Last Letter,
Tampa Tribune.)

Tampa Tribune.)
A beautiful letter written by Edith
Cavell on the night before her execu-
ton to the young nurses associated
with her at the time of her death and
for few years previously has recent
ly been made public. 1t is so full of
worthwhile sayings, so beautifully
generous, that it should be read
wherever there are people who adj
mire courage and a clear outlook up
on life. A part Of the letter is as
follows:
Il hope that you will not forget our
evening talks. ! told you that devo-
ton to duty would bring you true
happiness and that the knowledge
that you had done your duty earnest
ly before God and your own con-
science would be your greatest sup
port in the trying moments Of life
and in the face of death.
Zone more word-beware of un.
charitable speech. In these eight
years ! have seen so much unnappi-
ness which could have been avoided if
u few words had not been whispered
here and there, perhaps without evil
intention, but which ruined tie repu-
tation, the happiness, the life IF some
enc. My nurses should reflect u, IN
this and cultivate loyalty and esprit
de corps"
1t was such woman as this who
was foully put to death by German
command. but who "being dead, yet
speaketh."

THINKING STRAIGHT"
THEME OF REV. H. 5. HUDSONS ADDRESS IN BACCA
LAUREATE SERMON TO GRADUATING CLASS
OF LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL.

Are we able to discern as we
should the signs Of the times?
Our Lord and Savior while He
walked among men upon the earth,
asked the question with n sting and a
rebuke. He addressed it to men
high up in the pictures and positions
in church and state, to men Of inteili-
gence and education. "Can ye not
discern the signs Of the times? o
We hypocritcs! ye can discern the
face Of the sky" Those addressed
were expert in interpreting the signs
Of the weather. But Judah had fall
en- under the heel Of Rome. She was
dependent politically and morally and
, spiritually dead or dying. He. Christ,
was in their midst with the power
they needed to save and elevate to
secure and saving position but they
were blind to their needs as well as
needs and possibilities Of the world.
We, too can discern the signs OF
.
the west with a golden beauty We say
1t will be fair weather tomorrow, If
he rises in the morning with IA red and
angry expression we say u viii be
foul weather today.
But "can we discern the sign o..
the times" In answering tins CUES
ton We must ask another and frI Is
answer viz What is involved in
straight thinking.
The first thing is faith.
Faith in the Living God is fdnda-
I mental in all true thinking.
We are living in an age Of mental
and spiritual confusion.
Some do not know what to thing
about religious matters. tThey have
read or heard Of some new discover
les being made. Some things have
been dug up. new light upon the Chris
tian religion has come, But have not
thought through to a satisfactory
conclusion.
Some have suspended judgment be-
cause they think there are two sides
70 every question and have never de-
cided for or against the Son Of God.
Some are extremely orthodox and
fear to welcome new light and weight
and decide in view Of the new evil
dence.
Faith is not simply credibility or
superstition.
The first demand in life is faith,
Jesus began his ministry by urging
men to believe. "Ye believe in God
believe also in me-" "These things
have ! said that ye might believe"
He was looking for faith and when
He found it. He always commended
80 woman great is thy faith" 81
have not found so great faith" etc.
He could do the individual nor the
world no good without faith. HE
could do no mighty works among
them because Of their unbelief".
Faith in the Bible usage means
just what it means in every day af-
fairs.
When man has money to loan
andsays II did not let that man have
the money because ! had no faith in
him."

Introduction: There are many
problems before the minds OF men
today to be solved. Many issues
confronting to be disposed OF.
Many questions to be answered. 1t
is a time Of big things.

country. After climbing up on the
scaffold which had been arranged to

turned toward those who were as
sembled to catch the idea Of what II
meant to her, with her face beaming
with expression, she calmly said.

SO today as we look out upon the
world Of human activity. as We call
into play all our powers OF discern
ment from the vantage ground OF the
Christian view point and turn to give
expression. in few words. Of w1at
our conception is we must eNclaim
"Scme problems.
The demand Of the hour Is for
Thinkers, Straight Thinkers,
which means those who can thifN
clearly. those who can think things
through. and arrive at correct con
illusions.
Robins heroic sculpture, The
Thinker" which stands before the
Pantheon. in Paris. in literature for
promoting recent Liberty Loan cam
paigns, was adopted as symbol OF
the kind Of citizens America most re-
auires Just now. The suggestion is
indeed appropriate. For in every
phase Of civilization today the great
est need is for thinkers. IL is Tact
although some assume to doubt It.
Ideas still rule the world The
tremendous limbs. the strong arms
and hardest muscles Of Robins figure
also permit this Interpretation for the
TRUE thinker always Is the worlds

The unthinking may appear to be
brilliant and may seem to be eminent

What then. my young friends, are
the qualities which 20 to make up a
true thinker! A thinker whose
ideas have power!
We could not be far wrong II we
say they are three.
1. The thinker comprehends
clearly the facts Of the time in which
he lives.
9. He accurately conceives the
possibilities Of times ahead either I'M
mediate or far distant.
3. He understands the minds and
motives Of his contemporaries and
how TO sway them.

SEEN. In regard to myself AMI the
| world this is true. and it is the first
step in true thinking. Fundamental
to any life of worth or purpose.
The sacred thing involved ~ true
thinking is Reason.
The Christian religion claims the
entire man for God No faculty or
power Of his nature is neglected or
overlooked. "Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind and with all thy strength. The
great adjective ALL is used four
times to make il impossible to err.
But not outstanding the explicit
teaching Of the word Of God, the i'm
preston has gotten abroad that faith
and reason are opposed to each other,
that both can not flourish in the same
man at the same time, that If man
wants to be a man Of faith, he must
not think deeply and that il he al
lows his reason free course it is to
20 hard with his faith.
Whereas the truth is, the Rule Of
Faith and practice and the author Of
our Faith. both invite and welcome
the strictest test Of Reason.
The straight thinker will apply the
test of his reason. will analize and
dissect.
The very usecf words has led many
70 false conclusion.
An infdel is usually known as a
Free Thinker. The word itself
would discourage a Christians use Of
his reason. II man who rejects
Christianity is a free thinker, the i'm
plication is that a man who accepts
it, is a person whose reason is bound
with fetters. But it is unfair. A
Christian has a right to think just as
freely as any other man. II a skeptc

because the getaway of horse one near

on horses two and three.
1T will be noticed in practically ev-

as fast in breaking as the others, usual

Mobile. November ~ Especial The
| Howard bull dog returned to its kennel
tanned but unmuzzled. BY playing su-
perior brand of football in tht first quar-
ter, which enabled them to score a 6-point
advantage, the Howard machine was able
to mold Spring Hill to 6-to-6 tie. although
the Purple and White warriors showed to
a decided advantage in the second half
Dame Fortune was no friend of Spring
Hill yesterday. The breaks of the game
went invariably to the Bull Dogs and the
Hillians earned every inch of the terrain
they captured. There can be no gainsay-
ing the fact that the Hillians were the
most formidable aggregation on the field
They outplayed Howard in every depart
ment Of the game
Both teams played an over-anxious
game and the showing of either eleven as
a whole was hot brilliant. Spring Hill
produced both the outstanding stars of the
game in Hattcrman and Hastings. The
former. at the pivot was at all times mas
ter of the line. ano had it not been for his
wonderful defensive work there might
have been different tale to tell Hast

time ne smashed through the stubborn
Howard defense for lengthy gains and
first downs WALKER. the diminutive How
ard quarterback. was the outstanding
star for the visitors. The defensive work
of Newman. Howard, Wingling, was also
wortny of note. On the shrill of the first
whistle Howard launched its mighty CT
fensive showing better in the first quarter
than IN any other period of the game.
A pass netting Il yards came as the first
warning to Spring Hill on the initial play
after the ball had been run back from
Kickoff Failing at two more attempts
at passing. Newman punted to Spring
