On last Saturday evening at s

Paintsville. were solemniZed the
rights of matrimOny between Mr..
l.. ID. Wolfe and Miss Lillian New
conner, Rev. II. c. SOwards, Ofliciat-
ing.
Mr.. Wolfe comes of one of the
good families of Virginia and his
home is in Cleveland of the same
state.
Miss Newcomer comes of Kansas
stock and birth. She is one Of the
wonderful products for which Kan
sas is noted. She is worthy and we'll
qualified for the venture which she
has now entered upon.
The romance that has now ended
in this happy and most congenial
union, had its beginning in Berea
College where the groom and bride
were school mates some years ago.
If schools and churches would take
more interest in seeing that their
young people are properly discov-
cred and congenially mated, we
might have some hopes of the mil
lenial dawn. What greater service
can an institution render society
than to guarantee it happy home?
Among the relatives that were
present were: A. J. fWolfe, brother
Of the groom and a school man
of high standing, who was a teacher
on Daniels Greek in Johnson county
about thirty years ago, but is now
one of the leading city superin-
tendents of his native State; Miss

DEAN BROWN OF YALE AT

colleges Of the south. He addressed
the United Chapel on Friday morn

spired the faculty and student body
with his timely address on Life
Service
He pointed out that the only
knowledge worth while is that
which can be translated into life.
but that too often tncie had been
a great separation between the aca-
demic and real life. One should
be able TO serve ones own commun-
ity.
I'm the matter of a choice of life
work he urged that it be not made
too soon. One should first look
carefully over his capabilities, and
know the vocatims we'll enough to
make wise choice. The work
chosen should dominate ones whole
career. Life's work will be judged
and rewarded by the way 1t has
served some human need. Only the
man gets up in the world and stays
there who belongs there.
The speaker made it clear that
the present time and the times a
head of us are more intricate and
more difficult than those thru which
our fathers have passed. The high |
ideals which were held prior to the
signing of the armistice had in all
too large a measure been replaced |
by partisanship, politics, greed, etc.
Never then has there been a sime
when it was so necessary TO choose
ones life work in the light of high |
ideals.

tive for doing right the words of
