Bible reading
Passages from the Bible were read
in thirteen different languages by
teachers and students. To hear ia

WHY THE BIBLE SHOULD BE
TAUGHT IN THE COUNTRY
SCHOOL.
By Elsie williams

. There are many reasons why the
Bible should he taught in the coun-
try school Perhaps we may say
/ that the first and most important
ono is that il helps those who us,
/ It g. meet the daily needs and duties
|of life. Generally speaking the
country children hear very little
about the Bible. Probably the par.
cntS have never been taught any
thing about II and 81 course they
de- not teach il 10 the children be-
cause they do not realize the inn
portance Of the Bible and its teach.
ing.
Then. If the children have no on
portunity to learn about the Bible
at home. il certainly is necessary T.
teach il in school.
n the Bible is given in the right
way the children will be very much
interested and will find il great
help in later life. II viii supply the
good cheer Of life. While learning
about God they learn To feel the
good thoughts that have moved men
ta action in the DAYS past
We also find that il is the foun-
dation stone of all that's good and
j. the only guide 81 life which
really leads the spirit in the way II
peace and salvation. With these
facts i'm view We can Immediately
SEQ the great need of teaching the
Bible in The country school
Probably another important rea-
son is that many of the parents use
the Bible mostly TO prove some do =
trine or some particular creed. That
is using il merely rs ammunition
against some other fellows creed. n
may be prcdcstination baptism. to-
tai dcpravitv. etc. This will have a
bad effect on the children If they are
allowed 10 grow up in such environ
mcnt without being taught the cor
rect ideas. The time 10 correct the
ideas is when the child is young
They should be taught that the Bible
is daily guide book instead Of a
proof for certain doctrines that
cause people to fall out with their
|ncighbOrs

THE MOUNTAINS NEED THE
COLLEGE DEPARTMENT

Berra is primarily for the noun
tain StudentS-for the benefit Of Ap-
palachian America. With this in
mind some have thought that its
College Department was a detrimeni.
II has been argued that only a small
per cent Of our College students are
from the mountains and those few
do not go back to better their native
region, while the expenses Of the
College Department is proportion
ally large.
The circumstances Of the past few
years have weakened this argument.
The per cent of mountain students
in the College Department has been
steadily increasing, and today you
will find that most Of them intend
to return to their homes To pass on
the good they have received here.
The greater good a College student
can do for Appalachia far out
measures his greater expense to the
College. If these students could get
college training elsewhere. the case
would be different. but few Of us
would ever have gone further than
the secondary schools had Berea
not offered a college course.
Then. too, the College Depart
mrnt is leader in the school. and
a goal toward which less advanced
students are inspired to work. The
College students carry on most Of
the school activities, or AT least take
the most active part and have a
much greater influence on the stu
dent body than a faculty can pos
sihlv have.
The department also adds pres
lire To the school, and through il all
receive many advan-
tagcS which they could not other
wise have had am sure that
none who know Beroa College will
say that the money invested in f
is money spent in vain.

flowers such as monthly roses or

DOCTOR GuNsAuLUs HERE.

The students Of Berea have been
looking forward To the coming Oi
Dr. Frank w. Gunsaulus for several
weeks. Their expectations were
realized last Wednesday afternoon.
Doctor Gunsaulus arrived on the
noon train and addressed the entire
student body with many friends at
2 o'clock. This was a stereopticOn
lecture on industrial Art" He show
cd slides exhibiting one OF the most
valuable and beautiful collections OF
pottery now in existence. He said
that clay for making this pottery
existed only in and around the Holy
Land and in Appalachian America.
The central thought Of his lecture
was that the best education is that
in which the head. heart, and hand,
combined into one unit. form the
wonderful organism which would
he trained.
Wednesday night he spoke on
shakespeare and the Bible" This
was one Of the most masterful in
tcrpretations Of Shakespeare ever
given in Berea. He maintained that
Shakespeare wrote just as the Bib
lical writers. the things that are
true for all time.
The last lecture was given on
Thursday morning. This was a ser
mon on the conversion Of Paul. IL
was powerful and comprehensive.
He gave an Interpretation which
many had never heard before. His
eloquent presentation of the theme
was inspiring.
Rereans are indeed fortunate to
have heard Doctor Gunsaulus on
these topics. He is leading edu-

The game was very close and
holly contested. Each team made
costly errors. yet the score was tied

A PARABLE FOR GIRLS

silver looms to use. on these each
one was to weave golden cloak

iokcd with her about the Prince
Each day he would ask her how her
cloak was coming on When the
curly-haircd shepherd lad or gal
liant troubadour passed by h" would
say. "Is that the one. is that the
once" until the Girl forgot that such
things were sacred, and her fanc"
wandered everywhere She would
weave first FOR one and then for an
other. but one day a brave and
Noble knight came riding by and
she felt that here ai last was the
Prince 50 she ran and cut the
golden thrcads, and gaily handed
the cloak to him. Tie threw II over
hi, shoulders. but alas. II fitted
not. for il had been woven this
way and that. not straight and
true. So he sadly looked upon her
and rode away.
Tie second weaver told his daugh-
ter nothing. lie gave her the loom
and she took il and wovc in secret
She thought she loved the first
pair of dark eyes that looked upon
her. So she wovc the cloak Tor him
dav and night. and gave II 10 him
But she was Young and he WI
young and the cloak fitted not. She
laid il away and began to wcav"
another. Soon, she too saw a noble
knight come riding 10 her door
She cut the golden threads, bal
alas. So tall and strong was the
knight. the cloak barely covered ms
shoulders. At last she realized what
she had done. She had given away
her cloak. thouGhtlessly, TO the first
one that had asked for il and when
lac who would have been her lover
true, came by, she had nothing left
for him. So he, too, gazed sadly up
ON her and rode away.
= But the third weaver was Wise
and loving. lie gave his daughter
/ the loom and with il silver yard
stick. As each sutton for her hane
came by. she measured him will
her fathers yard-stick, and unit
ne measured true. she cut not thu
threads Of her golden cloak, buI
wove il straight and true. On thu
yard-stick were three notches ant
these they were: True, Clean, anC

At last. Ia her door also tn
Prince came riding. He measured
