Resolutions OF Respect

At the meeting of the Bethel Sun
day school May Z, 1916, committee
was appointed to draft resolutions of
respect to the memory of Mrs. Ber-
nice Lambeth, beloved teacher, and
the committee offered the following
resolutions:
Whereas, God in His infinite wis
dom and mercy has removed from
our midst our beloved friend and
co-worker, Mrs. Bernice Landreth,
who died May 2, from burns received
May 1, 1916, we fail to find words to
express our deep sorrow at her early
departure, yet we do not grieve as
those that have no hope of meeting
her again. Though our circle has
been broken and no more will she
be seen in her accustomed place in
our Sunday school, though the sound
Of her voice we may not hear, yet we
know she is only waiting on that
golden shore for the loved ones left
behind. She will be greatly missed
by the members of the Bethel Sun
day school and the neighborhood
generally, where her Christian exam
pies told every day the spiritual life
she was living, and we realize it is
our duty to humbly submit and boy
to the will of our Heavenly Father
who doeth all for the best, ever re-
Numbering that it is the Lord that
giveth and the Lord that taketh
away. Blessed be the name of the
Lord.
Resolved further, That there be
spread upon the minutes of our Sun
day school in which she was a faith
full worker, and a copy sent to our
county paper at Beaver, Oklahoma,
also to the Liberal Democrat and the
Liberal News at Liberal, Kansas, for
publication, and copy sent to the
bereaved family. r...

A Symbol of Health

The Pythagorians of Ancient
Greece ate simple food, practiced
temperance and purity. AS a badge
they used the five pointed star which
they regarded as symbol of health.

DO YOU KNOW THE YOUNG MANYl

DO YOU KNOW THE YOUNG MAN?
What do you know about the young
man who calls SO regularly upon
your daughter? Where did she meet
him? How did she get acquainted
&dth him? Who is he? What is his
station in life? What is his bust
ness? What are his habits? Why
Is he hanging around your girl? You,
fathers and mothers of daughters.
can you answer these questions? Can
you answer any of them? Did you
ever ask yourself any of them? Have
you asked them of your daughter?
Do you know the young man at all?
II not, why not? It's your duty. to
guide and protect your daughter, is 1t
not? How comes, then, this stranger
In your house?
Here are number of simple ques-
tions that present no problem at all.
Common sense would suggest them to
almost anyone. In many cases curl
osity, which sometimes is as good a
mentor as commonsense, would pro-
pound them and demand answers.
But how many parents ask them? If
you do ask them are you satisfied
with the answers you receive? If
you are not what do you do about it?
The questions arise in the editorial
mind out of 1-day sensation of sew
eral weeks ago. You remember 1t.
A young man, calling upon young
woman at her fathers house, shot
himself to death. He had just learned
that his duplicity had been exposed
and he took the towards way out,
leaving wife and two children in
his own home few squares away.
The enormity of the mans offense
was somewhat obscured at the time
by the circumstance that his exposure
was made through the medium of an
anonymous letter to the young wom-
ans father. 1t was only after re-
ceipt of that letter that the father
demanded knowledge of the man who
had been accepted as the sutton for
his daughters hand. The tragedy
followed and responsibility was
placed by the unthinking on the auth
or of the letter. OF course denuncia-
ton anonymously made is the work
of a sneak and ordinarily is unworthy
of consideration. Here seems to have
been case in which the circumstan-
ces justified the means employed. But
that is a matter beside the point Of
this discussion.
If the father of the young woman
whose romance was so tragically end
ed had done his duty there would
have been no such painful denoue-
ment. The young man would have
trespassed in that home only once.
1t was complaisant parents, trusting

child, and reposing too much conf
Hence, in the uprightness of American
manhood, that placed their daughter
in peril. Such thing could not hap
pen in properly organized home.
Parents Of practical understanding
will not take much on faith. Trust
not too much to the inexperience of
girls. Nor repose faith in the nobili-
ty, innocence and frankness of young
men whom you do not know. Par
ents do know of the snares that be-
set the path and betray the confidence
Of youth. They know that apparent
ly honorable intention often is the
mask of the base design. Knowing,
they should be on their guard, and
on guard to spare their daughters
They wouldn't trust their
money to a stranger. Is not ones
daughter of more value than money?

Decision Reached at Meeting
of Athletic Authorities,
Students and Alumni.

Columbia will not withdraw from in
tercollegiate rowing. This was de-
cided at a meeting of the athletic au-
thorities and representatives OF the
student body and the alumni at the
Columbia University Club in Gra-
mercy Park last night.
Many speeches were made. IN which
the rowing situation was discussed at
great length, and then the resolution
that columbia University do not
withdraw from intercollegiate rowing
was unanimously adopted.
The meeting was called by Francis
c. Bangs and VI. G.. Bogue to consider
the recommendation that the Blue and
White abandon rowing as a sport at Co
lumbia. The doleful story of lack OF
interest was told, the failure OF the
crews was pointed out, and the point
was emphasized that just so long as the
same spirit held Columbia could look
forward TO nothing better, nothing
more cheerful than a repetition OF the
defeats Of the last two years in the
dash down the Hudson.
Both Mr.. Bangs and Mr.. Bogue point
ed out the woeful lack of material for
crews at Columbia, and asked the meet
ing 10 cast sentiment to one side and
consider the facts as they existed.
II was brought out in language that
was quite as forceful as II was elo-
ouent that not even that wonder coach
Jim Rice could hope to turn out win.

10 fashion the same was not to be had
II was pointed out how last year only
fftv-eight freshmen, weighing from
1875 pounds up, reported for practice
II was shown how they finished dis
NAL last in the race.
The facts that only fifty-seven var
sity candidates responded 10 the call
and the crew averaged only l5s pounds
on race day were brought out: MOI
was the fact that the crew trailed IN
third neglected.
Yet sentiment and tradition are
forceful factors in cases like these
and il was sentiment, perhaps, more
than anything else, which swayed the
meeting. Charles II. Mapes. chairman
OF athletics. made a stirring speech IN
behalf of the sport. He declared IN
ringing tones that to draw the Blue
and White from of the waters would

be a crying shame. He insisted that
the university was behind its crews
in victory or defeat.
Many of the old oarsmen spoke, and
they were applauded vociferously r.
R. OLoughlin. captain of the II crew,
defended rowing, and at the end the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
this meeting that Columbia Univer-
sity do not withdraw from intercol-
legiate rowing"
The enthusiasm of the meeting was a
thing of beauty and a joy forever; the
sentiment was most commendable, but
rowing is far from secure on Morning
side Heights, and the gathering last
night may serve only 10 delay what
many hold TO be inevitable.
Jim Rice is far from contented with
conditions as they exist, and it is ru.
mored that he is about TO sever his
connection with the college, although
he does hold a contract that has sew
eral years TO run. Rice has been con-
fronted with one problem after an
other, until he has sickened Of his

Church a True Gibraltar
On Courts at CedarhurSt

Davis shot a line drive so fast that
Church. starting a. full speed for It,
went twenty yards past the court be-
fore he could check himself. Davis
won this game, his service, after .
hard struggle. Each man took his SER
vice to sail, by following II into the
net, although Davis had a narrow
escape on his fifth game, trailing at
love-40, but pulling out the game By
great volleying and a service ace.
Then the end of the set came with
startling suddenness. Davis, behind
800 on his own delivery, let one OF
Church's low, tricky lobs drop, think
ing the ball would go out. The sphere
hit the line, and Church quickly took
his own delivery after the score was
love-30 against him. The second point
of this game was . great volleying
exhibition, with both men at the net.
Davis netted the last point after an
exchange.
The second and third sets we're repe-
titions Of the first, except that each
player became erratic, and Davis could
not slip over service aces on the shifty
Church. When Church charged into
forecourt on his service, Davis hit
hard, backhand or forehand, for line
pass. Church varied his shots more,
hitting either down the lines or cross
court, or slowing up heavily topped
drive 10 make il drop at the Bullets
feet Is he ran in.
Church Slows Up.
Even 50 keen a player as Church,
keenest Of the cracks, tired after the
fast play OF the first two sets, and
slowed up in the third. Davis, des-
perate, threw himself into the breach
and ran up lead OF Al, breaking
through Church's service for the first
time in the match on the fourth game.
But with lead against him, the tower
ing Church ran the score 10 5-4 in
his favor. Davis then broke through
Church again.
Church retaliated, then took his own
delivery after an exciting exchange on
the last point, when Davis, striving
a long-drawn "Oh-h," The Bullet had
been hemmed In by the bullet-mould.
The new Church Davis doubles team,
which many predict will make new
doubles history in this country, came
through TO the finals By eliminating
Charles NJ. Bull, jr., and Robert lie
Roy, s-3, s-2. Theodore Roosevelt
Pell and Lyle Evans Mahan advanced

struggle with S. Howard Voshell and
