SCHOOL NOTES
Chapel Periods

The last two chapel periods have
been altogether excellent A week
ago Tuesday Rev. Harner Of this city
spoke to the students on the 'Twen-
tieth Century's Ideal Man."
THE upbuilding of mankind he
said. ''is the most worthy goal toward
which we may direct our efioits- We
should take humanity for an end. and
perfect ourselves that we may per.
feet humanity. The greatest enter.
prise in all the world is the building
OF Christian men and women. Naro,
leon once said, There are millions
upon millions of men and. women in
the world today. but very few OF
them measure up to what may reason.
ably he expected II them..
Many different types OF men have
represented the worlds ideal at ,ari-
Gus times. Ancienh Sparta took the
athletic man as her ideal amt paid
particular attention TO this side of a
manr development In so doing she
lost sight OF the spiritual and msntal
goals. And so that ideal founded. MP
IN the animalistic nature. failed.
For years the ascstic or anchoEffe.
was the ideal man.. Those two class
e4 meant we'll. but any man who, fails
to mix with his fellows. to rub shazl-
der win shoulder in the daily walks
OF lie. d not fulfilling his whole mis-
sion On earth
For a long while the patriot. WAS
the accepted ideal. But patriotism.
gioEiaux az IL is. has its dangera- 1t
may cause narrowness and clannish-
ness and those are perils to be shun-
ned
Many centuries have taken the. In
itella<xuzf man as their ideal Gresce
paid her allegiance to this type and
produced the greatest thinkers the
world has ever known. but she neglect
ed the spiritual side. and the ideal
failed because il did not produce we'll
iroun&ed lives.
Rome took ths civic man as her
IDEAL. and built an empire SO wonder
ful and so mighty az to encompass the
known world. But Rome lies trdiAy. a
heap OF ashes. crumbling in tho dust.
because she crirahed the individual be;
meath the demands OF the state.
The Twentieth Century has taken
the Christian man as its IDEAL aud
looks to the life OF Jesus OF Nazareth.
az its guids<. Fer the Man ef GaIiiee
taught that the well.rounded nature
is the psrfeet one.
There are four precers=s N the life
of Jesus that We should. enedavor to
follow. We should be uAgnanimous. Z.
for Jesus was ever So. We should he
courteous. No man was ever so firm
In his dealings as Jesrs. but his lie
was n model OF true courtesy at all
times We should be courageons.
While Jesus was ever gentle and kind.
he possessed great courage. II requires
courase both moral and physical to
stand for ones convictions in the face
of opposition and ridicule. but the
Twentieth century expects IL OF its
IDEAL man.
We should lie pure--pure in tbot.
In word. and In action. The Son OF
God was the purest man that ever
lived. and II you would measure up
to the ideal OF yonr age. you must
follow In his foot steps. The world
looks down upon one. and society
casts out the man or woman OF un.
lean thot and speech.
We should entertain ideals as did
iesus. And the highest ideal we can
bring into our lives is the true serv-
Ing of God and our feilowman."
Last Tuesday Mr.. ta;=haw. n nsticn.
