MR.. WICK TO HAyE CHARGE OF WORK.
Students Employment Bureau Organ-
lied b. I'm. CA.
From DIE 1'riuily chronicle.


At the last meeting of the
Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton before college closed for the
holidays, a movement was set on
loot whereby there will be some
means to help secure. work for
those young men who desire to
come to college and who cannot
come unless they can work to
earn the whole or part of their
expenses. The Y. NJ. G. A..
thought the movement a good
one aud decided to establish a
Bureau Of Employment"
There are many worthy young
men in North Carolina and other
states who would come to college
if they could find the means to
defray their expenses. Often such
men would be the most influen-
tial and helpful men Of their COM
mnnity if they could obtain a col
lege education. Last fall there
we're upwards Of fifty men who
applied at the college Office to
know il they could obtain work
to pay a part or all OF their col
Iege expenses. And they did not
ask for light jobs. They were
willing to do anything from milk
ing cows TO sweeping floors.
These are the men that the world
needs today Men who will lead
instead Of follow. Such men need
to have the proper tools in order
TO do their lest work and one Of
these tools is a college education.
!. In order to help them get this
tool, the Young Mems Christian
Association has established this
bureau, The Durham County
Alumni Association has already
teen doing a wok similar to this
and hereafter the two will work
in conjunction. Mr.. Wick, the
Vice President Of the Association,
and the man who proposed the
movement was placcd'at the head
Of the work and Mcssrs. Knott
and Hanes were chosen as his as
sistants. They will make a can
vass Of the town and find all posi-
tons that will be open to stu
dents Of the college. A list Of
these will be placed on file at the
Office Of the bureau where ready
reference to them can be had
when an application for work is
received.
The young men who have
charge Of this department Of the
work Of the Y. NJ. c. A. are quite
efficient and willing in their en-
deavors to help worthy young
men and Il looks as II this work
is going to prove a great thing
for the interests ofthe college and,
best Of all, for the help Of strug-
Cling young men. OF course the
Bureau cannot hope to get in very
g5od working order this spring,
bm hy summer time thy should
have things pretty well worked

YOU cannot plxce Him among

Him = one of the worlds philo-
sophers, you cannot caIl Him the
founder of ! new religion, yog,
cannot place Him among the
founders Of empires. then where
will you put Hima What will
you do with. Him? One form Of
skepticism tries to dismiss Him
altogether and says He was
r myth.
Here the speaker showed that
when we assert that Christ was a
myth, we have greater problem
than ever in showing how all
these stories Of Him grew up and
why it was thar men gave their
lives for Him and His cause. But
he said, what matters it what
the old records say! Christ is the
one usgne character who is al
ways present in the world. He
is ths me tremendous living per-
son Of tae ages. He is just as
truly commanding the voices Of
man today as He was back yon-
der on the SEA side. 1t is not the
Christ of the gospel, not the
Christ that was nailed to the
cross. not the Christ who was
born at Bethlehem, and not the
Christ whom Judas kissed, it is
not this Christ with which We
deal today. 1t is the Christ who
rules the hearts of men, who sits
enthroned in every Legislative hall
and commands that men shall be
governed by those principles Of
love, mercy and justice which
He taught; it is the Christ who
knocks at every heart who ap-
peals TO my own faith, who stands
enlarged above aud beyond this
age. That is the Christ with
whom We deal"
He then went on to show that
in the light Of the times, when
the imagination OF the Greek
mind was dying, when morals
were at a very low ebb and when
the people were suffering from
political bondage and govern
mental disgrace that il would have
been impossible for them to have
created any such myth and tc
have endowed him with mora
purity and a lordfhip such as has
never been equslled.
Continuing he said, There il
another form Of skepticism; te

that lie was what he claimed Il
be. Admit that He was The

For several years past It has
been The custom Of President
Kilgo to preach to the student
and college community from time
to time during the college year.
According 10 this custom, il was
announced that he would preach
last Sunday morning in the
Craven Memorial hall, The au-
Mencc was composed almost Who'll
II Of students Of the College and
Park School and members Of the
faculty, but a good percentage Of
these was present 10 hear Dr..
Kilgo's logical discussion of
science aud religion.
He read as lis text the a2nd
verse ofthc 27th chapter 0. Mat
thew, "Pilate saith unto them,
What shall l d, then with Jesus,
which is called Christi They all
say unto him, Let him be cruci-
fed" and spoke in substance as
follows:
"Jesus is no less the worlds
supreme problem today than when
He stood before Plate. To Plate
this question meant no more than
the getting rid of an unpleasant
task. He did not realize the
depth of the question he asked
nor the judgement passed. Here
We have a most illustrious exam
pie Of a man taking part in a
crisis about which hinged the des-
tiny Of the ages and not apprc-
ciatine the full significance Of it.
To dispose Of Jesus was to him
simply to perform an unpleasant
duty, 10 end with that.
"They crucifed Him but they
did not get rid Of Him, and The
Son Of God today is the one su,
preme proble-, q the world. He
is the one vexing question before
human thought Jesus is not
only a subject for our thought,
and for historical research. but
He is a personal question for oui
lives. He is the supreme issue Of
universal destiny. Upon Him al
things depend. What shall be
done with Him is the one com
manding question of this age
Upon what throne shall He bs
seil Where is His just place in
the classi6cations among mem

men aud for men,"
The speaker then, beginning
with the prophesies Of Christ's
coming aud taking up the events
Of His birth and life, the begin
ming Of His ministry and the
miracles that He performed,
showed the uniqueness Of His
character and how His personality
stands alone in the annals Of so.

Him among men. He reversed
all the processes Of nature. The
waves Of the sea hushed their
voices at his command and the
winds dare not wall. The very

Him. Everywhere His lordshir
was recognized. But above all
this stands the sublimity Of His

To Gain Social Success.

Mr.. Waters was asked yesterday

the formation Of this new company in
any way. That the name Kenyon"

thought, and the new place will be open
