The weather is breezy and re-

in which to study, and everything
has started off with a spirit of
hearty enthusiastic work.

And secondly, let us show our
selves worthy Of the faith our
benefactor has reposed in US by
transform g these great oppor-
tunities fo2 culture into personal
attainment and worth by vigor
Gus and earnest work. This Is no
place for those who have come
here to have an idle time. II any
one has this deiuslon it were best
for him to pack his trunk now
and return home. OF course we
do not believe in ali work and no
play. Abundant facilities have
been provided for indoor and out
door games and exercise. We
believe in athletic exercise. For
that prepares us the better for
our work. In fact boys and girls
never work harder than when
they play. But we should study
during study hours, and when the
time for play comes we can play
with all our might. AS you get
ia, Their into life you will realize
that our hs ppiness is in our work,
if happiness we have at all. And
thirdly, We should take care to
transform these facilities into
real character. Our Lord is our
matchless example and ideal in
this. His ;fe was one of work
and service for his fellow men.
To the extent we initiate him in
this to that exit ut shall we have
acquired that character which is
greatest and best. Finally,
would not conclude these remarks
without urging upon our students
one other thing, namely, that
they discountenance lying. While
in Europe, during my last visit
noticed this popularity Of the
students at Elton. He who lice
was in disgrace. His fellow stu

OPENING OF STETSON UNIVERSITY
From the Baptist Witness

AS the WITNESS has been pre-
dieting for some time that it |
would, our John B. Stetson Uni
versity starts oil better than
usual this year. At 9 o'clock
Wednesday morning, September
90, the old chapel was so full OF
students and visitors that chairs
had TO be brought from other
halls and placed in the aisles. If
we reflect that this crowd came
together in q drenching rain, we
shall all the better appreciate the
enthusiasm of the visitors who
helped crowd the building. Not
only was the room we'll filled but
some stood on the outside.
The opening exercises occupied
an hour and q half. After the
reading of passage of Scripture,
and prayer by President Forbes,
he announced that he desired to
make a short talk to the students,
after which others would be asked
to speak. President Forbes ad-
dresses on these occasions are al
ways inspiring. This one was no
exception. 1t was full point and
power. There was not an unnec-
essary word in it. He said pre-
cisely what was in his mind and
heart for the students and out
lined his hopes for them. We
would like to give it in full, but
cannot do that. First he spoke
Of the happy occasion which had
brought them together, the en-
trance upon new school year.
He was glad to say, "The Uni
versiUy offered it's students more
eXter sive and complete facilities
and opportunities for a first-class
education than ever. The two
magnificent new buildings were
receiving their finishing touches,
the faculty was larger and the
equipment in all departments was
much superior to what it ha6
been. For all this we are in
debted to one man, Mr.. Stetson.
The same generous heart which
had already done so much was
now giving us these new equip,
ments. We all feel grateful for
this, and 1t is my desire that
students ana all shall show then
appreciation of these splendid
facilities by doing what We can le
take care Of the property. Some
one has called me a crank on the
subject Of keeping things about
these buildings and grounds new
and neat. The description tit:
me. Al | wish all the student:
to have this same spirit so thai
any act OF vandalism or marrins
Of buildings or furniture or lawns
may suffer from being discounte
nanced and despised by students

semi-hnmorous speech. 1t was
full Of meat and sound advice.
DR.. English had q remarkable
student experience. Re went to
college as many another boy has
done with little or 10 money, and
the Lord opened the way step by
step for him not only to graduate
from college but IN medicine and
law. Basing his remarks on this
experience he gave the students
something to think about, and
concluded by suggesting to any
student who was struggling for
his education the motto he adopt
ed W hiie at school. It constitutes
a Triangle: l. Never go in debt
2. Never ask o favor Of any one
but God. ). Be content with
what you have. Dr.. Eng fish
guar3 ntecd success TO any stu
dent who would adopt and stick
to that motto.
President Forbes then intro
duced Rev. DR.. Little, rector of
the Episcopal church Of DeLand.
Or. Little is an Englishman Of
hility and experience. He was
Cor years missionary in NADIA
=ascar, and is always interesting z.
lie is also lecturer and author
of some note. AS an Englishman
he claimed close kinship to Ameri-
cans, and thought the two nations
We're in a way one by reason of
the fact that the people constitut-
ing both spoke the same language.
He thought that America and
England the two greatest nations
and should always stand by each
other. And yet ne did not like
the way which many American
newspapers wrote English. He
desired therefore to advise the
students against contracting a
careless style of writing or speak
ing.
DR.. w. N. Cbaudoin was of
course present. Everybody was
glad to see him and glad to hear
him. He appropriately and
sweetly closed the series of ad.
dresses by saying that he thanked
5 the Lord for this day. He was
I not a college graduate himself.
La his youth he did not have the
admirable opportunities for cul.
ture which were here offered to
y the students present. But he
e could thank God that he had per.
, mitted him to have some hand il
helping to build up this great
. school. He believed himself
0 among the richest and happiest
I of men, for he claimed as his owl
d the University, the trustees, The

l. dents and all as his own. And il

and inspiring exercises. Soon tn,

providing that the house shall meet

democrats and populists were solidly
arrayed against the republicans and it

ton. led by Mr.. Bailey, of Texas was
based on the ground that the pro-

Joseph NJ. Patton, of Topeka. Responsible
for One "Thrilllng story"
TOPEKA, Kan, May 6.-Some weeks
ago an account was published here and
sent out purporting to give descrip-
ton of the fight of an 'airship' over
Topeka. The story said that it carried
two big lights and sailed majestically
over the city, its light rivaling the
brilliancy of Venus. 1t turns out
that the mysterious visitor was
nothing more than scientific
kite sent up by Joseph M. Pat
ton, manager Of the Topeka street
railway, who is something of me-
teorologist and who bought the kite in
Boston for the purpose of making at
mospheric tests. The kite is about rs
inches high and carries two enormous
lanterns and in the heavens looks start
lingly big When Mr.. Patton read
what sensation his experiment had
caused he laughed in his sleeve and en-
couraged the reporters to further in
vestigation. He kept his secret until
to-day, when he confded it to friend
and who made it public.
