The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1920-11-10

Two travelling men were conversing
yesterday afternoon at the Gilmer
Hotel. Noticing a peeuliar-looking
watch charm one was wearing, the
other said: "What kind Of a charm
is that, anyway" His friend respond
ed, "That is a piece Of bone from my
grandfather's right arm. In the bat
tie of Charlottesville a Yankee bull
let shattered his right forearm. When
the member was amputated he slip
ped a piece Of the bone in his KNAPP
sack. Several years afterwards he
gave me the piece Of bone as a SOU
venir, and l had a jeweler make it into
a watch charm" His companion ex-
amined the charm still closer and
said, But | didn't think human bones
took on such a high polish" The
owner of the charm drew little clos
err and said, confdentially, "You see
my grandfather was a Mississippian,
and he was a very polished gentle
man."

From The SPECTATOR

Ut IOli 1HC OpCNldlOIJ
DR.. w. d. Weatherford, President
of the Southern College of the Y. M.
c. A. in Nashville, Tenn, who was in
Columbus in the interest Of the Hi-Y
boys, spoke at an early vesper SER
vice at the college Sunday afternoon.
He is an exceptionally forceful speak
err, and the meeting was one Of the
most impressive services ever held
here.
DR.. Weatherford is also President
of the Blue Ridge Association and in
charge at Blue Ridge during the sum-
mer months. All the girls who have
ever been to Blue Ridge, either to
a conference or to spend the summer
as members of the large college work
ing force there, welcomed him as
an old friend.
DIR. Weatherford is recognized as
one OF the biggest men in Y. M. G. A.
work in the South, and is also an en-
inent authority upon the race prob
lem in the South.
He took for his subject, "Christian
Leadership. He gave a short descrip-

significance of the shadow of mighty
rock giving refuge from the burning
sun. So also does the shadow of a

great and good person afford a re-
.fuge for many people Far greater
than word, theories and creeds is the
influence Of a life which rings true.
The great need Of the world today is
for leaders. There are so many more
followers than there are leaders. Any
one can be a follower. Only a few
will be leaders. It is not usually
question Of ability but Of win power
that makes the difference between the
leader and the follower.
It is so much easier to follow. To
lead takes courage, the courage to
stand for convictions, to be true to the
best we know in the face of criticism,
opposition and unpopularity. To
illustrate DR.. Weatherford told the
story from Rugby of the timid boy
who was brave enough to kneel and
say his prayers when no one else did,
and of the far-reaching influence on
the school that one act had.
There are few who have not an
intellectual belief in God. The great
need is for working faith in a per-
sonal God. A so-called atheist in the
University of Texas was converted
from close observation of the life of
a Y. M. c. A. Secretary, a strong
man who had definite hold on God.
The Atheist said, "He has something,
j haven't and | can't account for it
unless it's God" That man with his
great faith was a strong rock for
the weak, the troubled, the doubling.
All leadership involves willingness
to sacrifice. Sometimes the sacrifice
is of time, Of personal desires and
pet sins. Sometimes it is of life itself
The story Of horace Tracy Pittkin
was told. During four years in Yale
he, who was one of the weathiest and
most popular men there, gave up
much of his time to working among
the poor little ignorant boys of the
street. His work was not from duty
but love. Years after in China he
gave up his life during the Boxer
Uprising, and by that greatest Of all
sacrifices made the students of China
desire to know his God.
DIR. Weatherford's talk was a won
derful appeal to us to be leaders of
the highest type, Christian leaders.
