C. B. Riddle, % Corresponding Secretary. Elon College, N. C., Sept. 13th, 1911. THE Y. M. C. A. The first regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A. for the present scholastic year was held in the Y. M. C. A. hall on Saturday evening at 7:15. The meeting was con ducted by Prof. W. P. Lawrence who gave a very interesting and helpful talk against selfishness. The service was at tended by a large percent, of the new men and a good many of the old ones also. All seemed to enjoy the exercises and num bers expressed their intention of attending tbe meeting regularly. I believe ’the Y. M. C. A. here has bright prospects for one of the best years A its history We have numbers of young men'hei'e who seem to be able and will ing to work. All we have to do is to get them interested and give them a start. The Y. M. C. A. is one of the best pla ces I know of for training young men in religious work. And if we once get them in the habit of attending they realize this and learn to love the organization. Young men of Elon College, you need the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. M- C. A. needs you. Let us wake up and get new life in the meetings at the beginning and keep it up throughout the year. Yours for work, C. J. F. The Christian Endeavor Society Sun day was led by President W. A. Harper, using as the subject, “Lessons from the Life of Daniel.” The meeting was large ly attended. Good interest was taken by both old and new students. The spirit, which reigned therein bids fair to a great and good year’s work for our Divine Mas ter. The officers for the year are as fol lows: President: Miss Mabel Farmer, Vice President, Mr. Stuart; Secretary, Miss Viola Frazier; Assistant Secretary—Miss Janie Lee Beale; Treasurer, Miss Pearl Tuck; Collectors, Misses Emma Holland and Vera Gay. Organist, Miss Annie Bagwell; Choris ter, Mr. Banks; Corresponding Secretary, VIr. J. Lee Johnson. BASKET BALL FOR THE LADIES. The ladies are going to have a basket ball court and that is a fact. Miss Clem ents, gymnasium instructor for the ladies, has been in conference with President Harper for some time and the President has agreed to have a plot fenced off and suitable fixtures arranged for a modem out-of-door basket ball court. It will be located south of and near West Dormitory so as to be convenient in every respect and immediately upon completion of the grounds the ladies will be divided into teams, with proper uni forms and business be begim in earnest. The girls are all enthuiasm over the idea* and many interesting games may be ex pected though there will be nothing “Co ed” about this feature of our college life. The ladies have hitherto been compell ed to confine their exercise to the daily routine of gymnasium work with an occa sional game of tennis, but this affords a new outlet for the surplus energy of the “fair co-eds.” of our college for which we are glad, and will rejoice with them in its completion. CHANGE OP BUSINESS. Mr. C. Hughes, who succeeded Mr. J. Saunders as proprietor of “The Peoples’ Store,” here, has recently purchased the entire stock, accounts and good will of the Elon Supply Co. Mr. Hughes expects to move all goods and stock into the build ing occupied by himself and conduct a modern, up-to-date, general store. Eve rything looks especially pleasing at pres ent and we bespeak for him the rewards which his energy and efforts deserve. A DOZEN PROVERBS. By Charles M. Fillmore We earn what we learn. We learn what we earn. Humility is a step upward. Socialists are not essentially sociable. Greatness is meek, littleness is egotistic. Experience alone gives expert knowl edge. Education must lead upward as well as outward. The countenance speaks when the tongue is silent. To succor another is better than to suc ceed over him. An accumulation of wisdom is better than bank stock. Science gives erudition; philosophy, wis dom; art, utility. Character in a teacher is, at least, as essential as scholarship. The bass drum doesn’t make good music, but it often drowns a lot of bad. GOING UP. By A. M. King. Success “is not reached by a single bound, For we build a ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to the sununit round by round”. If, when you’ve reached the topmost round. You lose your grip and hit the ground So hard it takes away your breath, You think you’re dead, or pray for death; Just lie a moment on your back; Look up and say, that was a whack But I’m close to the bottom round, So I ’11 grip it hard and clear tbe ground; I’ll reach the topmost round some day, And when I’ve reachcd it, there I’ll stay. —Caxton. LISTENER WITH THE “ARTIST SOUL. The incident happened upon one of the great ocean liners during an autumn trip when a famous violinist was among the passengers. At first he firmly refused to play, but was finally persuaded, and upon the appointed evening the Salon was crowded with eager passengers. It was a most enthusiastic audience, intelligent, sympathetic and appreciative, yet as the evening wore on people began to notice that the violinist’s glance went always in one direction, and after a time others fol lowed it. They saw a plain little woman, plainly dressed, with no marks of wealth or cul ture. But she was looking at the master with shining eyes, her face wet with tears, unmindful of everything except the magic of his violin. When the program was ended, pushing his way through the peo ple who would have detained him, the musician went straight to the little shab by figure. “Madame, I congratulate you—you are ze great artist!” he cried. She looked at him almost in alarm. “I—oh—I cannot play a note,” she stammered. “I don’t know anything about music. I only—love it.” The violinist shook bis big, shaggy head impatiently. “Is it not ^That I say? You have ze artist soul—ze artist to listen. What good to play to ze deaf—like ze rest?” with a disparaging gesture toward the crowded room. “It is to ze one wiz ze heart to listen zat we masters play.”—Youth’s Companion.
