SOME V TO LOVERS
REV F. A. MORGAN TALKS TO BETH
ANY YOUNG folks.
Miss BoteIer Gives Her Last Talk
and Departs-The Services at
Acton Yesterday.

Miss Boteler gave the last Of her talks
10 young people at Acton yesterday morn
ing. Her subject was Myself" She has
pleased the assembly so we'll that at the
close of her address a vote Of thanks was
passed for her work. and she was asked TO
combine her lectures into a volume and
publish them. Then as she left on the
early train they all came forward and
bade her goodbye.
AT 10 o'clock Prof. G.. P. Coler, OF Ann
Arbcr. talked on the subject of ''Bible
Chairs" He paid a tribute TO the c. W..
3. VI. organization and suggested the es-
Establishment Of a training school in con-
nection with the department. He gave a
description of the Bible work done at Ann
Arbor and then gave several reasons why
Bible chairs should be placed in UNIVERSE
ties. He said: I'VE should contribute our
part toward furnishing biblical training in
the State universities. 1t is a duty we owe
to our students. Then there is the iniu-
ence We exert on other Students; it en-
ables us to train specialists for teachers of
the Bible. 1t is one of the most effective
ways to do missionary work. and it helps
the pastor and the church; lastly. being
pioneers in the advocacy OF the Bible chair
idea. which is becoming popular. we should
secure the respective consideration of edu-
Gated men and women and of the friends
and of the press"
At IL o'clock Rev. F. A. Morgan, of Terre
Haute. delivered a humorous lecture on the
subject Of 1.-The Evolution Of a Lover By
way of Introduction he said he was glad
so many were present. 1t looked like an
indication of interest, and yet he knew that
often there was an interest I'm the subject
when only two were present. He said his
lecture included three classes-those who
were not engaged, those who were engaged
and those who were married. He described
the beginning of love in this manner:
Love begins TO evolve early because of the
love of the mother. then of the sister, and
at last the love goes out for some other
fellows sister. At first the young man in
love IS very awkward; he does not know
what to do with his feet; they are too
large; so are his hands. His arms are in
the way. After a while this blushing of his
being and thought of self is dropped out of
sight. He knows what to do with his feet
and his hands. and he knows just where to
put his arms. and even cries, oh, for a
thousand arms and the young maiden
says, Ditto"
II would advise no one to marry for good
looks; my wife says she didn't, but I don't
see why. / once knew Of a very sweet
young lady who said she was going to
marry either a President, or Senator. or
Governor. or college professor; time went
on and she got neither of these. nor did
she get a lawyer, broker or clerk, nor a
street celaner. an organ grinder or a hod
carrier. Finally, in a fit OF desperation.
she married a preacher, and is trying to be
happy now. About proposing. / would say

vantage in proposing in the daytime. You
can see what you are about. and then its
a long time until morning. However, TO
be safe. ask the girl. and If she says the
the second, l would say do not use the
same plan over too many times. If you
do. it will lose its freshness. Again: do
not propose to two girls at the same time;
for if both should accept, you would be in
a dilemma. And if both should reject
there would be a double disapp9intment,
river twice. and that would make added
danger of losing your life, As to the place.,
l think Bethany is all right.
1.-The question is often asked, at what age
to marry. There are some people 1 would
never advise to marry young; they might
have done so fifteen or twenty years ago.
but not now.
I'm regard to married life. I would say
that occasionally yield to the other. for
though 1t is said that after wedlock they
are one. you can't tell right away which
one it is: and the old couplet, a man con-
WINGED against his Will, Is of the same
opinion STILL has been fttingly revised as
follows: A man convinced by his wife
against his will. is of the same opinion still
mighty still
ideal wife, and the ideal son that makes
the ideal husband. In conclusion, let me
say. keep up your courtship after mar
cred for the want of the waters of love.
Let the caress and the kiss be as natural
as when you were lovers and sweethearts,
Toll yynr1r love and kiss Zach nrhar'G faor
away"
At 2:4O Mrs. o. A. Burgess. of Indian
apolis. spoke on the subject. Our Present
Needs and Future Outlook" The speaker
said the association never had better pros
poets than at present. Everything is In a
flourishing condition. She spoke of the
tanning se~venty-two members. Then she
told of the home-mission work the MEM
lie rs are doing establishing schools for the
poor white people of the South: giving as
sistance in Colorado, Oregon and in Califor-
MIA: at Portland they have a Chinese mis-
sion. with an educated Chinese at the head
of Ii. They are also working in Mexico.
And though appeals come TO them from In
dia and China and other far-away lands,
yet there is much TO be done right here at
home. The vastnes of the West is a great
field for missions. besides the crowded
cities.
