PROF. ANSCOMB LEADS
Y. M. C. A
The regular meeting of the Y. M.
C. A. Thursday night was led by
Prof. Anscomb. The leader spoke
of the faith of some of the Bible
characters. He with Abra
ham, and told of his great desire to
have a son of his own. Then Isaac
was born. When he was about to
offer his son as a sacrifice the Lord
prepared a sacrifice ready for the oc
casion. This marks the turning
point. Abraham instructed Isaac to
walk humbly with God and trust in
this new faith and to instruct his
children in this faith.
Isaac married and to this union
were born Esau and Jacob. Esau
being the oldest should by custom
be heir, law giver, general in time
of war, and priest. He must teach
his children this faith. But as the
boys grew Esau became a man who
loved fhe chase and cared for noth
ing noble. As Esau grew older he
lost his opportunity. He despiseu
his birthright and sold it to Jacob.
Jacob loved his birthright and loved
to hear his father tell the story of
his faith. It hurt him because Esau
failed to grasp its real value. Esau
was a profane man, he wanted to be
one of the boys.
It isn't necessary for us to use
mean ways to get the other fellow
out and us in. How are you valuing
your birthright? Like Esau did or
Jacob? Don't allow your worldly
pleasure, as did Esau, to interfere
with your spiritual growth. Always
be like Jacob, put an estimate on
your birthright and work to increase
that value by your good deeds. This
is what it takes to enjoy and live the
true faith which Abraham and Isaac
spoke so earnestly about. Be a man,
stand for a principle and live it.
A CIRCUS FOR THE FRESHMEN
On April 29 members of the class
of '22 were seen making their way
to the Binford cottage, having re
ceived an invitation to come there
for a circus. They were met by Mrs.
Binford in her charming manner and
ushered to the circus grounds, where
the fun began. First the community
gossip started, which is always
heard at such times when small in
cidents become great events. During
the rounds of gossip each guest was
given a newspaper with the name of
an animal on it which was to be
torn from the paper. A pin contest
was next enjoyed by the girls and a
tight rope walking contest by the
boys. Annie Walker and Hugh
White were the successful contest
ants, each being presented with a
rubber soap bubble. Following this
a familiar looking clown—who in
civil life is known as T. D. Ander
son made his appearance, dressed
in the comic sections of the Daily
