ONE ON THE EDITOR.
Seldom indeed do we find cooperation
in modern life better illustrated than in
the case of Mr. Heatwole and our absent
Editor, Prof. Campbell. The Professor,
it nill be remembered, started for Bos
ton during the (Jliristmas holidays but his
toes were frostbitten in New York City
and he returned to Elon without having
accom^’Jished his purpose. A few days
ago, inspired by the achievements of one
Amos Rippey, he made up his mind to
try again and telling the folks here he was
going to the inauguration, got ready to
go (to Boston.)
Being somewhat excited, the Professor,
in trying to reach the window blind by
standing on the wash stand, upset the
latter with all appurtenances thereto in
cluding several gallons of water and, as
water was at a premium about that time,
the righteous indignation of his roommate,
Jj. Hitchinson, caused his de[xirture to
be ratlier precipitate.
Mr.lleatwole, thinking R. A. was going
trt WnsliinftoT* Imd to oo nlong, »+* cnnr«‘-
Tbe first thing they did in Washington
was to buy return tickets to Elon College,
nnd a good thing it was for soon after
their return they were seen in 'Dr. Ware’s
Drug Emi>orium drinking milk shake from
two straws. This represented Victor’s last
nickel, the Professor having spent his
for corn q faster, which he shared with
his companion like a scholar and a gentle
man.
If Mr. Heatwole had not gone to
Washington, Prof. Campbell might have
gone to Boston sure enough; furthermore
he wouldn’t have got the milkshake.
Prof. Campbell had not gone to
Washington, Mr. Heatwole would have
returned a married man, furthermore he
wouldn't have got the corn plaster.
Hurrah for Cooperation in Modern
Life! Wonder whp tbe ladies don’t like
it?
Committee.
few of tliose who talk to help share thei^
burdens and responsibiliities, if the world
had less fault finders aud more duty seek
ers, if every man pushed his own busi
ness with the same interest he has in his
neighbor’s att'airs, there would be more to
do and more jjlople to do it.

IF.
If you happen to be dull in your studies
you are called a “bone head,” if you are
extra bright and lead your class you are
called a smart Alex.', if you hang ai’ound the
drug store and postoffice you are called a
dead beat, if you have so much to do that
you haven’t the time to stop and chat
with ever%’ fellow whom yon meet, they
pnv you have the “big head,” if you
talk to the girls on first Sunday, you are
a sport: if von do not. yon are not “pop
ular.” If all those who are dull in their
l>ooVs had had the chnnce of those who
are bright, if those who kill time had
more to do, if those who are busy had a
NOTE.
The Editor spent the greater part of
the week in Washington (and Boston)
and the Business Manager is re^].bnsibte
for a part of this issue. However the
Editor returned in time to give the last,
copy its proper touch and add his usual
“class” in the make up of the paper. ‘

Iirotl\r ministerial students, y 'i missed
a good meeting tonight, wliat ii--^-''Ui
cuse for not altendingf Do you tbii-'-S
God will accept your excuse?
Rev. J. F. Morgan gave us a spirited,
hut short talk that was enjoyed by afi.
He used as his subject: “Jesus and Lhe
Church moves on to help a soul in iieo^,”
taken from the nineteenth verse iie
ninth chapter according to St. Maff^*w.
He began by showing how readily Jesus
and his disciples were to help the ruler’s
daughter and also, while on the way there,
to help the woman with the disease she
hud been suffering with for years. The
man that was boriw; 'hy foiij' and Let
down through the house-top was another
illustration of how Jesus and his disciples,
the church, moved on to help the needy.
He closed his remarks by showing that
the nations need more workers in the
church.
The need for more Reapers to gathe*
the ripe harvest. Mr. Hooker is leader
for next meeting. C. S.
—Reports come that two Welsh mi
ners, Stephen .leifrles and John Griffith*,

which is said to have as remarkable man
ifestations as the one led by Evan Rob
erts ten years ago.
