thought.
but best Of all you will Learn
to be-tO be what?-to be all that
God intended. There is a vast diff
ference between wild peach,
which has its skin, stone, and a
little, bitter withered meat, and a
cultivated peach which has been
grated, pruned, fortified, and
sprayed, showing what a peach
really ought to be. So there is a
vast difference between iron ore
and a watch spring, which has been
converted out of the ore, and is
worth five hundred times as much.
"Brea means to make all of its
girls into cultivated peaches and
all of its boys into real watch

this purpose we want. Everything
which can hinder we will try to

Now as we are all like a family
here we take you into our conf
dence and explain to you some
things about the support Of Berea
college. We provide the best edu-
cation and IL costs money. The
Institution has been presented with
some large sums of money which
it puts out at interest so that we
have that income. But all the in
come from this endowment together
with all the student fees does not
provide for the large amounts we
have to spend. Every year we
raise at least sixty thousand dol
liars to keep the Institution NOV
ing forward and doing its great
work for its children. Now this
year we are encountering hard
times. They began last year, but
have grown worse since the Euro
tpean War. Many people who have
been sending gifts to Berea are not
able to do so, and it is necessary
for us to ecOnomize in every way.

One example is in the matter Of
taking care Of College properties.
Last year we ran behind nearly
thousand dollars on our students

Side Lights on the War
Prof Robertson

BY curious irony Of fate the
Poles at the eastern end Of the zone
Of war are feeling the pulse OF a
new national life. while the Bel
gians at the western end are being
threatened with extinction. The
question arises, what is the hope OF
the Poles1
AT the present time there is no
nation OF Poland. There are plenty
Of Poles in Russia, Austria and Ger
many but they have no state OF
their own. II was not always so.
In the fourteenth and fifteenth GEN.
turtles Poland was as large as Ger
many or Austria, with a civilization
that had features greater than its
neighbors around il.
Weakended by wars with Sweden
and Russia, Poland declined until
II became an easy prey to the
neighbors between whom IL was
wedged. On various pretexts il was
divided at three separate times in
i772, 1893 and 1895 Russia, Prus-
STA and Austria pronted by what
has been callel the crime OF the GEN.
lries. Russia got the largest por-
lion Of the land but Prussia derived
the greatest good from the act since
II helped her to unite her scattered
territory and prepared her TO be-
come the leading state in Germany.
The Poles have never lost their
national feeling and have watched
the chance TO recover their indie
pendence. Napoleon restored them
in part that he might weaken his
larger foes, but they were return
ed TO their subject condition when
his career was ended. In 1880 the
Poles Of Russia rebelled but were
again put down and treated with
greater harshness than ever. A
last effort, in 1863, left them hope
less.
But now the conditions have

Has The Monroe Doctrine Any
Bearing on The War In Europei
In these days of European turmoil,
the people of the United States can
not fail to recur 10 the famous por-
ton OF President Monroe's mes
sage to Congress in 1923, in which
he voiced the threat to the nations
OF Europe, joined in the so called
Holy Alliance. that any attempt on
their part TO restore European
government in South America
or TO colonize either in North
or South America would be con-
sidered an unfriendly act. Coupled
with this was the declaration
that the United States would
keep out of the affairs OF Europe.
This was but another application OF
the wise advice of President Wash
ington, given in his Farewell Ad-
dress, when he left the presidency,
that we should seek to avoid EN-
tangling alliances"
Brought up on a national policy
such as this, asserted in different
forms and on different occasions, il
is not hard for the people OF the
United States TO hold aloof from the
great European disaster. Nor can
we fail TO note that again the irony
OF fate promises 10 draw the COM
merce Of South America from the
European nations and turn il TO us
who helped them to secure their
political independence.

the procession was made up at the
Boarding Hail. Each department
rallied TO its dining room, and the
march began, boys first the girls

. There was never so long pro-
lcession before at the opening OF the
fall term. When the head Of the
procession reached the chapel door,
il halted and the rear was still in
front Of the dining hall. The two
ranks then stepped apart and be-
tween them the President and
Brother Roberts began their. ad-
vance to the chapel; as they passed
the people in the two lines fell in
behind. so that those who started
in the rear were the first to enter
the chapel.
The chapel was found provided
with new hymn books Christ in
Song" a book which contains near
~ one thousand pieces, and all the
favorites. On the front cover was
printed Bcrea's doxology, THE
Glad Enlistment.

Brother Knight conducted the
worship, reading the account OF
Daniel and his companions at the
great university of Babylon, and
leading in a prayer which lifted
lall of our hearts. The congrega-
ton sang Trust and Obey, and
then President Frost arose for his
opening address.
He said in part: I'VE are glad to
see you every one, the old students
and the new. We are glad in the
first place because we know you.
Some of you are old friends, and
those who have come for the first
time have made themselves known
