SERMONS We SEE.

Ia rather see "a sermon than hear one

ia rather one would walk with me
than merely tell the way.
The eyes better pupil and more will

Fine counsel is confusing. but exam
pies always clear
And the best OF all the preachers are
the men who live their creeds.
For to see good put in action is what
everybody needs.
I can soon learn how to do It II you'll
let me see IL done

And the lectures you deliver may be
very wise and true.
But Ia rather get my lessons by oh
serving what you do.
For ! may misunderstood you and the
high advice you give,
But there's no misunderstanding how
you act aud how you live.
When I see a deed Of Kindness am
eager to be kind
When q weaker brother stumhles and
a strong man stays behind
Just to see If he can help him. then the
wish grows strong in me
To become as big and thoughtful as
know that friend to be.
And all travellers can witness that the
best of guides to-day
Is not the one who tells them, but the
one who shows the way,
one good man teaches many. they be-
lieve what they behold.
One deed Of kindness noticed is worth
forty that are told.
Who stands with men OF honor learns
to hold his honor dear.
For right living speaks a language
whicht everyone is clear.

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one

what the basis OF their claim Is IL Is
hard TO say. 10 is true that az many
colleges athletic ability Is the only

tions do not exist at Delaware. Dur

prominent athletes were not allowed

few entrance credits. One athlete was

hundred yard dash in ten seconds nat.
After being refused at Delaware ne
went TO Pennsylvania, where lno

Man-o-War earned ss3,325 as a two

TO the average college student the
Interest In athletics, or more concrete
ly, the progress which the various
athletic teams make, Is one of the
paramount issues. When an athletic
team is victorious IL seems as IL the
morale OF the whole student body is

terest in everything, for the average
college man is not such a One-sided
person tiiat iie is interested In ath-
lctlcs only. lie desires his college 20

world as well as in the sports world.
When tlls spirit permeates a student
body, athletics are 400 per cent el-
hcient. for they are lending TO the in
lcllectual, the physical and the moral
development of the students.
This Is the standard which all Della
ware College students and alumni
hold up for their alma mater and
which ihey believed was closely lived
