School Bulletin.
This number of Our College
Times is being forwarded to a num-
ber of periodicals which have not
been on our list previously. We
hope to have responses from every
student publication that receives
this number.

IRelicuous fiotes
B. Mary Royer who was home on
furlough from India, gave us a
farewell message in the College
Chapel on the evening of October 9.
The College quartette carried us
into the right spirit for receiving
Sister Royer's message by singing
"Come Spirit Come."
This is the message : "Fellowship
is so essential for individuals, and
it can be found nowhere but in the
Christian Religion. A Christian is a
unique somebody, if he were not
unique he would not be a Christian.
Speaking in a human sense the
missionary life means separation,
but it is a great thought to think of
the home-coming which shall some
day take place. Provision for this
place was made by the Master. We
do not know the geographical loca-
tion of heaven, but we know it is
with our Lord. We should count it
an opportunity and a privilege that
we can help others to this place.
God's plan was that this work was to
be carried on through human
agency.
Christ came for two reasons:
first, because of his love for lost
souls; secondly, to do God's will,
for He prayed that the Father's will
should be done. Now the Lord
sends you and me, for we are part-
ners with Him in this business.
After spending several years in
the foreign field and then returning,
several comparisons are made. One
requirement of the people of Ameri-
ca is to acquaint themselves with
the conditions of the world and find
out its needs.
Blessings come to us, not to keep
them for ourselves, but to pass them
on to others. Our Christianity must
be kept moving or we will find our-
selves stricken with spiritual morti-
fication.
The Lord will hold us responsible
for others. Ignorance of their con-
dition and needs will not excuse us.
The Lord has given us the Gospel
and now he expects us to carry it
to those who are not as fortunate as
we are.
One thing which Sister Royer
wanted to impress upon the home
folks was to seek after a keener
sense of relationship to God. At
the close of the message Sister Roy-
er expressed her appreciation for
what her friends did for her while
in the homeland. For the folks on
College Hill to know her, was to
love her.
Stevens Hill Revival
"But ye shall receive power, when
the Holy Spirit is come upon you :
and ye shall be my witnesses both
in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
Samaria, and unto the uttermost
part of the earth." — Act 1 :8.
When Jesus Christ gave his dis-
ciples this promise just before His
ascension into heaven, he did not ex-
clude Christian people of the twen-
tieth century. When he said that
Christian people under the influence
22
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
of the Holy Spirit were to be His
witnesses unto the uttermost 'parts
of the earth He did not exclude Stev-
ens Hill.
Because the workers in the Eliza-
bethtown district realized that there
were many persons in and about
Stevens Hill who had not taken ad-
vantage of God's plan of redemp-
tion, whose lives could be so much
more useful if they had, a series of
meetings was opened for this pur-
pose.
The meetings opened October 16,
and closed October 30. Elder W. H.
Miller of Elizabethtown, pastor of
Stevens Hill congregation, was the
evangelist. Alvin Brightbill, one of
the students at the college, was
chorister. The singing was fine and
did much to make the meetings a
success. The splendid spirit which
characterized the meetings in the
beginning continued throughout the
two weeks. The people of town,
and the students as well, are to be
commended for their faithful at-
tendance, and for the inspiration
which they gave the regular work-
ers and the pastor, Elder Miller.
God's Holy Spirit convicted souls as
Elder Miller boldly declared the
Truth, and on Sunday evening, Oct.
23, one soul was convinced that to
accept her Savior was the highest
and best thing to do.
The second week was a strenous
one for Elder Miller. He visited
in very many of the homes and, be-
cause of the great distance between
them, it often required considerable
walking. Although no more were
converted, the workers feel that the
Holy Spirit abides there and that
an inconceivable amount of good
has been done.
On Sunday, October 30, a pro-
gram was rendered by the Sunday
School children. After several reci-
tations and exercises by the child-
ren, Professor H. H. Nye, the dis-
trict Sunday School secretary, gave
the main address which was appre-
ciated and much enjoyed.
The Sunday evening service was
well attended, and was very impres-
sive. Several selections were given
by a mixed quartet from the college.
The meetings closed and the work-
ers feel that they can continue their
work with greater zeal, and with a
deeper love for lost souls, because
of them. R. M.
Chapel Echoes
There is no other position more
noble than to be a pioneer for God.
We need men to launch into the un-
known truth.
It is impossible to do the will of
God without the help of Christ.
The perfectness of a circle does
not depend upon the vastness of its
area, but upon its center; neither
does the integrity of a life depend
upon the vastness of experiences,
but upon the heart.
The heart determines the life.
Some people look at the penny sj

Some people look at the immedi-

There are some people waiting

Not every great opportunity

It is interesting to note where the
Alumni of the early years of our Col-
lege are scattered in the pursuit of
their various lines of work. The
Senior Class of 1904 consisted of
seven members. Three of these still
reside in Elizabethtown; viz., Mrs.
F. W. Groff, S. B. Kiefer and I. E.
Shoop. These are contributing in a
large way to the best there is in
home, business, and church life.
J. B. Henry resides at Rheems. He
has charge of a number of men
working in the quarries at that place
All of our Alumni sympathize with
the Henry family in the loss of their
little daughter through an automo-
bile accident. Mrs. Henry, who was
also injured in this accident, is
slowly improving.
H. K. Garman and family are
doing pastoral work in Philadelphia.
Their relatives and friends are glad
to welcome them to Elizabethtown
when vacation time and other oc-
casions permit their coming.
H. H. Lehman and family reside
in Pasadena, California. Mr. Leh-
man is cashier of the largest bank
in that city.
W. K. Gish and family are located
near Alderson, Alberta, Canada.
Their nearest town is nine miles dis-
tant. Their oldest child died during
the influenza epidemic. Vernon,
Arlene and Herbert are happy in
their northern home.
Three of our alumni are on Coll-
ege Hill this year as seniors in the
A. B. Course. Anna Wolgemuth.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
'08, our worthy Editor of the
"TIMES" this year, has returned to
complete her college work. She was
a student at Bethany Bible School
during the past two years. Supera
Martz, '19, and E. M. Hertzler, '20,
will also complete their college work
in 1922.
There is another A. B. senior who
has come to us from Bethany Bible
School. This is Wm. Willoughby,
a native of New Mexico. Mrs. Lill-
ian Falkenstein Willoughby, '11, is
the loyal alumnus who has directed
this new student toward our school.
The Willoughby family occupies
rooms in Memorial Hall.
About three-fourths of the popu-
lation of Denmark use the bicycle
as their most common means of trav-
el. W. E. Glasmire, '10, finds the
bicycle very useful in getting about
in pursuit of church duties.
John F. Graham, '19, who has
been a student at Bethany Bible
School for several years, spent his
vacation, for the most part, in Pen-
nsylvania. He worked in two Daily
Vacation Bible Schools, serving as
principle of one in Maryland. Dur-
ing October he conducted evangel-
istic services at Earlville, Pa., in his
home congregation. There were
fourteen converts. He expects to
continue evangelistic work for a few
months and then return to Bethany
Bible School.
Nora Reber Hollenberg, '13, and
husband are stationed at Vada,
Thana Dist., India. They have been
in charge of the station since last
March because of the scarcity of
workers. After some of the work-
ers on furlough return to their work,
the Hollenbergs will be able to en-
gage in language study more stead-
ily. They occupy a cozy bungalow
surrounded by mango trees and are
enjoying their new India home.
George Capetanios, '16 is conduct-
ing evangelistic services for the
Church of Christ, Lancaster, Pa.
He has charge of a pastorate in En-
dicott, N. Y. He kindly remembered
his Alma Mater with a visit in com-
pany with his little daughter, Helen.
His address to the student body was
highly appreciated.
Robert Becker, '14, is employed
by The Big Four Railroad Co., as
stenographer in their office at Cleve-
land, Ohio.
Mrs. J. A. Buffenmyer, '07, and
two children recently visited among
relatives and friends in Lancaster
County. Mr. and Mrs. Buffenmyer
are engaged in pastoral work at
Uniontown, Fayette County, Pa.
During a recent revival conducted
by him at Potsdam, Ohio, there were
twelve converts.
Pat's Good Shot.
A son of Erin once described his
first day's shooting in the following
way. "The first bird I ever shot was
a squirrel, and the first time I hit
him I missed him altogether, and
the next time I hit him in the same
place. After that I threw him from
the tree with two stones, and he
fell into the water and was drown-
ed, and that was the first bird I ev-
er shot.

Htbletics
With the coming of autumn, the
air begins to rush from the north-
western hills. It is then that the
atmosphere is invigorating. It is
the time to keep moving in order to
keep the blood circulating. There
are different ways in which we can
accomplish this.
It seems tennis receives the most
attention as some students play in
the morning, afternoon, and evening,
even after the sun has set. We won-
der why so late in the evening?
Ask the Bechtel brothers, they know
Tennis is thus becoming more pop-
ular .-in College Hill. Students are
very eager to learn this game for it
is one which gives the proper a-
mount of exercise, besides afford-
ing a splendid opportunity to study
personalities.
Baseball, although out of season,
has been engaged in except when
the weather would not permit. Ev-
en though it has been cold at times,
yet there were interesting games
played. There were four teams or-
ganized, two first and two second
teams. The first teams were known
as the Leaguers and Professionals.
These two teams are very evenly
matched. The batteries were as
follows: Leaguers — E. Eshelman c,
Edris p. Professionals — Trimmer
c, D. Myers p. At present the
Professionals are leading. The first
game was thrilling from beginning
to end. It was only by a whirlwind
finish that the Professionals came
Out victorious 5-4. In the second
game all went well with the Leagu-
ers until the last inning, when the
Professionals began to send the ball
to all corners of the lot. In this in-
ning they scored five runs and vic-
tory, the score being 6-4. It was the
fine team work that enabled them
to triumph. The second teams,
known as the Giants and Indians, al-
so met and had very close and ex-
citing battles. The batteries were
as follows : Giants — Forney c, Jesse
Bechtel p. Indians — Hollopeter c,
I. Royer p. At this time the Giants
are leading with no defeat. Look
out, first teams, you are next!
The biggest game of the season
was played Wednesday, Oct. 26,
when the Literary Geniuses met the
Financiers for the first time this
season. With the rooters doing their
best, the teams started with Edris
pitching, Eshelman catching for the
Financiers; and D. Myers pitching,
S. Ober catching for the Literary
men. There was no doubt, after the
first few innings, about the outcome
of the contest. The Literary men
had on their batting togs and they
never let up, once they started slam-
ming the sphere. The interest of
those on the grandstand was kept at
a high pitch during the game by
some thrilling plays. Sollenberger,
3rd baseman for the Geniuses, sent
a fine one out to deep center field,
and Grubb made a spectacular run
after it up the straw-stack only to
lose the ball. Willoughby, who
played in the left garden for the
26
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
Geniuses, had forgotten his glasses
and missed Eshelman's drive, which
permitted the latter to race to sec-
ond, later scoring. The fine play-
ing of Wagner, star shortstop for
the Financiers, who scooped them
out of the ground and hurled them
to first, prevented many runs being
scored by the Geniuses. We must
not forget the pitching of D. Myers,
who had them whiffing the air by
his curves most of the time. This,
combined with the hitting of the
Geniuses, spelled defeat for the Fi-
nanciers. The final score was 8
to 4.
With the coming of autumn, track
also was revived. This is an act-
ivity which gives the body the need-
ed exercise to do its work. Although
it is not carried on very extensively
we must not forget that it is a new
form of atheletics on College Hill.
However, the students are taking
more interest in track, as is seen by
the number responding to the call of
Mr. P. Brandt, the Manager. Com-
bined with track are high and broad
jumping, and pole vaulting. There
is no doubt that the interest in this
phase of activity will increase in the
future, and we hope to see it increase
rapidly.
We must not forget the girls who
are always upholding their favorite
teams by rooting. However, they
do more than root as they have re-
ceived a new hand-ball and bat.
Now at times, instead of their being
the spectators, the boys are in the
bleachers. The interest taken by
the spectators speaks for the suc-
cess of the games. Several interest-
ing games have recently been play-
ed by the fair sex. We know they
have greater success awaiting them.
Let us watch their growth and al-
ways lend them our support.

As a Scotch regiment was march-

said another, "they're the famous

"Categorically Speaking"
Consider the case of the harmless

time for this particular species of fil-
ine quadrupeds to fall off the roof
of a tenement house, hit the rail of
the fire-escape on the fourth floor,
turn a back flip on an infringing
clothes line on the third, carrom off
a flag pole on the second, leave some
fur on the sharp edge of a flower
pot sunning on the window-ledge of
the first and land in a barrel, of brok-
en glass in the back yard, right side

a mortgage executed on any of its
nine lives. — Introductory paragraph
of an Editorial — Public Ledger.
One on the Lawyer
One day two lawyers who were
arguing opposite sides of a case be-
came angry at one another and one
of them pointing to the other said,
"That attorney is the ugliest and
meanest lawyer in this town."
"You forget yourself, you forget
yourself, Mr. Smith," said the court
rapping for order with his gavel.

Thankful for the glory of the old Red, White and Blue,
For the spirit of America that still is staunch and true,
For the laughter of our children and the sun-light in their eyes,
And the joy of radiant mothers and their evening lullabies;
And thankful that our harvests wear no taint of blood to-day,
But were sown and reaped by toilers who were
light of heart and gay.
Thankful for the riches that are ours to claim and keep,
The joy of honest labor and the boon of happy sleep,
For each little family circle where there is no empty chair
Save where God has sent the sorrow for the
loving hearts to bear;
And thankful for the loyal souls and brave hearts of the past
Who builded that contentment should bo with us to the last.
Thankful for the plenty that our peaceful land has blessed,
For the rising sun that beckons every man to do his best,
For the goal that lies before him and the promise when he sows
That his hand shall reap the harvest, undisturbed by cruel foes;
For the flaming torch of justice, symbolizing as it burns:
Here none may rob the toiler of the prize he fairly earns.
Today our thanks we're giving for the riches that are ours,
For the red fruits of the orchards and the perfume of the flowers,
For our homes with laughter ringing and our hearthfires blazing bright,
For our land of peace and plenty and our land of truth and right;
And we'er thankful for the glory of the old Red, White and Blue,
For the spirit of our fathers and a manhood that is true.

"As You Like It."
Christmas is almost here. We are
wondering about some of the ques-
tions that must arise in many, many
minds at this season. Probably
some of them run like this: Will
they all be home this Christmas?
Will Bill change his mind and come
home too? Shall I go home and
complete the circle, or accept the
invitation to Frank's house? Will
Mary come, and will she have
changed since she left us? What
good things will there be to eat?
Which of all these beautiful gifts
shall I give to Alice? What will I
get in return, I wonder? Shall it
mean to me a season of real rejoic-
ing or just a gala day? They may
be such as these, only millions more.
What, after all, is your chief
concern for this Christmas? Does
the day promise much or little?
Within yourself my friend,
lies the power to make it very much
"as you like it." If your happiness
consists in the large number and
the rich quality of the gifts you re-
ceive, probably this is not in your
power, except as you can regulate
it by your own indiscriminate lavish-
ness. If, on the other hand, it con-
sists in seeing how many homes you
can brighten and how many hearts
you can cheer by word, or gift, or
deed, then verily the power is thine !
Be not deceived. "The city of hap-
piness is in the state of mind." You
cannot center your interests on self
and appear unselfish, and go on
your way rejoicing. You cannot
gratify your selfish desires and
thereby make others happy. Your
attitude toward others and toward
the world will largely determine
your happiness at this season. If it
is not "as you like it," there is al-
ways the possibility of changing
your attitude until you do like it.
If your presence in the home cir-
cle will gladden more hearts than
you could cheer at any other place,
and circumstances favor your go-
ing, then possibly the home is the
place for you on Christmas. If,
on the other hand, some obscure,
out-of-the-way place is calling for
your help on this self-same day, —
a place where souls are hungering
for just the bare crusts of the Bread
you feed upon daily, — then may not
even family ties hold or claim you.
What it takes to make Christmas
Day, 1921, 'as we like it,' is a fair
indication of whose cause we repre-
sent— our own or Anothers.
"The Holy Supper is kept indeed
In whatso we share with another's
need:
Not what we give but what we
share,
For the gift without the giver is
bare;
Who gives himself with his alms
feeds three—
Himself, his hungry neighbor and
me." Lowell.

He couldn't see the fading of the cheeks

How the years are passing swiftly, and

There would be no home to visit and no

He didn't think about it— I'll not say he
didn't care.
He was heedless and forgetful or he'd
surely have been there.
Are you going home for Christmas? Have
you written you'll be there?
Going home to kiss the mother and to show
her that you care
Going home to greet the father in a way
to make him glad?
If you're not I hope there'll never come a
time you'll wish you had.
Just sit down and write a letter—it will
make their heart strings hum
With a tune of perfect gladness— if you'll
tell them that you'll come.

Christmas Day in the Far
West— 1852.
Long ago when the eastern part
of our country was stirred by the
discovery of gold in California,
many people left their homes and
pushed to the West. Among these
was a family by the name of Tivoli,
who left their little home and circle
of friends in Florida, and traveled
west by way of the Santa Fe trail,
to seek their fortune.
Father and mother Tivoli were
eager to start on the long journey,
anticipating the wealth which they
might obtain. The only anxiety they
had was concerning their little twin
babies, Mona and Fiona, for they
feared the journey would be too
hard for these children who were
only three years of age.
It was a bright spring morning
in the year of 1848 when they left
their little home in Florida and
started across the continent in
search of the gold country. They
planned to reach the gold country
before winter and be settled before
the cold weather sets in ; and it
looked as though they would, for
everybody kept well, the weather
was fine, the twins did not seem to
mind the exposure, and everything
went smoothly. They were sure
they were near the gold country
when they left the Santa Fe trail to
meet the Spanish trail which led to
Los Angeles.
Upon leaving the Santa Fe trail
they passed through an Indian vil-
lage— now known as Pueblo, where
the Indians seemed rather hostile,
because of the whites rushing to the
West to take possession of their
land. The Tivolis, however, passed
through in safety, and as long as
the Indians were not molested they
gave the whites no trouble. Just
west of the village of Pueblo a large
plateau appears which is now
known as the Colorado plateau.
Taking the Spanish trail which led
to the southwest, the Tivolis passed
through the plateau, thus avoiding
the Rocky Mountains. They were
so greatly impressed with the gran-
deur of the great West that they de-
cided to go no farther but remain
and engage in grazing. They seem-
ed to like the country where they
had settled and year after year they
stayed, until four years had passed.
Ey this time Mona and Fiona were
seven years old.
Mr. Tivoli's possessions now be-
came so extensive that he had to
hire a helper. Therefore he asked
a man by the name of Karl Kron,
who was a Swede, to work for him.
Karl was glad for the oppoutunity
of making an honest living as well
as for the comfort which the Tivoli
home offered him. The twins learn-
ed to love him dearly and called him
Uncle Karl.
One fine day a man and woman
by the name of Smith came to the
ranch and asked to stay awhile.
They happened to be the missionar-
ies sent to work among the Indians,
and did not expect to find white
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
L3
people living in the country. The
Tivolis welcomed them to their
home. The children were quite as
glad as their parents to see white
folks, and soon a warm friendship
sprang up between them. As Mr.
and Mrs. Smith and the Tivoli fami-
ly talked over the work which the
Smiths were doing, they often heard
the story of Jesus. This seemed
new to them, because they were of
Spanish descent and of the Catholic
religion — a religion which had lost
its meaning to them through lack of
practice.
It happened one day near the
middle of December, when the mis-
sion workers returned from their
work, that they asked the twins
where they would spend Christmas.
Mona and Fiona looked at them
questioningly and said, "What is
Christmas? Tell us about it
please." Quickly they ran to Moth-
er Tivoli and asked, "Where will
we spend Christmas?" Mother
said she guessed at home, but she
didn't remember much about Christ-
mas. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were
asked to tell about it and they de-
cided to do so after supper.
When the work was all done,
they gathered about the open fire-
place to hear the Christmas story.
They were told of the Babe of Beth-
lehem and how that ever since his
birth we always celebrate Decem-
ber 25 as Christmas, because on that
day, eighteen hundred fifty-two
years ago, Jesus was born. They
were also told how that everywhere
Christ is known both Christians and
sinners celebrate Christmas Day.
Mona and Fiona listened very at-
tentively and wondered what peo-
ple did on Christmas. Mrs. Smith
said if they were good she would
tell them that another day. They
promised and having been put to
bed were soon sound asleep. The
Smiths and the Tivolis talked
while longer, and soon decided that
the twins should have their first
real Christmas.
During the days following there
was much planning and whispering
going on about the ranch. The
twins went to bed early; father and
mother Tivoli and the Smiths stayed
up late. Finally everything was
ready. The evening before Christ-
mas Karl went to the hills for a pine
tree, and insisted that he wanted
to set it up himself in the sitting
room.
At last Christmas dawned. The
twins and everyone were up early.
The morning's work was done, and
all were invited to the parlor or
sitting room, where a bright fire
burned in the hearth. The twins
fairly danced for joy. The beauti-
ful dark green tree stood in a cor-
ner decorated with strings of red
and white popcorn, pine cones,
brown nuts, and little yellow and
red apples. On the top was a large
golden star. The table was loaded
with packages, and dishes of good-
ies. There was lots of fun opening
the packages and finding a surprise
in each one. Mona got her first real
doll, and Fiona his first store sled.
The Christmas dinner was soon
served and all enjoyed the good
things immensely. This, however,
was not the best part of the day.
After dinner they all went to the
14
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
mission house where a service was
to be held. The Smiths had arrang-
ed a small tree in one corner, and
had decorated the walls with green
leaves. They then told the Christ-
mas story again in the presence of
about fifteen or twenty ranchmen,
cowboys, women and children.
When the story was finished, tears
stood in the eyes of some ; and after
a benediction was given all agreed
that the day was one long to be re-
membered, and promised to come
back again.
When father and mother Tivoli,
the Smiths, and the twins got home
they had a pleasant little chat and
some supper. After supper they
sat down and read and talked over
the events of the day. The mission
workers explained the plan of sal-
vation by request of Father Tivoli,
and both he and mother decided to
accept Jesus as their Savior. In
this way one of the first Christian
homes in the great Colorado Plat-
eau came into existence. C.A.M.
The Home as Portrayed by
Burns.
The home occupies a very impor-
tant place in the life of a race. The
national life of a people depends in
a great measure upon its home life.
Many of the present day problems
in education and morals would be
more than half solved if America
could boast of more ideal Christian
homes.
Robert Burns in his poem "The
Cotter's Saturday Night" pictures
the home life of a Scottish peasant
family. Home here is a place to
which an individual can go and un-
load the weight of burdens and
cares ; a place to which he can come
for rest and peace from the turmoil
of the busy, hurrying throng of the
restless world; or for comfort and
ease after following the plough or
the reaper, when weary with his
hard labor. The picture as shown
by Burns reveals this beautifully,
for the father is eager to get home,
no matter how humble the place
may be. It is his home, the place
where his loved ones are ready to
meet him with happy greetings.
As the children gather about him,
he forgets the aches and anxieties
of his labor and toil.
One of the pictures with a last-
ing impression to be found in a
Christian home, and which is also
found in this poem of Burns, is that
of the children and the parents sur-
rounding the fireside in a complete
family circle, lifting up their hearts
in praise and thanksgiving to their
Creator for the blessings so lavishly
bestowed upon them. Even though
they are poor, they feel grateful
for their health, and for the love
shown by parents and brothers and
sisters.
It is an inborn instinct which
leads parents to care for and pro-
tect their offspring. The parents
take great pride in their children
and their wishes are gratified when
their boys and girls grow up to be
good Christian men and women.
A good home where all is peace
and love is a real Paradise on earth.

Charm Strikes the Sight —
Merit Wins the Soul.
Gayly along" the roadside grow
the sweet scented flowers with their
dresses glistening in the sunlight.
Along flits the buzzing bee, first be-
ing attracted by the fragrance of
perfume and then by the gorgeous
splendor of the flowers. The bee
did not hesitate and consider
whether the flowers contained hon-
ey, but because of the inviting odor
and the attractive color of their
gowns, he was at once entangled
within the deceptive walls of beauty
finding nothing but disappointment
and. his keen anticipation unreal-
ized.
Not unfrequently are there people
being led astray into captivity of
sin because the fascination of splen-
dor gains the favor of their immedi-
ate desires and ignores the unwaver-
ing excellence of merit. It is the
time when a man "learns to look up-
on illegitimate love with a careless
mind" that he gets entangled with-
in the web of sensuality and de-
bauchery. He finally finds himself
ensnared within the horrid walls
of deception, never to regain an
honorable position in life again ; he
becomes a social outcast and at last
he is placed in the dishonorable
grave of solitude and darkness.
Why should the enticing gestures
and the flashy dress of the coquette
curse the eye and crush the soul of
man to the grave for transient
pleasure? Place, O man! before
your eyes the comprehensive vision,
the charm of merit rather than the
charm of the sight.
It is not the fascinating features
of beauty that contribute to ones
permanent desirability ; but it is the
invisible charm of the spirit, dis-
seminating high ideals, that finds
favor in the eyes of the honorable.
It is the person whose physique is
unsymmetrical, whose face bears
the irregular lines of imperfection,
who is generally the neglected
member of society. But is society
just? "Man looketh on the out-
ward appearance, but God looketh
on the heart." The purity and
beauty of heart is merit that mounts
the apex of rare choice in defiance
of social gravity.
Which one of the two" men is the
most valuable to society, — the man
who is buoyed into the constellation
of public opinion by his sparkling
gem studs and veneered speeches;
or the man who lives in the back-
woods, away from the eyes of the
world, calmly and earnestly forg-
ing his way to an ideal that will lift
the whole world to realms of unseen
truth ? The former man is general-
ly the one selected; but men like
"Uncle John" Brashear, who quiet-
ly toiled year after year in his little
shop, grinding and polishing astron-
omical lenses so that folks could
live in the realms of the infinite, is
by far a greater asset to the world
than the shallow, pretentious man
who accomplishes nothing but that
which meets the eyes of all his ac-
quaintances.

of the Lock" — By Alexander Pope.)

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
A Christmas Story.
It was the day before Christmas
and the whole city of Chicago
seemed to be getting ready to cele-
brate Christmas. Stores and toy
shops were crowded with people
who were buying toys and many
other beautiful things to make a
joyful Christmas for their little
boys and girls at home.
In this city there lived on a fifth-
story flat a poor man with his fam-
ily, who had had no work for weeks
and scarcely enough food to eat.
As he looked through the windows
he saw people carrying packages to
and fro on the street below. This
recalled to his mind the beautiful
time they had had last year on
Christmas day. He could no longer
sit by the window, for it was grow-
ing late in the day and his little girls
were hunting their stockings to
hang up for Santa Claus to fill.
He started down the narrow stair-
way and descended to the street be-
low. As he walked down the street
he noticed how beautifully the
store windows were decorated, and
saw many beautiful things which
would make his little girls happy
on Christmas morning. "But what
am I to do," said he to himself, "for
I have no money?" It was growing
darker and darker and the wind
was whirling little flakes of snow
into his face. Still he journeyed
onward to the residential part of
the city. As he approached this
part of the city he could see families
eating their evening meal. Still
others could be seen opening pack-
ages that had been purchased
throughout the day. There was
one house on that street which
looked more pleasent to him than
the others. In this house lived a
family by the name of Brown with
whom he was well acquainted.
As he stood gazing through the
window he could see the Brown
family with their little girl decorat-
ing their Christmas tree with many
beautiful things which delighted
the little girl so much that she
danced about in the room, and it
seemed to him he could almost hear
her say, "This is the prettiest tree
we ever had for Christmas." As
he stood watching them he thought
of his own poor little girls at home,
who probably now were hanging up
their little ragged stockings for
Santa Claus to fill. The longer he
stood thinking the keener the
thought struck him of the disap-
pointment they would feel on
Christmas morning to find their
stockings empty, and besides what
a sad Christmas they would have.
"What shall I do?" said he to him-
self. "I cannot go home without
anything. Yet I have no money."
Just then a plan came into his
head. "I know what I will do.
When those people are in bed I will
just take a few toys off their Christ-
mas tree which they will never miss,
then my little girls will have a good
time on Christmas too."
Just a few minutes later the
lights were turned off and the house
was left in darkness. Then he went
to the door and found it locked.
Again he muttered to himself,
"What shall I do if they have the
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
17
windows locked?" Just then he
spied a window that was not quite
shut. This he raised very quietly.
After tying a handkerchief over
his mouth he crawled through the
window to the room inside. Just
then something seemed to whisper
into his ear that someone was watch-
ing him in the darkness of the night.
He went on to the tree and paused,
as the voice seemed to be speaking
louder and louder to him. After
listening for a time he discovered it
to be his conscience, in the form of
fear, that was speaking to him. Yet
he never meant to steal. The
thought of home again overtook
him; consequently he took a candle,
a little silver bell — he heard a noise,
surely — a little girl clad only in a
night-gown came running in saying
*'Oh Santa Claus how glad I am to
see you — but how funny you look!
Why do you have that handkerchief
over your mouth?" After taking
her on his knee, he told her aboil/:
his little girls at home. Hardly had
he finished his statement when Mr.
Brown, the little girl's father, heard
her Talking and upon entering the
room saw the burglar holding his
little daughter. The thief at once
told Mr. Brown, who did not recog-
nize him, his pitiful tale ; also stat-
ing that he did not mean to steal
but thought that a few things i'rovn
the tree would not be missed. Af-
ter he had finished saying this Mr.
Brown's little girl, who feared that
her father would be angry and put
him to jail, said, "We will not miss
these things, father, which he tool:.
Won't you let him have them and
some of my ^andv. too?" This
rouched Mr. Brown's sympathetic
heart so much that he could not de-
ny the request of his little girl, and
he ga-e the burglar not only the
things which he had taken but
many others besides.
Mr. Brown extended to him his
best wishes for a Merry Christina?
as he opened the door for the burg-
lar to go out. The snowstorm,

Dear Friend :
I am enclosing herewith my
check for $1.00 for which please
enter my subscription to "Our Col-
lege Times" for one year. Even
though it is almost six years since I
left Elizabethtown as a student, I
have not forgotten her and still
have hopes of returning for further
work. I realize more every day the
value of the training which I re-
ceived while there, and still more
the need for further training.
I wish the whole student body
could have had the privilege of
being in the city this week to wit-
ness the opening of the greatest In-
ternational Political Conference
for the limitation of armaments and
promotion of peace the world has
ever known since the days of the
Prince of Peace; also the burial of
the "Unknown dead" in the Arling-
ton National Cemetery.
Will look forward with pleasure
to receiving the first number of the
"Times", and may this letter carry
the best wishes of Mrs. Replogle
and myself to all readers and
friends of the "Times".
Respectfully,
A. Jay Replogle.

Whereas, on November 29, the
Death Angel so unexpectedly enter-
ed the home of Prof, and Mrs. L.
W. Leiter and silently summoned
from the family circle their little
five-year-old daughter; Leah Ida,
Be it resolved-
First, That we, the faculty and
students of Elizabethtown College,
express our deep regrets at the
passing out of one so sweet in dis-
position that to know her was to
love her.
Second, that we extend to Prof-
essor and Mrs. Leiter and all of
their relatives our warmest sym-
pathy in this hour of sore bereave-
ment, and pray God to pour the oil
of consolation into their bleeding
hearts.
Third, That a copy of these re-
solutions be sent to the bereaved
family, that they be placed on the
faculty minutes, and that they be
published in "Our College Times,"
and also in "The Elizabethtown
Chronicle".

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
Y. W. W. A.
The Y. W. W. A. is continuing in
active work. Each Friday evening
the girls meet in the reception room
from nine o'clock until ten thirty.
The programs are well suited to the
season and usually consist of select
readings, debates, discussions, and
music.
On the evening of November IS,
1921, a joint-meeting of the Y. M.
W. A. and the Y. W. W. A. was
held in the College Chapel. The
program consisted of music and dis-
cussions; and Professors L. W. Lei-
ter and J. G. Meyer gave splendid
talks to both organizations.
Armistice Day Program.
On the evening of November 11,
1921, the citizens of Elizabeth town
and community came to the College
Chapel to hear a program given by
the College to celebrate the signing
of the armistice three years ago.
In the address of welcome given
by Prof. I. S. Hoffer, who was chair-
man of the meeting, the immense
cost of the past war was clearly
shown.
Prof. H. H. Nye discussed the
reasons for the Disarmament Con-
vention to convene the next day at
Washington, and the personell of
that convention.
Dr. H. M. J. Klein of F. and M.
College, Lancaster, Pa., gave a
lecture on "Europe Three Years
After." In his lecture he described
the conditions of Scotland, England,
France, and Beligum, just as they
were when he made a tour through
these countries during the past
summer.
Dr. Klein also said that in his
mind the Scotch were the hope of
Europe because of their splendid
physical condition, their keen mind,
and their strong religious spirit.
He said that the entire country of
England was on a strike. This was
caused by individuals from Russia
coming into their country and
breeding discontent. In his lecture
he pictured very vividly the battle-
fields in France and Belgium.
Founders' Day Program.
On the evening of November 14,
1921, a Founders' Day program
was given in the College Chapel.
In the address of welcome Prof.
J. G. Meyer, who was chairman of
the meeting, gave a brief history
of the College from the time it was
founded just twenty-one years ago
to the present time. Among other
statements that he made, this one
was given: "Christian education is
the only hope for the solution of
many of the problems that arise in
a Democracy."
Dr. M. G. Brumbaugh gave an
interesting lecture on "Democracy
in Education." He said in part:
"War is the most cruel, expensive,
destructive, and life-losing thing
that ever existed. War produces as
well as reveals problems. Two of
the largest problems revealed in
America during the great World
War are the problems of Physical
Education, --how to best produce
perfect bodies, -and the immigra-
tion language problem. The inabil-
ity to read and understand English
in America is the cause of I. W. W.
ism and Soviet Doctrine. If we
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
21
wish to be true, patriotic citizens of
America we should stand for
America and for its English lang-
uage.
In the latter part of his lecture he
discussed how extremely wasteful
America really is.
The Student Council.
The Student Council was formed
for the purpose of having the stu-
dents get in closer touch with the
faculty. Through this council the
students have a chance to make
suggestions when dissatisfied with
the rules and regulations. They
also help establish and adminis-
ter justice to violators. In short, it
is a committee which is to work
with the faculty for the welfare of
the students.
The Council consists of the presi-
dent of the faculty as chairman, the
two social directors, and three
members from each of the two Wel-
fare Organizations.
We are looking ahead to great
things' from the Student Council,
and have as our aim student govern-
ment in its full sense.

A Spiritual Awakeningr.
The recent religious revival in
town, conducted by Bro. Frank
Carper, of Palmyra, was indeed a
season of blessings. Bro. Carper
is a fluent, convincing speaker and
his presentation of Bible truths
brought conviction to a number of
souls. To seven of our number on
College Hill his messages, aided by
the convicting power of the Spirit,
brought peace unspeakable and joy
unbounded. We trust that the home-
coming shall continue.
This series of efforts, together
with that at Stevens Hill and
others in the community, was in-
deed another step in the growing
Christian atmosphere on College
Hill. For this we are truly grate-
ful, and pray that the day may come
speedily when this Spirit may car-
ry conviction to everyone who feels
its influence, and create in his or
her life a fulness of joy in Christian
service.
To those who had previously ded-
icated their lives to special service
this revival was an inspiration and
a challenge. We were made to real-
ize more fully the worth of souls and
the joy of service. We rejoice with
others in the fact that men and wo-
men are seeking the things of great-
est worth. May we all with re-
newed zeal interpret Christ in word
and deed, that God may be glorified
and souls may be brought into fel-
lowship with him. S. F.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
A Glimpse Into the Newville S. S.
Activities.
The tide of interest at Newville
is running high now because of an-
ticipated programs as well as past
programs. On Nov. 13 the children
gave an excellent program. Be-
sides their recitations, exercises,
and songs, the ladies' and men's
quartettes sang. This part of the
program was followed by a most in-
teresting talk on "Hearts," by Rev.
Frank Carper, from Palmyra, Pa.
To make a lasting impression on the
open minds of the boys and girls,
Brother Carper showed several
kinds of hearts. The Newville child-
ren could not help but get the mes-
sage.
Then, too, we are planning to
give a Christmas program. Al-
though Sunday Schools always give
Christmas programs, we feel sure
that the love for Christ of children,
both young and old, is strengthened
and renewed by them each year.
So that your Christmas spirit may
be more real and lasting, come out
and hear the Newville boys and
girls give praise to . God who gave
Christ to the world to save souls.
Even though the work is pro-
gressing, your presence and prayers
will mean much toward making the
Newville Sunday School a bigger,
better influence for Christ. A. B.
Chapel Echoes.
When you find nothing to do,
your case is desperate.
"Whatsoever thy hand nndeth to
do, do it with thy might."
That person or nation that looks
forward to the development of the
truth will not only be rewarded in
this world, but also in eternity.
God wants to be the true sover-
eign of our hearts. Let us make Him
ruler of our lives and be happy.
Paul always wanted other people
to reach as high attainments as him-
self. When we wish others as much
joy and happiness as we wish for
ourselves we have the right spirit
in our hearts.
Set your ideals high. Set them as
high as the heavens. A true ideal
is never met without the assistance
of the Divine. Never be satisfied
until that ideal is reached in your
life and mine.
Our written and spoken language
represents what we are. A man's
speech is the representation of the
man himself. We should always be
careful in choosing our words, for
they mean so much ofttimes.
Ezekiel had confidence in his
nation, even though their virtue was
lowered. In the same way, the con-
fidence our parents have in us is our
staff and foundation and we dare
not betray that confidence, but we
must try to bring forth all the good
that is in us.

''Let's have everybody neighbors,
Let's have everyone a friend,
Let's all strive to help each other,
And we'll have good times without

For if this land is just a good place
for some,
Then our pride will take a fall ;
So let's get together, work together,
Play together, pull together,
And make a good place for all."
The doors of progress swing on
the hinges of great personalities.
These great personalities are com-
paratively few. For us to be the
right kind of hinges, a great deal of
dross must be burned out of our
lives.
Hinges are often obscure. In
order to be the effective kind, some
of us must work in obscure places.
Hinges also have heavy burdens
to bear. —

Gems from Dr. Bradley's Speech:
"The United States of To-Morrow."
What we wish to believe does

Get the viewpoint of youth.
You can deport bodies but you can-
not deport ideals.
If we question truth we will
never find it.
You tell me what a nation loves
and I'll tell you what degree of
civilization she has reached.
The world would collapse with-
out ideals.
There is not a battleship, an acre,
or a dollar, worth one drop of an
American boy's blood.
It is not back to Christ but ahead
to Christ.
The world never caught up to the
spirit of Christ.

As fall weather is usually wet, you
will not be surprised to find that
athletics has been rather dull dur-
ing the past month. It was an ex-
ceedingly wet month, and this pre-
vented out-door exercise to any
large extent. However, this does
not say that we were entirely dor-
mant. New lower goals were er-
ected and playing soon began.
Four teams were organized, and
interesting games were played.
Two of the teams, captained by D.
Myers and E. Eshleman, played a
very exciting game. It was a hard-
fought game, the ball going from
one end of the field to the other,
neither side having an advantage.
At the end of the game the score
was in a dead-lock at 1 to 1.
Soccer is a sport which develops
the body more than any other ac-
tivity. Although it is almost neces-
sary to have a pair of shin guards,
yet it is a game worth while.
As cold weather is coming on,
the greatest of sports on College
Hill, namely basket-ball, is coming
into existence again. The spirit of
basket-ball runs high and interest
is being taken by many students,
which speaks for its success.
Hardly an evening passes without
some one being in the gym prac-
ticing. The students are eager to
get the game started, and once they
get started great things will be in
^tcre for lovers of this sport. Ac-
cording to present prospects, we
will have one of the best basket-
ball seasons ever enjoyed on Col-
lege Hill. Many old players are
with us again, and some fine ma-
terial has also been added in sever-
al new students who have joined
our ranks. It is a game which re-
quires skill. The body as well as
the mind must be alert and active.
It requires team-work to make a
winning team. The person who ex-
pects to play individually will not
succeed very rapidly. Some of us
may not be able to play at all, but
if we are interested we will show
our interest by supporting the play-
ers by rooting. Watch the bulletin
board to see what will happen.
Not only has the spirit of basket-
ball spread among the boys, but
great interest is being taken by the
fair sex. They are showing their
interest by practicing when the
gymnasium is vacant. Keen inter-
est is being taken by both boarding
and day-student girls. There is
splendid material on either side and
interesting games are in store for
us. We well remember the excit-
ing games played by them last year,
and we are sure they will equal it
this year before the season ends.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
Editorials
Resolutions
A band of men once resolved un-
der oath not eat or to drink anything
until they had killed the man whom
they, in their jealous rage, consid-
ered a pretender and an enemy to
their faith. History does not tell us
whether these men carried out their
resolution or not. If they did, they
most surely died of starvation, for
we know it to be a fact that their in-
tended victim lived on for at lease
several years after the resolution
was made. If these men were as
good as their word, like brave men
they died to keep it; if not, they
were weak and vacillating. Such, at
least, is the conclusion we usually
draw when once an agreement has
been entered into or a promise
spoken.
Some promises and agreements
are made at sacred shrines, — the
place lending its influence to the
sacredness of the deed. Other
agreements there are which are en-
tered into by one person alone and
his inner consciousness at the sacred
altar of conscience. These are re-
solutions. They are not necessarily
New Year resolutions, for to the sin-
cere man or woman 'New Year* is
just another day like the other three
hundred and sixty-five, each one of
which he has determined to live bet-
ter and nobler than the one before.
New Year's day, as a great mile-
stone in the span of a lifetime may,
however, lend inspiration and give
renewed impetus to the general
course of resolutions. It then be-
comes a stopping place where we
get off to measure ourselves with
the man or the woman we left there
on the same day a year before.
To many of us New Year reso-
lutions mean a general yearly house
cleaning. We look back of the doors
into the nooks and corners of the
closets, and on the topmost shelves
of the past year to see what rubbish
of faults and shortcomings have
collected. What hideous spectres
sometimes stare us in the face ! It
behooves us all to look back and to
compare ourselves with our past
selves,— to profit by past failures and
successes, — but pity the man or wo-
man who does so, in something of
a serious mood, only once a year.
How dirty, disordered, and 'over-
hung with cobwebs is that house
that is cleaned but once a year!
It becomes almost uninhabitable, or
else is over-inhabited by undesira-
ble occupants! A fac simile of such
filth is the mind and heart that does
not continually clean house and re-
solve to burn up the rubbish as it
accumulates. It too becomes unin-
habitable to right thoughts and mo-
tives, and is often preoccupied by
sin and crime. Says Emerson, "To
make daily a new estimate, that is
greatness."
New Year's Day, if it means any-
thing Unusual, should mean a re-
newed effort at thorough heart-
cleaning, — not the revival of a lost
art, but the reenforcement of a con-
tinuous habit, — renewed as old
"Father Time" ticks out the "Old"
and chimes in the "New."
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
11
Living Beyond Our Profession.
' The spirit of the times demands
willing work rather than vain
words; definite results, not mere
formal resolutions; and real life
experiences in preference to cold
storage education.
Do we claim the reward of a
Christian? Do we live beyond the
requirements of our creed? Does
our presence make bad men good?
If there is anything we can do to
make doing right easy and doing
wrong difficult we owe that act to
our Christ. Perhaps it may mean
personal sacrifice of health, honor
and repute. Athletic lingo illustrat-
ing this idea is "fair play," "per-
sonal sacrifice for the group" or
"victory in defeat." Inspired writ-
ers have spoken of it as, "living
sacrifice," "living beyond the law,"
"giving gospel measure" and "go-
ing the second mile."
Do we profess to be farmers?
If so, may we be reminded that to-
day calls for audacious farmers who
will live beyond the traditional idea
that the farm is the place for the
untalented. Scientific farmers who
will accept their part in feeding a
persecuted Armenia, a heathen In-
dia and China, and a needy Russia
are in demand. Farmers who will
not be satisfied to ride in automo-
biles while their children walk in
ignorance, intelligent farmers who
will wield their influence for consol-
idated schools, Vacation Bible
Schools, Bible Institutes and the
like surely may claim to live beyond
their profession. Opportunities ga-
lore for farmers serving in the
healthful out-of-doors!
Have we assumed the responsibi-
lity of parenthood? A well-educated
father has said, "The family is an
ideal democracy into which the
child-life is born. Where the home
is only an opportunity for self-indul-
gence, it easily becomes a cheap
boarding house, a sleeping shelf, an
implement for social advantage.
But it costs too much to maintain a
home if one measures it by the per-
sonal advantages of parents. The
family demands sacrifice. To fol-
low lower impulses is to invite dis-
aster. Do we hold that cabbages
grow by law but character comes
by chance?" The personalities of
parents determines the spirit of
good will in the family.- Are we
living beyond our profession in the
amount of time we give to the home ;
in making family worship fascinat-
ing and helpful, in supervising the
precious leisure hours, in directing
proper table talk, in providing for
symmetrical development of body,
mind and soul?
Have we enlisted as teachers?
If we have we are important per-
sonages in a miniature democracy.
The beliefs, ideals and aspirations
of our pupils are determined to a
large extent by our stamp of approv-
al or disapproval. With such a
sacred charge, dare we be satisfied
to teach with minimum qualifica-
tions? No! we want the best in
preference to the second best. For
the sake of human progress we are
willing to live beyond contract or
promise. We want reserve know-
ledge to answer the inquisitive child.
We want to be bigger than our job.
Money can never pay the qualified
teacher.
12
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
We profess to be a democracy.
But do we realize that we have
made too loud a profession. Sta-
tistics show that seventy per cent
of our people who are mature in
body are mentally but thirteen years
old. Shall we entrust our govern-
ment into the hands of a people
thirteen years of age? We sincere-
ly hope that the growth of the num-
ber of colleges in America may soon
mean government of a mature peo-
ple, by a mature people and for a
mature people.
Our New President
At the opening of the present aca-
demic year a new man was found
at the helm directing the various
activities of our College. Near the
close of the preceding scholastic
year, Jacob Gibbel Meyer, head of
the Department of Psychology and
Education, was elected to the Presi-
dency of the institution and prevail-
ed upon by the Board of Trustees
to discharge the responsibilities of
the position during the year 1921-
22. A few words about our new
pilot may be appropriate.
President Meyer's bass voice was
first haard among the beautiful hills
of Lebanon County, Pa., almost for-
ty years ago. As a boy he grew up
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
13
—
on the farm where he developed a
vigorous body and a love for Na-
ture that are the proud possessions
of every sturdy, rustic young man.
At the age of five he enrolled in
the rural schools near his home.
Here he studied diligently for eight
sessions, increasing his fund of
knowledge and laying the founda-
tion of the super-structure that was
to follow. Not satisfied with hav-
ing conquered all the courses offered
in the rural schools of his day, this
promising young man enrolled in the
Mt. Zion high school and spent three
more years in faithful study.
The next wise move our future
President made was to pack his
trunk and come to Elizabethtown
College where he enrolled in March
1901. This was near the close of
the first year of our institution which
recently celebrated its twenty-first
birthday anniversary. He selected
the course in Education and gradu-
ated four years later with the de-
gree of Bachelor of Pedagogy.
After a few years' experience in
the profession of teaching, our
helmsman matriculated at Franklin
& Marshall College from which in-
stitution he was graduated in 1910
with the title and degree of Bachelor
of liberal Arts. Every college grad-
uate is conscious of the fact that he
has only been introduced to the
wealth of the ages during his coll-
ege course. Realizing this truth,
our pilot continued his searches in-
to the riches of knowledge by at-
tendance upon the Summer Sessions
of our leading Universities. The
summers of 1905 and ^1907 were
spent at the University of Penn-
sylvania. From 1910 to 1914 sum-
mer vacations were devoted to ad-
vanced study at Columbia Univer-
sity. He majored in Physics and
Chemistry, taking Education as a
minor. At the commencement cele-
brated in June 1915 he was granted
the degree of Master of Arts. The
full year 1917-18 was spent in resi-
dence at Teacher's College, Colum-
bia University, at which time our
prospective President majored in
Education and fulfilled all require-
ments for the degree of Ph.D. ex-
cept his thesis.
When President Meyer, as a shy
youth, enrolled at his alma mater
twenty years ago, he determined to
overcome his bashfulness and as-
sume a position of leadership among
his fellowmen. Accordingly, he di-
rected the activities of growing
young America in the public school
at Ronks, Lancaster County, Penn-
sylvania, one term. Upon gradua-
tion in 1905 he taught preparatory
subjects in his alma mater two full
academic years. The spring term
of 1910 was spent in teaching Math-
ematics and Methods at Millersville
State Normal School.
Having learned to love our Coll-
ege, President Meyer, upon gradua-
tion from Franklin and Marshall in
1910, returned to his first love.
With the exception of a year at Col-
umbia, during which he was an in-
structor in the Horace Mann School
for Boys connected with Teachers
College, he has been with us ever
since. In addition to his adminis-
trative duties he fills the chair of
Psychology and Education.
While growing up into manhood
our President learned to believe the
14
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
truth of Holy Writ: "It is not good
for man to be alone." In October
1910 he was united in marriage to
Miss Anna Royer, a former student
at the College, at Denver, Pa. Four
bright, growing children complete
the family circle.
President Meyer had the blessed
privilege of being brought up in a
Christian home. Every day was be-
gun with family devotions. Up-
rightness in word and deed, princi-
ples of sterling character and sim-
plicity in daily living were incul-
cated by pious parents. At the age
of ten he yielded to the wooings of
the Spirit and in the historic Little
Swatara Church near his home, he
covenanted with his maker to live
the full life.
The Elizabethtown church, re-
cognizing his growing Christian
character, in March 1911, asked him
to exercise in the sacred office of the
Gospel Ministry. President Meyer
interpreted this request as the call
of the Divine. His sermons are
clear, logical, forceful, spiritual. In
October 1918 he was ordained to the
Eldership by the laying on of hands
in the church at Elizabethtown. He
has always taken a deep interest in
the religious side of our College life.
He is the author of a splendid little
volume, "Things Worth While",
consisting of a series of studies
based on the Sermon on the Mount.
President Meyer is not only an in-
spiring teacher and a forceful min-
ister but an able administrator. He
has taken hold of the various details
of college management with the
energy so characteristic of the man.
He is at his desk early in the morn-
ing. Often he is thinking through
some problems concerning the pro-
gress of the college while we are in
dreamland. President Meyer's whole
heart is wrapped up in our college.
He devotes his entire time to futher-
ing the interests of the institution.
Beside being a son of the college he
has given a dozen years of loyal ser-
vice to his alma mater. Well can
we say that he is bound to our col-
lege with bands of steel. President
Meyer took a leading part in the
movements which culminated a /
month ago in the State Council of
Education empowering the institu-
tion to confer the baccalaureate de-
gree in arts, science, letters and phi-
losophy. Well does he deserve the,
signal honor of being the first Presi-
dent to confer the baccalaureate de-
gree at our next commencement.
Not only is he equipped to direct the
scholastic side of our college, but he
thoroughly knows the wishes of our
constituents and the ideals of the
membership that has contributed so
liberally toward the support of the
institution. President Meyer's first
year begins a new year in our his-
tory. With a fine Board of Trus-
tees determining the policies of the
college, the strongest faculty in our
history, an earnest student body,
and the whole hearted support of
our constituents and alumni our col-
lege is bound to move forward un-
der the guidance of our new Presi-
dent. May success crown his efforts
and may his administration be a
long and successful one.

Anniversary Address.
1921.
We have met to commemorate
the founding of Elizabethtown Col-
lege on this the 21st anniversary.
We are glad to welcome so many of
our many patrons and friends to
these exercises.
Twenty-one years ago on the 13th
of November, Elizabethtown Col-
lege had her beginning. There
were three teachers and six stu-
dents. Since those days of small be-
ginnings, she has steadily grown.
About 2000 students have gone out
from her halls. More than 500
have finished courses. Her sons
and daughters are filling places of
responsibility all over the world.
Sixteen are on foreign shores as
missionaries. Some eighty are Min-
isters of the Gospel in various de-
nominations.
We shall not take time to go into
details. Suffice it to say that the
ideals of her founders were high
and their sacrifices great.
It is fitting to say a word about
the Church which has fostered and
fathered this school. The Church
of the Brethren, as many of her sis-
ter denominations, is false to her
history and her spirit if at any time
she fails to welcome and foster
scholarship and Christian Educa-
tion. 7 he church was founded up-
on no tradition. She was not born
of ignorance. She was founded up-
on principles and under opposition
that required well trained leaders.
That little gathering at Schwartz-
enau was profoundly schooled in the
Bible, Church History, the philoso-
phy of the simple life and the doc-
trine of protest that had sprung up
under such men as Arnold of Wit-
tenberg. Saur of Marburg, Franke
of Halle, Spener, Hochmann, Fel-
binger, and other University Trained
men.
Before the church was a score of
years old she made lasting impres-
sions on the life of Colonial Amer-
ica. The Sower Printing Press was
far-reaching in its influence, — more
than 500,000 volumes having left
this press before the Revolution.
Then came a time after the Revo-
lution when there was a lull in the
interest which our forefathers took
in Higher Education. But today
there are a dozen or more Colleges
and Bible Schools thriving in this
little church. The nature of the
times are urging the church to
greater sacrifices and to a greater
loyalty to her early vision.
There are at least two reasons
why Elizabethtown College and
other Christian Institutions are
needed. One reason is found with-
in and the other without.
The church has ideals and land-
marks which she wishes to preserve
for future generations. She has
contributions to make to the world
and her only hope is to make these
through our Colleges.
16
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
Then too the leaders of the world
are coming to realize that the claim
that war will give us a better world
is exploded. They are realizing that
war, applied science, more money,
more leisure and more organiza-
tions will not solve our problems.
Christian Education alone can solve
them.
Men must think right, love the
right, and do the right.
There is no higher calling, no no-
bler work, no sacrifice more worth
while, no movement more patriotic
than that of Christian Education.
No man's money is given to a nobler
cause, no life is better invested than
that which is invested in or sacri-
ficed for or dedicated to so funda-
mental a cause.
Elizabethtown College has a share
of the Educational burden to bear.
If properly controlled, encouraged
and supported, she will be a tre-
mendous factor in blessing the
Church and the world. To oppose
Christian Education is to be crushed
by the inertia of a mighty move-
ment coming out of a glorious past
made significant by costly experi-
ences and profound convictions. To
be neutral is to turn away from the
greatest known opportunity of be-
ing a blessing to future generations.
To be indifferent is to be brushed
aside like driftwood upon a river's
bank. But to fall in line and to
throw one's influence and energies
on the side of Christian Education
is to erect an eternal monument on
the side of right and to make perma-
nent contribution to the progress of
mankind and to the coming of the
Kingdom. J. G. Meyer.
Business of E. C.
"We have lengthened the ropes,
may we not forget to strengthen
the stakes." The oak tree that fell
when the trees about it were cut
away, fell because it had not enough
roots to support its top. Every add-
ed branch must mean a new root
if a tree is to stand the storm. So
a generation that lengthens the
ropes must be followed by one that
strengthens the stakes. A period
of expansion is fraught with dang-
ers of over-extension. A theatre
in New York City was enlarged and
not strengthened in its frame-work
and not long ago the pillars holding
the roof gave way and the roof came
crashing in upon the people who
were crowded in the building. Ev-
ery out-thrust demands a corres-
ponding in-thrust. It is the flying
buttresses which hold the beautiful
dome of the Cathedral in place by
strengthening its walls. It is the
hidden heavy cables of steel which
support the suspension bridge and
make it able to bear such enormous
loads.
"We have lengthened the ropes,
may we not forget to strengthen the
stakes."
If we as young people lengthen
the ropes of freedom we must
strengthen the stakes of self-control.
The first step in getting freedom is
to get roots; then we can laugh at
the storm. We must substitute the
inner life for outward restraint.
Goodness is not legal imposition
from without but is life within. We
do not want to babble like brooks
and lack the peacefulness of deep
seas.

Peace is consciousness of reserve
power. O the joy of a margin ! The
business of Elizabethtown College
is to maintain a high intellectual
standard by offering heavy courses,
and to maintain the New Testament
standards of religion.
"We have lengthened the ropes
may we not forget to strengthen the
stakes." Lord God of Hosts be with
us lest} we forget!
(Gist of Prof. R. W. Schlosser's
Address on Standardization.)
Peace and How to Maintain It
The idea of peace is older than
creation; and men, ever since the
sin in the garden, have been talk-
ing about it and longing for it. In
Revelation we read about the meth-
od used in heaven to bring about
peace. Michael the great angel
found the solution to the question
by casting sin and its cause (Satan)
out of Heaven. But as yet men in
the past six thousand years have not
been able to solve this question be-
tween nations.
The history of the world is over-
shadowed by the constant groan
caused by the absence of peace
among the nations of the earth.
However bright the victory may
seem to the victorious side, and no
matter how large the monuments
erected to tell the story of victory,
back of this scene is the suffering
motherhood, which is the founda-
tion of any nation however power-
ful.
Nations from ancient times to the
time of the (League) of nations have
tried to stand on the platform of
peace, and at the same time have
been manufacturing and pointing
guns at each other, and were con-
tinuously tempted to pull the trig-
ger.
Only a few years before the great
world war six great nations of Eu-
rope formed an alliance, shook
hands, and congratulated each oth-
er with the thought that the long-
expected peace was reached by ed-
ucation and arbitration. But they
still manufactured guns and ships
as before, and played with them un-
til they exploded, which caused the
alliance to be broken, and which
caused the crisis of the world today.
Nations of the world have been
blinded with the thought that their
strength lay in the equipments
which they possessed for killing
their neighbors. Because of this
blind state of mankind it has been
impossible for them to realize
peace for more than a few years
at a time. This is why the League
of Nations failed. They forgot that
to avoid the crisis of war, the cause
must be removed. This cause is the
dangerous war equipment.
Every war record on the pages of
history only demands a greater and
more destructive war to-morrow.
Do we want a greater war than the
one just past? God forbid any-
thing of the kind, but teach us the
way of peace. If civilization is to
mean anything, it surely should
help us to adjust our difficulties in
a better way. The uncivilized bar-
barian that knew no God save the
stones, rivers, sun, moon, and stars,
used war as his method to seek
peace. He never found lasting
peace, and the civilized nations that
18
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
have used his method have not
found it. This is; why we say his-
tory repeats itself, simply because
civilization thus far has not accept-
ed any other method for seeking
peace than that of war, given to the
nations by their barbarian ances-
tors. History could not even re-
peat itself if men would not let it.
How maintain peace? If from
the time of the Greek sculptors to
this day, instead of erecting monu-
ments over the whole earth in honor
of war, the same amount would
have been erected in honor of peace
so that the generations of peoples
that had to look at them could have
had the spirit of peace instilled into
their lives instead of war, perhaps
the shadow of war might not have
been so dark. For what one gener-
ation sows in the minds of its child-
ren will be reaped in a future time.
Germany is an example of this.
An example of maintained peace
is seen in the Rush-Baget agree-
ment between England and the
United States. After the war of
1812, England was preparing to put
a stronger fleet on the Great Lakes.
President Monroe saw it would not
be well to have guns continually
pointed at each other, so he suggest-
ed in a letter to England that the
smaller the number of vessels on
the Lakes the better it would suit
the United States. Each country
agreed to limit their armaments to
one vessel of a hundred tons with
one eighteen-pound gun on it for
Lake Ontario and Lake Champlain.
The other three lakes were to have
two vessels each. The result of
this agreement is four thousand
miles of unfortified boundary be-
tween two of the greatest powers
of the world. They have not even
had a guard or a barbed wire fence
between them for over a century,
and have enjoyed peace all the
while. In honor of this century of
peace, last September, at Blaine, in
the State of Washington, the arch
of triumph was dedicated. This
arch stands half on American and
half on Canadian soil. On the
American side are these words,
"Children of a Common Mother,"
while on the Canadian side are
these words, "Brethren dwelling to-
gether in unity." This monument
instead of telling a story of war has
the nobler message of peace for the
world.
We can maintain peace only by
thinking as individuals, as societies,
and nations. Think how foolish it
is to fight, and unless we obey the
laws of truth, justice, and holiness
we cannot enjoy peace. Every na-
tion in the past before it fell had
some evil that undermined the mor-
ality and purity of thought; & after
the morals and thought-life of a na-
tion are corrupted, the outside shell
soon falls off. If our blessed United
States which today stands first in
wealth and education, wishes to
maintain her place as the leading
power of the earth we must guard
against the evils that suggest cor-
rupt thinking, for after all peace is
a state of mind, and unless there is
peace in the mind of the individual
and of nations, the result will be in
the form of war and crime.
Blessed is that Nation whose God
is Jehovah. R. S. F.

Elizabethtown College,
Elizabethtown, Pa.
"Favorable action has been taken on ypur application
for charter to grant degrees. Announce it thus to your
student body."
Signed — Dr. Thomas L. Finegan.
President J. G. Meyer at once
called a meeting of the faculty and
the student body in the Chapel.
Prof. H. H. Nye, Secretary of the
College, read the memorable tele-
gram to the assemblage which re-
joiced in the passing of another sig-
nificant milestone. A holiday was
declared for the rest of the day.
A letter from Dr. Thomas Finne-
gan, President of the State Council
of Education, reads as follows:
"This is to advise you that at the
meeting of the State Council of Ed-
ucation, held on December 19, the
application of the Board of Trus-
tees of Elizabethtown College for an
amendment of its charter in order
that it may grant degrees in art,
pure and applied sciences, philos-
ophy, literature, and theology was
approved."
In order to celebrate the Stand-
ardization of our College, special
Chapel exercises were held Thurs-
day forenoon, December 22.
Elder G. N. Falkenstein opened
the Exercises by reading the thir-
teenth chapter of First Corinthians,
and then led in prayer. The Col-
lege quartet sang a selection.
Prof. Schlosser gave an address
on the History of E. C- In this ad-
dress he compared the History of
E. C. to a drama having four acts:
The Infancy of E. C, The Early
Childhood, The Later Childhood,
The Period of Adolescence. As
a theme he used. "We have
lengthened the ropes; let us
not forget to strengthen the stakes."
At the close of his address he said
there were two things for which ev-
ery Christian student should strive.
These are to maintain a high intel-
lectual standing, and to maintain
the New Testament standards of
religion.
Miss Elizabeth Myer gave a short
talk after which the student body
sang the College song.
Elder G. N. Falkenstein then
gave a talk on Standardization. He
said the College is not the buildings,
donors, trustees, etc., but it is the
student body and the faculty. We
must not forget our responsibility
now, because a great deal more will
20
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
be expected from us than has been
heretofore. If for no other reason,
we should have a college education
because of the balance it gives
physically, mentally, socially, and
religiously.
The College Quartet sang the se-
lection, "Press Towards the Mark."
In the next talk given by Prof.
Nye, he said there were three ways
to get a school on the map: first,
through athletics; second, through
gloryfing the intellect; and third,
through its Christian Manhood.
Prof. Hoffer followed by saying
that no student should look to other
schools for his ideal, because the
thing we pick from the other school
may be just the thing they are try-
ing to eradicate from their school.
No college in this section of the
country has the spiritual resources
which we have here at E. C.
At this time about half an hour
was given to the students to express
their appreciation for what Eliza-
bethtown College has done for
them. This was followed by short
talks by I. W. Taylor of Ephrata,
and Samuel Hertzler of Elizabeth-
town, President of the Board of
Trustees.
The Flag Raising Program
On the morning of December 14,
the Stars and Stripes waved over the
College campus for the first time.
Special chapel exercises were ob-
served to celebrate the event.
Prof. Meyer led in prayer, after
which the student body sang the
College Song. Mr. Joseph Ketter-
ing discussed "The True Meaning
of the Flag." A quartet, composed
of Mr. Israel Royer, Ephraim Meyer,
Daniel Myers, and A. C. Baugher
sang "God Bless Our President."
Mr. Forney discussed "Peace, and
How to Maintain It." Miss Stella
Walker gave a select reading en-
titled, "The American Flag."
The flagpole was donated to the
College by Mr. Gremminger. It is
sixty feet in length. The flag is
eight by fourteen feet in size.
When Dr. Smith, Provost of the
University of Pennsylvania, visited
our College, he gave a short talk!
in the College Chapel. He said in
part: "It is a grand privilege to
go to college. Of course there are
always some who don't want to go,
but those who do go never regret
it. There are times in our college
days when we don't like it, but twen-
ty-five years from now we will have
the scales removed from our eyes
and we will see clearly."
"No one should specialize until
he has a solid foundation upon
which to build. Several ways to do
this is to read the best literature,
choosing authors like Dickens, Scott
and Thackeray. These men's works
can be read and reread without
growing tired of them. Always be
thorough in your work, and play
fair. Remember that life is work
and while we are at work in college/
we are preparing for more strenu-l
ous work outside." I
"The time for serious and earnest
thought has come. There are seri-
ous problems arising in this day that
need thinking people to solve them.
Women have opportunities these
days that they never had before.
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
21
but now since women have the op-
portunity to do things it is up to
them to prepare for the work that
they have to do."
On the evening of December 6,
1921, the student body enjoyed the
lecture, "The Reign of the Com-
mon People", by Charles Eaton.
A number of our Volunteers at-
tended the Student Volunteer Con-
vention held at Princeton Univer-
sity. They enjoyed splendid ad-
dresses given by A. W. Moore, In-
dia; Dr. Farmer, Philippines; Dr.
E. M. Dodd, West Persia; Dr. Kumm
South Africa; La Shun, China, and
others. Those who attended the
Convention were Mr. and Mrs. Jesse
Reber, Mary Crouse, John Sherman,
Chester Royer, Enos Weaver, Prof.
Rose, Foster Bittinger, Francis
Barr, Nathan Meyer, and David
Brightbill. All report a very pleas-
ant and profitable stay at the Uni-
versity.
Many of our professors have been
busy during the school year hold-
ing Bible institutes in the various
churches throughout the Eastern
and Southern Districts of Pennsyl-
vania.
A debating council has been ap-
pointed by the President of the Fac-
ulty to forward the interests of an
inter-collegiate debate, which is
scheduled to take place between
Blue Ridge College and Elizabeth-
town College early in the spring.
Prof. I. S. Hoffer attended the
National Law Enforcement Conven-
tion held at Washington, D. C, Dec.
6-8, under the auspices of the Anti-
Saloon League.
On the evening of December 22,
the College Chorus Class rendered
a Cantata in the College Chapel,
entitled "The King Cometh."
At noon on December 26, 1921,
two delegates, Miss Margaret Cellig
and Mr. Jesse D. Reber, the Presi-
dents of the two welfare Associa-
tions, started to Chicago to attend a
Purity Conference held under the
auspices of the World's Purity Fed-
eration, which met Dec. 27, 28 and
29. They brought back a big mess-
age in behalf of Social Purity.
Because of the celebration of the
event of our Standardization,
Christmas vacation started Friday,
morning, December 23, 1921. At
noon January 3, 1921, the college
dormitories were filled with smiling
faces, and the halls again resounded
with happy voices, each wishing the
other a Happy New Year.

Life at its best demands individu-
al thinking.
Life is too brittle to fool with.
The way to attain to the highest
possibility in life is through sacri-
fice.
We should strive to bring free-
dom to the world rather than to
boast of our love for it.
We need men of moral backbone
in these days.
Everything we undertake in life
costs us something.
Count yourself richer that day
you discover a new fault in your-
self,— not richer because it is there,
but richer because it is no longer a
hidden fault.
Make sure that however good you
may be, you have faults; that how-
ever dull you may be, you can find
out what they are ; and that however
slight they may be, you had better
make some patient effort to get quit
of them.
That friend does us a true kind-
ness who tells us of the things in our
character which appear as blemish-
es.
To learn of a fault is an oppor-
tunity to add a new line of beauty
to our life.
A man is worth only as much as
he is worth to his fellowmen.
The shipwrecked sailor abhors

family circle in this world, and
whereas we deeply appreciate that
the loss of the counsel and guidance
of a father is irreparable :
Be it resolved that-
1. We the faculty and students
of Elizabethtown College hereby ex-
press our heartfelt sympathy to Mr.

to the rest of the family, in their
sorrow, and that we commend them
to the healing grace and peace of

satisfy our needs and more abund-
antly supply wisdom and counsel.

The merit of an educational in-
stitution is, in a very large measure,
estimated by the quality of workers
it furnishes the public. It is encour-
aging to a growing institution to
note that it has supplied trained
talent of practical worth in many
spheres of activity. The Senior
Class of 1906, though not so large
numerically, now has a splendid
record of trained workers doing
efficient service, and her Alma Mat-
er is gratified in having had so large
a part in making a commendable
class record possible.
Fourteen members, representing
five courses, constituted the 1906
class. Only three of these reside
in Elizabethtown at present. Two of
the number are members of our Col-
lege Faculty, — Prof. R. W. Schloss-
er, Vice Pres. of the College, now
on leave of absence as a graduate
student of Columbia University;
and Prof. H. H. Nye, Secretary of
the College, and teacher of History,
Social Science, and Economics.
Mae Dulebohn has been teaching
in the Elizabethtown Public Schools
for a number of years. She is in
charge of the Sixth Grade this year.
Luella G. Fogelsanger, who was
also a member of the '03 Class, the
first one graduated from the Col-
lege, was the only representative of
the Pedagogical Course in the '06
class. She is now a member of the
Faculty of Juniata College.
Mrs. Nellie Hartman Schuler,
whose husband died during the in-
fluenza epidemic, is still in Lebanon.
Ruth Stayer Hoover and family are
busily engaged in church work at
Johnstown. Hallie Campbell Ap-
pel resides at Kinzer, Pa.
C. S. Livengood and W. H. Thom-
as were the West Virginia boys of
'06. E'town College was the means
of changing one of them into a
Pennsylvanian. After marriage
Mr. Livengood located at Union-
town. He has since moved to Mech-
anic Grove and is farming. He has
four daughters in the public school
nearby. Mr. Thomas returned to
West Virginia after graduation, was
married to a Uniontown, Pa., lady
and has for some time been cashier
of a bank at Bruceton Mills, W. Va.
Wm. Foltz and family are living
at Columbia, Pa., where Mr. Foltz
is employed by the P. R. R. Co.

With the coming of cold weather
basket ball is becoming popular a-
gain. It is the favorite game on
College Hill. Even though we do
not have a regular varsity team as
yet, the interest taken is indeed very
commendable. Students are prac-
ticing continually and the spirit
shown during tin game speaks
for itself.
Basket Ball gives splendid exer-
cise to energetic students during the
winter months. Many who dreaded
physical culture when calisthenics
were engaged in now take part
cheerfully. Public games are held
every Thursday evening which are
well attended. The rivalry between
the different classes is a source of
interest for the students who, if
they are loyal rooters, will support
their team.
One of the games played was be-
tween the Financiers and the Liter-
ary boys. The great team-work of
the Financiers, who were mostly ex-
perienced players enabled them to
outplay their rivals. The game
was fast and furious but the Finan-
ciers could not be- halted, running
up a score to 35 points against 8 for
the Literary boys.
The greatest game thus far was
between the Fords and the Pack-
ards which was indeed a thriller.
Perhaps the names, when compared,
were not very thrilling, but in the
score of the teams there was not
very much difference. The players
for both teams were picked from
some of the best shooters on College
Hill. With Prof. Hoffer as referee
the game started amidst cheers
from the rooters. From the b'egin-
i:'ng both teams played a close,
g'.arding game, a". I a.s a re-
sult not very many field goals were
scored during the first half, with
the Fords leading by 11 points to
5 for the Packards.
At the beginning of the second
half the Packards recovered from
the fright given by the Fords and
began playing a fine brand of ball.
When the whistle blew for the end
of the second half, the two teams
were running side by side with the
score a deadlock at 19-19. There
was nothing else to do but to play
five more minutes to decide the is-
sue. With renewed determination
both teams again went to battle.
After a few minutes of play, Longe-
necker sent one through the net
from the foul line. This proved to
be the winning point, as the guards
were doing excellent work, and no
more points were scored before the
final signal was given, the score be-
ing 19-20 favor of the Packards.
The victory was mostly due to
the fine foul shooting of the Pack-
ards who placed eight through the
net from the free line against three
for the Fords. Longenecker with
six from the foul line and four field

Years
Last night a year died ;
It slipped off, outside
Of things that we know,
Along a way that years go.
When years met out there
In that strange place where
Time stops, they suddenly
Find they are eternity.
Then they speak the same tongue ;
The very old and the young;
And the New Year can show
Only what old years know.
Nothing that man has done
Since this old world begun
Has changed hunger, fear,
Love or death, year by year.
So the oldest year there
Knows of hope and despair,
And the last year that died
Tells of toil, loss and pride.
And they all understand
That man holds in his hand
Only water that slips
Thru his closed fingertips.
And but one thing is sure
Only love shall endure.
Louise Driscoll.

"Higher or Lower" on Pullmans
"Upper or lower?" politely asked
the man at the Pullman window in
the Pennsylvania Station.
"What's the difference?" asked
the smart Aleck.
"Well, you see the lower is high-
er than the upper, "said the arous-
ed Pullmanite. "And the higher
price is for the lower. If you want
it lower you will have to go higher.
We sell the upper lower than the
lower. In other word?, the higher
the lower. Most people don't like
the upper, although it is lower on
account of it being higher. When
you occupy an upper you have to
get up to go to bed and get down
when you get up. You can have
the lower if you pay higher. The
upper is lower than the lower, be-
cause it is higher. But if you are
willing to go higher it will be lower.
Which will you have?"

Half the pleasure of traveling is in the journey. The other
half is in reaching the destination.
When you start to save money, much of the pleasure comes
from the realization that you are traveling forward. There is
added satisfaction when a definite sum has been reached.

Our Work
Work! We hear so much about
it to-day. Some complain of having
too much of it; others complain of
having none at all. Probably it is
the latter complaint we hear most
frequently to-day, and have heard
for some time past. For a year or
more many home-fires have burned
low, while the dying embers on the
hearth reflected cheerless hearts,
little pinched faces, empty larders,
and hungry mouths. Why? Be-
cause father was laid off "out
of work !" Probably work of almost
every kind was never more heartily
welcomed and appreciated than it
is to-day by the great mass of huma-
nity.
In a recent lecture to a body of
students, Dr. C. C. Ellis, one of the
foremost lecturers of our state,
spoke of Happiness as being four-
square. On one side it is bounded
by Love, on another side by Wor-
ship and on the third side by Work.
Dr. Ellis reminded us that all three
of these were beautifully portrayed
in that famous picture by Millet
The Angelus. The square was com-
pleted by a fourth side which he
named Play. Sad to say, this fourth
side is all too often neglected, and
as a result we have such diseases
(peculiarly American) as nervous
breakdown, neurasthenia, and what
not! These four sides when evenly
balanced form a complete square
called Happiness; and all taken to-
gether they constitute a beautiful
and symmetrically developed
character.
I. S. Long, returned missionary
from India, remarked recently that
there were5 three very noticeable
traits characteristic of the American
people to-day, probably growing out
of conditions caused by the late war.
They are Faith ; an increased feeling
of Good Will toward our fellowmen;
and, thirdly, a willingness on the
part of all to work. He said it was
true of Virginia, at least, that men,
instead of hiring others to do their
work for them, had determined this
year to do it themselves.
Dr. Balkin, the character analyst
of Boston, has happily chosen as his
profession the art of telling "What
Job I am Best Fitted For." He has
the unique faculty of discerning
natural aptitudes by careful obser-
vation of facial expression, shape of
head and face, and general makeup.
He is believed to have contributed
much to the happiness of thousands
of persons by finding for them the
work for which they were best
fitted.
Have you found your work? Has
your work contributed its fourth to
the square of your happiness? Then
thank God reverently for that work.
Think of it as your friend. It has
often befriended you, perhaps at
times when you least regarded it.
It was so hard, so tiresome and irk-
some, you say? It was not nearly so
tiresome and irksome as the same

hours spent in tedious idleness. It
eased your distress and worry, it
made rest sweet, and best of all, it
brought with it its own reward.
You found yourself a force in a
great movement, stronger with
each achievement for the struggle
just ahead.

The Pillars of Democracy.
We may liken Democracy to a
large building having four gr.
pillars erected upon a firm founda-
tion. Floods of Autocracy, winds
of Bolshevism, beat upon this house
but it does not fall for it is fou
upon a rock laid by master archi-
tects.
This rock is symbolic of a so
whose basic principles disregard
blood or breeding, caste or cla
but which has merit as its criteria .i
of achievement; whose dream is al-
ways of a state in which no man
shall have mastery over another
without his willing consent, and
whose highest aim is ever the sov-
ereignty of the people with rulers
as the people's servants.
Upon such a rock rest the pillars
of Democracy. One of these m
nificent pillars is the Christian Home
But time has left its stain upon it.
The saddest patre in history is ti
which records the neglect of child-
hood in the home. Too many par-
ents have lacked prudence and jus-
tice in dealing with their childr
Indifference as to thrift, social p
ity, self-expression, and ideals oi
right and wrong has blighted ina
an unfolding life.
What does a weakened h
mean? A weakened home mea
a weakened people. It shoir
keenly noted that no other pill;
absolutely no other, can tal
place. To ] wn the
tian Home puts a greater s.
pon the other pillars and yet, how-
ever strong and able, these can nev-
.r perform the home's function.
A good Chirsian home is the res-
ervoir of the family strength, the
estorer of energy, and the comfort-
r of wounded spirits. Encircled
.nd hallowed by love, it is the abid-
ag place of the finest friendships.
n every true home the mellowing,
nriching, and inspiring influence
of love is diffused from foundation
o roof, even as the fragrance of
orange blossoms pervades the at-
mosphere at the bridal altar. When
such conditions exist we may truly
say, "Home is impregnable to the
lfluences of evil.
Another pillar of vital impor-
ance to the stability of Democracy
s the State. This pillar has been
larred by ignorance and lack of
ppreciation. Our boastful confi-
ence in Democracy has been a
loak behind which we hid our po-
itical and social sins. How »dare
re hide our wrong ! Shall we allow
his pillar to crumble? Will we
ermit humanity to dissipate? Nay,
erily, we must accept personal re-
ponsibility for seeing that the bal-
rt box speaks the truth, that its ut-
arances and dictates are in accor-
ance with American ideas, that
ur national and local expenditures
re kept within the limits of
ur income, and that our apprecia-
on of the state finds expression in
illing service to prevent or con-
uer existing wrongs.
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
13
Experience, however, teaches us
that when all are responsible no one
is responsible. Consequently we
definitely and urgently call for re-
formers and social engineers. Men
and women who will encourage
more intelligence in the expression
of our civic life; Rational minded
men who are willing to study sur-
veys, give lectures, supervise com-
munity organization and open li-
braries; leaders who combine the
spirit of the martyr, the audacity
of the pioneer, and the system of
the scientist; and statesmen whose
slogan ever is "The Community for
America and America for the
world." By such cooperative eff-
orts the strength of this pillar is
multiplied.
A pillar of no less importance is
the school. The School too shows
signs of deterioration. Who does
not agree with this statement after
knowing that five and one-half mil-
lions of American children above
nine years of age cannot read or
write and that there are one thous-
and schools in the state of Maine
alone having twelve or less pupils
enrolled. Shall we allow our youth
who chance to be born in the waste
places of our nation to be illiterate?
Will a nation that rides in automo-
biles allow its children to walk in
ignorance? Is Pennsylvania justi-
fied in being twenty-first in educa-
tion, when she ranks second in
wealth? These are momentous
questions which educators have ask-
ed the public.
The public has awakened. The
veil of ignorance has been cast a-
side. Far-sighted men are making
strenuous demands.
They are encouraging centraliza-
tion, consolidation and higher stan-
dards. But what does this mean?
It means that ere long there will be
a national system of education hav-
ing a representative in the national
cabinet; that children will be con-
veyed to large well-equipped school
buildings; that Democratic teachers
of professional training will teach
what they are best adapted for;
that salaries of educators will be in-
creased to secure their best
services, and that the dry bones of
subject matter will be clothed with
flesh and blood or real life. When
such a system of education becomes
universal it will establish and de-
fend the ideals of liberty, justice,
and righteousness.
The all important pillar of Dem-
ocracy is the church. This support
has been affected by the World war.
It has become in many communities
a social or ethical, rather than a re-
ligious agency. Shrapnels of disbe-
lief, shells of theological vain-glory,
have left their marks upon it. Some
of these marks may be seen in these
United States surveys. Millions of
children in Protestant homes are
not being touched by the education-
al program of the churches.
Twenty-seven million nominal
Christians receive no formal or re-
ligious training. The religious in-
struction of sixteen million other
Protestant children is limited to a
brief half hour once a week, sand-
wiched by a delayed preaching ser-
vice and the American Sunday din-
ner. "Let it be burned into the
14
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
minds of our church leaders that a
church which cannot save its own
children cannot save the world."
This is an urgent call for Chris-
tians of high calibre, — men who
realize that the soul of education is
the education of the soul; Chris-
tians who will promote Sunday
Schools, vacation Bible Schools, and
other schools of religious educa-
tion; leaders who will articulate
themselves with the web of present-
day life and concern themselves
with its tangles and troubles. Such
men will equip a generation of citi-
zens who are: Open-minded rather
than empty - minded; expressive
rather than receptive; tolerant yet
possessing convictions; broad and
sympathetic, but loyal to Christian
ideals for which they will struggle
and, if need be, die. Men and wo-
men of this type will strengthen the
Church pillar a thousand fold.
Friends of Democracy! Will you
not help to strengthen Her sup-
ports? If you lay claim to the bless-
ing of American Liberty you must
be prepared to pay the price.
Is it not clear that the price which
you must pay for liberty is the price
it costs to keep these pillars strong?
So long as our feet touch the earth
let us put a premium on one hund-
red per cent, manhood in relation
to the home circle; the interests of
the state, the highest type of edu-
cation, and the sacred cause of re-
ligion. Then, when earthly tasks
are completed, our developed spir-
its may leave this low-vaulted house
and enter the eternal home of bliss
where man shall be rewarded for
his labors. — N. M.
"Soldier Rest! Thy Warfare O'er."
To-day, with the leading nations
of the earth sitting in the Peace
Conference planning a compromise
for peace and its establishment, we
feel that the words of Sir Walter
Scott may soon be indeed a reality.
Out of chaos will come order and
respect for each other. But with
the reality of an era of peace and
good will among nations will come
many changes both materially and
educationally.
Men will cease to be making plans
to outdo their sister nation in the
arts and crafts of war and that ener-
gy will be devoted to something
more beneficial to nations. That en-
ergy may be expended in a great
industrial invention which during
war days was apparently spent in
inventing the best man-killer or
land-destroyer, violating, to say the
least, one of God's commands to the
human family.
When we do not want such things
any longer they will not be made.
When nations think of neighboring
nations as brother and sister, then
God who keeps and cares for us all
can look upon us with an eye of ap-
proval and will send his blessings
upon us, and His Holy Spirit will
direct our ways. How fitting then
that at our first session of the Con-
ference, nations should invite Him,
the Creator of all, to lead and guide
the work of the Conference.
This war has shown us that in our
people lay dormant many possibili-
ties for better and more enlightened
citizenship. Our people are wait-
ing to give their contributions in
their respective lines of work.
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
15
Intellectually the war has shown
us how great was the illiteracy
among our American boys. Amer-
ica had to first teach her boys to
read and write in many cases before
they could send them out to fight
the battles of the world.
There is a great revolution on at
present which is making a great
change in our educational system in
the United States. Our boys and
girls must get an education. There
is no way of escape. The more en-
lightened our people become the
greater will be the effect on us in-
dustrially. New ways of working
economically will be found and pro-
gress will be sure to follow.
"Soldier rest! Thy warfare o'er."
Some of the soldiers of the World
War have come home. Thousands
more have been laid to rest. May
they truly never wake to dream of
wars and may their last resting
place never be the soil on which
other boys shall give their lives in
another war. With the burial of
the 'unknown soldier' may we have
buried forever the reality and hor-
rors of war and bloodshed. M. O.
Lincoln's Ready Wit
While walking along Lincoln saw
one of his enemies coming toward
him, walking on the path. As they
met this man stood in the middle of
the path and said: "I don't get out
of the way for a Jackass." Lincoln
courteously stepped aside as he said :
"Well, I do."
• Quite a Stir
What a stir had been created on
the hill when the character analyst,
Dr. Balkin left. Do you wonder
why?
Several of our professors had been
analyzed by him and we students
were anxiously waiting to meet him
and have him tell us about our capa-
bilities, as well as our limitations,
when he escaped the crowd and left
the Hill.
It was interesting to us as stu-
dents, and will be to our alumni
also, to know what he said of some
of our professors. Students read
their teachers as much as teachers
ever study the students. It was a
lively student body that discussed
the newly discovered as well as the
already familiar qualities of their
teachers, as told by this wizard of
human nature.
Prof. Meyer has a very special-
ized brain which delights to go to
the ends of knowledge in a certain
field. He is quick in thought and
action (who of us has not learned
that by experience?) good to start
something with enthusiasm, and if
he is thwarted in one field he can
do something equally well in
another field. He is also credited
with being too good natured.
Professor HofFer is the philosophic
or thoughtful and deliberative type
of man. He likes to think his own
thoughts and compare abstruse
ideas. He will think three times be-
fore he acts, but when he acts he
carries things through to the end.
He has a fund of knowledge of all
kinds, is interested in many lines
of work, is tactful, friendly and
16
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
spiritual. He is a philosopher in the
real sense.
Prof. Leiter is a bug-ologist and
scientist, but is adapted to teach
many lines of work, which he has
done here already.
Other teachers had private inter-
views but, for some reason or other,
none has entrusted to students the
key to his personality.

Organized Labor.
Unorganized labor is a thing of the
past.
The Unions of to-day are now
growing fast,
Our nations prosperity must meet

Some people will tell you to boost

While the Union will stand like

Of critics and writers, who all try in

To crush the closed shops, with

Our President, J. G. Meyer, spent
part of the week ending Feb. 4 at
Blue Ridge College, as an instructor
in their Training School.
The Senior class are letting their
light shine on College Hill. They
have erected a five-lamp post on the
campus at the head of the drive,
two bracket lamps at Memorial Hall
entrance, and two lanterns at the
front entrances to Alpha Hall.
Among the good things we en-
joyed during the Bible Institute were
two lectures, or rather one lecture
given in two periods, by Dr. Pace.
It was his famous lecture, "The Law
of the Octave in God's World and
Work." Dr. Pace gave a striking
demonstration of the laws of the
universe and the inspiration of the
Bible.
During the week that Dr. Ellis
was with us, he lectured to the two
welfare organizations. To the Y. W.
W. A. he gave his noted lecture,
"The Four Corners of Happiness,
and to the Y. M. W. A. he gave the
lecture which may be obtained from
the Brethren Publishing House,
namely "The Call of the World to
a Young Christian Man."
The Student Council
At the beginning of this semester
the members of a new Student Coun-
cil were elected. The election re-
sulted as follows: Elias Edris re-
elected; Clarence Solenberger, Dan-
iel Myers; Margaret Oellig and Stel-
la Walker re-elected; and Anna
Brubaker.
We believe we have a very pro-
ficient council. The council whose
term expired at the end of the first
semester rendered very able service.
On the evening of January 30,
the Seniors went for a sleigh ride
in two bob-sleds. They went out
into the country about six miles and
reached College Hill promptly at
ten-thirty. It was a jolly time for
everyone on College Hill. The Seni-
ors thoroughly enjoyed the ride.
A very instructive Bible Term,
consisting of a two weeks' Training
School and one week of Bible In-
stitute work, was enjoyed by stu-
dents and visitors of the College.
The Instructors of the Training
School were Prof. R. D. Murphy,
President of Blue Ridge College j
Prof. M. C. Miller, Head of the de-
partment of Religious Education,
Bridgewater College ; and Dr. C. C.
Ellis, Vice President of Juniata Col-
lege.
The Instructors of the Bible Insti-
tute were W. S. Long, Altoona; I.
S. Long, a return Missionary from
India; and J. W. Lear, Bethany
Bible School, Chicago.

ECHOES FROM THE TRAINING
SCHOOL AND BIBLE INSTI-
TUTE JAN. 8-28
Sunday School Pedagogy
If God cannot work through a
man, He will work around him and
let him sit along the roadside. This
applies to mission work as well as
to that of the Sunday School.
Our mission problem is one of
money not men. The reason for this
is that people have not rightly de-
cided to whom belong the goods
which they call their own.
The best way to save ourselves is
to sa ve others. The most spiritual
person of a community is the one
who has poured out most of his life
for others.
Where your heart is, there is your
mind. Where your money is, there
Is your heart. If you have no in-
terest in the proposition of the Lord,
put some money into it.
In all our considerations of ser-
vice those who do most are paid
least.
Too often a man's success in life
is measured by material prosperity.
Pres. Ross D. Murphy,
Blue Ridge College.
Sunday School Methods
On the physical side of life we
have discovered that the child is
not an adult, but not so in the re-
ligious world. What goes into the
first of life goes into all of life.
The Bible is the course which
should be taught in the Sunday
School.
Each lesson ought to have a defi-
nite aim. Does the material always
fit the aim ?
Art is the greatest handmaid of
religion.
It is the business of the church to
guarantee men's religious activities.
Shall we become intelligent heath-
en?
The big demand today : — An ade-
quate system of Religious Educa-
tion.
The church must build a great
constructive program and do it im-
mediately.
Minor C. Miller,
Bridgewater College.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
Teaching and Learning Process
There are two kinds of books,
those of knowledge and those of
power — the first are those which are
constantly being replaced by others,
while the books of power abide.
Reading is the key which unlocks
the stories in books.
Good study involves the principle
of keeping one's mind on his work
and sticking to it.
Interest is the thing which helps
us to determine what we will do.
We need to do more than master
the material which we expect to
teach.
The head should always be bowed
in prayer over the lesson to be pre-
pared.
Develop the truth. Don't get it
intellectually without getting it also
into your life.
A great teacher has the ability to
put a thing in simple language.
Be temperate in good things but
abstain from the evil.
"Unconscious tuition" is the thing
caught rather than the thing taught.
The Master Teacher
Christ was the Master Teacher.
He came to save sinners which
meant a Gethsemane and a Calvary.
The greatest thing which a teach-
er gives a pupil is not subject mat-
ter but uplift which comes from
heart to heart contact with a great
personality.
Christ is a personality worthy of
the best imitation.
The morrow of Christ's earthly
life was ever dark, but not so dark
as to drive away the angel of hope.
A vision that encompasses the
world was one of the characteristics
of the Master Teacher.
Where Christianity
Christ.
is there is
Christ shed new light on old
truth.
The only theology which the
world needs is that of Jesus Christ.
The Teaching Relation
Good pedagogy is common sense
applied in the field of education.
Tact is to touch a situation in
the best possible way.
The teacher can prove that he
tried to teach, but the pupil alone
can prove that he succeeded.
The only right attitude a teacher
can take is the student's attitude.
Dr. C.C. Ellis,
Juniata College.

The tabernacle is a type of Jesus
Christ. We are Christ's because He
chose us.
The grace of God is God doing
for us what we cannot do for our-
selves.
The purpose of God in letting us
remain is to have people find out a-
bout Him through us.
There is no judgment day for the
Christian; that was accomplished
at the cross.
God wants us to see our position
in the hope that we will be worthy
of it.
You must be like God before you
can live in His presence.
The Holy Spirit helps us to discern
between true and false doctrines.
There is no other light but that
which Christians give.
W. S. Long,
Altoona, Pa.
Ceremonial Doctrines of the Bible
Baptism is important and essen-
tial because it was authorized by
God.
The rite of Baptism is not the end
of all things, but a means to the end
of all things.
Baptism is a pronouncement of
a death, because a soul that is dead
in sin must become dead to sin.
Christ did not tell the disciples to
wash one another's feet until after
He had washed their feet, then he
said, "Ye also ought to wash one an-
others feet." Christ always taught
by example or by parables.
We find the best pedagogy and
psychology in the teachings of
Christ, the Master Teacher.
Feet-washing is a symbol of meni-
al, humble service.
Fellowship is different in the
church than elsewhere, not because
we are with brethren but because
we are with God and Christ .
The communion prepares and fits
us for Christian service.
There is no such thing as Chris-
tian service except through the
death of Christ.
When we partake of the bread
and wine we proclaim the sacrifice
which has taken place for us. The
communion is a type which points
backward to the Cross, and also for-
ward to things when they shall be
complete in Christ. It is a symbol
of union between Christ and His
church.
The Anointing is not intended to
prepare us to die, but to heal the
sick.
Any one who is ready to live is
ready to die.
Laying on of hands at Baptism
and Ordination is a symbol of re-
ceiving the Holy Spirit.
J. W. Lear,
Chicago, 111.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
Four Corners of Happiness
Dr. C. C. Ellis, of Juniata College,
gave the girls quite a challenge
when he spoke to the Y. W. W. A.
on "The four Corners of Happiness."
Three of these corners, Love, Work,
and Worship, are portrayed in that
beautiful work of art, "The Ange-
lus," and the fourth corner is Play.
According to Dr. Ellis, happiness
is something that just happens to
us and to get real happiness we
must forget about our quest. There
is quite a close relationship between
work and happiness, for "Happy is
the man who has found his work."
Our work demands our first and
foremost thought and interest. Dr.
Ellis quoted from Bushnell: "Every
man's life is a plan of God's, but it
is for us to discover that plan.
After we have discovered the plan
the question arises, Are we able to
do it? Therefore, the former quo-
tation may be amended thus:
"Happy is the man who has found
his work and is able to do it."
Love is an important corner of
happiness for the life that knows
no love knows no real happiness.
There is no drudgery in the work we
do for folks we love. For instance,
there was a little newsboy whose
brother Jimmie was crippled.
Someone asked him if it wasn't
hard to support himself and Jimmie.
This brave lad said, "No sir, I should
say not, Jimmie's someone to go
home to, he's someone to divide with
and to share my luck with." Then,
too, we speak of going to church as
going to service or meeting, when
the fact is that we go to church to
learn how to serve better through
the coming week than we have ever
served during preceding weeks.
Beside work and love, there is a
real need for play, but then don't
let play take too large a portion of
life. Play for recreation itself, but
never be selfish even while you play.
If you can ask the blessing of God
on your play, as you should, then
you are safe.
Since there is no real happiness
unless we worship something in one
way or another, life would not be
rich in Christian experiences if we
did not have the love of God in our
hearts. There is remarkable power
in worship or prayer. General Foch
was conscious of this or he would
not have been on his knees while
the battle was raging. When the
news of victory came to Lincoln and
his cabinet, they knelt down and
gave God the honor for the victory.
If worship is gone from a life, de-
pend upon it that the finest and best
is gone. The memory of a godly
mother means, to a wandering boy,
coming home before the sunset of
life. Even though our round of
life seems small it is not small if it
is God's plan. Men live by work,
love, play and worship. Then it is
up to folks themselves to find their
sphere in life which will bring real,
geniune happiness throughout their
entire lives. A. B.

There is no such
answered prayer.
Chapel Notes
thing as
un-
Prayer is the sincere longing of
the heart.
The devil may answer the
prayers of our hearts as well as God.
Through faith in Christ we may
have the power to do the works
that He did and even greater works
than He did.
Let us not cease to stress foreign
missions, but let us put more em-
phasis on home missions.
There are two worlds; in the one
there is sorrow, disease and con-
fusion ; in the other there is harmony
and peace. The only remedy for
the ills of the former can be found
in the realm of the latter.
In order to get the most good
out of life we must have some one
to guide us who can see farther into
the future than we are able to see.
Some essentials to Spirit guidance
are: obedience, meekness, a deep
prayer life, and above all a willing-
ness to be guided.
Begin a new day as a new life,
and begin each day with God.
We may not all have many talents
but we all have one, and we can at
least be sincere in developing that
one to the largest possible extent.
God has his best gifts for those
who will take them. Most of us are
satisfied with the second best when
we might have had the best.
It is a fine thing to do one's whole
duty, but it is far better to do twice
as much as any one would have the
heart to ask us to do, and thus go
the "second mile."
The greatest thing secured in col-
lege is the inspiration from life con-
tact with great leaders.
The Time Between
When day is done, God sends the
the shades of night;
I fold my hands softly upon my
breast,
And then it seems one instant till
the morning light
Breaks in the East — so doth my
body rest.
When life is done, and I have said,
"good night,"
I shall not know that time has
passed away;
God keeps those hours between the
dark and light;
I close my eyes and wake to
Heaven's day.
Florence Belle Anderson

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
The Class of 1907 has the dis-
tinction of having four foreign mis-
sionaries among its representatives.
J. F. Graybill and wife were en-
gaged in church work in New Jer-
sey and in school work at Hebron
Seminary, Va., for some time after
going forth from the College. They
went to Malmo, Sweden, as miss-
ionaries in 1911. They came to
America on furlough in 1918 and
returned to their field of labor about
a year later.
B. Mary Royer went to India in
1913. She learned the Marathi lan-
guage which is used in the section
of territory in which she works.
She spent the year, 1920-'21, in
America on furlough. She returned
to her Alma Mater for school work,
completing the Pedagogical Course
in 1921. She is now at work at
Dahanu, Thana Dist., India, from
which place she wrote recently: "I
see so many opportunities for ser-
vice and am more glad each day to
be back.
Leah Sheaffer Glasmire com-
pleted the English Scientific Course
in 1907 and Wm. E. Glasmire, her
then future husband, completed the
Music Teachers' Course. They con-
tinued in school for some time as
students and teachers. They went
to Denmark in 1919. They have
four children, — Martin Alexander,
Charlotte, Joseph, and William, Jr.
Ruth Stayer Hoover and Estella
Hoffer Buffenmyer are active home
missionaries. Their husbands are
pastors of churches in Western
Pennsylvania, at Johnstown and
Uniontown respectively.
Only two members of the '07 class
are at present working at the Col-
lege; Prof. L. D. Rose as Librarian
and Prof. R. W. Schlosser as Vice
President. The latter is at the Col-
lege only occasionally because he is
pursuing advanced work at Colum-
bia University. Susan E. Miller is
employed in her home community
also. She is Secretary to the Supt.
of The Masonic Homes.
H. Bruce Rothrock represents the
class on the Pacific coast, living with
his family at 214 W. Sherman St.,
Newberger, Oregon. He is the
father of three children.

Basket ball is now in full swing
on College Hill. If there is any
doubt come and peep into the gym
between four and six o'clock each
Thursday afternoon. Recently the
gymnasium was decorated with new
foul lines which improve it consider-
ably, but we are looking for a new
gymnasium in the near future. We
think physical education is very es-
sential in every student's life.
The interest in basket ball was
at its height on the evening of Jan.
19, when a dual bill was played be-
tween the Senior and Junior boys
and girls. One reason for the
heightened interest was the first ap-
pearance of the girls on the floor
this year; another reason was the
rivalry between the Juniors and Sen-
iors. At four o'clock the gymna-
sium was filled to its capacity
spectators being crowded on the
windows and stairway.
The game was called by Prof.
Hoffer, after which the Senior and
Junior girls started the fray. The
game was exciting throughout, and
the interest was kept at high tide
by the continuous uproar from the
rooters. The game ended with the
Seniors leading, score being three
to two. The acore indicates the
splendid work done by the guards
of both teams.
After this contest, the Juniors and
Seniors boys began to show a fine
brand of ball. The Seniors had
their team working smoothly and
as a result the Juniors, with all their
tenacity, could not overcome the
strong Senior five. The splendid
work of the guards for both teams
is commendable. It was their fine
work that kept the score lowered.
The final score was 13 to 8 in favor
of the Seniors.
Following is the lineup:

Chauffeur's Luck
A blow-out which paid in gold
was a real pleasure to a California
man. While he was motoring thru
Yuba County hills he had a blow-
out. As he was jacking up the car
in preparation for making repairs,
he turned up a large gold nugget.

A Few Of Washington's Rules Of
Conduct
1. "Every action in company
ought to be with some sign of re-
spect to those present."
2. "Sleep not when others speak,
sit not when others stand, speak
not when you should hold your
peace, walk not when others stop."
3. "Read no letters, books or
papers in company; but when there
is necessity for doing it, you must
ask leave. Come not near the books
or writings of anyone so as to read
them, unless desired; nor give your
opinion of them unasked; also, look
not nigh when another is writing a
letter."
4. "Let your countenance be pleas-
ant, but in serious matters some-
what grave."
5. "Show not yourself glad at the
misfortune of another though he
were your enemy.
6. "They that are in dignity, or in
office, have in all places precedency;
but whilst they are young they ought
to respect those that are their equals
in birth or other qualities, though
they have no public charge."
"The one thought that runs
through all the rules of conduct is
to practice self control, and no man
ever displayed that most difficult of
virtues to such a degree as George
Washington" Lodge.
Clipped From "Essay On Last
Words Of Great Men By Mark
Twain
Shakespeare was ready to die and
as he drew his last breath said,
"England expects every man to do
his duty." And there was John
Quincy Adams who, when death
smote him in the House of Represen-
tatives, said "This is the last of
earth." Why the last of earth when
there was so much more left? If he
had said it was the last rose of sum-
mer it would have had as much
point. What he meant to say was,
"Adam was the first and Adams is
the last of earth," but he put it off
a trifle too long, so he had to go with
that unmeaning observation on his
lips. Queen Elizabeth said, "Oh, I
would give my kingdom for one mo-
ment more 1 have forgotten my
last words." And Red Jacket, the
noblest Indian brave that ever
wielded a tomahawk in defense of
a friendless and persecuted race, ex-
pired with these touching words
upon his lips, "Wawkawampanoo-
suc, winebagowallawsag amore-
saskatchewan." There was not
a dry eye in the wigwam.
Discovery In Economics
Talk is cheap because the supply
exceeds the demand.
"Because of the ancient belief
that the spirits of the Chinese bur-
ied in foreign soil cannot mingle
with those of their ancestors, nat-
ives of China have requested that
the bodies of 300 Chinese be disin-
terred at Cypress Hills Cemetery,
New York, and sent to China for re-
burial." Brief Topics.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
Editorials
Attitudes
Senior
Attitude, like personality, par-
takes very much of the spirit of the
individual. A personal attitude is
an expression of the inner spirit
as it reacts to the touch of a person
or situation or a whole institution,
if you please. Sometimes the atti-
tude of a single person of a group
is a fair thermometer of the whole
"attitudinal" atmosphere. Wheth-
er this is true of E. C. Seniors, or not,
may be hard to tell. However, the
general atmosphere, as sensed by
one of them, is not at all poisonous
or even unwholesome.
The E. C. Seniors this year are
not lacking in quanity. The ques-
tion is, Is there enough quality in
the class of '22 to salt the attitudes
of a whole Hill of non-Seniors?
There has been enough, at least, to
shed a ray of light over the Hill to
those who, on dark nights, could see
neither coming or going, accompan-
ied or unaccompanied.
That Senior, wherever he be,
who does not stand back of his class
and duly support its interests, — so-
cially financially, and otherwise, — is
hardly a fair "Senior Product,"
even though he may get away finally
with a degree or a sheep-skin.
E. C. Seniors make use of social
privileges once in awhile. A class
of Seniors who will not laugh at a
series of pranks played upon them
during a prolonged absence, — so
long as matters stay within laughing
distance, — need only to be remind-
ed of the time when they too were
young and energetic ! How many
years, fellow Seniors, since you
stood in your Junior brother's
place? Those who will not laugh
may play safe next time by getting
married or staying at home ! Life
need not all be serious.
Neither is life all a joke. That
Senior class which has not the stabil-
ity of character and dignity of bear-
ing to leaven the lump and set the
pace for a whole student body in
matters morals, social, and religious
had perhaps better soon jump off
and drop into the ranks of "Fresh-
man Ore" or "Sophomore Pig-iron."
To once more undergo the refining
process and be recast might bring
the desired result, — a sample
"Senior Product."
E. C. Seniors believe in healthy
athletics. Any college Senior who
is interested in the athletics of his
class, — a staunch supporter of fair
play, and equally repulsed by foul;
knowing how to lose a game as
gracefully and peacefully as to win
one, — need lend only his person or
his influence to each Senior game to
make his school athletics count
for cleaner and healthier manhood
and womanhood.
E. C. Seniors aim to be democra-
tic in their attitude toward their
fellow students. That Senior who,
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
11
because of being top-heavy, cannot
stand on the upper rung of the
scholastic ladder without kicking
the faces of those who stand on the
rungs below, deserves to topple off
his lofty perch ; and, if he escapes
with his life, to be jostled and el-
bowed a bit by his inferior ( ? )
schoolmen in his effort to climb back
again.
We Seniors who "knock" when
we ought to "boost;" blame when
we ought to praise; who weep when
others laugh and laugh when others
weep ; who shirk our tasks and then
blame the school or the president
for our failures; who know more
than our professors ever knew or
can hope to know? — need perhaps
only reverse the game now and then
"to see ourselves as others see us."
Our highest aim, nevertheless, is to
represent the true spirit of the
school.
Lastly, that E. C. Senior who does
not feel deeply grateful for the
spirit of sacrifice and good will
shown toward him by his teachers
and the supporters of his Alma
Mater; and who does not sooner or
later, by word or attidute, return
the compliment and show his ap-
preciation of that spirit, hardly de-
serves so much as "honorable men-
tion" in the historic annals of Eliz-
abethtown College. A Senior.
Juniors
Most writers define their terms
ere they begin to expostulate upon
any important subject. For this rea-
son we have chosen to qualify, clar-
ify, and enrich the concept "Jun-
iors!"
Juniors are students who have
survived after being brought
through Freshman furnace and
Sophomore rolling process. They
are students true as steel.
The ideal attitude of Juniors to
teachers and fellow classmates is
one of good will. Juniors, as a rule,
have caught the school spirit and
hence they do their utmost to pro-
mulgate it. This applies in debate,
athletics, or any other school func-
tion.
The relation of Juniors to lower
classmen is one of sympathetic
radiation of acts of helpfulness. For
in all things Juniors have been test-
ed and tried just as Freshmen are.
Juniors well remember that fiery
furnace where their Socratic teach-
ers mercilessly quizzed their dull
minds to expose their ignorance.
Juniors recall vividly when as
Sophomores they had more educat-
ion than Aristotle ever had, and how
the college rolling process brought
clown their haughty heads.
The Juniors' attitude toward
Seniors is one of obeisance as long
as principle is not sacrificed. If
Seniors ask Juniors to go one mile
they willingly suggest the feasibi-
lity of going twain. Juniors' per-
sonalities are thus revealed by their
sympathetic interest in their fellow
class-mates but more especially in
their dignified Senior pals.
True Juniors have high ideals of
sportsmanship. They are not gloat-
ing winners nor rotten losers. They
are always ready to give their vic-
torious opponents due congratula-
tions. They believe in playing the
game of life straight and hard, so
that they win even when they lose.

Xitcrarv
Curtis Surrenders On Condition
The train rocked comfortably,
the sunlight streamed down upon
the green farmlands, and Curtis was
speeding New Yorkward from his
home in Westchester County, for the
purpose of closing a deal that would
mean a fortune.
Yet he did not seem happy as he
slapped together the pages of the
book he was reading and let it slide
to the floor. "Sentimental slush!"
he muttered.
The article he had been reading
was "The Soul of an Old Maid!"
He had read it more than once and
certain phrases went straight to his
heart.
Curtis was a bachelor and never
thought much more of woman than
to regard her as an amusement and
as being a terrible nuisance. But
this woman's cry of loneliness had
pierced the wall of his bachelordom.
Upon arriving in New York he
took a suite at the Holland House
and that evening Curtis read the ar-
ticle again. He sat down at his
desk without an instant's hesitation
and wrote a line to the editor, ask-
ing for the name and address of the
woman responsible for "The Soul
of an Old Maid." He had a mental
picture of this Madonna beauty, —
hair soft brown, slightly streaked
in silver, of course; eyes blue, more
likely deep gray; and lips — Well!
he must see her.
When the reply came the editor
politely informed him that the
policy of the magazine barred the
giving of information relative to
its contributors.
The following day Curtis paid a
visit to the editorial office and asked
to see the editor. The editor looked
like the captain of a football eleven
as he entered the room.
Curtis said to him, "I have here
your refusal to grant a very simple
request of mine."
The editor, looking over the let-
ter, said, "We have sent out a couple
dozen of those within the past few
weeks and have here thirty pro-
posal of marriage for the lady."
Curtis said, "This is not my rea-
son for wanting to know the writer;
but it is to procure part of the ar-
ticle for a western magazine that I
have an interest in."
The only satisfaction Curtis re-
ceived was that he send a letter to
him, the editor, and he would see
that it was forwarded to the writer.
That night Curtis wrote a very
guarded letter, requesting merely
that she should agree to an inter-
view and that it might prove ad-
vantageous to both.
The reply read: "If I knew just
why you want to see me it would
be easier to decide." She gave no ad-
dress, requesting that he send his
reply care of General Delivery.
Her signature was Martha Fleming.
He answered, "There are certain
matters difficult to discuss on
paper." The correspondence con-
tinued for four weeks and in this
time he received ten letters from
her, but none of them gave him
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
13
much satisfaction or material means
of identification. And Martha
Fleming, General Delivery, con-
tinued to be her address.
Curtis sprang to his feet. One of
her letters had mentioned the de-
lightful, anticipation of her trips to
the Post Office each afternoon
That was the place to find her! A
little before two o'clock that after-
noon he entered the Post Office at
Park Row and Broadway. He had
spent over an hour on parade.
"Miss Fleming's mail please," he
heard suddenly.
Curtis turned and found a girl, of
about twenty-four years of age,
very pretty indeed. She glanced
over her mail and was gone. Curtis
followed, and after boarding a
northbound Broadway car he began
to reconsider. This was not her first
visit to the Post} Office because the
man in charge seemed to know her.
Some relative, no doubt, of Miss
Fleming's.
After descending from the car,
Curtis followed her toward Gra-
mercy Park. The girl mounted the
steps of a brownstone house facing
the Park. He was a few paces be-
hind her.
"I would like to see Miss Flem-
ing," he said.
She swung about, her lips moved
but no sound came from them.
Curtis smiled. "I asked for Miss
Fleming, don't be frightened."
"Oh, oh!" she gasped. "I wish I
had not done it! I am she."
"You!" remarked Curtis.
"Yes, I— I wrote the Old Maid
story. Writing is my profession. I
am so sorry about these letters. But
we tried the first one for fun, and
then I got the fever. 'It was all ex-
cellent material,' he said, 'I will be
able to make use of it.' "
"Who is he?" Curtis shouted.
"Mr. Phelps, editor of the maga-
zine. He is my husband."
By this time Curtis was down the
steps; and now he sleeps on his way
to town from Westchester.
P. U.
Rhyming Lines
Up in Juniata county, "
Nearly eighty miles from here.
Are the many, many landspots,
Which I loved in childhood dear.
There's the pleasant farm, the stone
house,
On which in summer green vines
cling.
Oh, how I do long to go there,
With the coming of the spring.
I see the horses, cows, and chickens
Which frolicked on the hill;
They seem to be 'most human,
To one who loves them, still.
There's the grey old country school-
house,
Standing on the Red Bank Hill.
Yes, we played around its corners,
Were the weather warm or chill !
Oh, the scenes of childhood days!
How their memory lingers near,
When I am far away from home
In the spring time of the year.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
Back To Nature
Nature is calling back its own.
For a great many years people have
been going to the city to get rich
quick, but today the pendulum is
swinging back to nature and to life
on the farm.
In our criticism of farm life ver-
sus city life we have been unfair.
We have contrasted the extreme
conditions in the city with the ex-
treme in the country. The average
home in either case would be the
fair test. In the city only the better
class of people count in society.
They do not have to undergo the
hardships of the less fortunate.
Their homes are homes where lux-
ury abounds, where every want is
gratified. The poorer class, if taken
care of at all, are cared for by chari-
table organizations.
Let us look at a home in the
country. It is usually very com-
fortable. Even though very plain
in furniture, it is a place where
virtue, intelligence, thrift and cour-
age are vital factors. Stability and
strength of character are developed
here to a degree unknown to the
city child. The country home is a
unit. The family work together for
the common good of all, while in
the city father goes in one direction
to his work, the boys one way, and
perhaps a daughter to some other
part of the city. They rush to and
from their work, and spend their
evenings in some entertainment to
be found in the city. In the country
more evenings are spent at home
reading good magazines; perhaps
being entertained by some good
music on the victrola. The average
home today has its "Ford" or "Over-
land" and thus they can go to the
nearby towns to occasional enter-
tainments.
Life on the farm is living as man
was intended to live. Living in such
close contact with nature, and con-
stantly being in the fresh air when
doing one's outdoor work, seem to
be real fountains of health-giving
water. A big proof that we need to
get in touch with nature is the city
park and its necessity. The life of
a city person demands occasional
times of rest and recreation. The
city park serves as a rescuer, and
we find over-worked, nervous folks
seeking its haunts daily. The bab-
bling brook, the green grass, and
opening bud of the spring, — all
bring us back to nature and the
Supreme Power who ' orders and
oversees it all.
Country folks are exempt from
the social evils so prevalent in the
city. Insanity and suicide are twice
as great in the city. The divorce
question is almost unknown to the
country as compared with the city.
Are not all these social evils a di-
rect violation of nature's laws?
Live a clean life, get back to nature
and be prosperous.
"To him who in the love of Nature
holds
Communion with her visible forms,
she speaks
A various language ; for his gayer
hours
She has a voice of gladness and a
smile
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
15
And eloquence of beauty; and she
glides
Into his darker musings with a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals
away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware."
M. O.
The Open Shop
On the Ope 11 Shop we all can count,
For the loyal workers there are found;
And they do their tasks with careful skill
As with joy their duties they fulfill.
The employer knows his men are true
And try their best in all they do.
New orders come so thick and fast
Folks say their goods are made to last
His men all work with might and main
And thus the firm's success maintain.
Each does his task with utmost care,
For he knows success is rooted there.
The employer tells them of his plan
For he knows that everyone's a man
And he says to each: "Your Wage I'll raise,
Your faithfulness deserves my praise.".
And when agitators there are sent
The seeds of selfishness to plant,
They say, "You can't impose on me,
For here we have prosperity."
"Your methods tend to cause a strike
To cripple industry you'd like;
You do not care how we might live
Just so to you our cash we give."
"And then you'd leave us to our fate
And go to some far distant state,
That there your poison you might spread
Until its men would cry for bread."
When union men are led to see
That unions give less liberty,
They'll throw their nonsense in the air
And work for bosses that are fair.
Then peace and great prosperity
Within each worker's home will be,
The reason any one can tell
The Open Shop has worked so well.

Sir Galahad
The picture of Sir Galahad wa.<
painted by George Frederick Watts,
whose paintings are of such a nature
as to suggest great thoughts that
will appeal to the imagination and
kindle in one's heart the best an I
noblest sentiments.
We see in Sir Galahad's face
wonderful determination. He was
of the finest type mentally and
physically of those who were going
in search of the purest and most
sacred treasure, — the Holy Grail.
Character marks the man, and the
sturdy white horse by his side adds
strength to the picture.
Sir Galahad is clothed in armor,
as was the custom of the knights
of old. He had passed through the
years of hardship leading to knight-
hood, and now he is ready to face
the world.
One might name the picture "Me-
ditation," for the knight is looking
into the great distant future. Per-
haps he sees the trials that lie in his
path ; the cold and hunger that will
come upon him; the disappoint-
ments that he will meet; but in the
distance he sees the objects for
which he will overcome all these
difficulties. He will bear all these
and even more ; he will sacrifice
life itself for that which he sees to
be his duty.
The picture is very popular. It
can be found in many homes, and
is the most popular picture in the
schoolroom.

16 OUR COLLEGE TIMES
Ankleshvar, India, Dec. 19, 1921.
To the Readers of the College Times: —
How often I wonder how the Elizabethtown College
family is getting along, — those who are there at present, and the large number who
have gone out from there. Frequently I hear about some thru personal letters and
I am always so glad for any news (good news I mean.)
Recently I had a visit with Miss Royer and she, gave me a great deal of
news, but the time was too short, so itj is to be continued sometime ; but when, I can
not tell. Before she went on furlough it was) nearly two years that we had not seen
each other. We are not a great distance apart, but not in the same language, so we
have a few less chances to meet.
We are having fine weather now, somewhat like America, though not cold
enough to need a fire to warm by; but the thermemoter registers fifty-five some
mornings and it will drop lower than that later on. How we do enjoy the good fresh
air when we do not think of the poor who have very little clothing and no bedding.
Sometimes I pity them and then I feel like scolding them, and maybe some of you
would call it that if you heard me| talk to them. So many of these people are so
shiftless and easily satisfied. I told them if they had a loin cloth on and a smoke pipe
in their mouth they were happy. They were surprised that I knew. It is true they
are not treated fairly by those for whom they work, and\ yet they are not anxious to
take the advice we give them.
The political unrest here has not helped conditions any. In some parts
there has been considerable loss of life and property and now in a few days the people
prophesy trouble in the last effort to gain Home Rule. The leader at the head of
this says if Home Rule is not gained by the end of this month, he will either go crazy
or die. He is already crazy enough, so his days may be few, for the Hindus see that
it is not possible to gain self government. The non-cooperators show their colors by
wearing a white cap made of homespun cloth, for all foreign cloth was to be burned,
but it wasn't. Well these white cap fellows are as inconsistent as they can be. They
take advantage of every comfort and convenience that Government gives; even the
leader, Mr. Ghandi, will sit in an auto rather, than an ox cart or go on foot.
Many of the poor and ignorant have been influenced to leave Government
employ and are without anything to do now. Some five thousand young men were
ordered to leave the Government institutions of learning and are nowhere in school
today. In short, many of the India people are utterly disgusted with the move.
Some have had fears that it would not be safe for the white person but
so far we have had no fears. Around here it has been quiet.
Not. many days till Christmas. One: time I received a letter from some1 one,
wondering whether we have Christmas at the same time as you had in America.
Well India is far behind the times, but in this she is up to time and we celebrate the
day, not quite when you do, but begin ten hours before you do. Our Christian
people on this day do much like many people at home on Easter Day, they all come
out in new clothes if at all possible. The giving of gifts is practiced. We often
receive boxes of things from home, as well as money, to be used at this time, so we
remember the children and the very poor. An offering is taken at the Christmas
service for some special purpose.
A beautiful practice among our Christians is to come early, while yet dark,
on Christmas morn and sing Christmas Carols. The first time I heard it, I thot are
the angels in heaven singing? I had not been told and so was surprised.
My letter is getting too long, but I do not often take any space in the
Times; that is one comfort.
The season for touring in the village is oni now, but I have been hindered
from going out this month but hope to go out early in January and stay out till
the hot weather sets in, about March first.
Only one more season after this till my furlough is due. It seems but
a few years that I was in the homeland and when the time comes to leave one has
a mingled feeling, — sorry to leave, yet glad to once more see the native land and
people.
Good wishes to the whole College Family. Sincerely,
KATHRYN ZIEGLER.

John Sherman was deeply ab-
sorbed in a philosophy lesson. One
of his chums was trying to get his
attention but his efforts were all in
vain. John's thoughts were roam-
ing in the field of eclecticism. Fi-
nally John was ready to respond,
and before his pal could speak
another word he said,
"My Past is an exclamation,
My Present is an interjection,
My Future is a question, yet
I hope to be a star some day."
The Homerian Literary Society
have recently revised their constitu-
tion. We feel that this is a big step
for the Society. Prof. L. D. Rose
has contributed very liberally to the
success of this work. This con-

literary society constitutions that
can be found.
Mr. L. M. Miller, State Student
Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., re-
cently paid us a visit. Mr. Miller
gave the gentleman an interesting
address, and also spoke to the entire
student body in the chapel.
Our Student Government has
taken another forward step. The
Y. M. W. A. has recently adopted
certain regulations and penalties

On the morning of February 21
Prof. Meyer agreeably surprised
the student body by announcing a
holiday for February 22.
On the morning of February 22
the students came to chapel to en-
joy a Washington Program. The
regular chapel services were con-
ducted by Ephraim Hertzler, the
president of the Senior Class. This
was followed by an interesting pro-
gram which ended in a number of
round table talks on patriotism.
The meeting was closed by Clarence
Sollenberger, the president of the
Junior Class.
Rev. E. F. Yoder, pastor of the
Church of God of Elizabethtown, re-
cently conducted chapel exercises
and gave a forceful address on the
subject, "How Can Man Be Justified
Before God?"
A Valentine social on Valentine
evening was enjoyed by the students
and members of the faculty.
Elder J. S. Noffsinger of Brook-
lyn, N. Y. was with us a few days
ago, having come as a representa-
tive of the General Education Board
of the Church of the Brethren of
which Board he is a member. This
was his first offical visit to our in-
stitution. While here he conducted
chapel services and gave an inspir-
ing address to the student body.
Miss Mineva Neher of Bethany
Bible School, Chicago, spent a few
days with us recently. During
chapel exercises she gave two ad-
dresses full of the spirit of devotion
and consecration.
Recently the Crawford Adams
Company gave a recital as one of
the numbers of the College Lecture

A few mornings ago Pres. J. G.
Meyer read the acceptance of the
invitation sent to Ex-Provost Smith,
of the University of Pennsylvania, to
be the Commencement speaker on
June 8.
The Y. W. W. A. recently cele-

These are splendid mottoes for

We should know how to forget past

The reason so many are held down
is because they go on thinking
about their successes in the past.

If we don't function with out souls

Our most precious possession is

therefore, we have only one chance
to live. What shall we do?
There are two possibilities, to
20
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
choose the high road to world
service or the low road to world
selfishness. Our personality should
help us to decide. God has given
each one of us possibilities to be
developed. We must be gripped
by a great, unselfish purpose that
will keep us on our tiptoes all the
time. The individual should feel
the smallness of self as over against
a big task.
We have the one thing which the
world needs. Are we going to close
our eyes to these world needs and
pass around on the other side?
The real reason that we should
live the sacrificial life is because
Jesus is our Master; He has first
claim on our lives.

Pinnacles in Civilization"
Our present civilization is the
outgrowth of a gradual unfolding
of events from the dawn of man's
existence to the present time,
and many and varied have been the
contributions made to its progress.
It is a closely interwoven heritage
that has come down to us through
generation after generation, involv-
ing centuries and even millennia in
its making. It came, however, not
through an unbroken line of events
with every movement in the same
direction, but rather through a
series of elevations and depressions,
of ups and downs, some tending for
the better and some for the worse.
The reign of a Pericles might send
civilization one hundred years
ahead of its time, whereas a Greek
civil war may set it back no less
than a hundred and fifty years at a
pace fully as great or even greater.
One of the interesting facts con-
cerning this development is that
while ages and peoples in the past
have made their particular contri-
butions to civilization, other nations
and peoples are still making their
contributions and will continue to
• do so as long as time lasts. Some of
the chief means of transmission
from generation to generation have
been literature, works of art, social
traditions and customs.
Of all ancient peoples whose con-
tributions have directly or indirect-
ly influenced our Western civiliza-
tion, four stand out as pre-eminent
whose culture has profoundly af-
fected our own national thought
and conduct. Suffice it merely to
mention here in their order the
names of these peoples with their
special contributions, with more de-
tailed reference later to the first
one and its influence. The first of
these is the Hebrew nation with its
ethics and religion ; the second is
Greece with its art and philosophy;
the third, Rome with its govern-
ment and law ; and the fourth, the
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
21
ancient Germans whose contri-
bution was given largely in the tra-
dition of individual liberty, shown
in the spirit of the Renaissance and
the Reformation.
To the Hebrew nation, then, is
ascribed this most important of all
the contributions to society, a
standard of morality and religion,
— one which, as Elwood says, is
conquering the world — a fact that
cannot be denied by the scientific
student of culture, no matter what
he may happen to think of the
ethics or the religion.
This ethical and religious supre-
macy held by the Hebrew nation
was not attained, however, at a
single bound. As a people it grad-
ually ascends the scale of value's
till it reaches the pinnacle of
Christ's life, and then from /this
mountain peak decend on all sides
the streams of influence which
shall flow to all the world — some of
which have flowed down to us in
our present civilization, watering
many a thirsty land along its course.
In tracing this Hebrew ascend-
ancy, we see first Abraham chosen
of God to be the father of His
people. God probably saw an
Abraham a type of moral and re-
ligious personality which was rare
in that day and age — one which
would serve Him well as the pro-
genitor of a race morally fit to usher
in the Messiah. Thereupon He
makes a covenant with Abraham
with the most profound and far-
reaching promise ever made to man,
— that his (Abraham's) seed
should be as the stars in the heavens
for multitude, and that in him shall
all the nations of the earth be
blessed.
Later on when the life of the
people merges into that of a nation,
this same covenant is renewed with
Moses on Sinai. Still later the prom-
ise finds its wider and still more
comprehensive outlook in the inter-
national Gospel covenant made and
sealed in the life and death of Christ
himself.
The above is a panoramic view
beginning at ,a mere point, with
each following dispensation spread-
ing to ever-increasing proportions;
from personal to national and from
national to international boundaries.
In each instance it seems that the
obligation incurred by man, as the
other party to the covenant, was a
moral obligation of obedience and
faithfulness.
May we not infer from this, then,
that God chose the morally best He
could find to begin with; and that,
since the issue was to be a moral
and religious or rather a spiritual
one, it was this phase of life that
needed to be maintained or attained
above everything else in that nation
from which was to come a perfect
representation of the character of
God himself, in an only begotten
Son? A people morally degenerate
could not possibly perform this miss-
ion to the world. It was this moral
and religious character of the na-
tion that would give it the needed
prestige to make its contribution
acceptable to current as well as to
later civilization.
But just as in the whole course
of civilization there were elevations
and depressions so the moral and
22
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
religious making of the Hebrews
passed through valleys of disobedi-
"ence and sorrow; from mountains
of divine revelation to lone wander-
ings in the wilderness ; from national
prosperity to abject slavery and cap-
tivity in a foreign land. All this
indicates that they had to be purged
of their sins as by fire. Their dis-
obedience and captivity present the
darkest side of the picture; but
their return, free forever from idol-
atry and with a renewed loyalty
to God, reveals something of the
brighter side.
The Biblical narrative depicts
much in the moral and religious
character of the Hebrews which
looks dark and foreboding and just-
ly so, but where in all the pages of
history could a contemporary na-
tion be found which did not fall far
below the Hebrews in the scale of
morality and religion? As a people
they were monotheistic in belief,
their family life and ideals far sur-
passed the best that can be said of
their heathen contemporaries; and
the fact that Assyria and Babylon
turned their captors does not say
that they were better or even as
good as Israel or Judah. Far from
it. They were only handy tools
which served to purge this chosen
nation of much that was still dross
and stubble.
The law had been given for their
moral and spiritual uplift; leaders
and prophets arose among them for
their inspiration and correction,
sorrows and tribulations had to be
multiplied for their purification;
men were tried and sifted ; and then
in the fullness of time Christ came.
It was the 'fulness of time' not only
with respect to the Hebrews, but al-
so in respect to the then civilized
world, — particularly of a Greece
and Rome, — whose open arms
seemed purposely extended to re-
ceive Him. In the birth of Christ,
then we have reached the highest
pinnacle in all the contributions to
civilization.
The descending streams of influ-
ence from this mountain peak will
be traced briefly as follows : At the
fountain head of the stream was
now the personality of a God-man
with power to constrain men unto
personal purity and to bring them
back into unity with God; love be-
came now the bed-rock determining
the flow of the current; while ser-
vice became the current itself.
The great commission designated
as the objective points for the Gos-
pel message, first Jerusalem, then
all Judea and Samaria, and lastly
the uttermost part of the earth.
True to the commission, the streams
of influence have flowed outward in
the exact order named, with only
the complete fulfillment of the last
point indefinitely prolonged.
The course of Christianity which
received such tremenduous impetus
during the first two or three centur-
ies received its set-back in the Dark
Ages when all that then flowed was
a mere undercurrent of true pietv
and faithfulness. However, with the
enlightenment of the Protestant Re-
formation Christianity again looms
u;; into power since when its influ-
ence has been a dominant factor
in civilization. Its power can be
traced to our modern home and in-

strong articles in the literary section
and with well balanced editorials.
The Spectator, McPherson Col-

with a proficiency approaching
that of a metropolitan daily. Other
college weeklies of the same type
and standard are the Ursinus Week-

These two teams had met before,
and the Literary players had been
outclassed by a large margin. This
time they were out for revenge. The
game started with the gymnasium
filled to its capacity. The playing
became more intense and exciting
as the game proceeded. The Liter-
ary men had on their fighting togs
and for a time had things their own
way. They started with such a
spurt that their opponents were be-
wildered. The first half ended with
the Literary boys leading by the
score of 15 to 13. Soon after the
second half opened the Commercials
began to show their real strength
when they broke through the de-
fence of the Literary boys. The
latter were taken unawares and
soon were in the rear. The final
score was 34-19 in favor of the
Commercials. Longenecker, Eshle-
man, and Grubb shared shooting
honors for the Commercials, each
bagging four field goals. Myers
was the high scorer for the Literary
players, having four field ]goals and
five fouls. Following is the lineup
and score:
Commercials

On the evening of Feb. 24, the
Juniors and Seniors met for the sec-
ond time this season, the latter hav-
ing won the first game, 13-8. Now
the Juniors were out to get revenge
but it was of no avail. The Seniors
ha'J their quintet working smoothly
and nothing could stop them. They
had their opponents guessing by
their fine passing, and won by the
score of 26-14. Longenecker and
Myers shared shooting honors, each
bagging four field goals and two
foul goals. Who will be their next
victim?
OUR COLLEGE TIMES

Not only has the spirit of basket
ball gotten into the boys, but the
girls are also very much enthused.
Their games are played Wednesday
evenings and there have been some
interesting contests. One of the
closest and most exciting games was
played between the Blues and the
Reds; those playing for the Blues
were E. Trimmer, Walker, Margaret
Oellig, M. Minnich, Grubb and Roy-
er; for the Reds: Gerberich, R.
Minnich, Hart, L. Trimmer, Miriam
Oellig and H. Ziegler. The final
score was 10-9 in favor of the Blues.
E. Trimmer with five field goals
takes all the shooting honors for
the Blues. Gerberich scored eight
of the Reds' nine points, while R.
Minnich scored the other point.
The game seesawed back and forth,
no side being sure of victory until
the final whistle blew. We are sure
that the girls are making a success
of it. Go to it girls ; it is yours to
keep.

Editorial
There are some people so healthy
that to be with them seems to make
us more healthful and happier.
They have the gift of bringing
with them an outdoorness of sun-
shine, mountain air, and strength
which breathes itself into the weak
and the ailing.
It is always morning for a long
time after they have gone on their
way.
It's not simply a boisterous person
that has rushed in and out, but one
who has a grip of right-mindedness
with a readiness to share it with
others.
Governor McKinley, afterwards
President McKinley, the martyr,
like Abraham Lincoln, once said to
a friend with whom he was dining,
"I feel it a duty to impart a good
idea or an upward impulse to every
man I meet.
Stories
The Success of One of Our Students
as a Hunter
Mr. Paul Grubb a well known
hunter and trapper of Palmyra, re-
lates the following story of his hunt-
ing trip last fall. "As I was walk-
ing along in a woods near Palmyra,
looking for game, I saw a rabbit
28
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
lying beside a rock. I pulled up my
gun to fire and I'll be blamed if an-
other rabbit didn't come out and lie
down on the other side of the rock.
I fired at the sharp edge of the rock,
the bullet split in two and killed
both rabbits. By this time I found
myself lying in a brook which was
back of me, owing to the kick of the
gun. My right hand landed on a
muskrat and my left hand landed on
a beaver. When I got up my trous-
ers were so full of brook trout that
they burst one suspender button
which flew and killed a partridge."
Mr. Grubb relates this as the end
of a perfect hunt.
The best day for doing your best
is the one that comes seven times
a week. Forbes.
Athletic Notes
Mr. Daniel Harshman and Mr.
Daniel Myers, two of the school's
best athletes, will compete in the
finals of the household and needle-
work contest. There is quite some
talk as to the final outcome, but we
can be sure the best man will win.
Both of the contestants are in good
condition? as they have been practic-
ing for considerable time. Every-
body is invited to attend this meet,
which will be held on the baseball
diamond on the next 29th of Feb-
ruary.
Marvels of Science
If a man were to take a common
sewing needle up in an airplane to
the altitude of seventy miles, nine
inches, then drop it, the heat gener-
ated by its friction with the air in
its downward course would be great
enough to convert all the water in
Lake Superior into steam.
The Young Innocent
"You ought to have seen Mr.
Marshall when he called upon Sis
the other night," remarked Johnny
to his sister's beau, who was taking
dinner with the family. "I tell you
he looked fine a-sitting along-side
of her, with his arm "
"Johnny!" gasped his sister, her
face the color of a boiled lobster.
"Well so he did," persisted John-
ny. "He had his arm "
"John!" screamed his mother
frantically.
"Why", whined the boy, "I
was "
"John," said his father sternly,
"leave the room !"
And Johnny left, crying as he
went: "I was only going to say
that he had his army clothes on."
Helpful Advice
Doctor — "It's nothing to worry
about, merely a little boil on the
back of the neck. But keep your
eye on it."
American Legion Weekly.
"Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my
hand,
Little flower — but if I could un-
derstand
What you are, root and all, and all
in all,
I should know what God and man
is." Tennyson.

Half the pleasure of traveling is in the journey. The other

When you start to save money, much of the pleasure comes

added satisfaction when a definite sum has been reached.

Conscience or Crowd
Every normal person wants to do
the right. On College Hill this may
be seen in our Societies, in our Wel-
fare and Volunteer meetings. Who is
not moved by a noble impulse when
a sincere person contributes con-
structively to any organization?
Alumni, may we whisper a word
to you? Recently certain members
of your number out of their poverty
donated certain gifts to this institu-
tion. If you could fully realize the
thrill that students experience when
such gifts are given you would un-
doubtedly join the ranks of these
givers. The crowd says "get" while
conscience says "give."
Shall we be slaves to the crowd?
Must we cater to their wishes even
though we differ with them? Dr.
Eastman says, "The fear of what
They might say is often sufficient to
drown the voice of duty and make
us ashamed of our noble impulses.
They make cowards of us. We
should like to patch up that quarrel
with the old friend, but we are a-
fraid They will say we are weaken-
ing.
We should like to tell So-and-So
in the spirit of friendship that we
think he is making a fool of himself,
that he isn't living up to the best
there is in him, that he is going to
wake up some day and find himself
on the moral dump-heap, but we are
afraid They will say we are intrud-
ing.
We should like to give a helping
hand to a stranger, but we are afraid
They will say we are forward.
We should like to discontinue
some of the ways we have fallen in-
to but we are afraid somebody will
say something, — call us "goody
goody" or say we are getting con-
verted,— and of course we could
never stand that.
We should like to stand out in our
school and young people's gather-
ings everywhere for standards that
are high and clean, — but what will
They say!
The path of service is a rugged
path, but those who climb it are
assured of ultimate victory. Dr. A.
tells the story of a Mr. B. and his
fight at Harvard. He entered Har-
vard College when the moral stand-
ard among many of the students was
low. Ideals were in the shadow.
Character was a romantic thing
for the sentimental only. But young
Mr. B. lived his four years squarely
and steadily, keeping the best to the
front and making his life count by
way of example and influence. It
was up-hill work, but one by one
other men took the same stand; and
when Class Day of his senior year
came and the class wished to ac-
knowledge the strongest one of them
all, and the man who had done most
to tone up the life of the College,
they singled out Mr. B. and gave
him their united honor.
They may call you "fool" now;
your best friends may call you
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
11
"fool" but if the experience of the
past is valid, your children will
call you "Saint" and their judgment
will be right. You may not be pop-
ular; but you will be respected. You
may not always have the most pleas-
ant time in the world, but you will
be useful."
Shifters
"Shifter" is a variable term to-
day. It may apply to anything
from a railroad engine to a student
in college. The name might indi-
cate almost anything, — good, bad,
or indifferent, — but the recent fad
styled the "Shifters" assumed rather
awkard and absurd proportions in
some localities much to the chagrin
of some of its participants.
Surprising, is it not, that a blind
movement, like a hurricane, should
sweep a continent from coast to
coast in a week or less, taking every-
thing in its wake, — hamlet, city,
and rural district? More surprising
still is the fact that the schools and
colleges of the land, — instead of
withstanding the storm and its de-
moralizing influence, — fell in its
wake, increasing the acceleration.
But most surprising of all it is to
find that the storm center should be
located in a prominent and leading
university of the East. It would
have been far less surprising had it
sprung from a poor-house or a re-
formatory. Inmates of a poor-house
might have some excuse for trying
to get something for nothing."
Whatever may have been the
motive in creating the fad, fear of
being dubbed a "poor .sport" was
probably the paroxysm that seized
upon the heart of its victims. Col-
leges and universities that boast of
their enlightenment could better
prove their boast by running counter
to a "shifters" movement, than by
instigation or by quiet and calm ac-
quiesence.

Crumbs From the Rich Man's Table
The America of Today and
Tomorrow — by Newell
Dwight Hillis
No other nation ever made so
much progress as America. All her
progress is based on the Bible.
Every man must be his own priest,
his own cardinal; must think, speak
and act for himself industrially, poli-
tically and religiously.
When the cheap land of America
is all gone, the Huns and Vandals
will rise up from our mines and loot
out cities.
Intelligent men and women do
not care for compliments, but they
will pay cash for true criticism.
America stands ninth in education
of her people. Education is wealth.
Raw material cannot bring a great
price unless education is used with
it.
Wisdom is better than rubies be-
cause wisdom can manufacture rub-
ies.
We need men like Edison and
Burbank to use brains in the service
of mankind.
Twenty people in a hundred in
United States are illiterate.
Do not under-estimate study.
You can't put too much stress on
obedience to the laws of God and
sound learning.
We have been producing things
and hiring scholars.
Bad in America is growing worse.
Good in America, growing better.
Little by little we become over-
brained and underbodied. The
brain shakes the body to pieces.
Many a young man explodes his
own ideas while the back kick
knocks his own brains out.
Nothing tests a country like its
typical building. Ours is the luna-
tic asylum.
Read widely
Think profoundly
Keep faith in great convictions.
Checking Up
A colored boy walked into a lo-
cal drug store and asked permission
to use the telephone ; then he called
up Mr. Jones and the following con-
versation took place : —
"Is dat you Mistah Jones?"
"Yes."
"Well Mistah Jones, did you get
a colored boy to answer your ad?"
"Yes."
"Is he giving perfect satisfac-
tion?"
"Yes."
"Well Mistah Jones providin'
this colored boy don't give satisfac-
tion, you call me at 504."
The colored boy turned and start-
ed out when the druggist who had
overheard the conversation remark-
ed.
"You didn't do any good, did
you?"
"Yas Sir," came the reply "Fse
dat boy dat's workin' down there
and Fse just checkin' up."

True Patriotism
What is true patriotism? Is it
the shouting of hurrahs, the beating
of drums, the tramping of martial
feet? Or is it hoisting the flag
openly while secretly locking up
coal in the mines, storing up food-
stuffs for a higher price, while wom-
en and children suffer from cold and
hunger?
We think that a man must wave
a flag, that he must fight, that he
must die in order to be partiotic,
while secretly he can indulge in pro-
fiteering, oppress the poor, be a
menance to society, and yet be
called patriotic.
What, then, is true patriotism?
Every American knows how nobly
our forefathers fought, bled, and
died on the fields of battle; how
they suffered hardship and endured
pain. But to what purpose? — that
they and their posterity might en-
joy economic, intellectual and relig-
ious liberty. They fought for the
eternal principles of truth and free-
dom. They were true patriots.
Merely because they fought? No!
But because they had the moral
courage, the backbone, to stand for
that which was dearer to them than
life itself — liberty. That spirit was
the germ of true patriotism.
,True patriotism is living construc-
tively for one's country. True
patriotism is building good homes.
C. T. Blanchard, a statistician of
the Government Reclamation Ser-
vice, said that sixty per cent of the
American people may be classed as
forces of disorder and discontent,
socially and otherwise, because they
have no homes. This nation needs
more patriotic men and women to
build good Christian homes, who
will bequeath to the future, children
that have physical vigor, moral sta-
mina and an unfailing grip on things
divine. Men and women who are
today living clean, spiritual lives
and who transmit to their children
good, sound, healthy bodies and
minds are truly patriotic and are a
blessing to this nation. Men and
women who, in their disregard for
the future, transmit to. their chil-
dren weak bodies, weak wills, and
weak minds are not only not patri-
otic, but are a curse to this nation.
The first impulse of patriotism and
morality is germinated, nurtured
and largely, if not entirely, devel-
oped in the family circle. How im-
portant then is the home to the na-
tion ! A Roman orator once said
that the Empire was at the fireside
and when the homes of the Roman
Empire was destroyed, Rome fell.
The home builder is a true patriot.
True patriotism means serving the
state, lifting up the ideals of the
American people and inspiring all
men to grasp the sublime principles
of truth and right. This requires
education. A true patriot will see
to it that the United States will not
stand ninth among the nations of the
world in education. The people of
the^United States must come to real-
ize that the teachers hold the key
which keeps the doors of civilization
open. They must be regarded with
14
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
respect and be given remuneration
in proportion to their importance in
society. America must see to it that
not more immigrants come into this
country than we can absorb, and
must make impossible the coming of
undesirable immigrants.
A true patriot will, serve his city
his state, his nation to the best of
his ability. He will do nothing for
his own selfish ends, but everything
he does will be for the greatest good
to the greatest number. Here the
nation's problems will be his prob-
lems. The nation's sorrows will be
his sorrows. The nation's joys will
be his joys. A true patriot will
work for a high standard of ethics
to be established in this country.
He must be a true follower of Chitist
in order to do this. He must base
his ethics on Christian principles.
We have some patriots who are
always ready to spend millions of
dollars and sacrifice many lives for
the sake of a few citizens who have
been killed by another nation. But
where are they when millions of
people die of disease and starvation
and become morally blind because
of ignorance? How much money
do they appropriate to avenge the
death of these victims? And yet
they are called patriots.
The true patriot, is the one who
gives his money, his time and his
rery life to remedy these evils, to
satisfy hunger and prevent disease
and crime. He loves his fellowmen
more than he loves himself. He
eases pain and brings joy and hap-
piness to the lives of all he meets.
He gives all for his country. Liv-
ing in Christ he has lost sight of the
mean, low, selfish things. His is the
true patriotic service.
True patriotism in the last analy-
sis is the evangelization of the
world. America in order to save
herself must save the world. We
must give America, her principles
of Liberty and Christianity, the fun-
damental truths upon which she was
founded, to the world. The Chin-
ese, Japanese, Africans, Filipinos
and Mexicans need America. The
true patriot will give her to them.
True patriotism catches its inspi-
ration from God, is fostered and de-
veloped in the home, spreads over
this nation and extends to the far-
thest ends of the world. • This high,
sublime emotion, which spreads its
wings and soars toward heaven,
leaving far below pride, vanity and
egotism, is enveloped by the thought
of the good and glory of one's coun-
try. That patriotism which leaves
behind all smaller, lesser, personal
interests and feelings, which ani-
mates and arouses men to deeds of
self-sacrifice, of valor and devotion,
— that is the noblest, the sublimest
of all public virtues. D. B.

SPRING AND ITS DELIGHTS
*'Oh, such a commotion under the ground
When March called, "Ho! there! ho!"
Such spreading- of rootlets far and wide,
Such whispering- to and fro;
And, "Are you ready," the snowdrop asked,
"Tis time to start you know."
"Almost my dear," the Scilla replied;
"I'll follow as soon as you go."
Then, "Ha! ha! ha!" c. chorus came
Of laughter soft and low,
From the millions of flowers under the
ground —
Yes, millions beginning to grow.
"I'll promise my blossoms," the crocus said,
"When I hear the bluebirds sing."
A.nd straight thereafte , Narcissus cried,
"My silver and gold I'll bring."
"And are they dulled," another spoke,
"The hyacinth bells shall ring."
And the violet only murmured, "I'm here,"
And sweei giiew the air of spring.
Then "Ha! ha! ha!" a chorus came
Of laughter scft and low
From the millions of flowers under the
ground —
Yes, millions — beginning t® grow.
"Oh, the pretty brave things! thru the cold-
est days,
Imprisoned in walls of brown,
They never lost heart tho the blast shriek-
ed loud,
And the sleet and hail came clown,
But patiently each wrought her beautiful
dress,
Or fashioned her beautiful crown:
And now they are coming to brighten the
world,
Still shadowed by Winter's frown;
And well may thev cheerily laugh, "Ha !
Ha!"
In a chorus soft and low,
The millions ef flowers hid under the
ground —
Yes, millions — beginning to grow."
Spring, the most delightful time
of all the year, with its new life is
coming to us again. It is then when
nature all around us is rejoicing,
when humanity after being confined
indoors can again go back to the
heart of nature. The soft white
mantle that covered mother earth
during the winter has given ample
protection to the sleeping flowers,
but now the silver rains and the gol-
den sun are calling them forth from
their winter's repose. There is
pleasure and joy all around. All
nature is happy in the anticipation
of coming forth into newness of life,
and who is not ready to fall in line
and be in harmony with nature?
At dawn when the first rays of
the sun are peeping over the hill,
the robin with breast so red is al-
ready warbling his merry song, call-
ing the world* from her night's re-
pose. To the Irishman his dear old
Tipperary seemed greater that ever
in the spring, as he sang:
"Oh, sweet is TippeTary in the
spring time of the year,
When the hawthorne's whiter than
the snow.
When the feathered folk assemble,
and the air is all a tremble
With their singing and their swing-
ing to and fro."
Who does not enjoy hearing the
brave little bluebird cheerily sing-
ing his merry song; or the thrush,
his melody of full, rich tones; or the
lark with its throat running over
with the praises it is sending up on
high?
And who does not enjoy taking
a walk out across the fields and
along the hillside under the blue
canopy of heaven? What beauties
there are to behold ! The soft pussy-
willows have answered the call of
the south wind and arrived early.
The daffodils are also seen nodding
their golden heads in the breeze
along the hillside. The fragrant ar-
16
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
butus is blossoming alone in the
wood. The blue hepatica and the
purple violet also lend their artistic
touch to the splendor all around us;
and the dandelion, that dear com-
mon flower, is fringing the hillside
and roadside with gold. Everything
responds to this great new life of
the spring.
On the whole, poets and all stu-
dents of nature have not been suc-
cessful in depicting the wonderful
beauty of spring. Words are in-
adequate to describe the soft blue
sky, the fresh spring odor, the
beauty of the landscape, the flowers,
and the trees, and the constant
change that is taking place as every
day brings something new from the
season's store of mysteries and se-
crets. Ralph Waldo Emerson says:
"The rounded world is fair to see,
Nine times folded in mystery :
Though baffled seers cannot impart
The secret of its laboring heart.
Throb thine with Nature's throbbing
breast;
And all is clear from east to west.
Spirit that lurks each form within
Beckons to spirit of its kin;
Self-kindled every atom glows,
And hints the future which it owes."

The Necessity of Early Guidance in
Habit Formation
During the late war, in every pub-
lic building, on every thoroughfare,
in every newspaper, magazine and
postal impress, we read, "Save
coal," "Save sugar," "Thrift," "Ec-
onomy" and expressions of kindred
import. Why? Because the Ameri-
can people as a whole had not form
ed habits of thrift and economy
before our great nation was in the
midst of a terrible war. Or perhaps
at the time when guidance would
have formed these desirable habits
those under whose care we were,
were unconcerned.
It is an undisputed fact that hab-
it is fundamental to all life. Were
we not the happy possessors of hab-
its we would be at the complete mer-
cy of our environment. Habit is a
dynamic for retardation or progress,
for a degenerate character or an un-
swerving pillar of morality.
Figuratively speaking, we are all
endowed with the machinery for
habit formation. In the scientific
world there is no machine which
does not demand some attention or
guidance, and still it is only an inor-
ganic, inanimate invention of man.
But when it comes to a mechanism
of divine origin and immortal dura-
bility, we are content to let it func-
tion in fashions often unknown to
itself. We would not plant a
crooked apple twig, because we say
it will grow into a crooked tree. We
would not plant a diseased grain of
corn, because we want a crop of
hardy corn. Nevertheless we liter-
ally allow our children early in life
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
17
to form "crooked" habits of think-
ing, living and acting, and say noth-
ing about it, until perhaps later
when the innocent child has become
the victim of his undesirable habits.
Then we would straighten the crook,
erace the blot, or cover the scar, but
nine times out of ten it is then too
late.
Happy is the child whose parents,
teachers and friends appreciate the
need of early guidance in the for-
mation of his habits, — habits which
shall largely determine his rank
among men in his later life. Happy
is the child whose instructors know
that in order to save coal, sugar and
money we must first save through
education. We would save our sug-
ar, our coal, and our money, — all of
which is commendable — but yet we
allow much waste in education out
of which the early formation of hab-
its develops or unfolds.
May the day be not far distant
when we shall not only see on all
public bill boards "Save coal,"
"Save sugar," but also "Guide your
boy's education by helping him to
form the right habits early." When
a slogan like this is adopted and
rigidly practiced, the details of rash,
not fill our morning papers and the
inhuman, and uncivilized crimes will
statistics revealed by our intelli-
gence tests will not cause us to shud-
der; but our America will be a
cleaner, safer, and saner 'Utopia.'

Fishing For Wildcats
A fisherman's hen-roost had been
visited by a wildcat. As these prec-
ious fowls were conducive to a large
part of his sustenance, the havoc
wrought by this carnivorous animal
proved to be quite disastrous both
to the welfare of the hens and to
the man's struggles to maintain an
independent starvation. Did I say
"independent starvation?" ah yes,
'tis all too true. This ingenious and
persistent, but ill-fated hero of the
shoals and eddies sojourned in a
ramshackle hut on the shore of Bay
Rum, an insignificant indentation of
the vast Atlantic. Even the envir-
onment of the fisherman seemed to
harmonize with his state of useless-
ness. His means of livelihood grew
more unprofitable as years went by.
The catches were becoming fewer
and the cunning fish were growing
wiser and were eluding the sweep-
ing net. So you can readily per-
ceive that these hens meant a great
deal to him by virtue of the fact
that they laid many eggs and con-
tributed nutritious flesh, both of
which together reduced his expen-
ses by a considerable degree.
The fisherman could not afford
these losses; so to put an end to the
rampages of the wildcat, he baited
a big hook and fastened it to one
end of a long rope ; the other end he
tied to his wrist when he went to
bed. Morpheus, the god of slum-
bers, entwined him in his encircling
arms, and the fisherman slept in
happy anticipation.
When the somber shades of night
descended, the hungry wildcat
18
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
stealthily crept upon his prey. Be-
fore the animal reached the roost
it saw a large morsel of meat. Not
knowing about the snare, the wild-
cat gulped down bait and hook, like
a gourmand, and waked the fisher-
man, who began to pull in his catch
as he would when out in his boat.
But this animal was not to be hand-
led thus. When the frenzied ani-
mal felt the pull, it ran towards its
captor, sensing his direction by the
pull of the rope. It climbed a vine.
leaped into the room, and confront-
ed its amazed captor.
The fisherman in this predica-
ment did some lively thinking and,
remembering that music is reputed
to charm savage natures, he grasped
an antique mandolin and proceed-
ed to charm the enraged creature
by dashing the instrument over its
head, while it was endeavoring to
extract itself from the meshes of the
entangled rope. The fisherman did
not employ the prescribed method
of producing enchantment by a
musical instrument, but his method
was more effective in this particular
instance. He did not charm the
savage creature, but instead he in-
cased the head of the wildcat in the
mandolin. Dodging the blind leaps
of the wildcat, he managed to throw
the rope over the head of the old-
fashioned bed and in so doing sus-
pended the struggling animal there
to emit its last gasp.
When the wildcat had succumb-
ed, the fisherman skinned it and
secured a high price for the beauti-
ful pelt; thus he was amply paid for
his adventure. R. B.
The Sin of Gambling
The death of King Saul in his
conflict with the Philistines forms
the final chapter in one of the
world's great tragedies. Saul was
the son of a noble family, possessed
attainments and qualities which
peculiarly fitted him for kingship
in Israel, faced a life bright with
hope and full of promise. He was
anointed king over Israel and be-
came their champion and leader in
battle. The day came when he for-
got God, sought strange sources for
advice and inspiration and took re-
fuge in his own strength. His life
of high endeavor became ignoble
in its results and finally the sword,
which was the symbol of his regal
power and of all constructive and
righteous forces in his own life, be-
came the instrument of his own de-
struction.
The story of this sad caicer very
well illustrates the moral fact that
so often our grossest sins are but the
perversion of virtues. Qualities in-
tended to bring us success, power,
achievement and mental and spirit-
ual growth are misdirected, abused
and prostituted, thus becoming the
means of our own defeat and de-
spair. The sin of gambling is this
kind of vice. The love of taking a
chance, inherent in human nature,
has often been the dynamo urging
men and women to stake not only
their money, time or possessions,
but their very lives, for the purpose
of reaching a noble and worthy end.
Thus the world has enjoyed the
work of a Columbus, a Harvey, an
Edison, a Livingstone, etc. Now
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
19
when this same love for taking
chances is used to while away the
time or to play for stakes, it is di-
verted from its real end to ends that
are low, trivial and unworthy.
Therein lies the curse of gambling.
The faculty of man's being intended
to be one of his strongest allies be-
comes the implement of his own de-
struction. The dazzling allurement
of the game table so enslaves him
that he is finally induced to sell his
property and to surrender his self-
respect to attain objects unworthy
of real manhood.
Furthermore, gambling affects
the student in another way. One of
the most valuable possessions the
student has is leisure. At no other
period of life will so much leisure be
intrusted to him. The use of this
time becomes one of his greatest
opportunities and also one of his
greatest responsibilities. To sur-
render this privilege for the un-
worthy ends of the gambler is to
sin against his own future and to
place a mortgage on his potentiality
which will be foreclosed with un-
erring certainty. The library con-
tains the sifted treasures of the ages,
the best thought of all time brought
within easy reach ; the fields and
hills beckon to healthful recreation
or scientific interest ; the playground
or gymnasium offers advantages
for physical diversion, — yet the
gambler spurns these for the in-
dulgence of his misdirected desires,
bringing him the gratifications of
the moment which he prefers to the
satisfactions of the future which
would necessitate self-discipline,
self-denial and the proper use of
his time for useful ends.
Again, the gambler is deceived
into believing that it is possible to
get something for nothing — a be-
lief that is contrary to sound eco-
nomic principles, that has been re-
sponsible for many forms of social
and political exploitation. The
youth who thus deceives him-
self is building on the sand — a
structure erected on such a founda-
tion cannot endure. These funda-
mental objections to the indulgence
in this practice should be sufficient
to convince young men and women
of the folly of devoting either time
or energy in an activity which tends
to destroy individuality and under-
mine character.

lege Chapel. We believe that his
work will tell in future as well as

A sacred cantata entitled "Jeph-
thah" will be rendered at 8 P. M. on
the evening of May 12 in the Mar-
ket House Hall by the College Chor-
us Class. All lovers of music are
cordially invited to attend.
On March 10 Mr. Zimmerman, a
Lebanon banker, gave an excellent
address on "Modern Banking" to
the Y. M. W. A. Valuable suggest-
ions were given as to the methods
and benefits of modern banking.
The Music Department gave a
splendid program on the evening of
March 17. The friends of the school
were very well entertained by both
vocal and instrumental music. Prof.
E. G. Meyer is the head of the vocal
music department and Miss A. Gert-
rude Royer is the teacher in instru-
mental music.
The Homerian Oratorical Con-
test was held recently. The Chapel
was filled with students, friends
and patrons of the College. Mr.
David F. Brightbiil, a student teach-
er, received first prize ; Mr. Samuel
Fahnestock received second prize;
and Mr. Melvin Shisler, third prize.
The judges were Prof. Conway and
Rev. Yoder of Elizabethtown, and
Rev. Schaum of Lancaster, Pa.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Walter Thomas
and family have moved to Mary-
land, their former home. Mr.
Thomas has been the steward at
the College this year. They enter-
tained the Homerian Quartet a few
evenings ago. The boys report hav-
ing had a very pleasant evening.
They have also entertained at diff-
erent times almost all the girls of
College Hill. The girls had a jolly
good time making taffy, fudge, and
marshmallows.

All Day Meeting at Stevens Hill
On Sunday, April 2, an all day
meeing was held at Stevens Hill.
We had been looking forward to
this event with a great deal of pleas-
ure knowing that it would be a day
of Christian fellowship and spiritual
feasting.
As the day dawned it was with
some uncertainty that we noticed
the sun peeping from behind heavy
clouds, but within a few hours we
knew that it would be a bright day.
An invitation having been given
to the students, at about nine o'clock
a truck load of them were on the
way. Lunch had been provided and
nothing seemed to be lacking. As
usual we were welcomed by the Ste-
vens Hill folk and made to feel very
much at home. The morning ser-
vice was opened by Elder W. H.
Miller, pastor of the Stevens Hill
congregation. Professor H. K. Ober
and G. N. Falkenstein delivered two
very good sermons. Dinner was
served at twelve, and at two the
afternoon session began. At this
time the Sunday School children
rendered an Easter program. We
were glad to have as our guests the
Newville Sunday School. We be-
lieve that this part of the day's pro-
gram was enjoyed to the full by all
who were present.
Lunch was served at four o'clock
and as the evening service did not
begin until six thirty we walked to
the river near by and were inspired
by the beauty of nature on every
hand.
The greater part of the evening
was spent in singing. Later, Prof-
A. C. Baugher delivered a sermon
on ''The Message of the Cross,"
which was especially good.
We left the little church house
tired but happy, feeling that God
had been there and had blessed us
richly.

Chapel Echoes
It is in proportion as we do our
work now that we will do it later.
Our work in later years will only
be a crystallization of our daily du-
ties. The successful man has taken
his weaknesses and made of them
rungs in the ladder. The man who
is a failure is the one crushed by his
weaknesses.
It is necessary not only to form
the habit of being neat, accurate,
careful and honest when it is re-
quired but to form the habit of
desiring to be neat, accurate, care-
ful and honest. What can an in-
dividual accomplish, without a pas-
sion for his work! Lack of passion
in one's work is the cause of much
of the mediocre work in the world.
J. G. Meyer.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
As long as we have a friend who
says, "Try again," that long there
are chances that we will succeed.
If at' first you don't succeed, try,
try again. J. G. Meyer.
Let us love in deed and in truth.
God takes the initiative in the
temptations we suffer, for a great
purpose, — to give us larger life and
to help up to accomplish more good.
We cannot always understand the
significance of the*tests in our lives.
In the face of temptation we are
given one of the greatest opportuni-
ties to glorify God.
Armenian sufferers would not
raise a finger to denounce Christ.
They maintained their integrity for
the sake of Christ and the truth.
God tests us to show to the world
how a faithful, godly person can
suffer.
The friendship of Jesus is worth
while, because it helps us to over-
come trials, and to endure sorrows.
Ezra Wenger
The one supreme business is the
business of laying foundations for
those who follow after us.
Christ gave himself for unborn
generations to the end of time.
They never die who live for those
who come after them.
All advance lies along the path
of self-control.
Individuals should exercise them-
selves in ability to see that which
the common eye cannot see ; the
ability to come into the very pre-
sence of God and the ability to open
the eyes to human need.
Inherent selfishness is a natural
impediment to progress.
The things which need a place in
our lives are the arts of translating
vision into impulse and allowng im-
pulse to be translated into compass-
ion. You may crush compassion,
but if you do, you will crush the
God within you. The need of trans-
lating impulse and compassion into
service is imperative.
Dr. McCuaig, New York City.
Resolutions cf Sympathy
Whereas our Heavenly Father in
his mysterious way has seen fit to
call to his ternal home Elder Abram
H. Royer, father of our fellow stu-
dent, Chester H. Royer, be it resol-
ved,—
First, That we, the Faculty and
Students of Elizabethtown College
express our deep regrets because of
the calling away of this loving fath-

of the Brethren.
Second, That we extend to Mrs.
Royer and family our deepest sym-
pathy in this sore bereavement and
commend them to God who alone
can heal the broken-hearted.

The Class of 1909, composed of
twelve ladies and nine gentlemen,
represents seven courses. A. P.
Geib and H. L. Smith completed the
Pedagogical Course in this year.
Both these have since become min-
isters of the gospel. Prof. Geib was
united in marriage with a Brooklyn
lady and they are now living at Ver-
ona, N. J. Prof. Geib is teaching
in Mont Clair, N. J. Philip Jr. is al-
so m training under him. H. L.
Smith won a California bride some
years ago. The Smiths are serving
their second term as missionaries at
Sarhassa, India. There are two chil-
dren in the family.
Prof. L. W. Leiter is another min-
ister of the gospel from the '09 class.
His enthusiasm and efficiency along
educational lines have grown with
the years. He is now professor of
biology in E'town College and also
registrar. There are three sons and
a daughter in the Leiter home.
H. K. Eby, an educational work-
er, and G. A.W. Stauffer, an active
business man, added their share of
zest to the activities of the '09 class.
The former is Principal of the Holli-
daysburg, Pa., High School and the
latter is teller in the Chambersburg
National Bank.
Estella Frantz left- the teaching
profession a number of years ago
and became a homemaker as Mrs.
J. Elmer Martin. Three children
have come into the home. The Mar-
tin family is located near Maple
Grove Park on the outskirts of Lan-
caster.
Agnes Ryan Geib and Ella Young
Kraybill are also homemakers.
These successful teachers continue
their interest along educational and
religious lines in connection with
their home duties. Mr. Raymond
Geib, wife, and son Stanley live in
the country and Mr. Geib teaches
school. The Kraybill family lives
near Mount Joy. There are two
children in this home.
Edith Engle, J. Blaine Ober and
Edna Wittel completed the Steno-
graphic Course in '09. Miss Engle's
home is in our college town and she
has done clerical work in her
home. Mr. Ober is cashier and
bookkeeper for J. E. Schilling Co.,
Miami, Fla. Edna Wittel has been

connected with the oil business for
some years past. She was very suc-
cessful as an oil specialist in New
Orleans, La. Her present address
is 671 No. Wilton Place, Los Ange-
les, California. We hope to see
Miss Wittel on College Hill some-
time this summer after her long ab-
sence. Her home is at Florin and
her mother is looking forward to a
visit from her in June.
The five graduates in the Regular
Commercial Course in '09 have all
continued working along business
lines. Anna M. Heisey is the only
one of these who lives in our town
at present. She is bookeeper for a
firm in Mount Joy. Abel Maderia
and family reside in Harrisburg.
Mr. Maderia is employed in the off-
ice of the State Workmen's Insur-
ance. Miles Roth and family are
located in the city of York where he
is working as accountant. Joshua
Reber and his Colorado bride, a
daughter of Eld. A. G. Crosswhite,
now of Ind., are now at home at
3147 Prospect Ave., Cleveland, O.
Gertrude Miller spent some time
teaching in McPherson College,
Kans. She is now doing office work
for the American Medical Associa-
tion, Chicago, and is living in the
apartment of John Luke Hoff and
wife, 327 So. Central Park Boule-
vard.
There was only one graduate
from the English Bible Course in '09
and only one in the Piano Course.
The Class was blessed with musi-
cians. Viola Withers, now Mrs.
Francis Olweiler, completed the
Piano Course. Francis Jr., two years
of age, is already enjoying some of
the results of this musical career
entered upon at our school. After
leaving the school, she continued
her work at Combs' Conservatory
of Music, Phila.
Elizabeth Kline, now Mrs. An-
drew M. Dixon, Jennie Miller, now
Mrs. H. A. Via, and Emma Cash-
man, now Mrs. Ray Wampler, rep-
resented the Music Teachers' Course
in this class.
Mrs. Wampler and Junior are
now living in the Fairview Apart-
ments on College Hill. Mrs. Wamp-
ler is teacher of drawing and art.
She completed an Art Course at
Bridgewater College in '13. The
ranks of the '09 class have not yet
been broken by death, but all the
members of the class have been sad-
dened by the death of Ray Wamp-
ler, the husband of their beloved
class-mate, during the influenza epi-
demic. They are, however, grati-
fied to note the splendid work Mrs.
Wampler is doing in spite of her
loss.
Elizabeth Kline Dixon is the wife
of Eld. A. M. Dixon, pastor of the
church at Parkerford, Pa. She has
done much work as musical director
in that congregation and has even
filled the pulpit in her husband's ab-
sence. She is also the fond mother
of Nancy and Richard Dixon.
Mrs. H. A. Via was Head of the
Music Department of the College
for some years. She may now be
addressed at Red Hill, Va. She is at
present very busily engaged in giv-
ing private piano and voice lessons
some in the High School Auditorium

and some in their home. A number
of high school pupils improve their
vacant periods by taking these less-
ons. Mrs. Via is also choir leader
and director at the Methodist
Church. Prof. Via is doing civil ser-
vice work as rural mail carrier in
his beloved native state. We trust
all our Alumni will especially re-
member Mrs. Via as the writer and
composer of our College song, so
dear on College Hill.
Prof. Ezra Wenger, '18, delivered
a spicy address on "The Function
of Opposition" on the occasion of
the anniversary of the organization
of the Literary Societies, April 8.
Carrie Dennis, '13, of our college
town, continues to give private piano
lessons in connection with her home
duties.
The Alumni family shares the sor-
row of Sara Royer, '20, and Chester
Royer, '21, in their loss of a loving
father, Eld. Abram Royer, Ephrata,
Pa. ; also a similar loss on the part
of Maria Myers, '19. John E. My-
ers passed away very suddenly on
April 3.
Paul Robert Hollinger is the wel-
come newcomer in the home of A.
C. Hollinger, '10, having arrived
March 23.
Mr. Hollinger is an energetic busi-
ness man. We quote the following
from a recent letter of his to the edi-
tor of the 'TIMES" : "Tell the Col-
lege family that I am in the "Wear-

are considering matrimony, I would
be pleased to equip their kitchens."

ILf If HI ; p
The Juniors having been twice de-
feated by their upper classmen
made a desperate attempt to con-
quer the Seniors in the final game
of the season. The gymnasium was
crowded with anxious spectators
awaiting the outcome. From the
first sound of the whistle the game
was a mad rush, full of snap and
dash. The Juniors were in the pink
of condition and their flashy passing
and skilful floor work was telling.
The Seniors, on the contrary, some-
how couldn't get together. This
was evident because at half time the
Juniors were leading to the tune of
11-7. The Seniors were determined
to win and at the beginning of the
second half they made a desperate
effort to overtake the Juniors, but to
no avail. The score was 25-20 in
favor of the Juniors and five more
minutes were between the Juniors
and victory.
Then came the tragedy; the Seni-
ors uncorked such a burst of blind-
ing speed that the Juniors were not
able to stand on account of the ter-
rible onslaught. By this time the
spectators were frantic with ex-
citement; the cheering was deafen-
ing; the seniors were gaining, — one
minute to play and the score was 26
— 25 in favor of the Juniors. Then
came the deciding moment when
the Seniors bagged another two-
pointer and the Seniors won the
game 27 — 26.
Gingrich and Bucher divided the
shooting honors for the Juniors
while Myers, £he flashy center,
starred for the Seniors. This game
rang down the curtain of the most
successful basketball season ever
witnessed at Elizabethtown College.
Following is the lineup and score :

Bucher, F 5 0 10

The Junior and Senior girls en-
tered the floor for their third contest
of the season on March 22, the Seni-
ors having captured the first two
games. The Junior girls were out
for revenge. The game was close
and exciting and the score indicated
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
27
the excellent work done by the
guards of both teams. The final
score was 10-6 in favor of the Seni-
or girls.
On the eve of March 15, one of
the most exciting games was played
between the boarding and the day
student girls. There were experi-
enced players on both sides. For a
while it seemed as if the game
would be a tie, when suddenly the
day students forged ahead several
points. The boarding students, how-
ever, were not to be outdone and
began to display their real ability
in playing. Finally they overcame
the fast-going day students and
won; the final score was 14-13.
Ream, the forward for the day stu-
dents, tallied five field goals; while
E. Trimmer led the boarding stu-
dents with three field and six foul
goals.
As spring is approaching, the ac-
tivities on College Hill no longer re-
main indoors. The Athletic Asso-
ciation met to organize the outdoor
activities. The following persons
were elected for the different activi-
ties:
Tennis — John Sherman, manager.
Henry Bucher and Jesse Bechtel
assistants.
Baseball — Walter Longenecker,
manager.
Hiram Gingrich and Israel Royer,
assistants.
Track — Paul Grubb, manager.
P. B. Brandt and Fred Trimmer,
assistants.
Girls Activities — Margaret Oellig,
— manager.
Hannah Sherman and Nora Ger-
berich, assistants.
The interest shown in baseball
thus far is very promising, as the
students are continually practicing.
Mr. Sherman is busy getting the
tennis courts in readiness for any
kind of "love" games to be played.
Mr. Grubb is very alert in his work
and, with the aid of his able assis-
tants, success is well nigh assured
in his particular field. May every
student of Elizabethtown ;College;
realize the value of physical train-
ing and strive to develop a physique
that will stand the stress and strain
of everyday life.

JUST A MINUTE
"I have just a little minute,
Only sixty seconds in it,
Forced upon me, can't refuse it.
Didn't seek it,' didn't choose
But it's up to me to use it.
I must suffer if I abuse it;
Just a tiny little minute,
But eternity is in it.
"Therefore I will start anew this
morning with a higher, fairer creed;
I will cease to stand complaining
of my ruthless neighbor's greed ;
I will cease to sit repining while
my duty's call Is clear;
I will waste no moment whining
and my heart shall know no fear.
"I will look sometimes about me
for the things that merit praise ;
I will search for hidden beauties
that elude the grumbler's gaze.
I will try to find contentment
in the paths that I must tread;
I will cease to have resentment
when another moves ahead.
"I will not be swayed by envy
when my rival's strength is shown,
I will not deny his merit, but I'll
try to prove my own ;
I will try to see the beauty
spread before me rain or shine,
I will cease to preach your duty
and be more concerned with mine."

The Spirit of E. C.
They tell us that the primary aim
of a college publication should be
to reflect the spirit of the school.
But a thing must exist and shine be-
fore it can be reflected. What is it,
then, that constitutes the spirit
which exists and hovers about our
school, which we aim to reflect in
Our College Times?
Doubtless it, whatever it is, is
more easily felt than described.
Who has not at some time felt the
pulse of school life almost the min-
ute he had set foot on the campus or
entered the halls of some college or
other? We say it is in the air; but
what is in the air? Whoever has
felt that pulse-beat has at another
time felt as keen a depression on en-
tering the same halls when all was
quiet and everybody was gone. The
spirit of the school, therefore, was
not the sum total of buildings, cam-
pus and equipment, for these were
still there. These are just what it is
not. It is the sum total of several
hundred or more individual spirits
or persons, — all united by a common
interest in their Alma Mater, — who
make alive stone walls and dead
equipment, that constitutes the
school spirit of which we speak.
To this school spirit each student
and teacher makes his contribution
either positively or negatively. What
I say either adds or detracts; some-
times what I do not say adds more
than what I say or feel like saying.
What I say in praise, however, does
not add, it multiplies. What I do
either raises or lowers the school
temperature. What I do honestly
and sincerely in hall and classroom,
on court and campus, raises it by so
many degrees. What I do ignobly
acts the reverse. What I am, how-
ever, counts most of all and goes
farthest in creating that school
spirit of which I ought to be justly
proud, — if I am out and out for the
school which is out and out for me,
whose loss is my loss and whose
gain is my gain.
But what of the spirit on College
Hill? There may be less demon-
stration of it in yell, floating of ban-
ners, class distinction, and fraternal
orders than is felt in some places;
but who will say there is not a great
deal shown in real loyalty and
whole-hearted support? Our beau-
tiful College Song revives our spirit
now and then. Gifts and donations
reveal something of the same spirit.
Surely we all felt something of this
on the morning we sent away a few
of "our sons so noble" to uphold, in
intercollegiate debate, E. C.'s ideals
on Maryland soil. We felt it no
less here on the same evening. Com-
pared with our feelings, what must
the teams themselves have felt!
Our literary productions, which
appear herein, are intended espe-
cially to reflect the inner life and
work of the school, — as do also the
notes and news which follow, — for
those who have an interest and con-
cern in the spirit of E'town College.

The Human Omelette
"A man weighing 150 lbs. con-
tains approximately 3500 cubic feet
of gases (O-H-N) in his constitution
which at 80c per thousand would be
worth $2.80 for illuminating pur-
poses. He also contains all the ne-
cessary fats to make 240 1-oz. can-
dles ; thus, together with his 3500
cubic feet of gases, he possesses con-
siderable illuminating possibilities.
His system contains 22 lbs., 10 oz. of
carbon, enough to make 780 dozen
or 9360 lead pencils. There are
about 50 grains of iron in his blood
and the rest of his body would sup-
ply enough of this metal to make
one spike large enough to hold the
weight of his body.
A healthy man contains 54 oz. of
phosphorus. This deadly poison
would be enough to make 800,000
matches or enough to kill 543 per-
sons. This with two ounces of lime
constitutes the bones and brain. He
contains 60 lumps of sugar of the
ordinary cubical dimensions, and
20 spoonfuls of salt. If man were
distilled into water, he would make
about 38 guarts, or more than half
his entire weight. He also contains
a great deal of starch, chloride of
potash, magnesium, sulphur, and
hydrochloric acid in his wonderful
system.
Break 1,000 eggs, including
shells, in a large pan and you have
the ingredients to make a man from
his toe nails to the most delicate
tissue of his brain."
Happiness.
You would not expect to become
a great violin player without prac-
ticing on the violin, or a great pia-
nist without practicing on a piano.
Neither can you achieve happiness
except by trying to be happy.
A distinguished • mamematician,
who is also a physical scientist, says,
"the formula for happiness may be
expressed as follows, h-gjw? In this
h stands for the amount of individ-
ual happiness and is equal to what
the individual has got, g, divided by
w, what he wants. If a man has a
great deal but wants ever so much
more, his fraction of happiness may
approach an integer. If he has got
anything in the world and does not
want anything more, according to
the terms of the formula, he is in-
finitely happy, for one divided by
zero equals infinity. What is
important for men for their hap-
piness, then, is not so much to try
to increase the numerator by add-
ing to, or even multiplying, their
possessions, but to decrease the de-
nominator by lessening their wants
and by decreasing the number of
things without which they cannot be
happy."
Happiness is supposed to be a by-
product of money, health, love, suc-
cess and religion. But the fact is
that happiness is not something
handed down to you from
heaven, neither can you get
it by taking a pill or a drink,
nor capture it by effort of the will.
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
13
You must practice happiness if you
want it, and you must do this by
controlling your feelings, by con-
trolling your thought.
If, when we are not happy, we
would take some time and think of
only pleasant events that have hap-
pened or look forward to those we
expect, we would be able to face
the world with happiness, and we
should develop in ourselves this
power of thought control.
We must daily appreciate more
the material pleasures; in, eating,
we need not be gluttons. We
should realize that the Creator in-
tended the taking of food and drink
to be a pleasure. We should also
value our sleep. We must exercise,
for we can all get great happiness
here, especially through sports.
"We must also increase the re-
sources of happiness in our mind.
Our mind is not given us simply for
storing up facts and improving its
reasoning power, but to store away
joy-thoughts that will come to our
aid at a moment's need, when
gloom, anxiety, worry and remorse
are upon us.
There are times when we ought
to be sad. If it is time to weep,
weep. But the difficulty is, we see
troubles that will never happen.
Don't worry. If you have some un-
pleasant thought find some happy
thing that can absorb you and
crowd out the unhappy one.
Happiness is essential. It is a
guarantee of good health, an asset
in business and a blessing to society.
H. G.
Our First Debate
The great debate is ended,
The battle's lost and won;
The sleepless nights the days of toil
Have yielded heaps of fun.
Ofttimes when work was tiresome
We fretted, wished in vain
To run away and hear no more
The open shop refrain.
Professors asked to hear us,
Did yawn and sometimes doze.
The impulse of the freshman was
Oh, let's turn on the hose.
Our captain stern and thoughtful
Kept at us every day,
So that we'd plan our speeches well
And know just what to say.
We now have ceased to worry
About the meals we missed,
For it has lessened very much
The College deficit.
The teachers though do worry
About the work we missed ;
They have our back work all mark-
ed down
On their debaters' list.
Yet who of us are sorry
Though long the fight did seem ;
In days to come well ne'er forget
E'town's Debating Team.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
My Visit To The Attic
One evening when I was about
nine years old I visited an old attic
to explore its contents. When I had
ascended two flights of stairs I came
to the attic where everything was
topsy-turvy. Here I thought was a
real place for goblins. The atmos-
phere was dry and stuffy. There was
only one window and that one had
not been opened for many days.
As I glanced about me I saw ropes
stretched crosswise along the raft-
ers, on which were hanging some old
clothes. On another side were
stored broken chairs and tables. In
the opposite corner were many box-
es filled with books, papers, tools
and other junk.
I was especially interested in the
latter corner. I walked around the
boxes, when finally I discovered an
old trunk. I opened it. Here I
found many old relics. I tried to
interest myself in viewing these var-
ious old relics, hoping to overcome
the strange feeling of fear that crept
over me because of a queer noise
which I could hear in the farther
corner. But on the contrary my
brightened state was increased.
As I moved a piece of old home-
spun cloth in the trunk, I aroused
two mice. They made a desperate
effort to escape from the radiating
light of the lamp which I helti. In
so doing they hopped clear of the
trunk and landed on me. I being
terrified by them left the trunk lid
fall down, which made a thundering
noise, and at the same time caused
the lamp to be extinguished.
I was in the dark and was sure I
had awakened a hundred grotesque
goblins of every variety. There I
stood stock-still. Around me were
gathering all kinds of hideous crea-
tures. I made an effort to find the
stairway, but only to bump my head
against the rafters. Now I thought
I was closed in. Suddenly I fell in-
to an awful abyss receiving a terr-
ible shock. I landed half a dozen
steps from the foot of the stairway.
I went down the remaining steps
in a panic. I would never venture
to visit the attic alone in the dark,
and I even feared going into any
dark rooms for a long time after-
ward. E. W.
A Ceremonial Fire
The moon was shining full on a pile
of pine boughs neatly arranged in
the heart of a majestic pine forest.
Suddenly from the shadows appear-
ed an Indian maiden. Around her
forehead sparkled a bright band of
highly colored beads, that held in
place two long braids of hair which
hung loosely over her shoulders. Her
gown was of heavy brown cloth,
trimmed in leather and skins and
set off by many colored beads. Her
moccasined feet trod softly upon the
dampened earth. She knelt before
the pile of wood and lit it. She rose
and solemnly spoke three Indian
words. Girls dressed similar to her
appeared until the fire was sur-
rounded. To each bronzed maiden
was handed a string of honor beadi.
The girls in turn sang a song which
spoke of truth, love, health, honor,
. work, and strength. This strange
gathering was the meeting of a
group of modern Minnekahas. E. G.

COLLEGE HILL
(Autumn)
As we look out over the campus,
College Hill in autumn is, indeed, a
beautiful spot. At the first appear-
ance of Jack Frost, the trees begin
to wear a robe of all the different
hues of crimson and yellow ; a few
trees will wear their green leaves a
little longer than some others but
soon they all shed their summer gar-
ments. The cool north wind rustles
the fallen leaves and piles some of
them along the hedge, while it
carries others*far into the fields. The
last roses have been plucked and
the sting of Jack Frost is putting
the flowers to sleep for the winter.
The grass is turning brown and looks
as though it were dying, but it, too,
will lie dormant during the long
winter months.
During the day the sun shines
from the bright blue sky and sends
its warmth to the earth, but the air
is cool and chilly reminding us of
the fact that winter is drawing near.
From the baseball diamond we
hear laughter and cheering, for ex-
citing games are being played. As
we take a glance at the tennis court
we see games of great interest in
progress.
Turning to the western sky in the
evening, we see the beautiful sunset.
The sky is arrayed in all the gor-
geous colors and we are made to
appreciate nature more than we
ever did before. College Hill in

COLLEGE HILL
(Spring)
As I was standing in the middle
of the road looking to my right I saw
a level baseball diamond, where the
boys and girls spend many happy
hours playing baseball and other
games.
To my left I saw a large brick
building known as Fairview Apart-
ment. This building was made more
beautiful by the dark green grass
and small green trees on each side
of the concrete walk. Both grass
and trees were breathing in the
fresh air and the warm sunshine.
Walking up the road a little far-
ther, I saw to my right a large num-
ber of maple trees waving their del-
icate green leaves in the bright sun-
light and giving shade to those who
sit on the benches beneath them.
Farther on I could see a small apple
orchard shooting forth in full bloom
and filling the air with fragrance.
At the south end of this orchard I
saw a double frame dwelling house,
where lived two of the professors.
Then looking again to the left I
saw a large pole painted white and
upon it floating in the balmy air,
"Old Glory."
I also saw another large brick
building upon which was a bell tow-
er. This building was Memorial
Hall. Immediately before me was
still another large building, also
built of brick, known as Alpha Hall.
In front of it was a beautiful green
-terrace and four large flower beds
with bright red geraniums, sweet
smelling roses of a cream color, and

many colored pansies, also various
other flowers which added very
much to the beauty of the place. The
walks leading from one building to
the other were concrete, making the
place very attractive.
Every one passing through Lan-
caster County should come to see
this beautiful spot. P. S.
Gardening.
Digging, raking, planting, sowing,
Cultivating, weeding, hoeing —
What a job to get things growing.
But no other job agoing
Does so set the heart a-glowing
June grass-scented breezes blowing,
Woods with birds' songs overflow-
ing,
Then the eating and the oh-ing.
If you want to do some crowing
Get a little garden growing.
— Lincoln Millet.
Slight Difference.
A clergyman who was a widower
had three grown daughters. Hav-
ing occasion to go away a few weeks
he wrote home from time to time.
In one of his letters he informed
them that he had married a widow
with six children. This created a
stir in the household.
When the minister returned home
one of his daughters, her eyes red
with weeping, said, "Where's the
widow you married, father,"
"O ! I didn't bring her along, you
see I married her to some other
man."

An Original Story.
In a picturesque village in sunny
Italy, there lived a little boy with,
his parents in a cozy white cot-
tage with brown-thatched roof. All
the mystery of the South was in his
musical name, Giovanni, and all the
beauty of the homeland was in his.
deep blue eyes. Here in this sunny
land where eyes smiled and hearts
were kind, Giovanni spent his child-
hood.
Giovanni's parents loved him
with a love that was beautiful to
see. Year in and year out, they
worked in the fields tTt accumulate
money to send their boy to school
when he would be old enough. Gio-
vanni spent much of his time roam-
ing out of doors, communing uncon-
sciously with the Divine through ob-
serving Nature. He was a very im-
aginative child and, being of Italian
parentage, had also a remarkable
artistic temperament. He fancied
he heard in the whispering of the
trees prophetic voices telling of his
future. Again, he fancied he saw
mirrored in the sparkling waters of
the little brook his own image as he
should appear when he would have
become an important character.
Even the wild flowers seemed to
beckon him to his future career.
ills mother and father were in sym-
pathy with his dreams, and encour-
aged him to believe confidently in
that which was yet in store for him.
Now Giovanni wanted a violin
above everything else in the world,
and his parents knew that their
hopes and desires for their son could
c-nly be realized through the medi-

urn of the violin. How the> sacri-
ficed and toiled, and how patiently
Giovanni waited, until there came
a day when his father went to the
city, and with the money that spelt
love, hard work and sacrifice
bought a violin for Giovanni. Much
as he wanted to buy the best instru
ment in the world for his son, he
knew it was an utter impossibility,
for a Stradivarius was almost price-
less. Tenderly he carried the violin
back home where, at the door, he
knew his wife and child would be
waiting for him. Giovanni's rap-
ture knew no bounds when he saw
what his father had bought him.
His face took on a radiance that
told how keenly and how deeply he
had longed for a violin. Giovanni
had now found himself.
The days that followed were a
typical reproduction of what all mu-
sicians have to face — hours and
hours of hard work and practice.
But through it all Giovanni found
a satisfaction and peace that paa-
seth all understanding.
Months passed, and still there
was not sufficient money to send
Giovanni to the great master of
whom they had heard so much.
Yet their faith was undaunted and
their courage and trust unfaltering.
One day while Giovanni was
playing, his whole soul wrapped up
in the music, a feeble old man came
tottering down the road. Hearing
the sweet strains of music, he stop-
ped at the cottage. Irresistibly he
was drawn toward the door, where
he saw a little boy, with a dreamy
far away expression in his eyes,
playing a violin. There stood the
old man watching intently the child
who played so marvelously. But
Giovanni noticed no one until he
heard a heavy thud and, looking up,
saw the old man lying in the door-
way. He ran to him, offered a cup
of cool, refreshing water and then
called his parents. When they
came they tenderly carried the old
man to a bed, and made him com-
fortable there. Anxiously they
watched at his bedside for some
sign of returning consciousness. At
last they saw a flicker of an eyelash
and the old man opened his eyes.
For some time he only gazed aim-
lessly about, then suddenly a flash
of recognition flitted over his face.
"Play," he said in a tone half a
sob, half a gasp. Giovanni took his
violin, drew the bow across the
strings, and oh, the music that filled
the room! Soft and low and sad, it
was like the moaning of trees in
winter. Then again, is was spright-
ly and gay, then it sounded like the
rippling of brooks and murmuring
of mountain streams, and then Kfce
the swaying of flowers in the sum-
mer breeze. As Giovanni ceased
playing, the old man whispered,
"More." Then he drew frera the
violin music like a choir of angels
singing whose voices blended har-
moniously into a perfect symphony.
Truly the old man, the father, the
mother and Giovanni himself v-re
carried away to the spirit world.
As suddenly as Giovanni had begun,
he stopped playing. The old man
had recovered slightly from tin stu-
por into which he had fallen, for he
18
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
motioned to the boy to bring a t.t?
package to him. He had dropped
it when he fell so suddenly in the
doorway. Carefully he undid ihe
rope which tied the package, and
held to view an old worn violin case.
Giovanni looked spellbound. The
old man opened the case and with
loving fingers very tenderly took out
a violin. Giovanni's eye immedi-
ately saw that the violin before bin
was an article of almost priceless
worth, for it bore the Stradivariu*
trade mark. Not a scratch or mark
marred its surface. With shaking
hands the old man lifted the violin
to his chin, and produced such
strains the like of which are seldom-
heard. They came from a soul
bared of every earthly thing, a soul
that was preparing to meet its Mak-
er. On and on he played, even as
the death throes of agony came up-
on him. At last his strength failed,
his arm relaxed, and in a whisper
scarcely audible he uttered these
words : "It is finished." As
the last strain of the violin died
away, he was ushered into the pres-
ence of his Maker, on the wings of
the perfect melody he had pro-
duced.
For several moments, tense with
suppressed feelings, Giovanni and
his father and mother stared at the
old man. Then Giovanni's glance
rested on the violin clutched in the
man's lifeless hands. Reverently
and tenderly he took the violin and,
with his soul in his eyes, played up-
on the Stradivari as, — an almost
priceless instrument, and one which
only the great masters and musi-
cians ever dreamed of possessing.
Try as he would Giovanni could not
reproduce exactly th« strains of mu-
sic that the old man had p. eyed.
One certain cnoru had thrilled and
thrilled him yet he co;-ld no«: find
it. His mind se irched and groped
for it, but it was -.»li in vain.
For several »ia;-s the family
mourned the death of his old man.
and it was a quick, solemn proces-
sion that followed his body to his
resting place. There beside the
murmuring brooklet hiui the nodd-
ing poppies and whisoering trees

When they return* d to the house,,
they noticed a letter worn and ye!
low, which had slipped to the fioor
•when the old man had untied the
package. On the outside the words,
"Open this letter and read," were
written. Quietly they obeyed and
this is what they read :
"I'm nearing the end of my jour-
ney, my strength is failing fast. To
those who in my last hour befriend
me, to them I give my most valuable
possession, my violin. Love it as I
have loved it. Cherish it as I have-
always cherished it; and think of
me as you play upon its strings. Use
the bank notes enclosed in this let-
ter and if the person who receives it
has a passion for music take it", I
pray, and place yourself under the
instruction of the great master in
Naples. Remember that true music
is the sincere expression of the
soul."
When they read the name of the
man who had written the letter, an
exclamation of surprise, mingled

with doubt and unbelief, escaped
their lips. Then he was one of the
great masters of the day. Little
children had lisped his name and
fathers and mothers never tired of
recounting his glorious career. True
it was that of late they had not
heard of him, but it was because
he had gone to America that won-
derful land of which they had heard
so much.
After reading and re-reading the
letter several times, Giovanni's par-
ents knew for a certainty that the
future of their son was assured.
So Giovanni went to school, and
for many years was under the in-
struction of the famous master at
Naples. Finally he came before the
greatest audiences of Europe. Time
after time he met with such triumph
and success as he had never dared
to dream of. Wishing to realize
further his fondest wish, he went to
America. But this did not satisfy
him, for he longed for his native
land and loving parents.
He sailed for sunny Italy, came
to his childhood home, and found
it even more picturesque and cozy
than he had remembered it to be.
But then it was his home, and upon
it his parents' loving hands were
written. When they embraced him,
they told him he had surpassed ev-
en their fondest dreams. Going out
to the garden, he visited the grave
of the man who had helped to make
him what he was. Silently, with
bowed head, he stood in rever-
ent retrospection. Returning to the
house he got his violin, and there
by the grave of that great master,
there by the murmuring stream,
where the trees sighed and whis-
pered in the breeze, he played as he
never played before. What mat-
tered the praise and honor of the
world, what mattered their tribute
and applause? Nothing mattered
but to be back again in his child-
hood home and native land where
eyes smiled and hearts were kind.
So he played on and on thinking of
the man who lay at his feet, and of
the lost chord he could never find.
Turning his eyes to the west, he saw
the glowing sun setting in all its
glory, its delicate tints fading as he
watched. Then in the brook that
flowed by he saw again the beauty
and grandeur of the sunset as it was
mirrored in its sparkling waters.
Inspired and fascinated, he watched
the panorama before him, the fields
of waving grain, the brilliant pop-
pies, whose faint fragrance was
wafted by the air, and far away the
hazy outlines of the stately Apen-
nines. On and on he played, in-
spired by Nature's glowing picture.
Suddenly he cried out exultantly,
"I have found it." He had found
the lost chord, there where so many
years ago the old master had played
it,— the chord which had seemed
to come from the distant spirit
realm.
Giovanni looked heavenward and
thought he saw the benign face of
the old master smiling upon him. his
hand beckoning him to come even
as he had gone on the wings of the
perfect melody he had produced.

The spring Normal opened on
April the 24th with an enrollment
of forty-four students.

Prof. Hoffer — "A man hater."
Mr. Barr — "Would you put much
emphasis on dates when teaching

Prof. Meyer — "No, I don't think
a teacher of today should require

Arbor Day.
The Senior Class gave a good pro-
gram on the evening of April 20,
in observance of Arbor Day. Miss
Mabel Minnich recited, and Mr.
Barr delivered an oration. Both
vocal and instrumental music were
interesting features of the program.
Mr. W. E. Montgomery, of the
State Forestry Department. Harris-
burg, Pa., gave an illustrated lec-
ture, revealing to us the beauty and
usefulness of the forests of the
United States. The lecture was en-
joyed by all and was very instruc-
tive.
The next morning, following the
regular chapel exercises, two beau-
tiful evergreen trees were planted
near the Fairview Apartment build-
ing by the class of 1922. Each Sen-
ior contributed a small box of soil
from home. Just as the soil was
sprinkled over the roots to f.urnish
nourishment for their growth and
development, and then was covered
with sod, so the members of the
class of 1922 desire to bury their
lives in service.
Junior Oratorical Contest.
On Friday evening, April 21, we
enjoyed one of the most interesting
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
21
programs given on College Hill.
This feature, which was one of spec-
ial importance, was the Junior Ora-
torical Contest. The orators for this
contest were members representing
both Junior Societies, namely the
Penn and Franklin. The interest
manifested during the whole con-
test was very keen because of the
healthy rivalry for the prizes.
The orators of the evaning were
Roy Forney whose subject was
"The Price of Peace." Clarence
Holsopple who spoke on the subject,
"The Channels of Ambition;" Lydia
Landis who orated on the subject,
"The Challenge of the World," and
Lester Rover whose subject was
"The Greatest Battlefield." These
orations were very well given and
the thought was of such a nature as
to help all of us in life's career.
There were three prizes awarded
for the best three orations. Of these
Roy Forney captured first prize,
Lydia Landis second, and Lester
Royer third. All those who recieved
prizes are members of the Penn
Society. This reminds us of another
event drawing nigh, — the Inter,
society Debate. Last year the de-
bate was won by the Franklin but
this year the Penns with renewed
courage say: "We will have nothing
short of victory."
The Intercollegiate Debate
On Friday morning, April 28, the
negative debating team was sent to
Blue Ridge College amid the cheers
of the student body.
At five o'clock in the evening the
negative debating team from Blue
Ridge College came to College Hill.
A committee appointed to see to the
welfare of our visitors took care of
them until time for lunch in the din-
ing room.
The debate was delayed some-
what on account of the late arrival
of one of the judges. The Chairman
called the meeting to order at eight-
thirty. Both teams were full of
their subject, and from the beginn-
ing the audience was held in silence.
The question for debate was: "Re-
solved— that the Industries of the
United States Should Adopt the
Open Shop. The debaters decided
that the "Open Shop" should mean
a shop that admits both union and
non-union men. Both sides present-
ed good arguments and every one
was wondering just what the deci-
sion would be.
After the debate was over the
ushers took the judges votes to the
chairman, who opened the sealed
envelopes and immediately announc-
ed the decision of the judges. The
decision was two votes for Blue
Ridge College and one vote for Eli-
zabethtown. After the excitement
had passed those deeply interested
in the work of the other team rushed
to the office to hear the returns
from Blue Ridge. At ten-thirty the
message came that the decision of
the judges there had been two votes
in favor of Elizabethtown and one
vote in favor of Blue Ridge. Tally-
ing reports showed an exact tie, the
negative or visiting teams from each
place winning 2 — 1.

Steven's Hill Sunday School
These beautiful spring days have
awakened all life. It has set not
only the imprisoned bud and leaf
free, but also worshippers of God
who were confined to their homes
because King Winter had congested
the highways with sn®w and ice.
Our Sunday School at Steven's
Hill was very well attended all
through the winter months, but
since spring is here there has been
an increase in attendance by those
who were not able to attend during
the winter months. A few families
who moved into the neighborhood
this spring are attending Sunday
School, thus increasing the enroll-
ment considerably.
Elder W. H. Miller of Elizabeth-
town, pastor of Steven's Hill congre-
gation, recently conducted a two
weeks' evangelistic meeting. The
meeting began April 16. Many of
our students went out in the even-
ing to assist in the meetings by lead-
ing the singing and by doing person,
al work in the homes.
The meetings closed April 30
without any visible results in the
way of converts, but we believe
there has been much good done in
the community through an awaken-
ed interest and a desire "to go up
to the house of the Lord" to worship.
There is Sunday School every
Sunday afternoon at two o'clock.
All visitors are welcome.
Tithing
The programs of the Christian
Workers Society, Volunteer Meet-
ings, Prayer Meetings and other or-
ganizations, during the week of
April 22 — 29, was devoted to the
subject of tithing. The purpose of
this movement was to get every
Christian of the Hill to thinking a-
long the line of systematic giving.
Some otf the gem thoughts dropped
by the way are given here.
"Bring ye the whole tithe into the
store-house, that there may be food
in my house, and prove me now
herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if
I will not open you the windows of
heaven, and pour you out a blessing,
that there shall not be room enough
to receive it." Mai. 3:10.
Tithing is setting aside one tenth
of my income regularly and syste-
matically, and using it for the work
of the Lord.
The silver and the gold belong to
God — so everybody says. But say-
ing it means nothing ; acting as
though it were true means some-
thing.
Tithing pays in spiritual blessings,
pays in temporal prosperity, pays
in peace of mind, in having a ques-
tion of duty settled. It transfers
from you to your Heavenly Father
the responsibility of deciding how
much it shall be ; it permits Him to
decide whether it shall be little or
much, as He prospers you.
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
23
The tithe of one's income to the
Lord is not charity ; it is one's first
and most pressing debt — a debt of
honor; a sacred and supreme obli-
gation ; an obligation resting on each
and every Christian believer.
Tithing is the first step toward
the goal of stewardship. It is better
to take the step first and one at a
time. This is God's method.
Traveling Secretary's Visit
We felt very fortunate to have
with us Miss Halliday, the Travel-
ing Secretary of the Foreign Volun-
teer Movement. Miss Halliday has
been visiting the different colleges
and spent May 3 and 4 with us.
While here she gave a very inspir-
ing message to the Volunteer Band.
Following is a reaction of her mess-
age.
We cannot get along without
daily prayer and meditation. The
best time for this is in the morning.
We should start the very beginning
of the day with God and ask him to
keep us through that day.
Our vision sometimes grows dim
by the mist in the valleys. We get
our visions while on the mount-
ain tops but we can't always stay
up there. We must keep our sight
so clear that we can see through the
mist.
Our job lies right here before us,
not far off in the future. Do the
things which are before you now,
and some day you can do that great-
er work.
We must empty ourselves of self
and let Him fill our earthen vessels.
It is not our own personality that is
to be impressed upon others, but
Christ's through us.
Miss Halliday also spoke to the Y.
W.A.W. In this talk she showed us
•the life of the India girl as she has
seen it, and contrasted it with the
life of the Amercan girl. She said,
"Can we American girls still keep on
enjoying our lives and in the mean-
time see our India sisters living a
life of sorrow and suffering? What
can we do to help them? Am I
willing to do what I can?"

Life is just a game to play,
Play it!

Grit your teeth and see it thru !
Life is just a prize to get;
Get it !
If the stage is not well set,
Set it !

upon the occasion of the Intercol-
legiate Debate, Apr. 28. She ex-
pects to direct a Daily Vacation Bi-
ble School in her home community
during this summer.
We quote the following from a
recent letter received by the College
from Rev. C. W. Shoop, '05. now a
missionary in Canton. S. China :
"The entrance of E. C. into the
ranks of standard colleges consti-
tutes a second call for felicitation
from every alumnus and friend of
the College. What a splendid rec-
ord our Alma Mater is achieving.
One of the very encouraging feat-
ures in the development of E. C, it
seems to me, is revealed in the
splendid faculty roster as published
in your bulletin of 1921-1922. I
like the way in which the members
of your faculty aspire. I note that
most of them are taking their work
seriously and are availing them-
selves of privileges of post-gradu-
ate study and so providing for their
professional and personal growth.
And that is what guarantees the
growth of E. C, for as the faculty
grow in intellectual, moral and spir-
itual stature the College will inevit-
ably be raised correspondingly on
their constantly rising shoulders.
And may our motto — as president,
faculty, alumni and friends of E. C.
—ever be 'EXCELSIOR' and never
'EUREKA.'
"Things are moving along as us-
ual here in South China, except that
we have not had, during the past
year, either a revolution or a flood,
one or the other of which seems to
have been an annual occurrence un-
til this last year. The Lord has
been good to South China in giving
moderate rains and a good govern-
ment, so that we have enjoyed both
peace and plenty. Kindly give my
best regards to all the E. C. friends."
On May 4, Stanley H. Ober, '21,
son of Prof. H. K. Ober, and Chester
H. Royer, '21, were elected to the
Christian ministry by the Elizabeth-
town Church of the Brethren. They
are at present pursuing work at the
College.

"Strike one — strike two — strike
three — you're out," comes the voice
of the umpire, as baseball is being
resumed at the invitation of nature.
What is more recreative than to en-
gage in a snappy game of baseball
or even to watch an exciting strug-
gle when the bases are loaded, two
strikes are called and a heavy hitter
is eagerly waiting for a good swing
at the ball. There is great interest
here just now in this national sport
of America.
At 4 P. M. Wednesday April 26,
the Commercials and Literaries, be-
tween whom there is an old feud in
baseball, were told to "Play Ball."
The battery for the Commercials
was — Eshleman C, Edris P.; for the
Literaries — Ober C, D. Myers and
Moore P. The boys on both teams
showed some real fast work but the
"Good Old Commercials" finally
triumphed by the score of 7 to 3.
There was a good turnout to see the
game. All are earnestly invited to
witness these contests.
The great game of the season
was staged between the Juniors and
the Seniors on May the 2nd. Be-
fore the Juniors realized what had
happened the Seniors had driven
six runs across the pan, in the first
inning before the last runner was
called out. The Juniors woke up
by and by and began to play fine
ball, but the Seniors were not to be
outdone. The final score was 9 to
6 in favor of the latter. The bat-
tery for the Seniors was — S. Ober
C, D. Myers P. ; for the Juniors — F.
Trimmer C, and C. Sollenberger P.
This is the first of a series of games
to be played between these two
teams and the interest will be in-
creasing as the date for the second
game approaches.
Tennis is becoming very popular
on College Hill once more. From
three to six o'clock the courts are
filled with players who are eagerly
awaiting their turn as per schedule.
This is a great recreational game,
giving splendid exercise to the stu-
dent. We are glad many of our
students are interested in this sport,
A tournament will be arranged in
the nerr future and we are sure it
will prove successful.
Last but not least are the girls
who are keeping pace with the
boys' activities. In tennis they are
doing excellent work and they have
started another game which every
one enjoys. This game is volley
ball. Two new courts were ar-
ranged for volley ball and the girls
are making use of these courts.
When this game is more thoroughly
understood, we feel sure it will be-
come popular.

"A great artist can paint a great
picture on a small canvas." — D. C.
Warner.
It's some consolation in these
days of heart-breaking taxes to
know that our public debt was re-
duced fully one million dollars ev-
ery day during March. — Editorial.
Happy Suggestion for Uncle.
Billy — ''Uncle, make a noise like
a frog."
"Why," asked the old man.
"'Cause when I ask daddy to buy
me anything, he says, 'Wait till your
uncle croaks, Billy."
A Modern Elephant.
Johnny came back from the cir-
cus very much excited: "O ma," he
cried as soon as he got home, "Kate
spilled some peanuts and what do
you suppose the elephant did? He
picked them all up with his vacuum
cleaner."
Taking a Chance.
Magistrate of Irish court (after a
turbulent scene amongst the gener-
al public) "The next person that
yells 'Down with England!' I'll have
thrown out in the street."

Jackie — "Ma, what are they sing-

church,"
Jesus Is a Rock in a Weary Land.
Mother — "Bob stop throwing
stones and .come right in."
Bob — "Why can't I throw stones?
In Sunday School we sing, "Jesus
Threw a Rock and Away He Ran."
Revive Us Again.
In the church where revivals were
often held, another revival was be-
gun. The meeting was opened by
singing, "Revive Us Again." Little
Paul came home and said, "O, Moth-
er, they sang the right piece all
right — "Revivals again."
The Country's Call
Give me men to match my
mountains ;
Men, to match my inland plains;
Men with firmness in their pur-

Men with neurones in their

Give me men to match my prai-

Men whose thoughts shall have a
pathway
Up to ampler destinies.

Influence of Good Parents
Good parents are worth countless
numbers of reformers and social en-
gineers. Newspapers and maga-
zines often speak about fathers who
are drunk, vicious and insane and
depict mothers who are c.areless,
indifferent and divorced. What
about that multitude of good par-
ents whose names may not appear
in print?
Let us place them on the screen
for a few minutes. We now see
smiles of approval and looks of dis-
approval of parents with a fathom-
less love for their children's suc-
cess and happiness. We see child-
ren respond to the touch of these
natural master teachers and then
satisfaction lighting up the faces of
parents when they realize the fruit
of their planting. We see parents
placing a golden chain of confidence
around their children to safeguard
their future.
What goes into the first of life
goes into all of life is an established
fact. Modern psychology teaches
us that the child's temperament is
determined largely between the ages
of one and three. A sunny disposi-
tion is caught by the child at his
early age from the parents or per-
sons in charge, of the child.
Children who become successful
farmers, far sighted business "men,
silver-tongued orators, and great
artists almost invariably get their
impetus of influence during their
golden age of memory, between the
ages of eight and fifteen. Good
mothers of to-day tell us they took
bake-ology, make-ology and mend-
ology during this age, under the
close supervision of their mothers.
In fact most men and women of
success attribute their choice of
books, friends, avocations, vocations
and standards of living to the
proved traditions and beliefs of ex-
perienced fathers and wide-awake
mothers. Normal children seek the
highest and best that parents can
give when they see preference to
advantages of making certain
choices in preference to others.
A Wish For Parents
Let every day be Parent's Day
Make roses grow along their way
and beauty everywhere
Oh never let their eyes be wet
With tears of sorrow or regret,
And never cease to care !
Come grown up children and re-
joice
That you can hear a parent's voice.
A day for them? For you they
gave
Long years of love and service brave
For you their youth was spent;
There was no weight of hurt or care
Too heavy for their strength to
bear,
They followed where you went;
Their courage and their love sub-
lime
You could depend on all the time.

Origin of Mothers' Day
The *>e. ond Sunday in May has
come to be recognized as Mothers'
Day. Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadel-
phia is known as the originator of
the idea of observing some special
day in honor of mothers. In 1907
she desired to commemorate the
anniversary of her own mother's
home-going, which event had oc-
curred in 1906. She gave express-
ion to her desires by making an ef-
fort to have all persons, on a certain
day, give some special recognition
or token of remembrance in honor
of their mother, whether living here
or beyond.
Between Easter and Pentecostal
Day, how beautiful to observe a
Mothers' Memorial Day ! The white
carnation, the memory flower, is an
emblem of the purity and fragrance
in the lives of holy motherhood. Its
whiteness stands for purity; its form
stands for beauty; its fragrance
stands for love ; its wide field of
growth, for charity; and its lasting
quality, for faithfulness — all a true
mother's virtues.
Jesus, Home, and Mother are
words that touch the heart of the
world deeper than any others. If
it is an angel mother, she makes
heaven more inviting; if still in the
earthly home, she is the constant
guide and unchangeable friend,
moving about in sweet ministries
and loving service.
Not only are we to brighten the
lives of our mothers; make them
more honored, more loved, and more
protected by their children, but to
remind sons and daughters, especial-
ly busy, successful men and women,
of the unselfish devotion of their
mothers, and possibly of their own
selfish neglect to parents. We
should ask men, women, and chil-
dren to make their mothers feel
on that May day that in her child-
ren's hearts she is the "Queen of
May."
Eulogy of Mother
Mother's love is abiding, perman-
ent, eternal. Mothers' prayers fol-
low us wTherever we go. If every-
one forsake or fail us, still mother
will never leave us. When the
arrows of criticism fly thick and
fast, she will always stand by you.
In history great men have often
attributed their greatness to their
mothers. Who could cast aside
such a love as mother's love. The
face and prayers of mother can
never be forgotten no matter where
her boy may go. Her prayers are
often the secret of .his success.
What can you do to show your
appreciation to her? It is splendid
to send her flowers or a letter, but
the thing that will satisfy her best
will be your bringing to her a rich,
consecrated Christian life. Never
be ashamed to accept mother's
Bible and her God. If you do less
than this you will bring pain to her
heart. Make every day a Mother's
Day. .

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
The Aristocracy of Achievement
Throughout the history of all ages
and all peoples and all countries
there has ever been class distinction.
No matter what the form of govern-
ment has been this condition has ex-
isted and still exists in a more or
less extensive* form. Even in our
democracy it is noticeable. And it
will ever be so. "Some will always
be above others. Destroy the in-
equality today, and it will appear
again tomorrow."
The highest rank of people have
always been the leaders. They set
the pace and the world imitates. Be-
cause of their responsible position
in setting the standards for the
masses, this class of people should
constitute the noblest and best peo-
ple in the nation.
In studying the history of the
different countries we find several
ways by which man can become a
member of an aristocracy. Pro-
bably the most common way is by
birth. Many are in this class be-
cause they have inherited the posi-
tion, not because of any deeds of
their own. Others have attained
the place by marriage. Many of
our American girls have been eager
to marry into the nobility of Eng-
land, to marry men of titles because
of the prestige they receive. Others
have reached this enviable position
because of favor. Perhaps some in-
fluential man has given them a high
position more for the sake of friend-
ship, or for personal interest than
for their ability to fulfill the obliga-
tions of their office. And still others
get there by luck. We too often
judge a man by the size of his bank
account. In these days when for-
tunes are so easily made many men
unworthy of the high place in life
are given a name among the aristo-
cracy.
But last and best is the man who
rises by virtue of his own achieve-
ments. This is the man of whom I
wish to speak. Today the others
are loosing their hold and their in-
fluence upon society. The leaders
are men who have won their pres-
tige by accomplishments, not of
some other person, but of their own.
The former classes have had their
day. They must give place to the
men to whom it rightfully belongs,
to the men who earn it, to the only
class of men who are worthy of the
prestige it gives. .
Fortunately, in our own beloved
nation the men at the top have for
the most part been men who have
climbed up the ladder of success by
achievements.
In our national history we honor
the names of Washington, Lincoln,
Roosevelt and scores of others. In
the history of our education we have
written upon the walls of time the
names of such men as Horace Mann,
Henry Barnard, and Mark Hopkins.
We revere the names of Longfellow,
Whittier, Lowell, Irving, and Haw-
thorne, who have done so much to
enrich our literature. None of these
men were geniuses. But each had
a rich and resourceful personality,
and each did his bit as he saw an
opportunity.
But I wohild not have you think
that only the men and women whose
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
13
names are recorded upon the pages
of history belong to this aristocracy.
Some of the noblest and truest men
of this class have never been heard
of by the world. They have in their
quiet way been doing the many little
things. It is the man who is faith-
ful in a few things that shall be
made ruler over many things.
Each one of us may place himself
in this class since the only qualifica-
tion is the ability to achieve some-
thing worth while. There are three
essentials in achievement, — a train-
ed hand, an enlightened mind, and
a definite purpose of heart.
The one with the trained hand is
a doer. Christ, the greatest of all
men, our Master, was a doer. Could
we do any better than follow his ex-
ample? All persons who wish to
climb to the top must be persons of
action. For "a right act strikes a
chord that extends through the
whole universe, touches all mofal
intelligence, visits every world, vi-
brates along its whole extent, and
conveys its vibrations to the very
bosom of God." But this is imposs-
ible unless we are able to think
and to guide our actions.
This leads us to the second essen-
tial, an enlightened mind. In order
to have an enlightened mind we
must have a good general educa-
tion. Then we can look at -every
question squarely from various
view points. I can almost hear
some one say, "Oh, I never had a
chance to go to school." But that
is no longer a valid excuse. Altho
going to school is an advantage, it
is not an essential. Many of the
men to whom the world will forever
be indebted were "chimney-corner
graduates". You can teach your-
self. And you must. For what
more is a college than a "place
where you train yourself and teach
yourself — under guidance and with
certain advantages"? With our
cheap editions of books, newspap-
ers, and magazines, in the great
school of life, there is no excuse for
ignorance. Learn to act and to
think. But do still more — have an
aim, an ideal toward which you are
striving.
Carlyle said, "Have a purpose
in life, and having it, -throw into
your work such strength of mind
and muscle as God has given you."
"Providence has nothing good or
high in store for one who does not
resolutely aim at something high or
good. A purpose is the eternal con-
dition of success." We cannot make
any plans nor do any definite work
unless we know toward what we are
striving. High ideals bring about
great accomplishments.
Perhaps this can best be illustrat-
ed by the story of the life of Dr.
John Brashear who, with the aid of
his wife, worked after supper in a
little shop built by themselves.
They made what are considered the
bsst astronomical instruments ever
produced. When the Canadian
Government wished to have the larg-
est telescope in the world they
turned to Brashear. Dr. Brashear
said, "If there is anything in my life
uncommon it is because from the
time I was a boy, no matter what
I tried to do, I tried to do it a little
14
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
better than it had ever been done be-
fore." High ideals such as this are
not without their reward. When
Governor Brumbaugh was asked to
name the greatest man in Pennsyl-
vania he named Dr. Brashear.
Charles M. Schwab says of him, "Of
all the men of fame and achieve-
ment I have ever known, he is the
most wonderful.
Among the many ideals of man-
kind, God has never ceased to be
the one true aim of all human as-
piration.
So with the hands of a doer, the
mind of a thinker, and a heart throb-
bing with a noble purpose, greater
things can be accomplished than
they have realized in the past.
The most beautiful thought about
it is that these qualities can be pos-
sessed by you and me. It is for us
to say whether or not we will pay
the price of preparation. This prep-
aration will cost self-denial and self-
sacrifice, it will cost the denial of
many hours of pleasure and amuse-
ment, it will cost hours of .hard toil
and study, it will cost dollars and
cents, it may cost the price of fine
apparel, or the price of a meal or
two. But it is worth the cost, for
while you toil you gain patience,
perseverance, sympathy, apprecia-
tion of the great and noble, and tol-
erance for others, along with in-
creased mental capacity and in-
creased ability in adding your bit to
relieve the great needs of society, —
all of which goes to make up a life
of service and achievement.
The time for us to choose the class
in which we would have our names
enrolled is now, while we are in our
youth. There are many opportuni-
ties for service calling to the serious-
minded young men and women of
to-day. If we do not answer the call
some one will suffer. Would that
all would choose a life of the great-
est possible service to-day! Would
that all would choose to place their
names among those who are mem-
bers of an ^aristocracy not doomed
to perish and decay with the ravages
of time, but destined to be crowned
with the immortal heroes of the ages
after life's persistent struggle shall
have exalted the lowly workman to
a pinnacle of undying glory!
Alta Nunemaker
Good resolutions are for the

ing him some of your time." — Sparks

Marks of True Greatness
Alice Gary says:
"True worth is in being, not seem-
ing-,
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good, not in dreaming
Of great things to do by and by."
True greatness is more than sta-
ture. It lies not in wealth, nor in
social position; not in what men ssy
or think of us. Men great in the
eyes of the world may be unknown
to Him who will judge and reward
true greatness. True greatness lies
in greatness of soul. And God
in His infinite wisdom can
and does distinguish true greatness
from the so-called greatness promp-
ted by a desire tor honor.
Jesus said, "If any man desire to
be great, he shall be servant of all."
So we so*? that service is a nrmrk of
true greatness. The greatest, the
richest, the strongest is truly great
only as he is servant of the weak and
poor.
Real genuine service to mankind
is prompted by love, and is not pos-
sible without humility. H^v beau-
tiftf! is a lifr' of service! No better
example of true greataess through
&• i vice can be found than the life
of CI rist. H s life was a busy life;
but no matter how busy he was, he
was always ready to help those in
need. It was the great Jcve iJe ^ad
for mankind that jprompted Him
to stop by the wayside to heal the
sick, and to give sight to the blind.
It was His great love and compassion
that prompted Him to tarry with ! he
multitude and feed the five thousand
hungry souls. The truly great one
must be humble and have the spirit
of helpfulness which was shown in
the action of that student who, when
she saw an old lady on her way to
church drop her Bible, ra,n and
picked it up for her. The truly great
must also be kind and sympathetic
and courteous in their daily life.
Another mark of true greatness
is self-control ; for if a man have all
the other marks of success, he can-
not be really successful and truly
great without being able to control
himself. Besides controlling his mo-
tor activities, he must also be able
to control his mental life. In what-
ever vocation one is engaged, one
comes to places where it is easy to
think of one's failures and discourag
ing circumstances, and forget the
sunshine of the past and the bright
hopes of the future.
It's easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows along like a song,
But the man worth while
Is the man who will smile,
When everything goes dead wrong.
Some one else has said, "Failure,
to the man who receives it right, is
only a spur to press forward in the
fight. It takes a big soul to receive
failure aright; to look on the bright
side when darkness is all around;
to appreciate our blessings in the
face of disappointments ; to be sin-
cere and honest under all trying
circumstances.
Dr. Raffles said, "I have made it
a rule never to be with any one ten
minutes without trying to make him
happier."
Fanny Crosby was deprived of
her eyesight; but she didn't let the
16
OUR COLLEGE TIMBS
thought of her infirmities dominate
in her life. She thought of what
she enjoyed and what she could do
for humanity. And as a result of
self control and her aim to serve,
we have the beautiful hymns which
she wrote.
Another mark of true greatness
is abandonment of self.
Brooding over one's cares is a
mark of selfishness and brings mis-
ery all around. But the truly great
man is the one who forgets himself
and is happy in serving others. A
certain author has said, "He who
does nothing for others does noth-
ing for himself." Mary Lyon had
the welfare of others at heart. She
had the chance to live selfishly in
luxury, but she chose rather to give
her life to pave the way for wo-
man's education and so establish a
school for girls. M. M.
Our life is a keyboard. The mas-
ter's fingers will sweep over it, and
a weary world will catch notes of
melody as we pass along. The life
that is in tune with God is keyed to
the note "of God. R. Miller.
Simple Housekeeping
Pres. Harding has set a real ex-
ample in economy. The expense of
running the White House; includ-
ing the executive offices, was only
$15,010 for the month of February.
The average cost for a number of
years has been between $20,000 and
$25,000 per month. •
Current Events.
Education and World Peace
Our advance toward world peace
is the result of our advance in edu-
cation. The two go hand in hand.
We have advanced'not only in know-
ledge of abstract science, but we
now know more fully than ever be-
fore the existing conditions of our
country as a result of the past war.
We also have a broader view of
the world at large, and in these days
of universal unrest we see the need
of making a righteous adjustment.
In the early days, war was the
chief organ of civilization. When
a question came up and the parties
concerned did not agree, fighting
was started. But this should not be
the case now. We have been e.la-
ca^ed, and we know that the great
international problems confronting
the world today cannot be settled
by fighting.
JL-.ve you not noticed that when
two nations engage in war to settle
a question, They do not settle it by
fighting? War comes to a close,
but there is no peace. Parties are
still at war — not in arms, perhaps,
but intellectually at war. The spirit
of peace and good will to men does
not come as a result of war. The
two parties must get together in a
conference and come to a common
agreement before there will be
peace.
There must be peace if there is
to he prosperity; and a certain writ-
er has said that at the present time
revival abroad must precede pros-
perity at home. We cannot prosper
if other rations do not prosper. No
nation is big enough and. strong
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
17
enough to live alone and continue
in peace and prosperity.
There must be cooperation be-
tween America and European nat-
ion-. Our educated leaders know
thi: They see that instead of trying
to solve our national problems as
has been done in the last decades,
it is better to meet with the leaders
of other nations and take up the in-
ternational problems. They see that
our national questions are a part of
tne international problems.
It has been sail that the United
States grew as much that one week
when the Disarmament Conference
convened in Washington as it had
during the previous forty years. We
mar'c a great stride toward world
peace and world welfare.
We now know that there is an
economic relationship between the
nations. Politics can cast this fact
aside or ignore it, but it will assert
itself again and again until it is
recognized.
"All for one and one for all" is
said by some to be too altruistic a
slogan for a world composed as ours
is at present. We must have a mot-
to something like this one to direct
the policies of the various nations if
there is to be continued progress in
industry as well as in education.
We are making progress in educa-
tion, but cooperation with other na-
tions is necessary in order to contin-
ue it.
Abraham Lincoln, while on his
way to the city, forgot about his
clothes for the time being and as-
sisted a pig out of the mire. His
kindness to all classes of people as
well as to all living creatures reveal-
ed his greatness of soul.
Respect for others especially our
elders and their ideas is also a mark
of true greatness. . Washington lov-
ed his mother dearly and respected
her highly. That policeman who
is especially concerned that the
aged ones and the small children
pass his crossing in safety is a real
n, an.
Last but not least, one must have*
an aim and must strive to attain to
it. One does not dare to live with-
out a goal toward which his living
shall be bent, for no one can be
truly great who does not strive
with a definite purpose. One must
look up. not down; forward, not
back; and his ambition must be di-
rected and inspired by God in order
to attain to greatness.
When world peace is once estab-
lished and when the nations are
working for world welfare instead
of secretly planning destruction
of life and property, there will be
more time and more money given
and used for the cause of education.
It has been estimated that after the
plan of the Disarmament Confer-
ence is in effect United States will
save $100,000,000 per year, an av-
erage of $3.00 for each tax payer.
This may be used for better schools
in place of keeping up battleships
and armies. If after the present
war debt is paid, no more lives, no
more property, and no more money
need be used for war, but all will
work for the advancement, of edu-
cation, learning and culture, who
can predict what strides we will be
able to make in the next few de-
cades alone? M. M. M.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
The Eternal Conflict.
The struggle is now on. The con-
flict is being waged. It is a contest
of error against* truth, and truth
against error. Even since the trans-
gression of Adam, man had to en-
gage in this conflict. Until the end
of time he will have to do with it.
My hearers, it is for your encourage-
ment that this message is delivered.
The responsibility of the final out-
come rests with you, parents of the
home, teachers of the school, min-
isters of the church, citizens of the
state.
The home is first and fundamen-
tal. The home makes the first
stamp and sets the first seal upon
the plastic nature of the child. The
home impresses the first marks of
character upon the child. It uncov-
ers the moral fountain, chooses its
channels, and gives the stream its
first impulse. The home gives the
first tone to desires. It furnishes
ingredients which either sweeten or
embitter the whole cup of life. It
is you, parents of America, who
send the burning torch of enlighten-
ment and self-control down thru
the ages. You must help these
young Americans to control their in-
born passions. The training you
give in the home will either make
or mar character. Your influence
is either a blessing or a curse. The
influence you throw around your
child is silent, calm, yet irresistible
and permanent. It is like a calm,
deep stream that moves on silently
but with overwhelming power.
The home is where the roots of
habit strike deep into human na-
ture. Good habits formed in the
home will transform the community
and the world. Great is the power
of love for the right started in the
home — it undermines like a wave,
it rends like an earthquake, it melts
like a fire, it inspires like music, it
binds like a chain, it detains like a
good story, it cheers like a sun-
beam.
The most renowned statesmen,
the most eloquent lecturers, the
greatest benefactors of mankind,
all attribute their greatness to the
fostering influence of home and
mother. The home is not a school
of solemnity and rigid discipline. It
is not a place where virtue is
made a task and progress a sharp
necessity. It is a place for free and
easy exercise of all desirable graces,
where obedience is a pleasure, dis-
cipline a joy, improvement a self-
satisfying delight.
Parents of America, appreciate
the responsibility devolving upon
you, seize your opportunities of
training the youth of the land.
Guide your children so that their
souls may not be bound by slavery
to bad habits. It is for you to de-
cide whether your children will be
adherents of truth or allies of error.
Practice no deception in their pres-
ence, allow no exaggerations in con-
versation. Remember that every-
thing which leaves the boundaries
of truth must enter the precincts of
falsehood. Remember that your
contribution to the triumph of truth
plays a large part in the eternal
struggle.
OUR COLLEGE TIMES

Next in importance to the home is
the school. The problems and bur-
dens of the home are too many and
too heavy for over-worked mothers
to cope with adequately. The
school steps in to relieve the home
of its burdens and responsibilities
in this struggle of truth against er-
ror. Teachers and educators of
America, listen to the voices of long
ago, so long ago, yet so clear and
near in their tones that you can hear
the warning note sounding even
now. Be careful and vigilant in
this age-long conflict. It is a trum-
pet call of ancient visions of free-
dom coming across the centuries to
the armies of education in America.
Listen again in the quiet of our
schools and you will hear the echo-
ing thunder of a long-fought war.
It is not yet ended.
It is the war between the freedom
of knowledge and the slavery of ig-
norance. That warfare is the one
business of education. It is the one
reason why we need schools.
Teachers and patrons, help the
school to fulfill the need for which
it was created. Give your child a
liberal training and fit him for that
for which he is adapted. Broaden his
life and make it better worth living.
Assist him in getting high ideals
that will transfer into actual life.
School education is in this day a
mighty engine of progress. The
teacher is an emancipator. The
school delivers the children from ig-
norant prejudice and counteracts
tradition. The school brings har-
mony, truth, and freedom into the
life of the pupil who is waging the
conflict against ignorance..
Teachers, educators, you are en-
gaged in an eternal conflict. It is
your sincere and untiring efforts in
the school which will determine
the success or failure of individuals
and the nation. It is not an easy
task. It is not a struggle againsi.
flesh and blood, but against the un-
seen powers of darkness, moral and
intellectual darkness. Quit you like
men, put on the whole armor of
faith. Face your tasks unflinching-
ly with renewed courage, greater
zeal and a more vigorous enthus-
iasm. Your efforts are not in vain
but as the labor so is the reward.
Of the institutions that contribute
to the triumph of truth, the church
has a very important- part. The
church is the divinely instituted
guardian of all the forces of right.
It also is an educational institution.
It stands for the spread of the high-
est kind of knowledge and ultimate
standards of conduct and right. The
church is entrusted with the train-
ing of the youth in religious educa-
tion and spiritual truth. Unless
training in religion and the great
facts of the Fatherhood of God, the
brotherhood of man, the divinity of
Christ and the inspiration of the
Bible keep apace with the training
in secular things, the efforts of the
church will be in vain and the con-
flict lost. There never was greater
need for the church to assert itself
in the fulfillment of its mission.
You, ministers of His flock like
shepherds of old, lead on and the
sheep will follow. Men and women
from all walks of life have entrust-
ed their souls to your guidance.
They confide in you in times of

greatest joy and' times of deepest

You have been entrusted with the
spiritual welfare of individuals and
the nation. Your work begins at the
cradle and ends at the grave. Re-
gardless of position, intelligence or
wealth, men and women everywhere
are living temples in which the soul
lives and the spirit dwells. These
temples, the bodies of men, easily
become defiled. It is your ministry
that is so much needed on the- part
of individuals to keep them from fal-
ling and to direct their feet in right
paths. A large part of the burden
of tiding the youth from boyhood
and girlhood to manhood and wom-
anhood rests upon you, shepherds of
the flock. Educate these youths to
the truth, encourage them to be
brave and stand firm, and they will
prove faithful. Allow them to sow
their wild oats, and they and the
world will reap the harvest, they
will have paid the price, their lives
will be blasted, and the conflict lost
forever. But teach these youths
whole-souled obedience to duty,
whole-hearted devotion to the high-
est and absolute truth, and the in-
stitution of the church will have per-
formed its mission and the right out-
come of the conflict will be certain.
The fourth and last factor which
we have chosen to discuss is the
state of citizenry of our nation.
What can the home do, what do the
schools amount to, of what value is
the influence of the church, unless
the citizenry which go to make up
the rank and file of our communi-
ties and nation are willing to incor-
porate the ideals of these institu-
tions in their standards of conduct,
laws, and jurisprudence. It too
frequently is the case that there are
double standards of living which
make for confusion and internal
weakness. For a nation to be ir-
resistible for the right, the citizenry
of that nation will have to be united
on the highest planes of living. Un-
less the citizenry is willing to im-
bibe into its life and everyday con-
duct only the highest ideal of the
Christian home, the school and the
Christian church, the efforts of these
other institutions are futile. A na-
tion enjoys the protection, intellect-
ual freedom, and religious liberty
that it does because of the influence
of its Christian homes, schools, and
churches.
Citizens of this commonwealth,
what are you willing to do to im-
prove your community that the next
generation may carry on this con-
flict for triumph of right even m ire
effectively? You need not be a
great statesman nor a pow?rful
lender to accomplish this. Allow
civic duty to become a part of your
Christianity. Make your community
a fit place in which to rear the ris-
ing generation entrusted to your
care .
Parents, patriarchs of the home,
teachers, monarchs of the school,
ministers, shepherds of the ■lock,
citizens, members of society. Fight
on brave hearts, falter not thru
dark disaster nor thru bri/ht for-

tune. The noble cause for which
you strive is sure of victory. Error
will l>e abolished, truth wiH triumph.

The Character of Newsboy
The newsboys are in general a
class of poor boys. Psychology
teaches us that the newsboy's mind
is far more developed than the or-
dinary boy's mind. It is very tire-
some work to sell newspapers. It
requires the greatest initiative,
strong personality, determination,
ability to pass off a stern rebuke,
and the ambition to try again. The
newsboy has one of the most difficult
tasks that there are to do. He must
please everybody and not mind if
no one pleases him. The newsboy
studies human nature. He knows
a man's inclination at first sight. He
can almost read a man's character.
The newsboy becomes very alert
and ambitious, and he exercisi-s
good judgment. Many newsboys
become leaders in our land because
of their ample experience.
College Iftews
The last prayer-meeting for this
school year was conducted by the
Senior Class. The program consist-
ed of discussions, music, and prayer.
Miss Martha Oberholser, a mem-
ber of the Senior class who is finish-
ing the Junior College Course in Ed-
ucation this year, entertained at her
house the members of the Senior
Class. All had a splendid time.
The members of the student body
who had charge of the outpost Sun-
day School at Stevens Hill gave their
farewell address to their pupils on
Sunday evening May 29.
Miss Anna Wolgemuth, the edit-
or-in-chief of Our College Times,
entertained the members of the
staff on Thursday evening June 1.
After a short program refreshments
were served.
Miss Lois Falkenstein entertained
Miss Esther Trimmer, Miss Hannah
Sherman, and Miss Elsie Landis at
her home May 31.
Professor J. G. Myer, president of
the College, entertained the Senior
Class at his home on College Avenue
on the evening of June 2. All the
Seniors who were present say they
had a delightful time.
Recently Professor Rose gave an
interesting talk in the College Chap-
el on the prospective library rules
for next year.
Miss Brubaker — "A lecturer at
the Lancaster County Institute said
that every girl who teaches in the
rural school should change her bow
once in a while."
Mr. Carl Smith Dow, a student of
the University of Pennsylvania gave
22
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
an address before the two welfare
associations at the College on Friday
evening at six o'clock. His subject
was "The Challenge to the College
Man."
The students and teachers of Eliz-
abethtown have again showed their
liberality by giving not only their
quota of six hundred dollars but a
larger sum of seven hundred and
fifty dollars toward the erection of
a Boys' Building in Show Yong, Chi-
na. The Colleges of the Church of
the Brethren have been requested
to raise $7,500 for the erection of
this building.
Mrs. Jenkins, the community
nurse for Lititz and its vicinity,
spoke to the two welfare associa-
tions on the evening of May 25.
She spoke on the subject of "Ideals
for our Young People."
The Spring Ouiing
The student body enjoyed a vaca-
tion on Memorial Day. They spent
the day in the annual spring outing.
Lunch was packed by members
of the faculty and students who
were willing to lend a helping hand
to the social committee. Everything
was in readiness to start at 9 :00
o'clock. Two hay-ladder wagons
were procured from a farmer living
near the College. The students
were ready to enjoy a straw ride to
Governor's Stables, a famous spot
of Revolutionery interest located
near Falmouth. After lunch was
served the students hiked about a
mile thru the woods to 'the river.
After several hours of enjoyment
there, they returned to Governor's
Stables. They were homeward
bound by 4:30 P. M. and reached
College Hill by 6:30 P. M. Every
student says they had an enjoyable
time.
Faculty is Entertained by Seniors
A few weeks ago the senior class
decided to show at least part of
their appreciation to the faculty for
what they have done for them while
here at school. A reception was
scheduled and the faculty was in-
vited to attend a program given by
the senior class in the College Chap-
el. After the program they went to
the Commercial Hall which was
tastefully decorated in the class col-
ors and partook of refreshments.
At ten o'clock promptly the fare-
wells were given.

Prayer Meeting
The prayer meeting on Wednes-
day evening May 31 was conducted
by the Senior Class. Ephraim Hertz-
ler, the president of the class, had
charge of the meeting. The song,
"Higher Ground," in keeping with
the motto, "Gradatim" (upward
step by step), was sung. Mr. Fran-
cis Barr conducted the devotional
exercises. Lester Royer discussed
the topic, " What Elizabethtown
College has done for me morally."
Minnie Myer told what college life
has done for her in the spiritual life.
Mr. Willoughby told us what we
owe to our Alma Mater. Nathan
Meyer toolothe larger field telling
us what our relation is to the world
as we leave school life and launch
forth into service. Miss Martz re-
cited the poem, "Gradatim." A
mixed quartette rendered several
selections. Each one left the prayer
meeting feeling that he had been
benefited by the exercises.
Chapel Echoes
We should think of life as a day.
Morning is the youth or spring time ;
noon is the prime of life ; evening
represents the close of life. What
kind of day would you select to re-
present your life?— of course it
would be a beautiful spring day.
Often as the day starts so it will end.
You will die as you live. You can-
not expect to have a bright, prospec-
tive death if your days are dark and
gloomy. We are always happy
when we come to the end of a suc-
cessful day. Give yourself over to
God during the night and let Him
have charge of you and use you as
He will. If you close a day on earth
in the attitude of prayer so you will
close your life.
A. C. Baugher.
Children of God must be lights' of
the world. Under the old dispen-
sation men lived on a certain level,
but when Christ came he gave high-
er standards. Some folks live on
peaks, others are lower down in life.
It is impossible to keep right with
God unless we grow. People often
cast out of their lives just the things
which would help to lift them. If
you can't live a good Christian life
at a Christian school you can't do
it any place.
R. W. Schlosser.
There are certain props of charac-
ter which help to keep us on high
planes of living. Each individual
has at least one main prop ; but is
it the right kind of prop? Honor
may be a main prop, but if it leans,
then the standards will fall. Repu-
tation may also be a prop to hold
up the life of an individual. Inspir-
ation is a motivating force at school.
Some people build on that. Friends
keep us close to ideals. Good homes
and training should be factors in our
lives. But not one of these dare be
the main prop. The main prop of
each life must be Jesus Christ.
24
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
It is singular that the Class of
1911 consisted of only - twenty-two
members, and yet represented ten
courses of study.
R. W. Schlosser and L. D. Rose
completed the College Course in
that year, receiving their degree
from Ursinus College. Prof. Rose
taught school in western Pennsyl-
vania for a number of years. He
kept in close touch with his Alma
Mater and established a Senior Ora-
torical Contest at the College by do-
nating the prizes from year to year.
He has been our efficient College
Librarian during the past school
year.
Prof. Schlosser was a teacher in
his Alma Mater for some years. Dur-
ing 1920 and '21, he directed the
College Endowment Campaign. The
success of this campaign was a great
step toward the standardization of
Elizabethtown College, which was
finally realized December 21, 1921.
Prof. Schlosser received his A. M.
degree at Columbia University this
year. He will be welcomed as a
member of next year's faculty on
College Hill.
S. P. Sumpman, M. Gertrude
Hess, H. K. Eby, and Jacob E.
Myers represented the Pedagogical
Course. Rev. Sumpman is now pas-
tor of the Evangelical Church at
Pottstown. He has been a special
student at the College for some time
and receives his A. B. degree in the
Class of '22.
M. Gertrude Hess taught music
at the College for a while after
graduation. She is now known as
the wife of Prof. J. H. Fries of Mc-
Pherson College, Kansas. They
have resided in Kansas since 1916.
There are three children in the
home, — Harold, Ramona Ruth and
Mildred.
H. K. Eby and Jacob E. Myers
have continued steadily in the teach-
ing profession, the former as Prin-
cipal of the Hollidaysburg High
School and the latter as teacher of
Latin in the Hanover High School.
Mr. Myers is also a minister of the
gospel and a very active Sunday
School leader.
Nora Reber, Mamie Keller and
Lillian Falkenstein completed the
English Scientific Course in 1911.
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
25
These ladies, after teaching a short
time, became home-makers. Both
Miss Reber and Miss Falkenstein
met their future husbands while
students at Bethany Bible School,
Chicago. Nora Reber became the
bride of F. M. Hollenberg of Canada
in June, 1919. They are now locat-
ed at Vada, India, as missionaries.

Lillian Falkenstein was married
to William A. Willoughby, of #New
Mexico. During the years in which
they lived in Chicago, William
George and Evelyn were welcomed
into their home. They enjoy life on
College Hill after having lived in
the city for some years. Mrs. Will-
oughby taught French and Spanish
during the past year, and Mr. Will-
oughby is completing the A. Bv.
Course as a member of the Class of
'22.
Mamie Keller has for some years
been known as the wife of Prof. L.
W. Leiter. They are the fond par-
ents of Eugene, Emerson, Laban, Jr.,
and Dorothy Leiter. Leah Ida, the
oldest of the children, was removed
out of this happy home by death
last November.
Prof. L. W. Leiter was also a
member of the '11 class. He com-
pleted the College Preparatory
Course. He was elected to the min-
istry in the Antietam congregation
and served that congregation faith-
fully while residing there and also
for some time after returning to
College Hill as professor of Biology.
Emma S. Miller represented the
English Bible Course. She has been
an active home missionary at var-
ious places ever since. She is now
engaged in city mission work in
Chanute, Kansas.
Prof. Tillman H. Ebersole, also a
Preparatory Senior of '11, is a teach-
er in the Elizabethtown schools and
director of a local chorus.
Prof. E. Merton Crouthamel,
another Preparatory Senior of '11,
has been teacher of mathematics
in the High School at Souderton, Pa.
Mrs. Mary Hershey Crouthamel is
also a teacher in Souderton. She
is receiving her A.B. degree with our
'22 Class, having completed the re-
quired work some years ago. Prof.
Crouthamel completed- the A. B.
Course at Juniata College.
F. L. Olweiler, the fourth repre-
sentative of the Preparatory Course
in '11, is now Secretary of the W.
A. Withers Shoe Company of our
town. Viola E. Withers, 09, became
his bride during the war-time.
Shortly after, he left to serve his
country in France. They are now
the proud parents of Francis, Jr.

rapher in Buffalo, N. Y., and Henry
J. Schaeffer, now a clerk in Butte,
Montana, were the Seniors in the
Advanced Commercial Course.
Alice M. Garber, residing near
Elizabethtown; B. Irene Wise, Pri-
vate Secretary of the Kreider Shoe
Company; and Elma Brandt, now
Mrs. L. F. Blanck of Manheim, were

She writes that she is bringing with
her a large banner for the College.
The people of certain Chinese towns
which had received help during
famine time made a number of ban-
ners and presented them to our
Mission as tokens of appreciation.
Each of our Brethren Colleges is to
receive one of these large, beautiful
banners.
Anna Jane Hackman arrived in
the home of Jacob Z. Hackman, '13,
on April 23.
As the end of the school year is
drawing nigh base ball is becoming
the favorite pastime. Quite a few
games have been played with great
interest on both sides.
Literary vs. Commercial
The Literaries and Commercials,
between whom there is an old fued
in baseball, were called to action
for the second game of the season.
The Commercials, by their splendid
team work captured the first con-
test. The boys came back with
a determination to dethrone their
rivals in the second game. At 4:15
P. M. came the voice of the umpire,
"Play Ball," when the Commercials
went to bat. The hard hitting Fin-
anciers could do nothing with the
pitching of D. Myers. For three
innings he had them whiffing the
air. The Literary boys came to bat
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
27
with a grin. They tried to knock
the ball out of the lot but the
stonewall defense of their oppon-
ents cut down all the rallies of the
opposing team.
In the second inning, however,
one run was sent across the pan
which places the Literary boys in
the lead. In the fourth came the
disaster for the Literaries. The
Commercials began to connect with
the ball. The infielders of the
opposing force could not get to-
gether and hold the ball, and be-
fore they could redeem themselves
the Commercials had driven three
runs across the plate, which proved
to be the winning runs. On the
other hand the skillful pitching of
Edris backed up by the strong de-
fense kept the hard hitting boys to
two runs. The final score was 6 to
2 in favor of the Commercials, thus
ending the series 2 to 0 in favor of
the Commercials.
The batteries were :
Commercials Literaries
Edris, P. D. Myers, P.
Eshleman, C. Ober, C.
Juniors vs. Seniors
The Juniors and Seniors crossed
bats in the second game of the
series, Tuesday evening May 23.
The Juniors having been handed a
defeat in the first combat went into
the game with a desperate deter-
mination to win.
The Juniors were first up to the
bat but somehow could not get into
the old time form even though they
did not lack confidence. The Sen-
iors, however, came to bat strong
and catching the Junior team off
guard piled up three runs in their
half of the first inning.
The game for the next two inn-
ings was nothing less than a pitch-
ing duel. Edris and Sollenberger
both pitching a fine brand of ball.
The game had gone to the fourth
inning and the score stood 3 — 0. in
favor of the Seniors. The critical
moment had 'come, something
must be done. The Juniors realiz-
ing this, opened the fourth framj
with an old time rally and pounded
the pitchers delivery for three tall-
ies making the score tie at 3 — 3.
It looked as though the Juniors were
off, having found their old time bat
and stride. The Seniors were re-
tired in order and this inning also
showed the real calibre of the Jun-
ior infield. Altho the Seniors hit
the ball it was to no avail. Every
Junior was on his toes, playing like
a professional athlete.
The spectators were in an awful
suspense, and at this stage of the
game the interest ran exceedingly
high.
The Juniors opened the fifth inn-
ing with snap and dash and suc-
ceeded to put another run across.
This appeared to all to be the winn-
ing run. But the Seniors came from
the rear and uncorking that mys-
terious ninth inning easily put two
runs over and the game ended 5 — 4
in favor of the Seniors.
It is needless to say that it was
the game of the season. But as
fate would have it the upper class
men again triumphed and were
proclaimed by all "kings of the
diamond."

Love in June
Somethin' meller in the air
Bees and blossoms everywhere
Really don't intend to shirk
But I jest can't get to work
Seein' green new feathered trees
Makes me trimbly in the knees
Jest fall over in the shade
In the greenest grass that's made
Snoozin' to the bluebird's tune
Anybody knows it's June.
Feller watches dronin' bees
Courtin' 'mong the blossom trees
Birds is lovin' right in sight
Don't mind strangers — "not a mite"
So when I met Mary Lou
Kissed her for "How d'ye do?'
Told her she I love the best
Got a shylike timid "yes" —
No use talkin : any loon
Knows 'at love is part of June.

Three boys were boasting about
the earning capacity of their fath-

write a few lines, call it poetry and
sell it for $10.00." The second said,
"My father can draw a few lines,
put a few dots on them, call it mu-
sic and sell it for $25.00." The
third said, "Huh! That's hothin'.
My dad's a preacher and he can
write a few lines, get up and read
them in church and it takes six men
to carry the money down the aisle."

Half the pleasure of traveling is in the journey. The other
half is in reaching the destination.
When you start to save money, much of the pleasure comes

added satisfaction when a definite sum has been reached.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
CMtorial
COMMENCEMENT
Before and After.
Another commencement has come
and gone. On June 8 another class
was graduated from Elizabethtown
College, launched out into a busy,
restless world to struggle with the
more complex problems of life. In
fact, a whole student body was set
at large, each to steer his own
course through a world of green
pastures with now and then its des-
ert sands.
Let us not make the mistake, how-
ever, of thinking that real life be-
gins only with commencement, and
that life in school was very unreal
and far removed from the heart
throbs of the busy, pulsating world
into which we are now going.
Student life in college is different,
of course, from the quiet life back
on the farm or in the homes from
which we came. On the other hand,
college life is also different in some
respects from the busy round of
everyday life in the schoolroom,
office, home, farm, or mission point
to which we are going. Never-
theless, life in school was life and
very real life at that. To many of
us it was a mountain top with op-
portunities to live at one's best, but
even then it was life athrob with
the great heart of the world. It
was not merely preparation for
life, but real life in the making.
Many were the opportunities af-
forded every student to show him-
self a real neighbor in a really help-
ful way. Such chances for helpful-
ness were without number, in the
classroom, on the hall, yes every-
where.
When in school I could choose to
be a true, confidential friend or a
troublesome busybody, just like I
could back home a few years be-
fore, or just like I can now when I
leave school and take my place in a
restless and confused world of
affairs. Even now I can be a turn-
coat, or I can remove the mask and
prove myself a friend as true as
steel.
Every student had opportunities
galore to prove himself honest for
the sake of right principle, or mere-
ly for the sake of "the best policy".
He could even cheat and be down-
right dishonest when he forgot that
character was worth infinitely more
than a few paltry cents or a 95 per
cent grade in a final test. Here a-
gain what I chose to do honestly or
dishonestly has already helped to
determine my success or failure in
later life and my fall or rise in God's
unerring scale of justice.
We even had some leisure in
school that we could either use for
the improvement of our own charac-
ters or that we could misuse to our
own harm, even to the harm of
those whose time we stole while
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
11
squandering our own. We can do
the same even now with the little
leisure we may chance to have, and
the likelihood is that we will spend
it very much as we did back in col-
lege. There is the greater likeli-
hood, however, that we had some
desires stirred, and some tastes
created which will crave for the
food that satisfies rather than for
the leaves and husks.
We had opportunities to bend
ourselves to our tasks and to work
as hard as we ever did back on the
farm, or as we will now out in the
busy world. The world may call
college folks lazy then, if it will.
Honest labor, mental or physical,
brings its own reward, and diligent
service rendered now to the world
may yet convince a doubting neigh-
bor or a brother standing afar off.
Some who stand afar off have
even said that school life makes one
high-minded or conceited. If it
does, it is not because there were no
chances to stoop to lowly service or
to minister to others needs while in
college training. If this accusation
is ever true, it is probably due to the
fact that a little education is a dan-
gerous thing, as it is sometimes de-
clared to be. Nothing so thorough-
ly humbles a sincere soul, bringing
him to the feet of an infinite Creator
and to the service of his fellowme'n,
as a liberal education with God at
the center of the learner's universe.
. Yes, even back in good E. C. the
chances for good or for evil were
somewhat the same as we will meet
them now, only we may expect
temptations to come now with re-
newed force, since it is a stern and
not-less-exacting world we are up a-
gainst, and since we are farther re-
moved from the shelter of her in-
fluence. Surely, our chances to live
upright Christian lives, to correct
evil habits and to replace them with
good ones, and to steer clear of the
many evils rampart today, will
never be greater than they were
back in the good old days at E. C.
Thanks to the good influence and
the high ideals of every Christian
college in this free and enlightened
America ! Every true Christian col-
lege is a light to Amerka while
America stands out as the great
beacon light to the world.
THE SENIOR CLASS
The class 'who duty never shirked
In classroom, hall, or gym;
Who strife and mischief never worked,
So jolly, friendly, too, —
The much loved Class of Twenty-two !
The class of which E. C. will boast
Throughout the coming years:
Whose wondrous deeds will count the most,
To whom much praise is due, —
The famous Class of Twenty-two!
Just like the lights they freely give;
So shall the class e'er shine
In different fields, all staunch and brave,
Illustrious and true, —
The loyal Class of Twenty-two!
May each of you, whoe'er you be,
No matter where you go,
Uphold the standards of E. C,
And Christian service do, —
Thou noble Class of Twenty-two!
Mrs. W. A. Willoughby.

ALUMNI PROGRAM
RECREATION
The alumni program was as in-
teresting, entertaining and helpful
as any of the other programs of
commencement week.
The piano solo and vocal duets
by former students were appreciat-
ed by all. The speaker, Rev. Cape-
tanios of Edincott, New York, was
at his best and held the audience
from beginning to end with his gem
thoughts interspersed with his
sparkling witticism.
Some of his many statements
were : "The latest book on new-
fangled religion is 'Math and Re-
ligion'— I always believed Mathe-
matics was from the Devil".
"People are pleasure-mad and
can't even entertain themselves."
"World and social order is a
boarding-house with the old woman
doing the work and the children
governing the parents."
Quoted — "Woman's dress is long
enough to cover the subject and
short enough to be interesting".
"They talk of the new woman —
I say let her come and bring the new
man with her".
To the little boy who asked what
the chaplain is praying for: "No, he
is not praying for the senators but
for the people (which they gov-
ern)".
There are many kinds of recrea-
tion. Some people count it real re-
creation to have a quiet hour alone
with a good book, others wandering
in the fields studying nature, and
others seeking, here and there, gifts
from nature's bounteous store.
Some may enjoy to spend their
hours of leisure in association with
others, in such exercise as involves
physical exertion, like skating,
swimming or playing ball. This
form of recreation is very valuable,
because it is one of the main sources
of physical development, and with-
out a strong physique one cannot do
his best in the battle of life.
The word recreation implies that
it shall leave us re-created ; that is,
with more energy for our work, not
less. Therefore any recreation that
does not do so should be avoided.
The words of Charles Wesley's
mother should be a guide to every
young person in choosing what he
will do or will not do. She said,
"Whatever weakens your reason,
whatever impairs the tenderness
of your conscience, whatever ob-
scures your sense of God, whatever
increases the strength and authority
of your body over your mind — that
thing to you is wrong, however in-
nocent it may be in itself".

THE SPRING OUTING
Tuesday, the day of the outing,
dawned, promising beautiful weath-
er. All the students were eager to
go. Finally all gathered in front of
Memorial Hall and were packed in
the wagons. We certainly were
packed, just as some good house-
keeper would pack her fruit in a
jar. Finally we started and all
were in good spirits. We had a
long ride over hill and dale and a
few hours later we arrived at our
destination, "Governor's Stables".
We then divided into groups and
each group selected their chaperon.
We started to explore the place and
such climbing over rocks as we did
was enough to stir every drop of
red blood in us. Our group leader
led us to a pretty little stream
where we refreshed ourselves and
whittled some sticks upon which to
roast our "weeners". The call for
dinner soon came and we were glad
to go because everyone had a vora-
cious appetite.
After dinner there was a call by
the group leader to go to the river.
We were all eager to go. The
group followed a small stream, and
such a rocky stream many of us had
never seen before. We were all
warm and thirsty and were glad to
be able to get a refreshing drink at
a farmhouse. We continued on our
way until we arrived at the river.
The river looked very inviting to
swimmers. Some of the boys were
already splashing in the river, at
the same time entertaining others.
Some girls went in, and others fell
in. We reluctantly turned towards
home taking the road by Falmouth.
All were tired by the time we reach-
ed the wagons. After a few an-
nouncements we started for home
and arrived there in safety, feeling
that we had had a most enjoyable
time.
CLASS SONG
I.
'Tis June again, Commencement time,
Our faces now with gladness beam
For we will shortly realize
Our dreams which did so lofty seem;
Our work and play so soon is o'er
And classes too will meet no more,
For now we leave E. C.'s dear halls
To answer life's more urgent calls.
CHORUS
O College Hill, dear College Hill
With "Upward step by step" our goal;
We'll ever faithful be to thee
As thru our lives we onward go.
II.
0 1922 has come
The year which meant so much to all,
How can we e'er forget the time
When we first came here in the fall;
'Twas then we organized our class
And chose our leaders for the year,
We also chose the butter-cup
And black and lemon which are dear.
III.
The time has come for us to part
And leave our friends and teachers too;
We say farewell to one and all
Of the dear class of '22,
We lift our voices clear and strong
To hail E. C. may she live long;
We will forever cherish her
And guard her honor as our own.
Anna Brubaker.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
CLASS PROPHECY
This is the one date of my life, a-
side from my birthday, which I am
not likely to forget. It is the date
when I graduated from E. C. in the
Junior College Course. I really
ought to do something to commem-
orate the event. What could it be?
I know. I will re-read my prophecy
written at that time and see how
nearly correct I prophesied. It is
so warm indoors I shall bring my
chair out here and re-read it.
Miss Anna Brubaker.
The future for this Lititzite looks
very promising. After teaching
two years she will go to Juniata Col-
lege to finish her work in the A. B.
Course in Education. She will con-
tinue to practice her music, but will
take up nursing as her profession.
In fact she will .be a second Mrs.
Jenkins. It is difficult to tell just
how she will write her name in the
future but we expect a Ray will
come on the scent somewhere.
Walter A. Keeney
It seems comparatively easy to
foretell the future of this young
man. After he teaches in the rural
schools for a few years he will go
back to E. C. and finish his A. B.
Course in Education in three years.
He will go back home where he and
Florence will live on one of the most
modernly equipped farms in the
county. We expect to hear from
him as the head of the Farmers'
Association and chairman of the
County Board of Education in York
County.
Miss Mabel Minnich
Mabel will finish the Pedagogical
Course at the end of two years. She
will enter a rural school in one of
the most backward communities in
our state. After she has done real
missionary work here, she will go
back to E. C. and finish her work in
the A. B. Course. After entering
Bethany Bible School to get a more
thorough knowledge of Bible truths,
she will feel prepared to enter the
India field of missions, where she
will prove that she has been educat-
ed for service.
Francis Henry Barr
This classmate of ours is likely to
teach one of the rural schools in one
of the counties of our state. He has
so many in mind it is difficult to tell
which one he will choose. A few
years of his life will be spent in the
mountains of Virginia. He will go
to Bethany Bible School four years
where he will get his B. D. degree.
After he feels that he is thoroughly
prepared for missionary work, he
will sail for the African field of
labor.
Alta M. Nunemaker
This star member of our class
will teach within a few miles of Col-
lege Hill next year. Many of the
students who expect to teach in ru-
ral schools will use her room for ob-
servation work and practice teach-
ing. After teaching a few more
years in this state, she will go "Out
Where the West Begins" and get
her A. B. at Hesston College, Kan-
sas. We are likely to hear from her
as otie of the teachers in Hesston

College. The prophet thinks it will
be the class of Methods in Teach-
ing in the Junior College Course.
Daniel Myers
Some things about this man seem
to be practically settled while oth-
ers seem to be very difficult to de-
cide. Dan will be at E. C. the next
three years, when he will finish his
work on the A. B. Course. The last
two years he will be director of phy-
sical education. After this we ex-
pect to hear from him as principal
of one of the York County High
Schools. His love for physical edu-
cation, his ability to organize and
cooperate with his pupils, and his
wonderful talent as a teacher, will
bring to him the greatest success.
He will answer the call from E. C.
to coach teams in athletics. Furth-
er than this the prophet cannot pre-
dict.
Martha Oberholtzer
This classmate of ours will be
teacher in the sewing department
on College Hill for the next two
years. Because she feels a strong
missionary call to the China field,
she will finish the A. B. Course and
take two years of Bible training to
get a thorough knowledge of Bible
truths and how to teach them.
Wedding" bells will ring for her. As
soon as they feel thoroughly pre-
pared they will sail for China. (How
strange I have never heard from
her.)
Walter Longenecker
Even though Walter finished the
Commercial Course this year, we
expect to hear from him in one of
the rural schools of Lebanon County.
Since this is almost out of his line,
two years of experience will be e-
nough for him. He will put his
teaching ability to use by teaching
bookkeeping in one of the Lebanon
Commercial Schools. Since he al-
ways delighted in doing athletic
stunts, we are not surprised to find
him discontented here. The next
place we expect him to fill will be
as teacher in the B. S. Course and
assistant to Mr. Myers, the Physi-
cal Education director.
Esther Trimmer
We will find this jolly girl on the
hill the next few years. After she
has finished her A. B. " Course she
will enter the Conservatory of Mu-
sic at Chicago. After she is thor-
oughly trained in vocal music she
will return to her Alma Mater and
teach voice culture for five years.
Finally and eventually we expect to
hear from her living in their beauti-
ful home in the Hawaian Islands,
where her husband will be taking
up work along missionary and edu-
cational lines.
Mr. Witmer Eshleman
We can expect to hear from Wit-
mer on College Hill the next two
years. By this time he will have
fininshed his Junior College Course.
He will enter the schoolroom with
the degree of teacher attached to
his name. He will be satisfied with
this only three years. Of couse he
will return to College Hill for his A.
B. degree. The next time we hear
from him, he will be filling some
high school principal's chair.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
Miss Hannah Sherman
Hannah will do her first real
missionary work next year when she
opens the little schoolhouse in the
mountains about four miles from
her home. The first few years she
will not be satisfied with her work,
but after a few more years she will
not want to leave her pupils. In
fact she will be a second Nealie
Wampler. (She has not taught
school all her life. She is now liv-
ing in Maryland just across the
Pennsylvania line. She is a splendid
leader of the Farm Women's Asso-
ciation in that section of the coun-
try.)
Mr. Ephraim Hertzler
Next year Mr. Hertzler will teach
Physics, Chemistry and Biology in
Elizabethtown High School. His
work will prove so satisfactory that
they will want him to sign a con-
tract for several more years. After
two years' work at Bethany Bible
School he will get his B. D. degree,
after which we will find him in the
mountains of Virginia where,
through his wonderfully helpful
sermons and his ability as a leader,
he will be able to lead many souls
to Christ.
Miss Mabel Bomberger
Mabel will stay on College Hill
for the next four years. She will be-
gin work on the A. B. Course next
year. She is likely to take the
course in education but will special-
ize in music. After she has finished
the course here she will enter the
Peabody Conservatory of Music.
She will answer the call from Eliza-
bethtown and will be one of the
most successful teachers E. C. has
ever had on its list.
Miss Minnie Myer
Minnie will enter the schoolroom
in some rural district next year. The
next three years she will teach in
the town schools at Ephrata. She
will be offered the principalship of
the home high school, but be-
cause the girl has not seen the need
of a full College Course she cannot
accept the offer. This will spur her
on to finish the A. B. Course in Edu-
cation. She will take this course at
E. C. After she has taken this
course she will take the principal-
ship at the Leola High School.
Nathan G. Meyer
It is difficult to tell the future of
a prophet. They are likely to do so
many different things. Next year
we expect to hear from him as a
successful teacher in one of the
York County High Schools. After
teaching here a few years he will go
to Elizabethtown as the assistant
principal of the Academic Depart-
ment. After faithfully doing his
duty here, he will go to Columbia
University where he will get his Ph.
D. He will come back to Elizabeth-
town as one of the greatest Relig-
ious Education teachers College Hill
fias ever known.
Lillian Becker
It is extremely difficult to tell the
future of a member of the class who
has been with us such a short time.
Next year we are going to hear of
her success as a teacher in on? of
the rural schools of Lancaster
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
17
County. She will be interested in
rural school work, but she will final-
ly accept the position of Assistant
High School Principal in her com-
munity. Some day she will finish
the A. B. Course in Education and
will then take the principal's chair.
Stanley Ober
Next year Stanley will teach in
the sixth grade of the town school.
He thinks he will stay only one year
but the school officials will persuade
him to stay three years because of
his master ability as a teacher. Be-
cause he feels the need of more edu-
cation to do satisfactory work, he
will decide to go back to E. C. for
his A. B. degree. After this course
is finished he will become principal
of the Elizabethtown High School.
He will stay here five years. Aside
from his regular school work, he
will be an active church and Sunday
School worker in his home district.
His name will also appear in the
headlines of our local newspapers
as one of the great social workers
of our county. (If we had more
social workers who would preach
social purity with the enthusiasm
that Stanley does, our nation could
tell a different story.)

PROPHECY
The unique class of '22 has thot
it feasible at this time to have us
read and interpret select verses
from the prophetic pages of the
Etonian (the first year book of our
College.) The part I shall select re-
fers directly to the tribe of Ephraim
Much of this prophecy has already
been fulfilled while more remains
to come to pass.
To whom it may interest thus say-
eth the prophet. There shall come
forth out of the land of Lancaster
County a versatile, agreeable and
joyous woman. She will complete
her work for the B. D. degree at
Bethany Bible School, after which
she will serve as editor of a religious
paper and also as supervisor of a
mission school. (I presume the pro-
phet of old had in mind a personal-
ity whom we know to-day as Anna
Wolgemuth.)
Among the cedars of Lebanon
shall thrive a business man of no
mean character — one who shall in
a masterly way do his part in bring-
ing capital and labor into a glorious
harmony. Where other men see
failure he will see success. (Un-
doubtedly this will be fulfilled by
our calm Vice President, Elias G.
Edris, Jr.)
A certain little industrious lady
after finishing the Junior College
Course on Mount College Hill will
find her way back to teach the
fourth and fifth grades in Pleasant
Hill school, among the sunny hills
and peaceful vales of Lebanon
County. (Possibly this will be re-
alized in the person of Elizabeth
Kreider.)
18
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
In the garden spot of the world
will spring up a witty, inventive
business genius. He will be a pro-
blem to discipline in his school car-
eer. After leaving Mount College
Hill he will surprise his Alma Mater
by establishing and directing a large
wireless manufacturing concern in
Lititz. (This verse of phophetic
truth speaks the future of Pierce
Brandt.)
There dwelleth in the city of Le-
banon a sincere, studious and mod-
est virgin who will take her major
work for the M. A. degree in Reli-
gious Education at Boston Seminary.
She will teach a number of years in
the States, after which she will sail
as a foreign missionary to propagate
a practical religion. (These words
of the sage bespeak a big future for
Stella Walker, one of our Commen-
cement orators.)
And as they will be sojourning
in the Land of Promise ; i. e., Mount
College Hill to Sugar Valley —
which is a Sabbath day's journey —
a genial and boon companion will
say to her, "Will you say yes to my
next question?" And she with her
wonderful language powers and her
keen sense of perceiving abstract
ideas will answer sweetly, "Yes,
thank you". (I must confess that
the prophet is not easily understood.
Different commentators differ, but
the general concensus of opinion is
that this has reference to one of the
chief and able writers of the Eton-
ian— Supera Martz.)
And there shall come to live on
Mount College Hill an aggressive
social engineer and evangelist who
will, after years of testing exper-
ience, find his way to a large city
mission where he will be pastor and
a strong social purity worker among
the young people.
(Upon a moments reflection we
think of a young man characterized
by audacity and "pep" — Jesse Re-
ber.)
From the beautiful hills of Frank-
lin County will come a woman, nob-
ly planned. She will be a leader of
many organizations of the fairer
sex. She will serve as principal of
a kindergarten of an urban school.
(Judging from the historical setting,
1922 A. D., we believe these words
foretell something of the life plan
of Margaret Oellig.)
Now in those days there will be
deacons appointed. And one of
these shall come to Mount College
Hill to study at the feet of Gamaliel
(sometimes known as Irvin Hoffer).
After leaving Mount College Hill,
versed in science, philosophy and
theology, this man of good report
will prove a help to needy people.
(The tribe of Ephraim has but one
deacon — the prophet 'must have
thot of Wm. Willoughby.)
There will be two young men who
after living a number of years on
Mount College Hill and studying
faithfully will complete their work
for the B. A. degree. They will
teach in the grades a number of
years, after which they will special-
ize in music. And it shall come to
pass that among the maples of
Mount College Hill will echo and re-
echo the piano chimes and baritone
voices produced by these lovers of
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
19
music. (Friends — these men un-
doubtedly belong to the tribe of
Ephraim and most likely are two of
our preparatory graduates. Lester
Royer and Jephthah, sometimes
known as John Bechtel.)
In those days there will be a de-
bate concerning the open shop. One
of these debaters will be a woman
of letters. Her success will largely
be due to the traits inherited from
her father — an historian. Later
this precocious girl will serve as
language teacher and coach of de-
bating teams in a large college.
(When we review the events of the
past school year we see part of this
verse fulfilled in the personage of
Miss Lois Falkenstein.)
In the latter days young men
shall dream dreams and see visions.
One of these men after having pro-
cured much wisdom and knowledge
on Mount College Hill will teach a
few years in the States, after which
his dreams will be realized in land-
ing a position on the Hawaian Is-
lands as government teacher and
supervisor. (When we think of
dreams we at once think of Joseph
of old, but this verse of Etonian
prophecy has reference to our Lititz-
ite — Enos Weaver.)
There will be an Ephraimite who
with her cheerfulness, sincerity of
purpose, and teaching ability will
serve as a worthy member of the
elders of Jacob or Israel (sometimes
known as College Faculty). She
will realize her ambition — Mission-
ary to S. A. — in the face of adversi-
ty. Every Barr will prevent her
from taking the wrong course in
life. (The prophet leaves very
little room for speculation. He re-
fers directly to a Pedagogical sen-
ior— Elsie May Landis.)
Thus we see, from these verses of
prophetic writ, that the Ephraim-
ites will do their part in helping
their Alma Mater to make the world
safe for Christian Education. They
will look down thru the vista of
time with eager eyes and will see
appearing on College Hill a large
gymnasium, a fine dining hall, a
spacious auditorium, a boys' dormi-
tory, more faculty cottages, a stu-
dent body of not less than six hun-
dred, a faculty of scholastic caliber,
second to none in the educational
world.
The Ephraimites will count it a
privilege to help to realize these
dreams. To every S. O. S. call sent
by their Alma Mater to them, the
prophet predicts with certainty a
willing and hearty response.

THE HOME-COMING MEETING
OF THE VOLUNTEERS
This meeting was held on the
campus June 7, at 6:30 P. M. The
purpose of the meeting was to greet
the Volunteers who were on the Hill
before, and also to say farewell to
those who were leaving E. C.
The meeting was conducted by C.
H. Royer. A report was given of the
work done by the Band during the
past year, and also the outlook for
the coming year.
Professors Meyer and Byer each
gave the Band an inspiring talk and
encouraged them in their efforts.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
The More Abundant Life
Every human life has its beginn-
ing in the solitary confines of a
fleshly maternal house. After
months of solicitude and tender nur-
ture that life is ushered into the
arena of a new world, like a newly
unfolded blossom smiling for the
first time upon the wide expanse of
its desert home. This advent re-
minds us of a new ship from an eter-
nal shore, now embarked upon the
ocean of life, moving steadily to-
ward its last eternal destiny. Birth
is the introduction of a life of un-
told possibilities to a new world of
limitless opportunities, — opportuni-
ties which, if used, will steer life's
bark to the shores of eternal hap-
piness; opportunities which, if abus-
ed, will send a life down across the
span of time and space into the
eternal abpss.
This new life, — now abreast the
wings of time, — experiences a two-
fold growth in physical and mental
habits, until the child comes to the
parting of the ways. Then begins
his choice between right and wrong;
and the third, or moral, side of his
nature strikes root in virgin soil.
But the beauty and symmetry of this
threefold development is condit-
ioned by the richness of the racial
and hereditary soil; the virility of
the seeds of childhood habits; the
soundness of his early training ; and
the purity of the moral and social
atmosphere, such as he breathes day
in and day out, early and late, at
home and abroad. In proportion
to all of these will the child grow an
abundant life ever reaching out to-
ward a greater abundance of free-
dom and power.
To this abundant life men and wo-
men must make their first contribu-
tion in "right living" such as will pro
mise to their offspring their rightful
heritage — that of being well born.
Their social contribution must con-
sist in wise guidance and in the cre-
ation of that atmosphere which will
foster the ideal of peaceful and har-
monious "living together," — illus-
trated first in the home, then in the
larger family of school, church, and
state, — to be fulfilled finally in the
realization of peaceful international
relations.
To this abundant life books and
men must reveal their treasures of
the past, to be interpreted in the
light of the present and the future.
The great book of Nature must
make its contribution from her rich
store of flower and insect, as well
as of her laws of beauty, force, and
harmony.' Art must create ideals
and sentiments through apprecia-
tion for the best in music, literature
and painting. Even the heavens
must declare the glory of God; and
the Bible, the greatest book of all,
must show forth God's truth, if
young life is to grow and to grow
abundantly. Why all this breadth
of vision? Merely to make a living?
No, hot alone to make a comfortable
living with a more comfortable sur-
plus; but to help interpret the mean-
ing of life, so as to live in harmony
with the laws of the universe and of
God. He who in the love of truth
can hold communion with her vis-
ible forms, and can interpret the
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
21
beauty and design of the least of
God's creation to mean a manifold
greater purpose in the threefold na-
ture of man will live with his feet
on the ground but with his eyes up-
turned toward God and toward his
fellowman.
But however abundant this three-
fold life may be, there comes a time,
sooner or later, when man's moral
growth is arrested. He is beset on
every hand by misapprehension and
fear. His efforts to live up to the
morally best have failed, and he
smiles upon his breast in acknowl-
edgment of his sin and helplessness.
In his distress and worry he comes
finally to the foot of the Cross; and
there in humble submission he hears
the voice of Him who said; "I am
come that ye might have life and
that ye might have it more abun-
dantly." He takes new hope; new
life wells up in his breast. He sees
a Savior who died for his sins, who
arose for his justification; and who
lived the abundant life perfectly
that he might have life and have it
more abundantly.
Christ becomes his living ideal;
and life is now dominated by a great
purpose which that ideal inspires.
The Spirit of the Christ now becomes
the great moral and spiritual force
in his life, and all his knowledge
of men and of the world is energized
and directed by that force. He has
been born again in that now he has
not life merely which is physical ;
not mere mental power; not mere
moral integrity; but a vital spiritual
force which dominates them all.
Such is the more abundant life, — a
threefold life dominated and con-
trolled by a spiritual ideal.
A son of God, and joint heir
with Christ, he now lives to the
glory of God. His horizon enlarges
and he understands the fatherhood
of God to embrace the brotherhood
of man; and as a brother to man. —
with race prejudice and class lines
disappearing at the Cross, — he min-
isters to all alike in the name of a
crucified, but risen Lord.
In the light of God's mercy, he
now sees virtues where once he saw
only faults in his fellowmen ; and
he laments the fact that too long he
had missed the roses in his attempt
to pluck the thorns.
Love becomes the dominant note
in his life, while humility character-
izes every action. His devotion to
his purpose sends him forth aspii'ing
to the triT? and the beautiful, while
ethers stop by the wayside to de-
vour the husks and to wallow in the
mire of lust and greed.
He stoops on the Jericho road to
«erve another's need while o rers
ride by in luxury with sympathies
untouched.
To be more abundant, life, with
all its imperfections and denials. —
must mean a gradual ascent irom
glery to glory, from peak to peak,
toward the summit of that perfect
character revealed in Christ Jesus.
The transition in death then will
moan that life continued in the great
beyoncL — life more and m;>re abun-
dant, lived in the eternifv of God's
presence and in the fui less of His
glory.
The time 1 as come when we must
say farewell to all that is dear on

To you, the trustees of our Col-

sons and daughters have made pos-
sible for us these years in Elizabeth-
town College, to you we say fare-

Our worthy President, and mem-
bers of the lac ulty, you who have
labored so faithfully in our behalf,
Avhose inspiration and help have
meant more to us than you can now
know or than words can tell, we bid
you a fond farewell. We shall ever
strive toward the ideals you have
inspired and long cherish the mem-
ories of your friendly counsel.
Members of the Junior Class, and
fellow students, soon we to© must
part, but we shall long renembcr
the pleasant hours spent together
here. We trust our associations
have been mutually helpful, and we
bespeak for you noble aspiratiors
and true success in your future work.
To you we say farewell.
Classmates, together we have lab-
ored long and hard; we have lo^.g
shared our triumphs and defeats;
but we too must part, — each to fol-
low his own path of duty. As we
journey on our paths will diverge
farther and farther from this single
path which we have followed thus
far together. In whatever field
those paths may lie, and whatever
hardships we may encounter, may
each of us show our loyalty to our
Alma Mater by making real her
ideals; and may these ideals ever
inspire us to lives of greater ser-
vice ; service rendered to the Glory
of God. To you all a last and fond
farewell.

After the commencement exer-
cises were over and all were re-
freshed, we heard interesting nois-
es on the baseball diamond. Soon
many friends and students gather-
ed to see the boys in gray and blue
playing baseball against the Alum-
ni. It was an interesting game, the
ball going from one end of the field
to the other, neither side having an
advantage. The score being tie most
of the time, it was hard to decide
which side would leave the field
with honors. The final score was
10 to 9 in favor of the school. It
was very interesting to see the pro-
fessors trying to hit the ball and
make home runs.

COMMENCEMENT WEEK
The first number of the Com-
mencement Calendar was the Bac-
calaureate Sermon preached by
Professor J. G. Meyer, president of
the College. His text was "Cast
your bread upon the waters for you
shall find it after many days."
(Eccl. 11:1). He tried to impress
upon the minds of the class that the
only life worth living is a life of ser-
vice ; and that it is not so much the
big things in life, but the little deeds
of helpfulness we do daily, that
make a life successful.
On Monday evening the vocal
and instrumental music depart-
ments gave their program. The
Chapel and Commercial Hall were
filled with students and friends of
the College. The program was well
worth listening to.
In previous years Tuesday even-
ing of Commencement week usually
was given to the Commercial De-
partment for their program. This
year the faculty saw fit to deviate
from the regular plan and schedul-
ed an Educational-Program for the
evening, with Professor Omwake
of Ursinus College as the main
speaker. On Tuesday morning Pro-
fessor Meyer received a telegram
stating that Professor Omwake was
suddenly taken ill and could not
serve on the program. Professor
Conover from the State Department
of Education at Harrisburg filled
his place.
Professor Conover discussed the
whole plan which Dr. Finnegan is
trying to put across. He says there
are five steps in the plan. The first
step is Consolidated Schools, where
every pupil, whether city or country
bred, has an equal opportunity to
get a thorough education in the
fundamentals. The second step is
Continuation Schools. These are
necessary to give those a chance to
get an education who must work to
support themselves. The third step
is compulsory School Attendance.
Nothing breaks up a teacher's plans
more than to have pupils come into
the classroom a month or six weeks
late in the fall and leave several
weeks before school closes. The
last two steps in the plan are Health
Education and Better Trained
Teachers.
We are sure if Dr. Finnegan
works his plans, in a few years we
will have a school system in our
state of which we can justly be
proud.

OUR COLLEGE TIMES
Wednesday noon all class work
was brought to a close. At two o'-
clock the Class Day exercises were
given. The president of the class
gave the address of welcome. The
different features of the program
were music, pantomime, history,
prophecy, and presentation speech.
The Chapel and Commercial Hall
were crowded with friends of the
graduates and patrons of the Col-
lege.
Almost immediately after the
program the Alumni Banquet was
served to the Alumni of the school
in the dining room. After refresh-
ments were served, a number of
toasts were given in response to the
request of the toast-master, Profess-
or R. W. Schlosser.
At 7:30 P. M. the Alumni gave
their public program. Miss Hattie
Eberly favored the audience with
several piano solos. Mr. Paul Engle
sang several vocal solos. The speak-
er for the evening was Rev. George
Capetanios, a member of the class
of 1916.
On Commencement morning par-
ents and friends of the graduating
class and patrons of the College
came early and soon had all the
seating space filled in Commercial
Hall and the Chapel. At 9:00 A. M.
the faculty, trustees, and graduat-
es marched into the Chapel. The
address of welcome and oration,
"The Aristocracy of Achievement,"
was given by Miss Alta Nunemaker.
Stella Walker delivered an oration
entitled "The Eternal Conflict". Mr.
Ephraim Hertzler, president of the
class, gave the third oration, "De-
mocracy and Minorities". The
valedictory oration, "The More A-
bundant Life", was given by Miss
Anna Wolgemuth.
Dr. Edgar Fahs Smith, Provost
Emeritus of the University of Penn-
sylvania, delivered the commence-
ment address to the graduates.
At the last meeting of the Y. W.
W. A. the following officers were
elected:
President — Mildred Baer.
Vice President — Anna Heefner.
Secretary — Kathryn Zug.
Treasurer — Esther Trimmer.
On Tuesday morning, June 6, Mr.
and Mrs. Amsey Bollinger paid a
short visit to College Hill. Mrs.
Bollinger was formerly known as
Miss Florence Moyer. She was one
of the members of the faculty last
year, teacher of sewing and domes-
tic science.
The largest Summer School ever
known on College Hill is now in ses-
sion. Many teachers from town and
the surrounding country are enroll-
ed. The total enrollment approach-
es very closely the 100 mark.
Among the Alumni enrolled as
Summer School students are Mae
Dulebohn, '06, Paul Schwenk, '20,
Clarence Sollenberger, '20, Laura
Moyer, '21, Stanley H. Ober, '22,

BACCALAUREATE SERMON

Extracts
Eccl. 11:1 — "Cast thy bread up-
on the waters; for thou shalt find it
after many days."
These are the words of wisdom.
They are words of council and ad-
monition. They are a challenge to
one's faith. And as long as God re-
mains God they are true, so long
good deeds are immortal and the
compensation certain.
We have in these words a picture
of sowing rice and other grain from
a boat during flood time. The hus-
bandman pushes his frail bark from
the embanked village to cast the
grain, he would gladly eat, on the
surface of the flood, — a type of
Christian labor and service.
We have in this text :
I. The principle of Charity.
II. The principle of Industry.
III. The principle of Compensa-
tion.
The three thoughts we present:
1. Giving we bless and are bless-
ed.
2. Working we thrive and cause
to thrive.
3. Spending we gain and regain.
The college education that does
not emphasize greater sacrifice,
greater industry, and greater faith
and trust in God for the final out-
come of a life of sacrifice and ser-
vice is not worthy of the name, nor
time, nor money, nor effort.
I. The Principle of Charity and
Sacrifice
Charity is twice blessed. (1) It
blesses him that gives, even though
he casts his bread upon thankless
waters, hoping for nothing, soon to
be forgotten, never to be returned.
If no one else should be better off,
for such charity, he shall be better
off, his temper more generous,
his life richer and his soul sweeter.
(2) It blesses him that takes. The
world of men and things is better
for acts of kindness no matter what
the sacrifice, however thankless the
act may seem. What a desert life
is for the ministry of charity. Many
parts of the world are down, — Ar-
menia is down, bleeding and half
dead. Germany is down. Belgium
is down. Austria is down, France
is down, Russia is down. Italy is
down. Asia, Africa and South
America are in heathen darkness.
Will the members of this class ac-
cept the challenge and cast their
bread upon the waters?
God has endowed man with won-
drous power to transform the des-
ert into an oasis so it may blossom
as a rose. Cast thy bread upon the
waters. God has given us bread to
feed the poor. God has given us
money to build hospitals and schools
and colleges. God has given us in-
ventive genius to search out well-
springs and smite rocks into living
water. God has given us reason to
carry fertility where ignorance and
fear and superstition work desola-
26
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
tion. God has given us wit and
imagination to produce perpetual
joy and gladness. God has given
us love to transform dark continents
and to hive sweetness like honey-
combs. Man makes his own world
and the world of others by what he
gives.
In Oliver Twist, Dickens shows
how the sweet girlhood of a certain
Christian girl came in touch with the
soiled soul of sinning Nancy. The
Christian girl so fully entered in
sympathy into the life of the sinning
Nancy that she broke down and
cried aloud, saying, "If there were
more like you there would be fewer
like me." William of Orange, it is
said, projected his life in sympathy
and so completely entered into fel-
lowship with the discouraged and
the downcast that when he died the
children in the streets cried aloud.
May the members of this year's
class cast their bread upon the wat-
ers in order to make living easier
and smoother for others. May they
find joy in oiling the machinery of
the home, the school, the church,
the market, the street.
II. The Principle of Industry
Wrecked off the coast of Ireland
there lay a vessel. The disaster
happened on a calm, clear night.
Men wondered what caused the
wreck. Upon thorough investiga-
tion it was found that one of the
sailors, in trying to clean the com-
pass box, clipped off a bit of steel
from his knife blade, which deflect-
ed the needle and wrecked the ves-
sel. May no selfish ambition deflect
us in the choice of a vocation but
may the needle of God's guidance
settle along the clear line of the dir-
ection of His will. Having found our
vocation, other things being equal,
industry is a virtue and makes for
growth and a richer life.
My arm responds to exercise no
less than does my soul. Industry is
the handmaiden of religion. Even
a book does not open to me of its
own accord. It does not read itself
to me. Honest toil and sincere
effort are the price we must pay to
open the closed books of life.
Four men landed on a fertile
tropical island. One said "How
beautiful", the second "How rich",
the third, "How wonderful", the
fourth sailed away with the crew
and said nothing. To him the is-
land was a closed book. A year la-
ter he returned to see how the men
were getting along. He found the
one had written a poem, the second
had built a large barn and the third
had collected a large museum. The
first three of these four men have
made a contribution to the world.
The fourth is still sailing as a sailor
over the seas trying to find an open
book.
III. The Principle of Compensation
This is a universal principle. It
operates in business, in education,
in the social life, in religion. Put
time, money, energy, brains, com-
mon sense in your occupation and
you will get large returns. Put en-
thusiasm, effort, perseverance in
your studies and you will become
versatile. Put charm, personality,
sympathy, consideration and hearty
kindness into your social relations
OUR COLLEGE TIMES
27
and you will get in return affection
and devotion. Give God a flickering
aspiration and he will give thee
balm for the bruised reed and flame
for the smoking flax. Give Him the
publican's prayer and he will give
thee mercy like the wideness of the
sea. Every act of charity, every
noble effort put forth, every aspira-
tion to holiness is fully and richly
compensated. Give God thy life
and He will compensate with eter-
nal life, give thyself to God and He
will give Himself to thee. Cast thy
"bread" — thy time, thy talents, thy
enthusiasm, thy money, thy best,
thy very self, — upon the waters
and thou shalt find it. Share thy
crust and cloak and thou shalt have
banquet and robe and house of
many mansions. Cast thy bread up-
on the waters with implicit faith in
God and thou shalt find it after
many days. You, members of the
class of 1922, are the latest product
of this College with a large tradition
and high ideals of sacrifice and ser-
vice. As you leave these halls and
the fostering care and concern of
your teachers, may your motto,
"Gradatim", ever be a motivating
force urging you to cast your bread
upon the waters for you shall find
it after many days. J. G. Meyer
The Class of 1912 consisted of
fifteen members. One of these,
William K. Kulp, then of Ephrata,
Pa., completed the English Bible
Course. He was married to Miss
Alma Hoffman of Elizabethtown,
Pa., and served in the ministry at
Mechanicsburg for some time. Lat-
er he took up pastoral work . The
Kulp family is now engaged in pas-
toral work at Rockwood, Pa.
Two of the class of ten years ago
are still closely connected with the
College. Professor H. H. Nye, who
was a Pedagogical Senior in 1912,
is Teacher of History and Social
Science at the College. Mamie
Keller Leiter, also a Pedagogical
Senior, is the wife of Professor L. W.
Leiter, Registrar of the College and
Teacher of Biology.
Four members of this class com-
pleted the English Scientific Course.
