to convert men to use its influence
to bring men to Christ. The third
Eobject of the organization is to enlist
men, interest them in the work.
The last point brought out by the
speaker was the equipment Of men,
lgiving them the proner training in
order that, when they go out from
college, they may be ready and able
10 do Gods work. Mr.. Vaughan
then urged the Y. M. c. A. to send
as many delegates as possible to the
Summer School, to be held at the
University of Tennessee. Several Of
the boys intend to 60 to this school;
subscription was also taken up i'm or
der to send too members from the
association. The boys subscribed
freely and we feel sure that the mon-
ey will be raised.
We hear great deal said about
proper mental and moral training in
our College, but not many words are
said about physical exercise. AMI of
| the studelts with few exceptionsl
are strong; they come; in most part,
from the farming districts and have
| their frames strengthened by exercise
But on entering school they are
urged to their utmost to do, all the
mental work they can. They are
! well-trained morally say well
and | say 1t advisedly-but, from the
life Of exercise and activity, they are
suddenly changed to one ofinaotivity.
The result is that strong boys and
girls, by the time they get through
college, are broken down. 1t is not
because of too much mental labor,
but simply for lack ofproper exercise.
The truth is physical training in
Maryville College is neglected.. II
is true that as yet there is no gym
5 nasium, but enough out door exercise
t can be taken to keep one in good
health. The students should wake
up to the fact that a well trained
mind in a weak, nervous body is Of
little value. 1t is good to be am
billions, and to long and Strive to'lead
: in college as a student, but with all
this there should be used discretion-
Health is worth more than all the
wealth Of the world. A man who has
only a moderate education and q
strong body is worth more than q
r highly cultivated intellect in a weai
: body. 1t is better to take lower
grades and preserve health than &c
receive high grades and destroy The
/. health. The country boys are al
S ways used to plenty Of exercise ane
It consequently do not realize It's value
J. For this reason they are more apt t.
d neglect exercise thanis city boy
!. Let the physical man be cared 70
n and let student who graduates not g
Il forth with a weak, crooked bod
which will be Continual drawback
!. to him through life.
