A. meeting last Saturday night we have had in quite a while. This was due to the fact that each old member pledged himself to bring with him on that e\ening a new one. The meeting was one of the most en thusiastic we have had this year. Mr. J. F. Apple was the leader for the eve ning. He chose as his subject, “Now is the time for work.” The leader’s talk was very impressive and well taken by ev eryone present. He showed some of the great works that have been done by men who were willing to work and to grasp every op portunity as they were ])assing by. Near ly everyone present expressed himself on the topic by showing that he believed that the only way for him to succeed in life is to work. For my part, I see my greatest pleasure when I am at work; and I believe that when I say this I am say ing just what the other members would say for themselves. We see too many out in life today who are trying to live without work. But the result of this proves to us that this is not the right course for us to pursue. What we. as young college men, and as members of the Y. M. C. A. of Elon Col lege are trying to do is not to lag back, but to push to the front in order to have success. Then when life is nearing its close we can each say to ourselves, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” F. F, Myrick. IN THE PHILOLOGIAN HALL FRI DAY EVENING, JAN. 12. 1912. The best delivered oration of the eve ning was by Mr. R. A. Atkins, “Ameri can Progress.” From a stand-point of originality and good work Mr. Atkins did himself honor. A few years ago America was regarded as an unimportant country. To-day she stands a unique world power. America seeks to institute the arts of perpetual peace; to elevate through the onward march of progress, to cultivate the desire for trade and commerce; to bring prosperity; to protect her citizens in the peaceful enjoyment of life, liberty, and happiness. The debate. Query: Resolved,—“That the Southern Power Company is des tined to become an injury to the South” was most strongly defended by Mr. J. G. Truitt, who maintained that since this company was owned only by a few men, and as its demand increases it becomes more and more a trust and monopoly. It was argued this monopoly was combining capital thereby preventing competition. Hence, the prices of light and power as furnished by this company will be regula ted according to the desires of those in control and not in accordance to jus tice to the consumer. The negative and winning side, with Mr. J. V. Knight as best speaker, main tained that it would eost smaller eompa- nies more to eontrol and maintain fhem- T selves than it would a monopolized com pany with a greater capital. Competi tion does more hann than good. Better have a stable and sustaining price than one subject to fluctuation and suppres sion. Small capital overlooks those twi*- iness methods of acting in every partic ular which prove profits to the bjg insti tutions. W. L. Andersco. WITH THE CLIOS FRIDAY EVENING. Among the first numbers of the program was a sketch of the life of John R. Mott, by Mr. C. .1. Felton. Mr. Felton’s trace of Mr. Mott’s life was interesting and instructive. While Mr. Mott today is comparatively a young man, yet his achievements are those that are recalled by only a few, if any. He graduated at Cornell University in ISSS, and the follow ing year Yale gave him his Master’s de gree. In 1910 Edinburg conferred the degree of LL. I), upon him and Princeton honored him with the degree of Doctor of Laws in the same year. Mr. Mott began his life work as travel ing secretary for the international Y. M. C. A., his department having charge of the work in the colleges and universities of America and Canada. It was in this work that he developed the Student Vol unteer Movement. As a result of this movement, 4,784 students have enlisted in this Christian conquest of the world. He is today the field marshall of belliger ent Christendom and nearly every sec tion of the Christian Church accepts his leadership. A close friend of Mr. Mott’s was asked to what church or denomina tion Mr. Mott belonged, he replied that he coiildn’t tell, though he had known him for years: but no one cares. Every one knows that he is far too big to stay with in sectarian limits. You cannot classify a man who deals witli nothing but intel lectual, moral and spiritual esse.itials. In an oration, the subject of which was “True Americanism,” Mr. C. B. Riddle presented some good thoughts as to what true Americanism meant. He said the American idea is a free church in a free state and a free and nonsectarian pub lic school in every ward and in every vil lage; with its doors wide open to the chil dren of every creed. He then told of some of the disasters that the race for wealth had brought upon the people. The debate of the evening was as to The debate was as to whether or not the battleship Maine should be sold for revenue or not. The affirmative main tained that it should on the ground that as it is, it is of no use and is just so much money tied up without interest and continually rusting awav. That the Uni ted States government is not in a condi tion financially at present to allow a thing like this, that will put into the treasury as much money as was offered for this ship, to pass. Then too. that this money could have been used for educational pur poses and in caring for the poor which wo’ld have been more beneficial than to allow it to remain as a relic. The negative maintained that it should be kept in honor to those who lost their lives on it and to sell it would be showing them disrespect which would not be in accordance with American ideals. That it should be kept as a monument in spir it to the 265 that went down with it. And that to sell it would be placing money on a higher level than service. ‘l January 19, 1912. DR. J. E.

Last P'riday evening being the first ses sion of our society since Christmas, was a very promising one, in that we had the pleasure of welcoming three new girls, namely: Misses Atwater, Davis ,and Wick er, as active members. Miss Bronna Cly- mer of Greensboro, a former member, was a welcome visitor in the meeting. It al ways gives us pleasure to have the old members with us. The program as a whole showed diligent work which we all enjoyed to the utmost. The first item which deserves special mention was an essay entitled, “Friend ship According to Cicero and Myself,” by Miss Cynthia Garrett. It was well- prepared and showed deep thought as well as skill in the arrangement of the para graphs. Miss McNeill read a negro ser mon which was very amusing. The reader read with much expression and her imi tation of the negro dialect was fine. She has certainly improved as a society work er. The third item deserving special mention w'as a piano duet by Misses Ma son and Price. This showed practice and was hi?hly complimented. Viola E. Frazier. “What qan I spare?.Ah! this and this From my array I am not like to miss; And here are crumbs to feed some hunary one. They do but make a eumbrance on my shelf; For still one reads: Our Father gave Hi» . Son; The Master gave Himself.”
