over twenty-six hundred, but this

One man with both legs shattered
was lying next TO the operating ia

a bullet thru his arm, but one OF
these men who seemed not TO be

Rodeheaver came and, while all re-

every inch Of standing room was
occupied. This was the largest
crowd ever assembled in this great

There has not come into Berea a

lage people. All are glad that they
have had the privilege OF hearing
him when his fellow-worker was

not only was he heard by students,

AT 1850 in the afternoon he met
the children OF the Training School
in Knapp Hall, where he proved
himself TO be equally masterfui in
captivating children as grown folks.
From there he went to the Public

the audience that overlooked the
chapel there.

To Judge from current comment
one might suppose that no typical

that bank loans are taboo. that only

fortunate circumstance do goods
ever reach their destination. that

days unnecessarily in transit, and
that business generally is paralyZed.
Were this true, the outlook would
be dark indeed. The country would
enter a period Of famine and suffer

The fact is, all eyes are conferred
upon the 10 or 90 or possibly 80 per
cent of underproduction. inefticien-
cy. and paralysis to the exclusion OF
the other 80 or so per cent of hard
productive effort. 1t pays TO reflect
that while car supply at the coal
