Ntl4 I4S i HUM L IA-NI 4 i NOAAA4tsNRiss
The revival meeting is progressing
with deep interest and much spiritual
good TO the entire community. Rev q.
r. Watson. who is conducting the ser
vices. has taken a strong grip on the
bows from the first. He is a clear,
forceful, earnest, consecrated speaker.
His manner is direct, and his appeals
searching There is evidence that a
great spiritual awakening is deep down
in the hearts of all. Up to Friday
night there were IL conversions. The
meeting will be carried over into next
week The success of the meeting Is
in no small degree due to the excel
lent moral condition of the student
body, This has been SO far the smooth
est year that the college has had in
long time There has been almost no
disciplining Of the boys on the part OF
the faculty. 1t is generally conceded
that the disappearance Of the old foot
ball ardor has had much to do with
this change. There is no congenial
place for rowdy boys among Trinity
students.
Prof. Dowd has an article in the
February number of The Advocate of
Peace. the organ of the American Peace
Society, Boston, on THE Doctrine of
Non-Interference." He alludes to the
growth Of international relations and
SAYS there is danger of too much nom
interference 1t is the duty of outside
nations to interfere to prevent injus-
tice between nations. 1.-THE day is not
far distant when nations that stand
off and permit war between other ma
tions win be looked upon with as much
contempt as is now visited upon in
dividuals who stand by with folded
arms while two of their feliow-men
are attempting to kill each other The
article closes by declaring that the
nations ought 10 take united steps to
provide for settling disputes between
nations. 1t is a strong piece in Prof
Dovd's best style
The literary work Of the college in
creases. a gentleman has just called
to your correspondents attention the
fact that IN one month recently three
members Of the college community re-
ceiyed checks for articles sent to
prominent publishers. One oil these
gentlemen has literary work promised
to publishers which it will take two
years to prepare. A rapid glance
shows that there are fifteen articles
