thing, the Greek grammar is not a
very attractive book, and if students
don't learn any more about athletics

one he may discard to preserve the

for his course in Men sana in sano

On Wednesday evening, between
forty and fifty members and friends
of Bethany M. P. Church met at the
church by a prearranged secret notice
and proceeded in a body, to the par
sonage, each person bearing one OF
more parcels of varing sizes and
weights.
Upon arriving there, in response to
the sound of the door bell the door
was opened by the Reverend gentle
man himself, Rev. G. E. Lester, who
invited the callers to enter. When he
beheld the crowd in the rear of the
first one to be admitted, his eyes
expressed unfeibned surprise and won
der, and his apologies were profuse
for not being dolled up, for the re-
ception of visitors. All were soon
ushered thru the hall into the dining
room where the parcels were deposited
on the large table and on the floor.
It was a jolly, happy crowd and all

by the host and hostess. A little later
there was another alarm at the front
door, and the parson hurried thither
as tho he was hoping there was a
marriage fee in sight, but, instead,
there stood a man with two large
boxes. who informed him that the box
es were ordered sent to the parson-
age by the Senior and Junior Aid
Societies of the Church. When the
boxes had been taken to the dining
room, all present were eager and cur
ious to see their contents. The par
son opened the Senior Aid Society box
first and after removing several
smaller empty joke boxes, he reach
ed the last box and when this was
opened there was a garment which
when unfolded proved to be an over
coat for the parson. The second box
was opened and after discarding sew
eral empties, as before, he finally
brought forth a hat for himself.
All were delighted at the disclosure
of the very useful gifts for their pas
tor, and he was overcome and much
pleased with such expressions of es-
TEEN and appreciation for himself and
family.
After some vocal and instrumental
music and light refreshments, the
crowd began to thin out after having
spent a very enjoyable evening.

can be persuaded still to spread its
wings over the campus; if youthful
