He will invite on this occasion his best lady friend from the Dormitory or ladies’ club and together we shall all make merry around the festal board. There’s hoping that at least twenty- nine of the thirty were born during the cool season of the year. ATHLETICS. The outlook for the base ball team this year is hardly what was expected. At present we have only five old men in the position they played last year, two of them as pitchers, two men of last year subs are trying for the team and one for second base. As is well known, the more old men vou have the stronger is your team. The plan for devoloping these new men is to play as many j)ractice games with the scrub and other out side teams as possible, for the saying of learn to do by doing is certainly a true one. Base ball is not the only sport engaged in in the fall. Tennis is becoming very popular. We are now finishing a tourna ment in which twenty-four men took part. Out of these we hoi)e to develop some good men to represent us against other colleges. So long as the weather continues as it is these sports will be engaged in, but the coming of cold weather will compel us to go to the Gym for basket ball and regular gym work. The prospects for basket ball can hard ly be summed up, at this time, as there has not been a jjractice game. We hojie for a strong team this year and if hard work will accomplish any thing our op ponents will be entertained. “Doc.” impress on them the meaning of return ing thanks before a meal. Turning to one of the class, whose father was a deacon in the church, she asked him: “William, what is the first thing your father says when he sits down to the (' table?” “He says, ‘Be careful of the butter, children; it’s forty cents a pound',” re plied the youngster.—Everybody’s ilaga- MIXISTEBIAL ASSOCIATION. After reading 11 verses from the fifth chapter of the Gospel according to St. Luke, the leader, Mr. Rountree, develop ed the following thoughts, choosing as his subject “Winning Souls for Christ.” The>'e are several ways in which we should win souls for Christ. 1st we should be true Christian ourselves. We should live such pure lives that we iu.i> set examples for others to follow. 2nd we should mingle with those thit are not Christians, for we can’t learn how to win them for Christ if we do not associate with them. We should not take part in their pleasu>’es, but we should live such pure lives that they will be ashamed of their sinful ways when the. see our way of living. Christ never refused to mingle with ihe \ilest sinner and always had a kind word Irr- them. We shoultl iive by thj exaiuph tlial Christ set in the parable of the lost sheep, and go out and search lor lli" la^t souls. Mr. Rountree closed with the dlustra- tion of Zaccheus climbing the sycamore tree to see Christ and Christ’s worls to him showing that Christ would dine even with sinners. We were then led in prayer by Dr. Wicker, after which the meeting v/as open for all who desired to take part. Many took part developing the idea that we should win souls for Christ be fore we leave school. Mr. Brown is to lead for us at our next meeting. The hour set to begin is thirty minutes after supper bell. You who were absent, don’t you think you could give an hour a week for the cause you are to represent ? Come and take part in every meeting and we will accomplish much good. A young lady who taught a class of small boys in Sunday School desired to PRESIDENT TAFT ENDORSES TUBERCULOSIS DAY. Says Churches Should Work to Eradicate Diseases. Cordial approval and endorsement of Tuberculosis Day, which will be observed by the churches of the country on Octo ber 27th, is expressed by President Taft in a letter to Homer Folks of New York, President of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercu losis. made public to-day.

I hope and believe that a “Tuberculosis Day” in the churches will be productive of great good. ‘ ‘ Sincerely yours, “William H. Taft.” From present indications.
