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. 
We  pay  4%  interest  on  Certificates   of   Deposit   and   Savings 
Account  Balances.

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.

"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

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

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 


17 


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.

study  his  Greek  lesson:  "Let  us  go

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

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.

OUR  COLLEGE  TIMES 


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 
Sedan. 


Professor  and  Mrs.  Hoffer  are 
the  proud  parents  of  Floy  C.  Hoffer 
who  is  engaged  almost  night  and 
day  in  aiding  Dorothy  Elizabeth 
Baugher  entertain  the  occupants  of 
the  "Fairview  Apartments." 


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 
Helen,  here  is  your  ad  in  the

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

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- 
vice in  the  various  activities  of  life's 
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)  ;

We  regret  that  Prof.  J.  I.  Baugh- 
er  is  not  yet  able  to  resume  his  reg-

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.

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-

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-

ber  of  years  he  has  lived  in  the  vi- 
cinity of  New  York,  where  he  was 
at  first  connected  with  the  Brooklyn 
Church  of  the  Brethren  and  attend- 


he  enrolled  in  Columbia  University, 
receiving  the  A.  B.  and  A.  M.  de- 
grees, and  he  now  fills  the  chair  of 
English     in      Montclair     Academy, 


ed  Dr.  White's  Bible  School.     Later     Montclair.  New  Jersey.

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-

OUR  COLLEGE  TIMES 


ies  were  as  follows :  Seniors — E. 
Eshleman  c,  Edris  and  D.  Myers  p; 
School — Trimmer  c,  Sollenberger 
p. 


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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Prof.  Hoffer — "How  do  you  draw 
a  projection  to  a  plane?" 

Miss  Horst — "By  hanging  a  per-

all  a  mess." 

Miss  R.  Minnich  quickly — "I'm 
not."

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!

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.

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,

hope  to  have  responses  from  every 
student  publication  that  receives 
this  number.

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

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.

There  is  no  other  position  more 
noble  than  to  be  a  pioneer  for  God. 
We  need  men  to  launch  into  the  un-

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.

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-

in  that  city. 

W.  K.  Gish  and  family  are  located 
near  Alderson,  Alberta,  Canada. 
Their  nearest  town  is  nine  miles  dis-

him  I  missed  him  altogether,  and 
the  next  time  I  hit  him  in  the  same 
place.  After  that  I  threw  him  from

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.

My  Bonnie 

My  bonnie  leaned  over  a  gas  tank 
The  height  of  the  contents  to  see ; 

He  lighted  a  match  to  assist  him— - 
O.  bring  back  my  bonnie  to  me. 


Slight    Error 

Mr.  Rose — "Did  you  see  that 
honey  bee  in  Prof.  Leiter's  Biology 
laboratory   the   other   day?" 

Miss  K. — "Honey  bee?  O,  I  guess 
you  mean  Willoughby." 


Sex — Middle  Sex 

As  a  Scotch  regiment  was  march- 
ing to  the  front  in  France,  a  French 
soldier  who  was  watching  them  said ; 
"They  can't  be  men  for  they  wear 
skirts,  and  they  can't  be  women  for 
they  have  mustaches."  "I  have  it," 
said  another,  "they're  the  famous 
Middlesex  regiment  from  London." 


"Categorically    Speaking" 

Consider  the  case  of  the  harmless 
necessary  cat.  It  is  no  stunt  at  any 
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 
up,  with  care,  and  not  so  much  as 
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. 


Not  Living  Up  To  Their  Names 

Bowman — Never  seen  with  a  bow. 

Babylon — Never  saw  the  Euph- 
rates. ••   • 

Brubaker — Never  made  brew, 
and  is  no  baker.    . 

Brightbill  —  Bright — but  minus 
bills. 

Good — Isn't  always  good. 

Hart — Have  a  heart! 

Keller  (German  for  cellar)  — 
Lives  on  3rd  floor. 

Ream — Not  made  of  paper. 

Strayer — Claims  she  never  went 
astray. 

Winters — Who  has  a  sunny  dis- 
position. 

Wagner — Who  never  made  wag- 
ons. 

Warner — Who  never  warns  us  a- 
bout  the  dining  room. 

Whistler — Who  warbles. 

Grimm — Who  never  wrote  Fairy 
Tales. 

Harshman — Not  so  harsh  as  he'd 
have  us  think. 

Longenecker — Who  never  invests 
in  high  collars. 

Frye — Who  cannot  cook.

ftbanks$ivina 


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.

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.

"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.

There  would  be  no  home  to  visit  and  no

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

Just   sit   down   and  write   a  letter—it  will

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

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.

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, 
which  was  now  ragine-,  almost 
blinded  the  poor  man's  eyes:  but 
his  heart  was  light  and  his  arms  so 
full  oi  nice  things  that  ha  could 
scarcely  carry  them  all. 


Princes  and  lords  are  but  the  breath 
of  kings,

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,

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

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.

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 

end. 
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. — 

Chapel  Talk  by  Chauncey  Sham-

Gems  from  Dr.  Bradley's  Speech: 
"The  United  States  of  To-Morrow." 

What  we  wish  to  believe  does 
not  change  the  truth. 

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. 

Men  have  tried  war,  arbitration, 
and  what  not,  but  at  last  they 
awoke  to  that  rule  :  "Do  unto  others 
as  you  would  have  them  do  unto 
you." — Report  given  by  Witmer 
Eshleman.

See  how  from  far  upon  the  Eastern  roads 
The  star-led  Wisards  haste  with  odours  sweet! 
Oh  I  run;  prevent  them  with  thy  humble  ode,

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.

Decked  out  in  modern  guise, 
Don't  frown   and  call  the   thing  a

English  As  It  Sounds. 

Here  is  a  singular  incident  show- 
ing how  easy  it  is  to  mistranslate  an 
overheard  remark. 

Said:  Mrs.  A.,  one  of  the  over- 
hearers,  "They  must  have  been  to 
the  zoo,  because  I  heard  her  men- 
tion a  trained  deer." 

"No,  no"  said  Mrs.  B.,  "They 
were  talking  about  going  away  and 
she  said  to  him,  'Find  out  about  the 
train,  dear'  ". 

"I  think  you  are  both  wrong," 
said  Mrs.  C.  "It  seemed  to  me  they 
were  discussing  music  for  she  said 
'A  trained  ear',  very  distinctly." 

A  few  minutes  later  the  lady 
herself  appeared  and  they  told  her 
of  their  argument. 

"Well,  that  certainly  is  funny," 
said  she.  "You  are  poor  guessers. 
The  fact  is,  I  was  asking  my  hus- 
band if  it  rained  here  last  evening."

OUR  COLLEGE  TIMES 


More  things  have  been  wrought 
by  smiles  than  this  world  dreams  of. 


We  may  now  remove  the  screens 
from  our  windows  and  put  the 
house  flies  at  liberty.

Cape   Fear Thirty 

Cape    Farewell Forty. 


One  good  action  is  worth  a  hun- 
dred good  intentions. 


"Do  you  know  where  the  little 
boys  go  who  don't  put  their  Sunday 
School  money  in  the  plate?" 

"Yes'm— to  the  movies." 


O  Ye  Book  Borrowers. 

'  According  to  the  Boston  Herald 
a  man  put  on  his  book  plates  this 
quotation  from  Sir  Walter  Scott.- 
"And  please  return  it!  For  I  find 
that,  although  most  of  my  friends 
are  poor  mathematicians,  they  are 
good  bookkeepers." 


Probable    Use    For   Our   Dumbbells. 

Scout  Master,  examining  scout  in 
'safety     first'  work— "What     would 
you  do  supposing  a  deaf  and  dumb 
asylum  were  burning?" 
Smart     Scout—Ring     the      dumbell 

Boy's  Life. 


Suggested  New  Year  Resolutions. 

Mr.  Sollenberger— To  teach  my 
Friday     evening  class  individually. 

Mr.  Sherman-To  devote  all  holi- 
day seasons  to  chauffering. 

Profs.  Meyer  and  Nye— To  assign

For  you     may  skies     be  bright  and 
clear; 
That  usher  in  the  glad  New  Year.

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. 
We  pay  4%  interest  on  Certificates   of  Deposit  and   Savings

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."

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

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.

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.

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.

Sacrifice  for  Christ  is  only  giving

Life  is  just  a  matter  of  selection;

Knowing  that  you're  doing  the 
good  which  no  one  else  could  do  is 
your  greatest  compensation.

A  call  for  Christian  Service  in

need.

Chapel   Echoes 

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 
the  water,  and  is  saved  only  by 
clinging  to  the  rock:  in  like  manner

only  by  clinging  to  Jesus  Christ,  the 
solid  rock. 


Resolutions 


Whereas  God  in  His  Infinite  wis- 
dom has  called  from  family  and 
friends,  Wm.  E.  Wilhoughby,  the 
father  of  our  fellow  student  and 
friend,  and  has  thereby  broken  the 
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. 
and  Mrs.  W.  A.  Willoughby  and 
to  the  rest  of  the  family,  in  their 
sorrow,  and  that  we  commend  them 
to  the  healing  grace  and  peace  of 
the  Heavenly  Father,  Who  alone  can 
satisfy  our  needs  and  more  abund- 
antly supply  wisdom  and  counsel. 

2.  A  copy  of  these  resolutions 
be  sent  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Willoughby 
and  to  the  other  members  of  the 
family,  and  that  they  be  spread  on 
the  minutes  of  the  faculty,  and  be 
published  in  Our  College  Times.

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-

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

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.

pleting this  course,  she  practiced 
very  successfully  in  this  profession 
for  some  time.  She  has  for  several 
years  past  been  known  as  Mrs.  Bor-

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.

"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?"

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. 
We  pay  4%  interest  on  Certificates   of   Deposit  and  Savings

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

§  GETTING     SOMEWHERE 

g  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. 


o 


Tho  you  save  but  small  amounts 
'Tis   REGULARITY  that  counts. 
We  pay  4%  interest  on  Certificates   of  Deposit  and  Savings

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.

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.

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."

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.

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- 
stitution is  one  of  the  most  complete 
literary  society  constitutions  that 
can   be  found. 


Mr.  L.  M.  Miller,  State  Student 
Secretary  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  re-

gave  the  gentleman  an  interesting 
address,  and  also  spoke  to  the  entire 
student  body  in  the  chapel. 


Our  Student  Government  has

for   offense;    also    methods   of   pro- 
cedure for  enforcing  said  rules. 


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 
Course.  Crawford  Adams  played 
the  violin,  Mr.  LaPierre  presided  at 
the  piano,  and  Miss  Wilkins  delight- 
ed the  audience  with  her  readings. 


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- 
brated the  close  of  its  first  year's 
work  and  ushered  in  the  beginning 
of  another  year  of  usefulness  among 
the  lady  students.  Pres.  J.  G.  Mey- 
er gave  the  anniversary  address,  us- 
ing as  his  subject  "The  Girl  at  Col-

Colorado.  One  gram  of  radium 
can  be  produced  from  two  hundred 
and  fifty  tons  of  the  ore,  but  over 
half  a  million  watches  can  be  lighted 
up  with  the  luminous  material  made 
from  that  one  gram.

There  is  a  plan  for  each  individu- 
al life.  If  we  forget  to  take  Jehovah 
into  that  plan,  it  will  be  a  failure.

Just  as  great  as  God  is  to  us,  so 
much  honor  and  reverence  we  will 
pay  to  Him.  If  we  cannot  appreci- 
ate the  Fatherhood  of  God, — His 
love,  mercy  and  goodness, — He  does 
not  mean  much  to  us.  All  these  go 
hand  in  hand.

It  should  inspire  us  to  look  at  the 
moon  and  stars  for  God  has  or- 
dained them.  "The  heavens  de- 
clare the  glory  of  God  and  the  firm- 
ament   showeth     His    handiwork." 

Man  is  so  small  compared  with 
the  earth  that  he  would  not  be  seen 
with  the  most  compound  miscro- 
scope. 

The  Father  has  put  all  things  un- 
der man's  feet,  but  man  sometimes 
lets  things  g^t  cm  top  of  him. 

"What  is  man  than  Thou  art 
mindful  of  him,  and  the  Son  of  mar. 
that  Thou  visitest  him?  It  is  impos- 
sible for  man  to  care  for  himself, 
but  God  is  willing  to  do  His  part.

Lot  had  great  economic  power 
but  when  he  left  Sodom  he  took 
nothing  but  his  life.  All  his  world- 
ly achievements  had  to  remain  be- 
hind. I.  S.  Hoffer. 


Paul  said,  "I  was  not  disobedient 
unto  the  heavenly  vision."  "I  for- 
get those  things  which  are  behind 
and  stretch  forth  to  those  things 
which   are  before." 


These  are  splendid  mottoes  for 
our  young  men  and  women  to-day. 
We  should  know  how  to  forget  past 
slights,  defeats,  and  even  successes. 
The  reason  so  many  are  held  down 
is  because  they  go  on  thinking 
about  their  successes  in  the  past. 

God  made  us  and"  breathed  into 
us  the  breath  of  life.  We  will  never 
be  successful  in  life  unless  we  func- 
tion in  our  particular  specialty. 
If  we  don't  function  with  out  souls 
which  He  has  given  us,  we  are  mis- 
sing the  purpose  for  which  we  have 
been  created.  God  never  meant 
that  we  should  spend  our  time  in  ac- 
cumulating mud. 

Carlyle  says,  "God  takes  a  hand- 
ful of  mud  and  make  out  of  it 
rubies,  diamonds  and  precious  jew- 
els." What  then  would  God  do 
with  a  human  being  if  we  gave  Him 
the  opportunity? 

J.  S.  Noffsinger,  Brooklyn,  N.Y. 


The    Dynamic   of    Purpose 

Our  most  precious  possession  is 
our  life.  We  would  take  nothing 
in  exchange!  for  it.  We  do  not  be- 
lieve in  the  transmigration  of  souls; 
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

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-

The  College  Record,  Goshen,  Ind., 
comes  to  us  this  month  with  some 
strong  articles  in  the  literary  section 
and  with  well  balanced  editorials. 

The  Spectator,  McPherson  Col-

ers" the  various  college  activities 
with  a  proficiency  approaching 
that  of  a  metropolitan  daily.  Other 
college  weeklies  of  the  same  type 
and  standard  are  the  Ursinus  Week- 
ly, Collegeville,  Pa.,  and  the  Gettys- 
burgian,  Gettysburg  College,  Pa. 
For  several  issues  the  latter  has 
been  publishing  articles  by  "try- 
outs"  who  are  candidates  for  va- 
cancies on  the  staff  to  be  filled  near 
the     close     of  the   academic  year. 


This  is  a  splendid  system  of  merit 
to  find  the  best  talent  for  the  staff 
and  thus  maintain  high  standards 
of  college  journalism.

OUR  COLLEGE  TIMES 


It  is  indeed  gratifying  to  see  the 
progress   made   in   basket  ball   this 
year.    In  spite  of  some  warm  weath- 
er many  games  have  been  played, 
one  of  the  most  exciting  of  which 
was   that  played   between   the   Lit- 
erary and  the  Commercial  students. 
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:

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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."

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. 
We  pay  4%  interest  on  Certificates   of  Deposit  and  Savings

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-

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

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.

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.

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.

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,

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-

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- 
er, this  faithful  minister  of  the  Gos- 
pel, and  devout  Elder  in  the  Church 
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. 

Third,  That  a  copy  of  these  reso- 
lutions be  sent  to  the  bereaved  fam-

ulty Minutes,  and  that  they  be  pub-

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

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.

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,

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

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

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

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-

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  :

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."

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

o     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 

5     added  satisfaction  when  a  definite  sum  has  been  reached. 

§  Tho  you  save  but  small  amounts 

'Tis   REGULARITY  that   counts.

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.

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 
autumn  is,  an  ideal  place  for  nature 
lovers.

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

OUR  COLLEGE  TIMES 


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.

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 
they  laid  hir\ 

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. 


Teacher — "What  is  a  single  tax?" 
Mr.  Nolt — "Tax  for  the     people 
who  are  single." 


Miss  M.  Meyer — It  seems  that  ev- 
ery one  who  sits  next  to  me  drinks 
a  lot  of  water. 

Mr.  P.  Grubb — I  guess  that  is  be- 
cause you  are  so  dry. 


Miss  L.  Landis  was  heard  to  say : 
"Yes,  I  have  found  three  men  now 
but  I  get  so  provoked,  none  of  them 
get  serious  at  all." 


Mr.  Bucher  (rather  solemialy) 
"I  would  not  have  gone  with  the 
girls  if  I  had  not  come  to  the  hill, 
but  I  am  glad  that  I  came." 


Question — Where  can  Israel  Roy-

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


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.

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?"

The  Way  to  Win. 

Life  is  just  a  game  to  play, 

Play   it! 
When  you  have  a  thing  to  say, 

Say  it! 
Do  not  stammer  "if"  or  "but", 
Courage  takes  the  shortest  cut. 
When  your  task  is  hard  to  do 
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 ! 
Men  of  mettle  seldom  find 
What  they're  looking  for  behind, 
Fate  is  passing  down  the  street, 
Follow  him  with  nimble  feet.

OUR  COLLEGE  TIMES 


The  class  of  1910  had  eight  repre- 
sentatives of  the  Pecladogical

class  or  in  any  succeeding  one  until 
1920. 

Floy  Crouthamel,  as  she  was  then 
known,  was  one  of  the  pedagogical 
seniors  of  '10.  Some  years  later  she 
continued  her  school  work  at  Jun- 
iata College  where  she  completed 
her  college  work.  For  several 
years  she  served  our  college  very 
acceptably  as  teacher  and  precept- 
ress, and  again  as  preceptress  and 
librarian.  She  is  now  known  as  the

beth  Miller.  Mr.  Meyer  has  proved 
to  be  a  very  efficient  minister  of 
the  gospel  and  a  successful  evange- 
list. 

Walter  K.  Gish  has  been  farming 
on  a  large  scale  in  Alberta,  Canada, 
since  '12.  He  has  also  done  some 
teaching  in  that  section.  Mrs.  Gish, 
formerly  Miss  Mazie  Martin,  also 
a  former    E'town     student,     taught

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.

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. 
We  pay  4%  interest  on  Certificates   of  Deposit  and   Savings

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!

Good  resolutions  are  for  the

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

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

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.

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 


20 


OUR  COLLEGE  TIMES 


greatest  joy  and' times  of  deepest 
sorrow.  Sinner  and  saint  alike  come 
to  you  for  counsel  and  encourage- 
ment. Great  is  your  opportunity 
arid  tremendous  your  responsibility. 
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-

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.

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-

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.

OUR  COLLEGE  TIMES 


It  is  singular  that  the  Class  of 
1911  consisted  of  only  -  twenty-two 
members,  and  yet  represented  ten 
courses  of  study.

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.

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

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 :

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- 
ers. The  first  said  "My  father  can 
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."

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. 
We  pay  4%  interest  on  Certificates   of  Deposit  and  Savings

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

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!

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.

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

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.)

This  being  the  Commencement 
Number  of  our  "Times",  four  ora- 
tions should  appear  herein.  Owing

third  failed  to  arrive  in  time  for

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

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. 

Nathan  G.  Moyer. 


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

OUR  COLLEGE  TIMES 


College  Hill, — to  all  w-V)  have  so 
liberally  contributed  to  our  happi- 
ness and  well-being  during  these 
days  in  College. 

To  you,  the  trustees  of  our  Col- 
lege, whose  noble  endeavors  in  the 
past  and  whose  interest  and  con- 
cern for  the  mture  welf  ir-i  of  your 
sons  and  daughters  have  made  pos- 
sible for  us  these  years  in  Elizabeth- 
town  College,  to  you  we  say  fare- 
well. 

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. 

School — P.   D.   Myers  and   C.   H. 
Gingrich. 

Alumni — P.  Edris  and  C.  Smith.

Text  books  finished,  lessons  learned, 
Happy  school  days  are  no  more; 
But  the  honors  we  have  earned 
Point  to  others,  still  in  store. 


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, 
and  Lillian  Becker,  '22.

BACCALAUREATE    SERMON 

June  4,  1922 

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.
