The main feature of the afternoon
session was an address by Prof. w. G.
Wicker. Subject: Education a fac
tor in Sunday School Work. The value
of Elon College to the Home Schools
and the obligation of the Schools to
the College
He said in part: If we were to
take the students of Elon College
from our Dulpits, our churches and
our Sunday schools, it would mean a
great weakening and vice versa if we
We're to withdraw the support of the
schools from the college.
'"The college seeks to make every
boy and every cir to the best that is
possible with the faculties of the mind
and it not only gives mental instruc-
ton but gives the principles of Chris
tan character The Sabbath has
given birth and growth to the idea
Of public education. 1t is necessary
for the teachers to be so thoroughly
prepared and equipped that they may
lie able to know what the child is
capable of and they should strive to
bring out these possibilities. The
college and the Sabbath school, both
stand for the continuation of theory
and practical education enables a man
TO do more for the church, more for
the home. more. for the community
and more for the Sabbath school.
THE man or the woman who rearS
a family and does not provide for
their education omits a Christian duty
The standard of education in Elon
College is equal to that of any other
college in the State, with the excep-
ton of the University The church
must have education as we'll as ener-
gy and goodness, if it would be pro-
Gressive.'

and enthusiasm and held the close
attention Of tho large crowd present.

Consumption

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
conSumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
SCOTS Emulsionisthemod.
ern method of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive Stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
