our ships were crippled at sea by the
loss OF men As II was difficult to
distinguish an Englishman from an
American the latter were frequently
dragged from the ships and sent to
English prisonA This behavior on
the part OF England only added SYM
patty to the French cause and despite
the insults offered to our President by
Genet the people still clamored for
war against England in the cause Of
France Finally Jefferson became dis
gusted with the behavior Of Genet,
and by letters and speeches brought
the people back to right thinking.
The Won Papen letters and the Boy

pared with the utterances and beha-
vior OF Genet, who made open fun

the land 20 assist him. Jefrerson's

This occurred when the Frenchman

him to lay them before Congress, but
Jefferson answered him In a spirited
letter in which he made II plain that

now seen everywhere and great ex-
element prevailed. Fauchet, who
had succeeded Genet. was a keen dip

insolence of his predecessor In his
subtle way he kept up the sympat ny
for France and the hatred for Great

Mr.. Jay had been sent to Great

PI EPSILON PI ENTERTAINs

Pi Epsilon Pi Literary Society en-
tertained the young men of the De-
partment in Music Hall Saturday
night. The program took the form
of the regular weekly meetings.
The invocation was pronounced by
Miss Parker. After few words
of hearty welcome by the President,
Miss Helen Bundy read an exceed
ingly instructive essay on THE
Value of Latin" IL was a paper
which would cause the anti-clas-
sicists a great deal of trouble to
refute. A beautiful solo was sung
by Miss Jean McCollum. Miss Helen
Bush followed with a reading, THE
Lost Word" by Van Dyke, TO the
spirit of which an instrumental
duet by Misses Cleta Hammonds and'
Sue Mae Senter added much. The
most humorous part of the pro-
gram was series Of journalistic
attempts by Misses Lorena Hafer
and Grace Boyer which they CON-
bined into a classic little editorial
sheet, THE Eagle" The program
was concluded by an original story,
THE Millennium" by Jean McCol-
lum. The remainder Of the even
ing was spent in singing the so
ciety songs. The program was pro-
nounced by all present as being
highly literary. The College De-
partment is TO be congratulated up
on the splendid work Of its young
women in each Of the senior So
cieties.

THE MESSIAH

Few things are like wine in that
they become better as they get older.
Yet this is true Of the oratorio OF
"The Messiah" The rendition Of
that most famous of musical compo-
sitions by the Harmonic Society
Monday night was better than IL has
been before. The story Of the Christ
was never more beautifully told
than thru the medium Of this great
oratorio. The chorus showed re-
markable training and the great
numbers, especially the "Halleluiah
Chorus" were inspiring and uplift-
ing in the highest degree. The solos
were sung by Mrs. West, soprano;
Miss Beck, alto; Mr.. Strub, tenor,
and Professor Phalen, basso. Each
Of the soloists were at their best
and gave remarkable interpretations
Of their respective parts.
As a disinterested spectator. The
Citizen would say that IL is worth a
term in any College To hear "The
Messiah" rendered intelligently.
This is one Of Berea's most excellent
customs. II makes Christmas mean
all the more TO hear this great work
of superlative art. The concert was
given without the orchestra this
year that the parts might be more
distinct. The use Of the organ in
connection with the piano to &C
company the chorus was a new fea-
ture. Professor Rigby and members
OF Harmonic, we congratulate you.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR

The meeting of the Christian En-
deavor Of the Union Church Sunday
night was led by George Hancock.
The topic was big Jobs Awaiting
U.s." Professor William J. Baird
presented the large opportunity for
work in the rural disticts. Mr.. Tay-
Tor presented the modern dance and
the problem that it gives to thot-
full people. Doctor Roberts and
Thomas Parker each spoke OF vital
problems which are calling for
leaders in their solution. Songs by
the Foundation Glee Club and Miss
Lillian Fort added TO the spirit OF
the meeting. II was pronounced by
many as the best meeting they have
ever attended in Christian Endea-
vor. II certainly was a treat. The
next leader has big job" TO beat
it.
