DAMON AND PYTH|AS
The Story Of Filial Love Told in
Sermon at College Avenue
Baptist Church.
MINISTER BIRD breaches.
Special Sermon Before Local Order
OF Knights Of Pythias.

A large and representative congre
cation gathered last evening at the
service of College Avenue Baptist
Church, the Rev T. c. Bird, minister
to hear a special sermon preached By
request before Friendship Lodge,
Knights of Pythias
Despite the bad weather MANY
| strangers turned out together with the
usual congregation, and the X. of p.
and also a number of delegates to the
Legislature vino are Knights of
Pythias. The minister took his text
from Romans 5-S. but God COM
mendeth His love toward us, in that
while we were yet sinners Christ died
for Us. =
After briefly relating for the bene-
fit of those present who were not
members of the Order the beautiful
story of Damon and Pythias, and re-
ferring to the mutual love of David
and Jonathan, the preacher remarked
that if one could be found who exem-
plified to a superlative degree this
love and friendship. he was worthy of
the allegiance of every one. He then
showed how Christ measured up to it.
He is the friend that sticketh
closer than a brother" the friend of
publicans and sinners, who said that
greater love hath no man than this.
that a man lay down his life for his
friend. But He, Himself, did infinite
ly more than this. He laid down His
life for His enemies.
In the development of his theme,
the preacher emphasized two general
principles. First, that love finds it's
highest expression in a willingness
to die for the sake of it. This feature
was variously illustrated He spoke
of the patriots love of country-and
his willingness to die for it, the scien-
lists love of humanity and the risk
he often takes in his attempts to dis
cover some ameliorating agency for
the worlds ills; of the mothers devo-
tion to child afflicted with an infec-
tious disease; of many instances in
which a brother has given of his life's
blood to save the ebbing life of a
brother. This was crowned with
detailed account of the death of Christ
for love of humanity.
Second, that the value of love is
enhanced in proportion to the un-
worthiness of the objection which it
is bestowed. Pythias would sacrifice
his life for his friend The patriot
dies for the country he loves and
that loves him. The mother risks her
life for love of the little one who is
part of her own being and life. All
this is based on reciprocal love. But
Christ died for us while we were vet
enemies. They hated Me without
cause
The sermon abounded in apt illus
tration, and the preacher closed with
an appeal to the Pythians to rise
to this Christ-like conception of
their obligations to their fellowmen.
1t is easy to love those who love
us. 1t is not so easy to love those who
hate US, but it is Christ-like.

FIVE MORE. RESIGN.
Plebes Could Not Even Make the
Reduced Passing Mark Of ''2.2"
so Had to 20.

Notwithstanding the action of the
academic board in lowering the pass-
ing mark from ''2.5" to 20. 8" and in
some more difficult studies to even
2.2," five more middies this morn
ing severed their connection with the
naval service because of their stand
ing in the recent semi-annual exami-
nations at the Naval Academy.
Announcement was made at the
Academy this morning that the action
in lowering the pass ing mark had
been taken under authority from the
Navy Department at Washington,
and it was admitted that this lowering
of the standard had saved many youths
from being bounced. Those midship-
men who had worked strenuously to
reach the old passing grade of "2.5"
are complaining that the action was
not fair to them, and at the same
time the allegation is made that if
many of the fifteen fourth-.@@classmen
who became discouraged seyer the
knowledge that they had not made 2. S
had known the grade was to be
lowered they would not have resign
ed and would, in addition have made
the necessary "22."
The five youths who resigned today
were F. D. Kirkland, of Kansas; c..
G. Thoma, of Illinois;W. Y. Morris.
of Texas; j. w. DeBoer, of Michi-
gan. and E. A. Wahl, of Minnesota.

VETOES TIPPING SYSTEM.
Controllers Adverse Decision on MILDLY
Scheme at Annapolis.

The controller of the Treasury has
annulled the suggested plan of tip
ping walters, BARRIERS, ETC.. by mid
shipmen at the Naval Academy.
A board appointed by the superin-
tendent of the Academy to solve the
problem proposed that fund be es-
tablished by pro rata assessment of
the midshipmen for the payment of
extra compensation to certain EN-
ployes.
The controller held that the super
intendent could not legally authorize
and direct the use of money appro-
priated for midshipmen when there
was no legal obligation on the part of
the midshipmen to pay.

that kietfer. who for three years has
been an almost sure tirst-place man
at tumbling, was beaten out by his
team mate, Gillette. The summary.

WILD RUMORS DENIED.
Academy Authorities Backed Up by
Navy Department.

Emphatic denial was made at the
Naval Academy this morning of the re-
ported action on the part of Cant.
John H. Gibbons in asking to be re-
iieved from the superintendent of
the institution.
This denial was further substanti.
ated by word from the Navy Depart
ment at Washington to the effect that
there was absolutely nothing in the
story.
There has for some time been a
rumor that Captain Gibbons eontem-
plated asking to be detached from An.
napolis, and this morning there was q
more positive tone to these reports.
However. the denial from the
Academy and from the Navy Depart.
ment set the matter at rest.

GOOD, CLEAN POLITICS
With the Progressive members
of the legislature back of him in
his progressive platform, Gov.
Dunno will be able, no doubt, to
carry out some pledges made to
the people during the campaign,
and without being forced to trade
with any of the Democratic
bosses.
The attitude taken by the Pro-
.gressives is something new in
politics, and just as refreshing as
it is new.
Instead of fighting Gov. Dunno
because he is a Democrat and be-
longs to another party, the II
Progressive legislators will sup
port him in everything he tries to
do for the people of Illinois.
That's good politics because
it's clean and honest politics and
Judge Dunno, being a clean and
honest politician himself, will
understand and appreciate it.
The bosses will probably find
that President Wilson will also
be back of Gov. Dunno.
