College Oarsmen May Row In Junior Races
at tho Harlem Regnttn.

s s"o AAeFiSh hSBNttu.
Athletic Director Giannini OF tho New York
Athletic Club has raised the issue as to
whether college oarsmen should be allowed 70
row in Junior races. The New York A. G.. has
an eight-oared junior crew in training pre-
sumably with the idea OF winning the Koch"
Cup at the Harlem regatta for the third time.
when the trophy will become the absolute
property OF tho club 1t is now stated that.
should the entries OF college boat club crews
be accepted for the junior event. tho winged
foot" eight will decline the issue and seek
honors ut the Passaic regatta. which is also
scheduled for Decoration Day.
That this contingency is probable ia evident
from the statement OF an offlcer Of one OF the
college boat clubs, who is apparently anxious
to establish the eligibility OF the members OF
his crew. He says:
I'm regard to the matter OF junior eligibility.
according to our standing any man who has
rowed in race open to moro than two clubs
and won Is not junior; but II man has won a
same club, it seems unfair 70 cali him an inter.
meiiate oar Such races are purely club affairs
an. and have nothing in common with the regular
coiegr claSe races, which We are perfectly Wills
ing a. admit into the category Of open races"
A AS the matter now stands there is no ques-
ton that the entries OF college boat club crews
for the junior events will be accepted by tho
ESecntiys Committee. provided they are elig-

Fred Vilmar President OF the association,
said yesterday:
While the constitution Of the Harlem Re-
Ratta Association contains its present denni-
tton of junior We have no alternative but 10 ac-
cent the entries Of the coegans. should they
desire to row. Ii the New York A. C. oarsmen
are Rverse 10 rowing under these conditions
the only course open to them is to first amend
the constitution. as the conditions governing
the race for the Koch Cup stipulate that the
race shall lie open to al juniors. special
two-mile race for college boat club crews has
been included IN the programme. with the idea
OF Inducing the best oarsmon Of the dfferent
colleges to compete in that event. and thus in
measure, detracting from the quality of the
crews that will meet the athletic and rowing
clubs in the Junior race"

HE SHALL PROSPER WHO oBEYs

There is no royal road to right;
No victory comes a t idle call;
Prosperity is not for might;
Fair Wisdoms way is free to all
This grand old law forever stays
That he shall prosper who obeys.
Old Israel heard with trembling awe,
Proclaimed from Sinai's Mount sublime,
The dictates of that righteous law
That echoes throughout all time.
God taught them in a thousand ways,
That he shall prosper who obeys.
Woe unto him who dares to spurn
The truth Jehovah maketh known!
Too late, alas! he yet shall learn
That right must not be overthrown.
Though retribution long delays,
He only prospers who obeys.
The cattle on a thousand hills
The sunsets mystic glory-bars,
The cataracts and mountain rillS
The sun and moon and rolling stars,
All show-yea, heaven itself portrays-
That he shall prosper who obeys.
Let nations fear the Almighty God,
Repenting humbly in the dust
Nor stand beneath His lifted rod,
But make His age-tried word their trust.
Let us remember all our days
The nation prospers that obeys.

Keeping Ones Temper.

Keeping the temper is one of the
rarest fruits of grace and one of the
strongest proofs of a true Christian
manhood. 1t takes more strength of
character to rule ones spirit and keep
insurgent passions under restraint
than to take a city. Yet the doing of
this is essential alike to peace and to
power for service. One might almost
venture the assertion that, there is no
more prolific source of unrest and vex-
alton than unrestrained temper, and
that more Christian lives are marred
by it than by any other failing. How
slight and trivial, too. are many of the
occasions which lead to loss of temper!
A trifle. light as air, a petty affront, a
thoughtless word, a slight reverse or
disappointment. and we give vent to a
storm of passion as though the sum Of
all evils had suddenly come upon us.
Robert Browning. in The Ring and the
Book, expresses the folly of this in
graphic phrase when he describes it
as 'all hell let loose on a butterfly" A
moments reflection, and we are
ashamed of ourselves that the balance
could be so easily disturbed. Losing
temper, we lose comfort and advantage
and influence.-Baptist Union.

GIVING AND WITHHOLDING.
Both Are Elements of True Love
as ExempIified by
God.

God is love, yet there is both good
ness and severity" in God. These quail
titles, therefore, must be elements of
love. Love is not mere kindness. and
yielding to the wishes of others. 1t
has regard to the best and truest good
of its human object, and for the sake
of that it can refuse with all needful
emphasis. For while we may both
please others and deny ourselves by
giving in to their unreasonable de-
sires, we may be doing them the very
worst injury by our complaisance. We
all see this to be true of children
whose mothers have turned them into
nuisances and petty tyrants by indul-
gence But we are liable to overlook
it in dealing with children of a larger
growth, and to think that their judg-
ment of their needs and wants consti-
tutes a claim on our Christian love. In
all cases it is our duty to adjust our ac
ton to our best Judgment of their
deepest needs-needs which go deep
er than those of back and stomach or
ease and comfort. Christian love was
shown as truly by Paul in his bid
ding the Thessalonian church to let it's
loafers starve, as by James in com
mending the widows and the fatherless
to the Christian charity of the churches
of the dispersion. True charity looks
to the needs rather than to the wants
of its objects. 1t often withholds aims,
but never human help in the shape of
either goodness or severity. 1t spares
no trouble, but it discriminates as
carefully as a physician in determin-
ing what shape help is to takes. 5.
