Freedom and Farewell.

The morning brought a message from
the magistrates to the jailer to liberate
the apostles. but they insisted upon
their rights as citizens of Rome. The
rulers. who had been moved by the
shock Of the earthquake to give them
their freedom, now had by the apos-
ties action another shock, for one of
the most valued privileges of Ro-
man citizenship was immunity from
corporal punishment. for Cicero tells
us that ito fetter a Roman citizen
dal. to slay him a parricide!" Paul
and Silas. being Romans. had been
publicity beaten. and that without due
trial and strict examination. PauPs
stand for his legal rights filled the
rulers with fear. but IT assured future
protection for the church. The two
rulers did not wait long after they
heard how they had condemned with
out trial the two Roman citizens who
had been freed by the providential
apostles and tried to make their peace
with the ones they had wronged and
Induce them to leave the city because
they were afraid of the possible out
come. They knew that II the mob spirit
should break out again that they could
not control It. While the magistrates
personally did all that Paul could have
asked, the apostle took his time about
leaving the city. He waited until his
wounds were healed and then took
it's love and devotion to him by their
generous gifts and loving labor on his
behalf during the days OF his trials.
The church. that he left evidently
until the end and continued to preach
unto all the message Of salvation, Be
Iieve on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt
be saved. thou and thy house"

SUMMER BASE BALL IS HIT.
Cornell Makes More Stringent Eligi
bility Rule for Students.

ITHACA. December 26.-In an effort
to curb the evil of summer base ball.
Cornell has made radical change in
the eligibility rules for the coming
year. Under the new rule. which goes
into effect January /. permission from
the university faculty committee on
student affairs is required before a
student may play in any base ball con-
test at which admission is charged to
the field or stand. except as member
of the college team.
A violation of this will be taken as
prima facie evidence that renumera ton
was received. and the student becomes
Ineligible to represent the university.
II. however. a sufficient reason for
failure to obtain the required permis-
sion is presented to the committee on
student affairs the students eligibility
may be restored. The rules governing
freshmen also have been made to con-
form to this principle.

Moro opportunities for competition
are needed by track athletes in the
south Atlantic section. With only three
meets during the winter and but one
or two in the spring months in which
all may take part, the chance for de-
veloping widespread interest in track
and field sports, to say the most, Is
small. This winter Georgetown and
George Washington universities are to
hold events open to all athletes, and
the Johns Hopkins-5th Regiment
games in Baltimore offer the only other
opportunity for competition except for
those colleges which have athletic as
sooiations rich enough to send men to
northern cities-and such athletic as
sociations in this section are not nu-
merous.
About the only meet of the spring
months in which any athlete may en-
ter is that held for the championship
OF the South Atlantic Association of
the Amateur Athletic Union. Two other
big meets take place. but both are re-
stricted to certain classes. The south
Atlantic intercollegiates offer competi
ton to collegiate members of the or
ganization which fosters the meet, and
the Maryland State College gives Mary
land institutions a chance to show.
1t is probable that the Maryland
State meet will be opened this spring
50 that representatives OF any institu-
tion in the south may take part Mary
land State and Tome School give
scholastic meets and the local high
school championships offer attractive
tests for the five high schools.

others to be considered 1t is certain
that Darcy will want to meet al Mccoy,

Darcy and one Of the big heavyweights.
There has been great deal of con-
troversy regarding the fights between
Darcy and jeff Smith in Australia and
this would be a spledid opportunity for
them to settle the dispute. While
Mccoy claims the title. Gibbons is
looked upon as the real class in the
middleweight division and Mike and
Darcy would be the big noise for a
banner match. Dillon will come in for
lot of consideration. as will Battling
