It was with pleasure that we read the February issue of The Guilford Colle gian. This magazine is not only neat and attractive in its outward appearance, but it contains several good stories and articles. The little poem, “Harvest Time,” has in it the breath of southern farm life. Evidently the writer is a sou therner. The two stories, “His Preju dice,” and “Her Final Decision,” are of a clean, wholesome type and enjoyable. In our opinion this issue is better than the January one, in that it has more sol id work in it. There are four articles, two of which deal with questions that are live ones in our country to-day. These are “Health. Man’s Greatest Asset.” and “Should Pensions be Increased.” This latter is a problem of vital impor tance that confronts our go\'«rnment to day. It cannot be settled in a few days, or even a few weeks, but will take months. The article shows that the pass ing of the Sherwood bill will increase the pension fund of the United States $75,000,000. The amount apportioned to our State being near $2,000,000. The “Editorials” were good while the various “Notes” and the “Locals and Personals” were snappy and interesting and hare in them the true college spirit. rBOYBBBS AND PHBASBS.

Life is a highway upon which each in dividual has to travel. One is left at liberty to choose his own way. This highway leads to two guiding posts, one pointing to the left, “Pleasures of the world, misfortunes, horrors of Hell.” The other pointing to the right, “Pleasures of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, suc cess, glory of Heaven.” In traveling through life why be discouraged if all th& fancies and worldly things seem to turn quickly and suddenly fiom you? That is no sign of defeat. Your class mates may seem to soar above you. That should not discourage you. There is a place for you to fill and no other person can fill the vacancy but you. Those whom you once thought to be your closest and host fiiends and even more than that may forsake you. They are ignorant of how it makes your spi.its run low. But a truer friend than any of those is waitingg only to have the opportunity to manifest it to the world. The highway may seem rough and rug ged. It is because you have not fully de cided which way to turn; you have come to the parting of the ways and in your waiting to decid&, time waits for no one, have unconsciously drifted a little way to the left and the consequenca is, you are in the “mire.” Niw turn yi >r back upon the past, lest you be turned into a pillar of salt, live for th& future. Meditate not upon tlie wrong doings and wrong associations of the past. You ar? known by the compa ny you keep. Keep constantly in your mind’s eye the goal which you are striv ing for, let eome and go what will. “A man. a woman, never reaches a higher goal than tht one which they seek.” Many times along this highway life has been so dark and d eai'y that it seemed, sometimes, impossitle to live. But when the darkni-,s fades into light the sun shines from the beautiful heavens and the Prince of Peace speaks to my soul, all is refreshing and glorious. Life is worth living after alL True love which is the magic soul of music and the living fire of art beams into our very beings and here abides to the end of life. “T. ” S* SBEATEBT WOMEH LIST. Mrs. lUiili, Student of History and S«- ciolegy, Mak«i Selections. (Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun). Pittsburg, Feb. 11.—Mrs. Enoch Rauh, Pittsburg’s well-known club woman and philanthropic worker, has come to the front after cartful study with the first answer given by any local resident to the much-discussed question, “Who are the 20 greatest women in the world’s history?” Mrs. Rauh has been a student of his tory and sociology for many years and has gained much recognition for her un usual \ersatility and brilliant mental at tainments. The women’s roll of honor, as she finally decided upon, follows: Queen Esther, Joan of Arc, Queen Eliz abeth, Mme. De Stael, Harriet B. Stowe, George . Sand, Elizabeth Barrett Brown ing, Florenee Nightingale, George Elliot, Frances Willard, Clara Barton, Jenny Lind, Queen Victoria, Susan B. Anthony, Mlrs. Mary Baker Eddy, Sarah Bern hardt, Jan* Addams, Ellen Key, Mme. ('haminaeh and Rosa Bonhenr. THE FADING OF THE FUTURE FROM MODERN THOUGHT. Quite rtcently the proiessor of divinity of tile University of Cambridge put himself on record as follows; “Among all the chan ges which havec ome over religious and the ological teaching within living '^memory, none seems to me so momentous as the ac ute secularizing of the Christian hope, as shown by the practical (lisapi)erance of the other world Irom the sermons and writings ol those who are most in touch with the thoughts and aspirations of our contem poraries." This tallies with my own observation. The present day literature of Christianity —our i^iigous magazines and papers and the deliverances of the pulpit—are slngu- lurly einjity of the "other-woridiy.” The em phasis is upon the here and now. What lies within tiie veil Is to a large extent ignored, or if touched on at all, is touched very light ly. The gravity of this condition deserves attention, for just as certainly as the fu ture fades out of our thinking and out of the thinking of people in general, there will come a corresponding laxity in moral life. We have heard infidels and secularists talk “ad nauseam” about taking one world at a time and leaving the future to take care of itself; but we had not expected to find allies of these outsiders In the ranks of the Christian faith. I^et him w'ho rejects the cross be provincial in his thinking, if he will; let him circumscribe himself by the boundaries of earth and time, If he chooses; Ipt him have no sky and no stars in his philosophy; let him sing his song or dirge within the narrow cage of the present, If he prefers. But the Christian may not Join him unless he falls utterly to appreciate the meaning and the breadth and sweep of his rellghm. The Christian uiust be cosmopolitan; he must hare room for flight; he must draw Inspiration and power from beyond the snnsct. One world at a time Is not enough for him who has caught the spirit of Jesus Christ. Such a one looks over the horir-on. He sees the land that is far off, and what he sees makes him a bigger and better and stronger man in the land of his present pil grimage. All the great prophets and apos tles, all the great martyrs and missionaries, all the great heroes and heroines of the church, in every age, were braced and nerved and made Invincible by the Intoxi cation of the future. They drank the wine of the great tomorrow, and It put iron In to their blood and lire Into their hearts and a deathless hope into their souls. In the midst of persecntlon, in the face of the most bitter and awful opposition, shot at by all the archers of the Devil, they bore up and held on and purified and sweeten ed society around them because they look ed for a city with foundations whose buil der and maker is God. How little those who talk altout getting on well enough with one world at a time think of what they are saying! The tiniest flower that grows must hare the sun and the moon and all the star* of heaven to min ister to it; and if a daisy needs so much how much more does a man need? Cut off the influences and helps «f other worlds and onr earth wonld be a Sahara. Not a Khower would ev*r fall or a stream ever flow. .\iid if It I* nonsense to talk about one world at a time !■ the material uni verse. in the lljht of bi»tory and of Scrlp- , ti- «... .1. .

As the attract ive power of the sun and the moon pro duces the tides and helps to sweeten and purify the sea and makes it a great reser voir of health for the globe, so it Is the pull and the spell of the other-woridfy, of the unseen and the eternal, that save so ciety from moral anarchy and ruin. No one familiar with the Scriptures can fall to note the practical use that Is made in the Word of (iod of this teaching a- bont the future life. Nowhere Is it dealtwith as a theory, or a conjecture, or a specula tion or something merely of academic In terest, but always as Intended to bear with solemn and uneseapable force upon the life that now Is. Wherever It is referred to it Is meant to relate to conduct— to warn men against vicious living by holding up t)cfore them the Inevitable harvest, or to Inspire them to struggle on In face of a thou sand difllcnifles by assuring them of the rewards of victory.—The Interior. >1
