College Students Cheer as Orphan Mary Wins
DibZoma Aftea. Forty Years Of Hard Struggle
By GENE COIN

TTATE COLLEGE, Pa, Aug.
- 27.-The platform in the
III university assembly hall is
hedged with beribboned flowers.
Young women, in very new white
dresses and with cheeks pinked by
excitement, wait nervously. Young
men. with over-ser1ous faces. wait
stiffly.
And there is one with silver
streaked hair. She smiles continu-
ously-a sort of spiritual smile
transcending earthly things.
The college president calls:
Mary O'Malley Sullivan"
Two stout canes appear from
either side Of a chair and the sill
ver-haired woman supports her
self upon them. There is a storm
of applause.
It is Orphan Mary's" moment
of great triumph.
She accepts the rolled paper. It
is a degree Of bachelor of arts.
Orphan Mary" has defeated cir-
cumstances, suffering. tragedy and
misfortune.
For those who may find the
struggle hard or the trail easy, the
life Of Mary O'Malley Sullivan Is
a sermon in courage, persistence
and complete triumph Of the spirit.
This brief outline may provide a
sketchy picture:
She was orphaned as a baby. A
Fall from the porch hopelessly
crippled her for life a few years
later.
At the age Of Il she graduated
from me Plains, Pa, high school.
At Is she was a public school
+ teacher. At Is she was a normal
school graduate. She held prac-
ticing pharmacist license beforeA
she was 90.
She was widowed eighteen
months after marriage. Was pro-
prietess Of a drug store and post
mistress for twenty years.
Served in the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington during the
war.
Spent three years helping the
sick and disabled in hospitals.
These are all records of achieve
ments. They tell nothing Of the
months spent in hospital cots
suffering from her crippled con-
dition and seeking TO find help
from some Of the worlds best
surgeons. Nor Of pain that often
seemed uncomfortable.
For Orphan Mary" was never
able to escape the companionship
of her two stout canes and Of
physical suffering. Yet her am
bition was stronger than her
handicap. In every spare moment
she studied.
The years sped. Silver strands
crept into her hair.
And then. after more than forty
years Of struggle-the opportunity
of a college course.
To Penn State College" she be-
came a symbol. Students came to
watch for her and help her limp
up the stairways and through the
halls to classroom
Now that she has won a degree
she is not finished. Not Mary
O'Malley Sullivan.
"I'u teach for a time and then
I'm going to study again." she
says.

PASTOR URGES
CHURCHES To
USE RADIO
Cincinnati Minister Issues
Circular Telling Benefits
to Congregation.

The fact the radio and the church
are Becoming more closely linked
every day is admitted by many,
but the Rev. DIR. Frank H. Steven
son, minister of the Church of the
Covenant, in Cincinnati, Ohio,
comes out frankly and openly with
the assertion that the two must
work hand in hand.
For more than q year services of
the Church of the Covenant have
been broadcast by radio station
WLW, and many times DIR. Steven
son has made reference in his SER
mons to the benefits being derived
by those who are unable to attend
services but who can operate radio
receiving apparatus.
Tells of Benefits.
Commenting upon these benefits
in circular distributed among
members of his congregation, DR..
Stevenson said:
There is nothing remarkable in
the friendly attitude of the church
toward the radio. It is the bust
ness of the church to proclaim to
the world what the Bible calls the
good news Of the Christian re.
ligion. To do this every available
means has always been used by
Christian people, and the church
has been enterprising, determined,
and resourceful in carrying out It's
great commission.
Quick to Seize Aids.
Christianity has promptly seized
every aid that commerce, or science
has provided. The first was the in
vention Of the sailors compass,
which enabled ships to sail beyond
the sight Of land. This meant that
missionaries could travel to the
ends of the earth, which they i'm.
mediately did.
1.-THE second was the invention of
the printing press and the publish
ing Of the Bible in every language,
dialect, and jargon spoken among
men. This was a tremendous step
forward. In the last two years we
have seen a third acquisition and
the beginning of a new epoch of
Christian history. The radio has
been perfected.

Sheerer's set is to be noted pa4}

according to young Sheerer, who is

The set took about ten minutes to
construct and is made up of three
binding posts, ten feet of wire and
a crystal with a manufactured
"cat's whisker." The coil may be
seen hanging from the top Of the
box, but built, rather adeptly, so
that it is completely out of the
way.
The other set, built by Burgess,

quarter of an inch long, with the
crystal tied to the bolt, and a
