his food and cultivates the soil and
uses tools, etc.
Is Thinking Animal.
Man does all these and countless
more things. Man is the thinking
animal. He does more things and
better things than all the creatures
beneath him, because he is capable
of thought; he has a thinking mind.
Man has a sense Of right and wrong,
also, and an Unborn desire and regard
for God. Man is a moral and re-
ligious being, and a future citizen IF
heaven. Man is so much like God
himself as to be his very child, the
good book says. Beasts and birds
and fishes do not have schools and
churches, but men have such things
to develop that part of their nature
which is above the dumb brute. That
is why 1 am talking and you are lis
tening today.
81 can find this test for my talk on
manliness in three or four places in
| Gods holy word. Paul said it this
way: Quit you like men, Now quit
Is word with many meanings, but
boy must not be a gutter If he
Real men are not CUTTERS they
never say die but hold out, stick to
| it to the end, when they are in right
good work. Paul meant, conduct
yourselves manfully, act like men,
be true men and show that you are
such. Paul's words read like words
| borrowed out of the old part of the
| bible and written over again in the
new part, for we can trace them back
| to both first and second Samuel, and
also in Isaiah. Finding the words
| in Samuel gives special point for my
talk to boys, because he was one of
the fine boys of the bible, before he
became one of the great men of the
bible. God called the boy Samuel,
and He calls every boy.
wars of King David's Time.
1.-The story of our text is about the
! holy wars of King David's time. The
enemies of Gods people were COM
bined in power. and Israel also had
two armies formed in battle array.
They were marching as to war; not
for mere parade One general was
cheering the other up and on. BE
of good courage, and let US play the
man for our people, and for the cities
of our God; and Jehovah do that
which seemeth him good. Isn't
there a lot in that verse? Bravery
and patriotism and religion. The re-
suit was victory on the Lords side.

STONE DELAYED;
PROGRAM IS OFF
Corner Laying Ceremonies at
Denkmann College Library
Are Postponed.
SHIPMENT MADE DEC. 8
Leaves Carthage, Mr., On That Date
and Had Not Reached Kan
sas City Today.

Failure Of the cornerstone of the
Denkmann memorial library on the
Augustana grounds, Thirty-fifth and
Seventh avenue to reach the city to-
day, necessitated a postponement of
the exercises scheduled for tomorrow
afternoon.
All of the arrangements for the ex-
ercises had been perfected when 1t
was learned that the stone, which was
shipped from Carthage, Mo, Dec. 8,
would not arrive in time. Several days
were spent in an effort to get trace of
the stone, and when it was learned to-
day that it had not yet arrived at Kan
sas City it was seen that it would be
impossible for It to reach Rock Island
by tomorrow, and accordingly the7post-
ponement was agreed upon by the
committee of arrangements.
President Speeding Home.
DR.. Gustave Andreen, president of
the college; Prof. Andrew Kemp and
DR.. A. T. Ekblad, who are in New
York soliciting in behalf of the jubilee
fund, are en- route home for the exer-
cises, not knowing of the hitch in the
cornerstone laying program. They will
be home tomorrow morning. Had the
committee been advised that the stone
would not arrive in time DIR. Andreen
and his associates would have been in
formed and they could have remained
a few more days in the east at their
work before starting home for Christ
mas.
No Date Fixed.
The committee is not ready to state
when the exercises will take place. To-
morrow is the last day of the present
semester at the college, and the ma
jority Of the students will be off for
their homes in other cities. The cere-
monies, it has been determined, will
not be held without the presence of
the student body, and therefore it is
not likly that the program will be car
ried out much before the latter part
of next month.

BOY ''QUITTER"
MAKES POOR MAN
Youngster Must Stick to
Amount to Anything, Says
Rev. J. L. Vance.
! RIGHT LIVING. AND THINKING
Helpful Address Delivered Sunday
Afternoon ut the Memorial
Christian Church.

"Play the man" was the subject
Of the address delivered by Rev. ]. L.
Vance. pastor Of the United Presby-
terrain church, before the mass meet
ing OF 2. M. 9. A. boys at the Memorial
Christian church yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was under the auspices
of the B. G. NJ. club. the boys march
ing in a body from the Y. NJ. c. A. to
the church. Rev. Mr.. Vance said:
Every boy worth raising wants to
be man. but how is a youngster to
know how, when not every grown-up
fellow knows? Some men don't
seem to know how to be men; at
least they don't make good guides
for boys. Who is able to show the
way to manliness, and who can lead
our boys to be true men? Only God s
word, and Christ's example, and the
Spirits help, are altogether reliable
and sufficient for this. Turn, then, to
the bible.
"What Is man? Plato said, a
two-legged animal without feathers.
But Socrates brought him picked
rooster for a man, then the laugh
was on Plato. Some have said one
thing, others another, about man;
each thing being true, but not the
whole truth. Man has been called
the laughing animal, the talking ami
NAL, the trading animal, the dressing
animal, the cooking animal, the cul-
tivating animal, the tool-making ami
NAL, and so on; because no other
creature laughs and talks and makes
bargains and wears clothes and cooks
