" WELL GLORY I"

A great achievement was accom-
plished in the gymnasium Monday
afternoon when the Vocational Bias.
ket-ball quintet overcams the Nor
NAL team by a score-of 20 TO "a. The
department was out in a body TO give
the team good backing, and should
be complimented very highly on
their loyalty 10 their representa-
tives. Our team has won the three
games that we have played with the
other departments without any
losses, thus putting us in the series.
Now IL is for the bunch which so
loyalty supported us Monday TO keep
the spirit up until we get thru the
series.
When we win in a ball game, we
like TO tell about our victory in The
Citizen and in conversation. And IL
is easy TO talk about a ball game.
One boy came TO the writer three
times trying TO sell him a ticket 10
the observation-disclosures Game. Per-
sistent in the matter. We like the
spirit and enthusiasm, they are fine.
But listen We are mighty glad so
many Of our Vocational boys and
girls have placed First Things
First" this past week. They have
won q victory. A real victory.
We are all happy and congratulate
you. Your friends have been per-
sistent in praying and persuading
you TO give your life to Jesus. You
have purchased ticket, properly
stamped by the blood, for the great
game of Righteousness. You will not
escape temptation. Christ himself
was tempted. Never place yourself
in the way Of temptation voluntarily,
however. God will deliver from
temptations and use them
as a means Of acquiring strength.

PENNSYLVANIA TAKES REVENGE

Remembering the defeat which
they received on their own floor at
the hands Of the Berea quintet, the
Pennsylvania ball-tossers came 10
Berea Monday afternoon to avenge
their stolen honors. The last inter-
collegiate game of the season was
staged Monday night which was won
by the Pennsylvania team, 81 to %.
The game was fast and, for the most
part we'll played. Berea was in the
lead at the end of the first half, but
could not hold its advantage. The
absence of Hill, the Varsity's star
guard, was keenly felt. The work
OF Colby and Neal for the local ag-
gregation was especially worthy of
mention.

KNOW THY SELF

This ancient injunction seemingly
has been contradicted by the sweep
ing changes that have taken place
in human life within the past half
century. No logger does every CON-
munity boast its rural hermit who
occupies his entire time in know
ing himself" No longer does the
westerner live many miles from his
nearest neighbor. More and more
are we relying upon, depending up
on, and actually existing in, others.
There are men not so very old, who
remember the time when the rural
people Of our own commonwealth
raised the material for and made
their own clothing, "cobbled' their
own shoes and depended upon no
one else for their sustenance. That
time has gone and forever. No
longer shall we hear Of the simple,
self-sustaining people, save in the
old mans tale. This simple life has
given way to a life Of intercourse
and dependence. Independence is
sweet but dependence is conducive
10 a higher civilization. Just as we
are outwardly polished by coming
into contact with many people, so
are we inwardly stimulated by
knowing many personalities.
Society, however, has its dangers.
We face the danger Of losing our
own individuality. Society and in
tercOurse are good, but society "un-
alleged" makes of q man a chatter
ing parrot. In our hurry of modern
civilization we are apt TO overlook
the two great essentials of life and
over develop the community, neglect
ing the individual. IL is a problem
to secure the proper ratio, and il
must be rightly solved or our society
will lose much Of its personality
and backbone. The manly traits Of
our forefathers will become only
relics Of The past.
For the true path we are forced to
look back TO the life Of the perfect
Nazarene, who lived unto himself in
the wilderness and in the noun
tains, and unto others in the cities
and marketplaces.
Do we. as Academy students.
rightly divide life? Do we slip away
from our friends. into our rooms
alone and there meet ourselves
face to face? And do we then live
with our fellow students as we
In being part Of the Acad-
envy are we ourselves?

THE REVIVAL
Large Response to Strong Appeal

Large Response to Strong Appeals
The Chapel has never seen larger
succeeding audiences than faced the
Rev. r. f. Neighbour as night after
night ne proclaimed in fearless love
the Gospel message. The seating ca.
pacity was reached nearly every
night and on Sunday night many
had 10 stand.
Brother Neighbours sermons were
clear, forcible, and adhered TO estab-
lished evangelical lines. He preached
redemption not by works but thru
Christ as the only Saviour.
From the first there was notable
response Of inquiries. Each night
the inquiry rooms were well filled,
and at the last they overlooked. In
all about four hundred persons pre-
sented themselves seekers after
Christ.
On Monday beautiful Baptismal
service was conducted by Brother
Neighbour in the Chapel when thirty
young persons were immersed.
A gratifying feature Of the meet
ings was the satisfaction reached by
many or evidenced in ready and
clear testimony.
A most fruitful service followed
the reception to Mr.. Neighbour in
the Union Church Thursday after
noon when many Christians took an
advanced step in the Christian life.
Mr.. Charles Neighbour directed
and led the music with marked eff
feet. He certainly got the people to
singing. His services added much to
the meeting.
The people of Berea owe much 10
and send thanks to the Peoples
Tabernacle, of Augusta, Ca, for send
ing us their gifted pastor and his son
for this week Of fruitful service.

COMMON POINTS IN RELIGION

The above was the topic discussed
at the meeting Of the Young Mems
Christian Association Sunday night.
Professor Messner of the College
Faculty was the leader. He spoke
OF the basic principles of a true re-
ligion which all denominations agree
on, saying that they are far more
important than the minor points
which so much time is spent in
wrangling. The larger principles
OF life were presented which are not
subject TO creed or form, but under
lie all religions which make for the
betterment Of mankind. This meet
ing did much TO simplify the problem
in the minds Of many OF the hearers
in regard 10 our fundamental rela-
tions to Deity.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, IN
FOUNDATION SCHOOL

Believing that young people will
remember a thing longer and better
by acting or doing the thing than by
reading about IL, we, with this point
in view, have organized ourselves, at
the request Of our teacher, Mrs.
Marsh, into House OF Representa-
tives.
We assembled in our usual order,
and after the roll was called, which
showed quorum, we proceeded 10
the election Of speaker, Odus
Gooch, sergeantat-arms, Gus Rice,
Clerk, VIM Roberts, etc., and then
after the Representatives had been
sworn in we proceeded with bust
ness.
Several important bills we're brot
before the House: such as The Pres
ervation Of Our Water Power; Wom-
an Suffrage; Commerce Naval Az
fairs; Military Affairs; and a score
Of others.
The main object in view Is to
teach us young people how our gov
eminent is controlled and carried
on, and 10 get us started on the
right road toward good citizenship.
Next week we are going TO organ
ize a Senate; and with bright hopes
for the future, we are looking for
ward with great happiness.

We beg to advise our gas custom
ers that our present supply OF gas
fuel will last until sometime Thurs
day, Nov. Sth, and unless we receive
an additional supply by that time, we
will be forced to shut down. The gas
coal situation is extremely serious at
the present time. The mines are
producing about fifty per cent. of
their normal output, but we have
been fortunate in securing to date
seventy-eight per cent. of our con-
tract supply. Under normal condi-
tions this supply would have been
sufficient, but this year the present
high prices of wood and coal have
caused a much larger use Of gas. We
have supply of gas coal enroute
from mine to Baltimore, and we arc
holding at Baltimore, at heavy ex-
pense, a boat to bring this fuel tc
Cambridge. Everything possible is
being done to rush delivery. But as
the coal has not yet reached Balti-
more, we fear that it will not arrive
before our present supply of coal
runs out.
We are, therefore, advising our
customers of the situation, SO that
they will understand the reason in
case it becomes necessary to shut Off
the supply of gas. In any event, the
interim will probably be of short du-
ration, as the gas coal is expected at
any time, and under normal transit
conditions would have been received
before this time.
