November 29, 1912. THT! ELON COLLEGE WEEKLY. 3 inspiring talk. The following are some of the facts he related. 1st. How a ministerial student is thought of by his fellow men. Therefore We should be very particular how we speak so as not to give them excuse to say “Well, a ministerial student said so and so, and I have a right to say what he says. ’ ’ 2nd. What a ministerial student is sup posed to be. This sentence developed shows that he should live a pure life and be so pure and holy that he would have the respect of and influence over all he associates with. 3rd. Are we using this influence for the good? A glimpse of the student body will give this answer. Those that have come here this session can see the growth of the Christian influence since school opened, showing that the ministerial stu dents are, to a certain degree, living this Christian life. Mr C. B. Riddle was appointed to lead for our next meeting. We are anticipat ing fl. ';ood meeting. Let every member come and give his idea of the subject. C. S. LITERARY SOCIEIES. I’SIPUELIAN. The I'sipheliau literary society met last Friday evening to enjoy the benetits of a literary program. W'e were not disappointed, for the program was in deed a good one. iSome of the best work rendered was as follows— 1. A Biography. 2. Essay. J. Original Story. i. Benefits denvtd from Co-cdu, a- tional schools. Benefits derived from non-co-jeduca- tional schools. i^iano Solo. Debate—Query, resolved, that idealis tic studies are more benelieial to girls than realistic. The papers discussing the debate were very good, which showed work and re search. The negative was the winning side. Those deserving special mention were -Misses Nina I'innix, I’earl Jones and Gertrude Mason—iiisses Nina Pinnix and Jearl Jones had papers on the de bate, Miss Gertrude Mason rendered a beautiful piano solo. Music adds so much to the program, for music often times gives inspiration to tjiose taking Jjart in the literary program. We feel that to enjoy a few hours of real pleas ure and benefits is to go to tihe Psiphe- lian Society Hall on Friday evenings. A. C. B. No taking your shoe off to see il' you can find where the- hurt comes from if you wear shoes bought here. For tliere will be no hurt.

IN THE CLIO HALL. The program which was rendered on Friday evening, last was very interesting. All items were well prepared and deliver ed in a creditable manner. Each partici pant showed that he was deeply interest ed in society work, and that he was doing all that he could for his own welfare and the welfare of his society. Among the many items of the pro gramme there are three, especially, that 'deserve special mention. These were cur rent topics, an oration, and the debate. Current topics were given by Mr. C. W. Rountree. His main topics were “The fortification of the Panama Canal,” and “The freedom of the Fillipinos.” The oration for the evening was ren dered by Mr. W. R. Hardesty—subject being—“duty.” The debate for the evening was the most important item, as is usually the case. The question resolved itself thus: That, the masistrates system as it exists should be abolished. Tlie affirmative went on to show its de fects in detail—how many cases are smuggled up in the little magistrate courts and compromised when they should have gone to a higher >ourt. The negative argued that the present system is the best system that we can have, as there has been efforts put forth to improve upon it, and it has not been done yet. Many cases were pointed out wherein it has been very efficient. The negative was the winning side. Best speaker on the affirmative was R. N. Miller. Best on the negative was K. W. Ix)ftin; oratorically, W. R. Hardesty. C. S.' .1 FOELOUX OLD irO.l/.LY It was a bleak, snowy day; the train was late; the waiting room was dark and smoky, and the dozen women, old and young, and a few men, who sat waiting impatiently, all looked cross, knv spirit ed, and stujiid. 1 thought, as I looked around, that my fellow bciiies were a very uninteresting set. Just then a forlorn old woman, shak ing with palsy, came in with a basket of wares for sale, and went about offering them to those seated in the station. No body bought anything from her, and the poor old soul stood blinking at the door a minute as if reluctant to go out into the bitter storm again. She turned pres ently, and poked about the room, as if trying to find something, and then a lady dressed in black, who lay as if asleep on a sofa, opened her eyes, saw the woman, and instantly asked her in kind words: “Have you lost anything, ma’am?” “No, I’m looking for the heatin’ place, to have a warm ’fore I goes out agin.

My eyes is poor, and I don’t seem to find the furnace nowhere.” ‘‘Here it is,” and the lady led her to the steam radiator, placed a chair, and showed her how to warm her feet. “Well, now, that’s nice!” said the old woman, spreading out her ragged mittens to dry. “Thank you dear! This is nice and comfortable. I'm most froze today, be in’ lame and wabbly; and not selling much makes me kind of downhtsarted.” The lady smiled, went to the counter, bought a cup of coffee and some kind of food, carried it herself to the old woman, and said, as respectfully and kindly as if the poor creature had been dressed in silk and fur: “Won’t you have a cup of hot coffee? It’s very comfortable such a day as this.” “Do they give coffee at this depot?” cried the old woman in a tone of inno cent surprise that made a smile go round the room, touching their faces like a streak of sunshine. “Well, now, this is jest lovely,’’ she added, appreciatively, sipping away with a relish. “This does wtinr my very heart.” While “he refreshpd herself, telling her story, iTH'univhile, tin' bidy looked over the ])oor little wares in the basket, bought some things, and cheered the soul of the old woman by paying well for them. As 1 watched her doing this, I thought what a sweet countenance she had. I felt ashamed of myself that I had shak en my head when the basket was offered to me; and as I saw the look of interest, sympathy, and kindness come into the faces all around me, I wished that 1 had been the one to call it out. It was only a kind word and a friendly act, but somehow it brightened that dingy room wonderfully. It changed the faces of all wlio were present, and I think it touch ed all their hearts, for I saw many eyes follow the i)lain lady with sudden res pect, and wlien the old woman got up to go several persons beckoned to her and bought something, as if they wished to make amends for their first negligence. The simple little charity was a good ser mon to those who saw it, and I think each one went on his waj’ better for the short time spent in the dreary station.— Exchange. *4 PASSIXG TOUCH. Mrs. Phillips, waking to the glory of a May morning, was ashamed of herself at the sinking heart with which she fac ed it. But the task had to be done. Jen nie had outgrown all her last summer s dresses and must have new ones soon, for hot weather might be upon them any day; besides, putting it off only made it so much the harder. Yet even as she told herself these things, she was almost hoping that Mrs. Burgess would not be able to take care of Little Brother after all. HOTt;i^ HUFFINE Near Passenger Station Greensboro, N. C. Rates $2 up. Cafe iu conuectiou. Mrs. Burgess, big and cheerful, put an end to that way of escape an hour later, when she ran over for the baby. “I’ve just been longing for a chance to run off with him,” she assured his mother. “Don’t be surprised if you find us both missing when you come back.” Mrs. Philliiis tried to smile as she put Jennie’s best hat over the carefully brush ed hair. Jennie was very quiet, but her soft eyes were shining with excitement. She was just beginning to be old enough to want new dresses. Her mother, un derstanding the look, turned sharply away. That was what she could not bear —the buying cheap things for Jennie; that was what made shopping day a tor ture in anticipation, an agony in retro spect. When they reached the city, she hurri ed past the windows where little girls’ dresses were displayed, and turned her head resolutely when they passed the spring hats, decorated with bewildering knots and clusters of flowers. Jennie’s hat would have to be trimmed with stiff bows—if only Jennie’s mother had had any knack in her finger tips!—and Jen nie's little new gowns would have to be the cheapest ginghams. Setting her lips firmly she led the way to the gingham department; she went straight for the counter marked “Do mestic--(ii/u cents a yard,” and begun to look for something in blue to match Jen nie's eyes. As she stood there, two beau- tifully-gowned women passed. One of them shivered fastidiously and said to her companion: “Oh, do you see how any one can buy such cheap stuff?” Mrs. Phillips’ hand dropped from the counter, and the hot color surged into her face. The next moment a pleasant voice spoke beside her: “Aren’t these the prettiest things for little girl’s dresses? And they W’ear so splendidly! I always think that if I had a little girl I’d love to make her dresses like these—pretty enough for any body, but not too pretty to live in, you know.” *\jrs. Phillips’ eyes, full of pain, met a pair of sweet and friendly ones beneath a marvelous hat. “Do you really?” she cried. “I do, indeed,” the other answered, gently. “You see—I have no little girl.” Mrs. Phillips drew a sharp breath, but the look in her eyes changed. “Jennie,” she said, “which do you want -—the pink or the blue?”—Youth’s Com panion. Bobby: “I’ve been an awful good boy since I started going to Sunday school, haven’t 1?” Mother: “Yes, dear, you’ve been very good indeed.” Bobby: “And you don’t distrust me any more, do you?” Mother: “No, dear.” Bobby: “Then why do you continue to hide the pie?”
