The six-day revival campaign
which was conducted in the College
Chapel by the Rev. j. T.. Conant
came 10 a close last Friday evening.
Berea has witnessed many evan
gelistic meetings during the past
years, but in none has the genuine
revival spirit been more evident
than in the services Of the past
week.

Bible expositions were faithful and
fearless, but withal uttered in the
spirit Of love.
That Berca believes in the "old
time religion" was evidenced by the
interest manifested on the part Of
citizens as we'll as the student body
and faculty. The large auditorium
was filled each night, and the total
number Of conversions reported is
over $50.
His sermon on Wednesday night
was based on the text Hosea PC. and
dealt with various hedges which God
throws around our lives TO lead us
TO Himself. He stated that many
people were running away from
Gods love. care and salvation, and
He would hedge their way with
thOrns to make il hard TO be lost.
The hedges referred TO were CD
The hedge Of nature; (2) The hedge
of conscience; (3) The hedge Of
Providence; ca The thorns Of Cal

the love Of God.
Thursday night the message was
presented in the nature Of bids
which are made by Jesus Christ and
by satan for the souls Of men. With
consistent reasoning the speaker
dealt with the various ruses which
satan employees to lead people to-
lose eternal life. Fame, wealth,
pleasure. and even religion were
suggested as bids which the great
adversary makes for souls. His bid

A project for the construction Of
an experimental rigid dirigible bal
loon of the type Familiarity known
as the Zeppelin, was included in the
plans of the Navy Department when
the PENDING naval appropriation bill
was submitted to Congress. 1t
would have cost several million dol
lars and a part of the scheme would
have been the bringing TO the United
States one of the most modern Ger
man air cruisers as a model.
The House eliminated this provis-
ion from the bill but naval officers
said recently they hoped the Senate
would restore it. They believe that
future developments with lighter
than-air craft will be great, both
for military and commercial pur-
poses and are anxious to keep ahead
or at least abreast of what European
countries may do in this regard.

The German Assembly has begun
its session at Weimar, in Baden.
The opening was orderly and among
the members are many who sat in
the Reichstag Of the former govern
ment. There will be an advantage
in having a body of men who have
experience in government affairs,
rather than a set of theorists. The
Socialist party which controls has
stood in German affairs for demo-
cratic government and is not an
extremely radical party.
The Provisional Chancellor, Ebert,
in his opening speech uttered a
warning to the allies that they
should not make terms that are too
hard for Germany to bear. He de-
clared that the allies sought TO de-
strOy kaiserism and the military
system and claimed that both had
disappeared forever. The revolu-
tiOnary government could not be
held responsible for the deeds of the
former regime was his plea.
