THE CANTATA OF QUEEN
ESTHER

Ii seems courageous, if not trihe
audacious, on the part of Professor
Rigby TO attempt the rendering of
this cantata amidst the heat and ex-
haustion of midsummer, and ir the
absence of our regular student body.
But the result indicated the under.
taking, The Director and all the
participants in the cas-, OF the con-
cert last Saturday evening. in the
Tabernacle, deserve our hearty con.
gratulations.
The music of the cantata is not Of
the highest order, but both its solo
and its chorus parts were worthily
interpreted. In the absence of the
college orchestra, the piano, the vio-
Inns, the viola, the clarinet, the horn,
the flute and the drums supplied its
place surprisingly well.
The scenery, prepared with grea:
skill by Miss Bush and Mr.. Cary,
markedly supplemented the impress
sion of the story.
Old Chalk-eye, the noble and ven
cradle horse from the farm stable,
who has an illustrious record reach
ing back to the Spanish-American
War, added to his laurels as he bore
Mordecai in triumph across the stage,
The audience retired, expressing
sincere appreciation and praise Of the
entertainment.
One Of our pastors, last Sunday, in
alluding to the cantata, told how DR.,
Johnson, in a London party, read the
book of Esther, to the great delight
of the company, who, inquiring as tn
the source of the wonderful story,
were struck dumb with surprise when
told that it was from the Bible!

SUMNER SCHOOL CLOSES

As The Citizen goes to press the
Berea College Summer School comes
to close. From all reports and
from what we have observed this
has been the most successful Sum-
mer School that Berea has had. The
attendance was larger than ever be-
fore-45O students registered this
summer against POS last summer.
The students with whom we have
talked appreciate the type of work
done, and some of them who came
only for the summer term have
decided to enter the regular school
in September. One of the important
features of the Summer School was

authority seem to me strictly just,
never interfering with the students
liberty unless it be to save him from
some evil. ! am sure that | have had
the very kindest treatment from fac
uty, student body, and towns fox.
Berea is a great school for anyone
who wishes to secure an education,
but it is a godsend to the mountain

said many times, and say now, that
| believe it is doing the best work
Of any school in America, because it
reaches a class of people not provided
for by any other institution.

RICHMOND BEARS DEFEATED
BY BEREA

b. T. McKinney's Bears and the
Berea team staged game of ball on
the Berea College Athletic Field Sat
urday afternoon, which resulted in a
defeat for the Bears of IL to 7. The
game was scoreless TO the forth in
ming, when Clark threw the ball over
third, allowing Chenault TO score for
the Bears. Berea followed with
three scores in their half of the
fourth and another in the fifth and
sixth. The bears fought thru the
fifth without a hit. but scored in the
sixth and hung the game on a tie in
the seventh. Berea united with one
score in their half of the seventh and
pushed in five more in the eighth.
The Bears managed to get over the
plate twice in the ninth inning.
The Bears have established good
record, but they can't understand Be
rea's speed. Why, said their re-
porter referring to one of r. Harri-
sons swift dives into the bushes for
the ball, "he returned with such
speed that he could not have gone the
distance that the ball went and there
fore must have had ball in his
pocket" That statement was not
intended to be a compliment, but it
amounts to the same thing among
Harrisons friends because they
know that he doesn't step out for a
game weighted down with extra base
balls.

CANDLES MOTHER WILL TAKE

Only few days ago Mrs. Mary F.
Gamble of Purcelle, Okla, kissed her
son, Howard L. Gamble, goodbye, af.

New Orleans to visit another son
who is a captain in the merchant ma
rine. Today, in response to mes
sages telling Of his tragic death, she
is coming back to take her boys still

homa.
Her return to Memphis is far diff

her son goodbye, for she had prom
Used that on her way home from New
Orleans she would stop over for a
second visit.
Everybody in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. L. Green, 53l Vance Avenue,
where Mr.. Gamble boarded, called
him Shorty" All of them liked
him, and all of them were shocked
at the manner of his death. This
was especially true Of Mr.. and Mrs
Green, with whom he had made his
home during the seven years he had
lived in Memphis.
"Shorty gained metal for expert
craftsmanship during his service at
Park Field during the war;" Mrs.
Green said yesterday. "But they
never gave him a chance yesterday
They shot him before he could de-
fend himself But he did what he
said he'd do when I was worrying
about his guarding that money every
week. He said then: If they ever
get that money, it'll be over my
dead body Now the moneys safe
and he's dead
In addition to his parents, Mr..
Gamble is survived by two brothers
and a sister. None of his family
lives in Memphis.
He served as an expert auto me-
chanic at Park Field during the war,
and was at Camp Humphreys under
orders to sail when the armistice was
signed. After his discharge he came
back to the position he had held for
several years with the Ford Com
Commercial Appeal.

HOWARD L. GAMBLE SLAIN

The older members of the faculty
and former students of Berea Coller,
will be shocked and grieved to learn
of the murder Of Howard Ladd Gam
Bile, (Class. 1910 in Memphis, Tenn,
on Wednesday morning, August 10th.
Mr.. Gamble, with to . ,lice sen,
were murdered in holdup while
they were guarding ~, tayroll Vt
the Ford Motor Company Of that
city.
Mr.. Gamble and +. T. McIenry,
Assistant Chief Clerk for the Ford
Motor Company as usual drove to
the Central State National Bank for
$500 to pay the weekly wages of
the two hundred employees of the
firm. Gamble, as per arrangements,
left the bank and drove tn police
h adquarters where he picked up two
patrolmen and returned for McHenry
and the money. The trip from the
bank to the Ford Office was unevent-
full; but upon stopping in front of
the offices, large Cadillac car sud-
denly showed their Ford into the
curb. At that instant four men
arose and opened fire on the officers,
Mr.. Gamble, and the clerk The pay
clerk kicked open the door and fell
out on the sidewalk, but Mr.. Gamble
and one of the officers were shot dead
in their seats. After considerable
scramble and crawling the clerk
reached the door of the offices with
the money, but slightly wounded.
When the bandits saw their loot had
escaped them they made way down
the street in the high-powered car.
Every effort is being made TO appre-
bend the murderers and robbers.
Mr.. Gamble was born November l.,
1888, in Wilburn, Kansas. After
some years he, with his parents,
moved to Purcell, Oklahoma. There
he attended the public and high
schools until 1906, when he came to
Berea to enter College. He dropped
out for one year to work during his
course.
Mr.. Gamble was a man of unusual
ability in Mathematics and Science,
and during the last two years of his
residence as student in Berea he tu-
tored in Mathematics and conducted
the field experiment work in Survey
ing. He was student in Berea dur.
ing the days of the professorship of
DR.. Josephine Robinson, now the
wife of Prof. f. d. Roe, of Syracuse
University. Professor Robinson con-
sidered Mr.. Ganile an exceptionally
strong student in her Mathematics
Department and drafted him as her
helper on many occasions.
In 1911 Mr.. Gamble graduated
with a Bachelor of Science degree,
and the following very interesting
letter gives in a very unique style
his experiences since'leaving Beiea:
