Hol land and M. S. Kevell, the question be ing, Ke.-iolved: that the aim of education is mental enlargement rather than indus trial training. W. S. Wicker will preside with F. F. Mvrick as his secretary. day afternoon, Mrs. W. L. Smith, of the Club read a most interesting paper on Greece. This was especially interesting in view of the position that country oc cupies before the pid)lic at present. Delicious and dainty refreshments were served l)y the hostess (bus completing a mo.sl genuinely pleasant and at the same time profitable afternoon. On the .same date, evening, members of the Book Club, Shakespeare Club and Ladies’ Aid tendered a most delightful reception to Mrs. Jas. L. Foster at the home of Mrs. M. A. Atkinson. The event was wholly a suprise to the guest of honor and hence, if possible all the more enjoyed. Each matron present contributed to the refreshments and suf fice it to say they were bounteous. Jlrs. Foster was the recipient of a handsome pin set with i)earls as a re membrance from her many friends in the various clubs. She is soon leaving our midst, the Kev. Jas. L. Foster having accepted |)astoral work at V\'averly. The community will lose a rare genius when this good lady departs. the Mount of his field and j>rofessioii and \iews the wliole valley beneafh, gets his broad vision ami comes down in the val ley among men and labors with success. There are three peaks of this mount: The mount of love—the home; the Alount )f Truth—the sclu)oI; the . ouut t)f God —the chiircli. e nnist get a vision from each of these Mounts before we can successful ly work in the valley. When Christ came from the mount He said: Bring him to me. This is a chal lenge of the church today, Christ is tell ing his church to bring sin sick souls to Him. The world needs men today who have been to iJie Mount of Transfiguration and got a larger vision. K. A. T. THE BOOK CLUB. The Elon College Book Club met with Mrs. Wilson at her home on last Satur- FRO.M THE PULPIT. Why should we not cast him out? St. Matthew 17:lil. Kev. J. U. N'ewman, D. D., drew his ser- n "'1 '■' ■•ir!. i!,i iniident.'i on lUe Moi.nt of Transfiguration. He said “Oidy three out of the twelve were prej>ared to go with ('hris'l to tlie .Vount. Only a small min ority was ready, after being with Christ three years, to see Christ in his glory as the heavens 0])ened and shone upon Him in brightness and splendor, and to hear the voice as it was spoken from heaven: ‘This is my beloved Son: Hear Him.’ “The next day when they had come down they were met by many |)eople. One man of the comi>any cried out, say ing, ‘Master I beseech Thee, look ujion my son : for he is mine only child.’ T'his man had asked the discij>les to heal his son but they coud not. In (his we see a picture of those men and women who live in such close touch with God as to see Him and to hear His voice. And we see the second picture, the other nine disciples and the multitude and the sick boy. The disciples had failed to heal the boy, not because they were never able, for they were powerless to do what they had done on jirevious occasions, but they were satisfied with their past achieve ments. There are two classes of Christian men. The nine remain in the valley of doubt, faithless, defeated, discouraged, no heart to go forward in the fight. The three go upon the mount and see Jesus in His glory. No matter what. you do, whether you work in science, literature, law, or teach, it is the man that succeeds who goes to ro THOSE WHO ADVERTISE For some time the managers of The W’eekly have desired to have the lar^'est circulation of any College publication in the Stale and as we have achieved this by several methods, we announce this week our preseni circulation, which is 2,415. We will add to this by Christ mas something near 250 more and this circulation will continue until June 1, 1913, with a continueil increase. We reach ev section of North Caro lina anl Virginia and various parts of .'i.\ other Sta(e>. 'I’h ' W'i'ekly goes into the best homes to be found and is read each week by at least seven thousand ]ieo|ile. We endeavor to keep our read ers in touch wilh our advertisers by call ing attention to the advertisers of The \V'eekIy by a personal word and by card as appears in another column. The present management took The Weekly in charge about two months ago and we have been too busy to call on our friends who desire to advertise. How ever, as we have now built up circulation and turned on the current that will help us to continue our race, we are this week mailing a copy of our paper to those who advertise. We cannot accommodate very many ads, but those who apply to us first will be given room. Write today for our terms. The Managers. Little Mary wrote a composition on “The Cow.” It was brief: “The cow is ■ very useful animal.” Her mother request ed her to read it to the minister, which she did, amending it thus to suit the oe- casion. “The cow is the most helpful animal except religion.”—Working Woman’s Journal. A man was charged with stealing $9.50 His lawyer, after a long fight, succeeded in securing his acquittal. After the ac quittal the lawyer told the fellow that he ought to have some pay for the hard work. “Have you got any money at allT” inquired the lawyer. “I’ve stiU got that $9.50,” said the man.—Kansas Ciy Journal.
