HOW A FORMER BEREAN STANDS
ON THE TEMPERANCE CUES
TON IN DECATUR COUNTY,
INDIANA

We are pleased TO read in a re-
cent issue OF the Greensburg Daily
Review, Greensburg. Ind, OF the
fight on in that county between
"we,s and drys". our old and tried
friend f. s. Fee is taking the
stand for the right that he is daring
TO take by coming out in a two
column defence for the good. He
surely expresses the thing as II &C
tually exists in all wet territory and
being a resident OF that county for
thirty years gives it more forcibly
on account OF experience and OBJ
servation. The contest was TO be
held on the Goth Of February. II
is hoped that Mr.. Fees hot shot"
had the desired effect on the election
day.

SUNDAY NIaHr SERVICES

In Upper Chapel Sunday night
Doctor Roberts preached q very in
teresting sermon on The Power Ut
Christianity in Life" This address
was especially fitting coming as II
did at the close OF the revival which
has demonstrated this power so
wonderfully. The speaker drew his
facts and illustrations from a wide
field and all who heard him were
not only benefited spiritually but
also learned things Of educational
value.
In Lower Chapel Sunday night the
spirit Of the great revival Of last
week was still prevalent. Mr..
knight spoke on REST" taking his
text Come unto me all We that are
heavy-laden and will give we rest.
The speaker spoke earnestly and ef-
fectually presenting the truth in q
vivid and interesting manner. In
answer TO the invitation given two

Thus the good work goes on and II
is expected that the spirit Of the re-
vival will not soon run cold.

NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL
ASSOCIATION

Berea was well represented at the
meeting OF the National Educational
Association held at Detroit, Mich,
last week by Deans Marsh, Clark,
and Matheny, Professor Calfee and
Mr.. Parker.
The two main questions I'D before
the Association were whether or not
children should be required TO be
thru the eight grades before they be-
gin TO differentiate and TO take Voc
ational Courses, and what vocational
studies young women should take.
On the first proposition the debate
was keen and close and they were
unable TO come TO any decision.
However II was generally agreed
that vocational training should start
early in the educative process.
The problem Of vocational studies
for women was discussed with more
unity than the former question.
The principle thots Of this dis
cussion seemed TO be that women
should be able TO make their own
living II necessary; that they, as
homemakers, should receive ample
training for their work; and that
women taken as a whole, would be
greatly benefited by proper vocation
al work.
Among the speakers who con-
tributed TO the success OF the meet
ing were Hon. p. p. Claxton and Doc
tor Percy who are known 10 Berea
people.
Our delegates not only attended
the Convention, but they also spent
time in visiting points Of interest.
They made an excursion over into
Canada where they report the war
spirit TO be exceedingly high. Here
they saw Rough" Powell, a former
student Of the College Department,
! in the Canadian Army. They went
TO see the Ford Motor Factory
where they were greatly impressed
by the English School which the
Company maintains for its en-
ployees. The curriculum is up-to-
date and il counts among its teach
ers some OF the strongest men OF De-
troit. II is the only school OF its
kind in the world and il is certainly
doing a great work.
The Berea delegation dined sever
al times with old Berea students
such as Rivenberg, Lichtwardt,
Davidson. Robinson and others.
On the return trip Mr.. Parker
stopped in Toledo TO visit Frank
Hoffman Of the class OF IA. Dean Ma
theny visited relatives in northern
Wisconsin.
Every member OF the delegation
returned with new ideas and stron-
ger purposes which will add mater
tally TO the College work.

MAMMOTH BAPTIzING

Sunday afternoon 65 people were
baptized in Main Chapel. Rev. Mr.
Hudson immersed all who chose that
method and Doctor Roberts per-
formed the rite by sprinkling for
those who desired that mode.
These yearly baptizings which
usually occur just after the revival
have become a fixed custom in Be.
rea. The institution clings to the
old apostolic custom of baptizing all
believers whether or not they have
joined any church. Such service

ables them to more easily keep on

WHITEHORSE. HISTORIAN OF
SIOUX INDIANS. is DEAD

Timber Lake. S. D., Jan. 15.-Martin
Whitehorse, the last chief Of the old
Cheyenne River Sioux Indians, head Of
the group known as the Whitehorse
band. died at the home of a grand
daughter near here a few days ago. He
was about Is years old, and although
he leaves a number Of grandchildren,
and a widow, there are no sons or
grandsons to bear the name of White
horse.
When the federal government de-.
clded to remove the Cheyenne Sioux
from Fort Bennett to their present To-
cation on the Cheyenne river reserva-
ton, Whitehorse was selected to choose
the new location. and it was he who.
located the headquarters for the res
ervation on the knoll where the res
ervation agents office is located, the
agency being called Whitehorse, after
the chief. At the time Of the first,
treaty between the Cheyenne Sioux and
government, in 1868, W~hitehorse was
one of the first Indians to cut off his
hair, in recognition of the new regime.
and in acceptance Of the white mans
ways.
Since about the year 1890, the White
horse family had carried on pictorial
history of the Sioux nation, by burn
ing upon wood the leading events in
the Sioux history during the life of the
Chronicler.
