serNation was made for Meharry stu

the space allotted. The auditorium
was well filled and each number of

ed by the Hon. John Bell Keeble was
most fitting for the occasion 1t
breathed the spirit of lofty patriotism
eminating from pure heart. Meharry
claims large interest in Company

gallant sons is leader. A deep patri-
otto spirit pervades the entire cam.

belong to our own Uncle Sam
and they are here in our class rooms
pursuing professional studies prepar
ing for the day when their services
will be needed.
Sunday Service.
The spacious Meharry Auditorium
was well filled last Sunday to enjoy
the eloquent and impressive sermon

University. DR.. Morrow deeply i'm
pressed all of his hearers with the
Importance of using every opportunity
presented and be on the alert for op
portunities which it is possible tc
make for themselves. The sermon
was deeply spiritual, thoroughly prac
teal.
DR.. Neil, of the department of Den
tistry, addressed the Meharry Y. NJ
C. A. on last Sunday. Those present
heard him gladly. The Meharry Y
M. G.. A. has membership of about

What are doing for this town?
What are you doing to justify
your citizenship in this town.
You can not sit down, criticise,
let others do the work that makes
a town or community, and still
call yourself a good citizen.
The good citizen never thinks
only of self He must necessarily
think of self or he would not sur
vive, but good citizenship requires
more than that-much more.
1t requires that you keep in mind
that. there are others who have
rights and are entitled to have
those rights respected by others
by you. On the same basis you
are entitled to have your rights
equally respected by them.
That is good citizenship-par-

MONTGOMERY COUNTY BOY
MAKES SPLENDID RECORD

The following article from the
Kansas City Times will be Of in.
terest to many Of our people, as
Rev. II. c. Rogers was born and
reared in this city. Rev. Rogers is
a son of Mr.. and Mrs. 7. F. Rogers,
of this city, and has many friends
here:
"Nine years, throughout the min
istry of the Rev. Harry c. Rogers,
the Linwood Presbyterian church
has been preparing to establish a
home for orphan children. The
church has built new edifce for
its home; it has had camps for
convalescents; it has organized
mammoth Bible classes; it has in
creased its membership five hundred
in year; but MS dream steadfastly
has been an orphans home.
"Four years ago a So gold piece
started the fund. Seven hundred
dollars had accumulated two weeks
ago when call was made for
$4,000 to start the work. Three
contributions should bring in that
much, Doctor Rogers suggested.
Promptly two members subscribed
$1,000 About the other third Doc
tor Rogers told his congregation
yesterday morning. He began by
reading:
"And Jesus sat over against the
treasury and beheld how the people
cast, money into the treasury and
many that were rich cast in much.
"And there came a poor widow,
and she threw in two mites, which
make a farthing
"And he called unto him his dis
ciples, and saith unto them, Verify,
say unto thee that this poor widow
hath cast more in than all they which
have cast into the treasury.
For they did cast in of their abun-
dance. but she of her want did cast
in all that she had, even all her liv-
ing"
~ large audience listened while
Doctor Rogers told how he had
gone to Cincinnati to attend
church convention with the weight
on his mind of the problem of es-
tablishing the only orphanage of his
church in Missouri. On returning
from Cincinnati, Doctor Rogers
he learned from his wife
that a woman wage Garner had ask
ed to be the contributor of the third
part of the $4,000.
Doctor Rogers said the woman
had worked a dozen or more years,
saving up $4,000; she was giving
1888 to the orphanage. She had |
told him the chance to give to the
was, she felt, the oppor-
tunity of her lifetime. She was CIV
ing as a missionary gives, and as
the woman in the scripture lesson
had given-'her life.' A silence
crept into the church as Doctor
Rogers read a letter from the giver.
1t contained this passage:
"Our God, who does so much for |
even the weakest of us day by day,
yes, hour by hour, right amid the
thick press of work, that we are of.
ten constrained to go to him with
and praise, is worthy
Of more than has ever been given to

own that has been given back to him
for his glory surely deserves no men.
ton when we remember that the
cattle on a thousand hills are his.
"The name of the woman was not
given. The service closed with the
audience thinking of the words of
Doctor Rogers: This is sublime
sacrifice that we dare not refuse;
it is the giving of a life"

Perhaps no scheme. of life half
I so pernicious has ever been pro-
mulgated by sane men in any age Of
the world. True, nature, in the
person of the brute, work strictly
along this line. 1t is absolutely
necessary there. 1t is necessary
from the fact unless every energy
) of the brute were given to the task
of preserving self, then self, as
) represented by the brute, would
soon cease to exist.
Scientists define the difference
between man and the brute thusly:
The brute knows. but knows not
that it knows. Man knows, and
knows that he knows. And in these
truths lie the great danger to hui
mainly of the Survival of the fit
test" theory. The brute, knowing
not that it knows, recognizes abso-
utely no rights but it's own. For
it the question of right does not
exist Nature has equipped it to
make of self the very best speci-
men possible, even to the absorbing
in many instances of the rights
and very persons of all others.
That is its first instinct, and were
any other course followed it would
be fatal to the life of the brute
creation.
But when, through the faithful
adherence to this primal instinct,
the brute has reached brute per-
lection - well, it's nothing but
brute anyway A magnificent brute
it may be, but merely brute.
With man. however, the reverse
is true. Knowing, and knowing
that he knows, he consequently
must know that he has rights. That
being the case. he is compelled to
know that all others (who are in
every way as essential as himself)
must have rights coequal with his
own. Therein lies his utter futility
of attempting to usurp any of the
rights of others without doing vio-
lence to his own character. In
brief, the moment he attempts to
survive at the expense of the weak
or brother, just that moment he
becomes most emphatically the
''unfttest" in every sense of the
brute sense. He becomes as the
brute.
So much for "the survival of the
fittest."
But what about the survival of
the "unfttest?"
That is a subject that might well
engage the attention of the advo-
Gates of eugenics and other would |
be "uplifters" of the human race. |
Go after the man who has never
had chance and give him a char
acter. Lift up the brother who
has fallen by the way and start him
on the road again. Encourage the
Respondent. Help the weak. Strive |
to equaize the burdens of life. If |
all would act thus there would soon
be no unfit. All would be fit.
"The survival of the fttest," as
applied to man, means race of
splendid brutes.
The "revival of the unfittest," as
applied to man, means an ultimate
approach to the grand ideal con-
ceived in his creation. 'Tn the
image Of his Maker"

ance to one phrase which should
make his name immortal, will make

RED HEADS STRANGE PEOPLE
Last of the 5aal Norshipers Engage in Two Occupations, Agriculture
 and Theft.

The other day there was the report that some of our soldiers on the Tigris had come across village of Red Heads, writes ]. c. Brstow Noble in the London Globe. Strange people are these Baal worShippers. The men wear red caps, hence their name Red Heads. They also wear red knotted cords around their necks. The cord is put on during babyhood and is never removed. It is inferred with the body after death. They shave their heads except for a patch on the top, and here they allow the hair to grow long and plait it into pigtails, which hang about their ears. They are tall, wiry fellows. with enormous appetites for both food and drink.
The Prescott daily news., 1917-10-30

The women, who do noc vei! them- selves, and who dress simply in loose fitting garments, are thin and spare, but wonderfully strong. In their homes they wear brooches as well as skirts. There is no wife beating among the Red Heads, but plenty of husband beating. The husbands take their ire quent chastisements meekly and pa tiently. They employ themselves, both the women and the men, in agriculture and theft They produce a couple of crops-tobaccO and durra; the rest of their time is given up to footing the Turks crops and cattle. Their little whiteWashed, lOw-rOofed dwellings with small unglazed, but shuttered, windows are divided into three apart ments; a kitchen, a guest room, a sleeping room. A few earthenware jars, about five feet in height and filled with grain and dried fruits, are kept in the guest room, and the guests help themselves.
