BIBLE STUDY GROUPS
We begin at this time the study
of Christ's Sermon on the Mount Re
ligion goes back to God. He is alive
in our hearts, the Spirit of truth and
goodness and beauty there. If we
let our hearts be moved by the won
drous Spirit within we begin to live
the God life, to live in the large way,
We are Christian. That's the prin
ciple underlying the Sermon on the
Mount.
There was a man in that congrega
tion who had achieved. He had made
money or Phi Beta Kappa or some
social organization and it had given
him the swelled head. Jesus said to
him: "The man whose heart is right
always handles his success. He ex
periences the beatitude: Blessed are
the poor in spirit for their's is the
kingdom of heaven."
There was a man there who had
"suffered failure. Jesus said to him:
"It isn't what we achieve that counts,
so much, as what we aspire to achieve;
and it's better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all.
Once you feel that way about life
you can say of yourself: "Blessed
are they that mourn for they shall be
strengthened."
There was a man who was a busy,
fussy, noisy individual, a champion of
the strenuous life, going about with
coat off, in the effort to set the world
right before sundown. To him Jesus
said: "Civilization is of the heart as
well as of the hand and is helped by
quiet, 'unobtrusive as well as strenu
ous folk. Moving softly through
life they contribute . wonderfully to
society. Blessed are the gentle for
they shall inherit the earth."
There were individuals there who
were priding themselves on their mor
al respectability and on the fact that
they were coming, under the tongue
of good repute. Jesus said to them:
"It isn't what a man does, but the
spirit of his doing that determines the
value of his act Goodness is quality,
not quantity. Blessed are the pure
in heart, for they shall see God. They
are thinking of God, not of respecta
bility, thinking of the principles of
goodness rather than its form; and
they are good through and through.
. There were men and women in that
congregation who were "Hardened
Saints," severe, exacting, intolerant,
unyielding in their lives. You had to
do what they said and believe what
they believed; and you had to believe
and do at once, without questioning.
You just had to come up to their stan
dard. To them Jesus said: "Have a
heart soften up." We can't be severe
when we have the right Christ feel
ing in our hearts. "We enter into the
enjoyment of the beatitude: "Blessed
are the merciful for they shall obtain
mercy."
There were hearers present who
were talking too much, nasty-minded
disturbers of the social equilibrium,
some of them actually church mem
bers. To them Jesus said: "Blessed
are the peace-makers -those glorious
individuals who love unity and are a
unifying power in a community for
they shall be called the children of
God."
There was a man- who had voted
from conviction against his party. To
him and to his detractors Jesus said:
"When your heart is set on princi
ple you are at peace no matter who
is against you and you understand me
when I say: "Blessed are they that
are persecuted for righteousness'
sake, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven."
.. " There were those who : felt their
inability to do anything in the way of
, service. To them Jesus said: "When
your heart is stirred you have a vis
ion of who you are and what you can
do. You know yourself as the salt
of the earth, as the light of the world
and you'll let the salt keep its savor,
you'll let your light shine."
How do we measure up as far as
the Lord has spoken in His sermon?
New Physics Lab.
In Phillips Hall
Those of us who have had to go
through the agonies and difficulties
of Physics 1-2 laboratory experiments
in the poorly lighted, badly equipped
old lab room down in the Alumni
Building will be able to appreciate
what a boon the new Physics Lab,
just recently occupied, is to students
of Physics at the present. The old
shaky dilapidated tables have been re
placed by solid and new ones which
will give enough stability to instru
ments to insure some degree of ac
curacy; and the instruments of the
old lab have been largely replaced
by better and more efficient ones.
The lighting system of the new lab
is excellent, and the floor is laid on
concrete, which is another great aid
to accurate and rapid work.
A. . E. E. Gives Feed
Next Monday Night
The American Institute of Electri
cal Engineers will start off its spring
program on Monday night with a big
feed and smoker which augurs well
for . a successful winter and spring
quarter. The society is carrying out
an unusually extensive and active
program throuout the whole year,
part of which was executed last fall
with great success. Both the Fresh
man and Sophomore Classes, as well
as the upper classes, took an active
part in the work of the society last
fall, reading papers of much interest
upon various topics in the field of el
ectrical engineering. Especially in
teresting were the papers touching
upon the qestions of farm lighting and
electrical manufacturing equipment
In addition the Instituted showed a
moving picture upon the subject of
ship propulsion by electrical equip
ment which was thoroughly instruc
tive and enjoyed by all the audience.
In addition to this work of last fall
the society plans to continue to ex
pand its work this spring. Arrange
ments have already been made for
two additional moving pictures to be
shown this spring, in addition to three
speakers from the state and nation
men of note in the electrical world.
Mr. C. R. Sutton, Manager of the
Carolina Power Company, will speak
to the society on March 1st. The
meeting of March 15th will be given
to the Juniors, who are expected to
deliver an interesting program of
papers. On March 29 C. S. Coler,
head of the Educational Department
of the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company, will talik
to the society; and he will be followed
by W. G. Lee, Chief Engineer of the
Southern Power Company. From
these talks an especial opportnity will
be given to the students of electrical
engineering to learn and follow the
development of electricity, especially
in the industries of the State. In ad
dition to these talks there will be two
other educational moving pictures,
one on April 19th and the other in
May, featuring the electric railway,
its development in the past few years
and the points of advantage over the
steam railway. All in all the A. I.
E.E. has planned and is carrying out
one of the livest and most beneficial
programs ever known in the history
of the organization.

With Apologies to Pepys
Up and scarcely dressed when sev
eral freshmen .came in bringing trig
books to get help in working exam
ples and from them learned logs to
be in high respect but no good opin
ion of identities. Thence to see a
friend who had a roommate getting
up a debate. He said to me, "The
only and greatest embarrass that I
have in the world is how to behave
myself to Society when I address it
in case my speech departs from me."
Told him I would cheer mightily in
case he took his seat, whereat he said
he would do his best to deserve my
applase. Thence to Swayne where
was a dog fight Also did see a good
matured but sensitive person stand
ing within a ring of those desirous of
tickling him in the rybes. Was
strongly reminded of the famous non
S. A. T. C. game where one person
was bounced within a circle, which
however was not so" bloodthirsty as
the savage strap game.
With right good interest read a
novel and so loafed and invited my
soul.

at Geological Club
At a very interesting meeting of
the Geological Club last Friday night
J. S. Babb "gave a brief history of
Professor N. S. Shaler's life. C. H.
Walker gave a life history of Pro
fessor J. D. Whitney. These two
men were the leading geologists of
the past generation, Professor Shaler
being the world's greatest palentolo
gist and Professor Whitney the fore
most economic geologist of the
world.
In a short talk Professor Cobb,
who studied under both these men
at Harvard, gave some very inter
esting personal touches to the lives
of these great geologists.
