Yet this is still the age of preachers and of great
preachers. The man who comes to the people with
message suited to their wants is heard The
preacher must he man of the present or rather
man OF the future-a prophet. II is true that peo-
pie do not care now for Ciceronan periods or for
sermons nicely divided into heads and subheads all
prefaced by an eloquent eXordIum and concluded bv
a fervid peroration; but it is fortunate for tbe

Harvard defeated, a crew that had
broken all records in practice ana went

day night Harvard's joy was uncon-
fined.
Harvard won, but Yale rowed race
that will live long in the annals Of col
lege sports. Not only from the start
until the last sixteenth of a mile did
the shells cease to lap each other. The
men in the rival boats could See each
other for more than three miles and
a half, as first one coxsWain and then
the other called upon his crew. Har-
ward really got the lead when the
killing pace proved too much for two
of the Yale men. In the final squirt
BoultOn and Noyes were done, their
cars literally slipping away from them.
Here Harvard began to open up clear
water and in the last 10 or Is strokes
she pulled away.
Harvard won the race by less than
two lengths and a half Her time

mercy and not to kill him.
Deputies from Chickasha and Purcell
were there and made formal demand

rope was thrown over a tree on the
bank of the creek about eighteen feet
from the ground and the negro was
pulled up until he was strangled. Be-

on to a pile of brush and logs that
had been saturated with oil, and it
was then set on fire.
