BASKETBALL SEASON ENDS

The last of the basketball games
were played on Monday by both Var.
sity teams; the Secondary Varsity
against Richmond Normal at Berea
and the College Varsity at winches-
ter against Wesleyan.
1t is hardly necessary to give n
summary of the games, for Berea has
not established any great record in
the way of championship. And yet
a general statement or two about the
game would be acceptable, perhaps,
to illustrate the long step in the right
direction that the Institution has
taken.
Berea has distinguished between
her college and secondary schools,
and no man under the college grade
can play on the college varsity. In
so acting, Berea has set a standard
for sister institutions in this section,
tc which they must inevitably measure.
At the same time she is abiding by
the rules and regulations of other
famous schools and is consequently
lifting herself far above the athletic
standard which has hitherto prevailed
in this section.
Realizing that because of the en-
byronic conditions to which she was
subjected by such a fine course Of
action, "a smashing team" this year
was quite improbable The student
body and the Faculty gave their
whole-hearted support, nevertheless,
and helped athletics to fall into the
calm state into which they are at the
present time.
II is with the greatest qualification
TO those in charge that the games and
plays have been accepted here for
their fundamental purpose-namely,
for recreation and mental, moral, and
physical development. And this, hav-
ing arrived to keener understanding
and appreciation, it is believed that
the students will excel hundred per-
cent better in the springtime activi-
tea

AMBULANCE PURCHASED /.

The students and citizens of Berea
who have been interested in the pur-
chase Of an ambulance will be pleased
to know that the money has been
raised and the ambulance purchased.
Nr. Fred C. Backus, Of Baltimore,
Md, became interested in the idea of
an ambulance through Miss Anna
Smith, one Of the Field Workers Of
Berea. He has purchased the ambu-
lance in Baltimore, and it will be
shipped to Berea by freight this
week. An ambulance will meet a
great need during epidemics and spo-
radice cases of serious illness.

The Barbarians Within the Empire
ST. AUGUSTINE

The Barbarians Within the Empire
In this troubled age Of ours. whcr
civilization seems to be hanging IN
the balance, we can well understand
how the people Of the Roman En-.
pire felt when the clouds Of Barbar.
ians, so long a menace upon the from
tiers, broke through. ravaged the
fairest provinces Of the Empire, and
even sacked Rome, beautiful Rome.
magnificent Rome, Eternal Rome,
as they delighted TO call IL. For
eight hundred years Rome had been
safe Now the spell Of Rome over
the wild tribes was broken. Men
asked, with pale faces, "Why this
calamity, and what next" In these
trying times st. Augustine. one Of
the greatest, il not the greatest, Of
the Christian Fathers. spoke out for
the defense Of the Church and for
the comfort Of sorely tried souls.
Youth Of st. Augustine
Augustine was born and raised in
Tagaste. little mountain town In
that part of North Africa which is
now Algeria. His mother, Monica,
was a devout Christian and longei
for her sons conversion But when
young Augustine went away to grea,,
wicked Carthage to attend school. he
fell in with bad company and strayed
far from his mothers way Of life.
At the age Of twenty he became
teacher Of public speaking, debate,
and reasoning in his native town Of
Tagaste Later he moved 10 Car
thage TO teach. But he found that
his pupils at Carthage were alto
gether too disorderly to suit him, and
so he moved on to Rome. He soon
became dissatisfied there and changed
his residence again, this time moving
In Milan in northern Italy. where he
secured an appointment as one Of
the imperial teachers Of rhetoric.
The Conversion Of Augustine
In Milan he was soon joined by his
mother. Monica. who came over from
Africa At about this time he came
under the influence Of one Of the
greatest preachers Of that day, Am
brose. bishop Of Milan Augustine
hesitated. as many another youth has
done since. fearing lest he might not
be able 10 live as uprightly as a
Christian should live He realized
that becoming Christian put a
great responsibility upon him. Thru
the influence Of his earnest mother
and Bishop Ambrose Augustine at
last won the victory in his own soul,
and was baptized as a Christian.
hugustine's Life Service
When he became n Christian. he
gave his whole life up to his relig-
ion He was so conscientious that
he felt that he could no longer re-
main a teacher Of rhetoric. He cave
up his property. He relinquished al
prospects Of marriage He retired
with a few friends. to live a holy.

fore long he was called TO be bishop
Of Hippo "a city near his native
town Of Tagaste). There at Hippo

his life. preaching, settling disputes
for his trustful congregation, and
writing a thousand books Of varying
length. Here at Hippo he lived
busy, useful life; here at Hippo he
died, when the barbarous Vandals
came into possession Of the city. AZ
ter his death he was canonized, and
so we now call him st. Augustine.
The Writings Of 81. Augustine
The importance Of his life lay not
in his actions, but nj his thoughts.
His sermons have carried n blessing
down the ages. His doctrines form
the very foundation Of Christian
theology. Both Catholics and Prot
cstants honor him. His "Confes-
sions" have brought comfort 10 gem
Grafton after generation Of men and
women, as his message has echoed
through the ages. Thou. o Lord,
hast made us for Thyself, and our
heart is unquiet until il find rest in
Thee" But the greatest of all his
writings is "The City Of God"
The City Of God"
Augustine had been Bishop Of
Rome for fifteen years when, in Al
AID, Alaric and his barbarous WISH
goths invaded Italy and sacked Rome.
A shudder ran through the whole Ro-
man world This surely was the be-
ginning Of the end. Men everywhere
were asking why this terrible calam-
'ty had come upon the civilized world
and there we've not a few who lie.
Clared that Christianity was to blame
for the disaster. They said that the
pagan gods were evidently angry be-
cause their temples were neglected
now, owing to the spread OF the
Christian religion. Many Christians
were greatly troubled by these re-
proaches. and 80 Augustine took up
the defense Of Christianity. giving

He showed that Troy, Babylon, and
other cities had been destroyed. long
before the DAYS Of Christianity, and
that pagan cities had not been spared

were the buoyant and hopeful answer
