F, OPIE SPEAKS AT CHAPEL mORSOAf Speaks on “The Unconq.uered Empire,’ Pointing Out to Students the Im portance of Self-Mastery, On‘ of the best addresses given at chapel this year was that delivered 'Phursday morning by Rev. Thos. F. Ol>i^“. rector oE the Episcopal church at ]>urlington, N. C. R'*v. Mr. Opie chose for his subject, “The I'nconquered Empire.” Man is a conqueror and the whole history of the race shows that they have been con- quiM'ors. Alan has conquered the three fold kingdom; Water, air and earth. Wo conquer the earth by destroying the weeds and making the land to bloom with (lowers. The eaj’th contains vast re sources of the elements , quite a few haven’t been discovered. These elements which are God's wealth have been ap- liroj)riatcd by man to make himself king. Distance isn’t any concern now. When Columbus and his men crossed the mighty deep there was great fear amongst all as sight of land was lost, but Columbus, the groat hero, said, “Sail on! Sail on I” In many places where wnter was de stroying the earth man has turned its course and the water is now used to run ntachinery. Alan has condensed and li(]uili’d air. lie also flies in the air as if on the wings of eagles. \Yhat is the nnconqnered empire? “lit*, who ruleth his own si)irit is bet ter than he that taketh a city.” We are the unconqnered empire. Are we con trolling ourselves? What are we doing wilh our bodies? Suppose we could use our hands as we can use the earth. The church has a task to find consecrated hiuids to play hymns. >\'c use our hands for ourselves. What are we doing with our tongues as teachers and students? \V(* can consecrate our tongues to God and then uot always be singing hymns. “Self-reverencc, self-knowledge, self- control. these three alone lead life to sovereign power.” hen the world l>e- gins to think in these terms we will have world peace. We think ourselves either to heaven or hell. Our destiny is de termined by our thinking. Life is infinitely beautiful to those that tiave a mind to make it see the beautiful, the good and the true. I he world needs men with strong wdls to be noble, courageous and Christ-like. Ihe soul of man is like a flower hidden under the leaves, trying to push its way up and out to the light. Man hasn’t con quered the earth without tools. An m- strument in conquering the spiritual world is religion or Christianity. Have we learned how to use it? Let us con sider where we stand s))iritually. To conquer the unconquered empire, we must think truly, act rightly, love sincerely, nnd trust in God securely. LENOIR ANO ELON WIN IN INIER-C0LLE6IATE DERATE HELD FRIDAY Elon Wins 3-0 Here, Loses 2-1 at Lenoir—Peel, Atkinson Terrell and Patrick Represent Elon. WAR DEBTS IS THE QUERY 'I’he second inter-collegiate debate be tween Elon and Ijonoir C'olleges was held 1* riday night. The question for discus sion was, “Resolved, That the Inter- Allied War Debts Should be Cancelled.” Elon upheld the negative side at home and the affirmative at Lenoir. Henry Peel and J. O,^ Atkinson, Jr., were the Elon negative'speakers, while W. B. Terrell and AI. L. ;Patrick defend ed the affirmative at Lenoir. Elon won at home by a three to nothing vote, while Lenoir won over Elon by a two to one count. 'J’he judges at Elon were D. J, AValker, E. N. Caldwell and S. .T. Hinsdale. The marshals were S. H. Abell, Clark Hook, Ruby Rowland, and Clarine Linclon. It was a forcnsic battle of the first magnitude. The aflirmative centered tlieir arguments ui>on three points: J. Conditions require cancellation; 2. Can cellation would be good l)usiness for all concerned; and P>. The United States is morally bound to cancell the debts. In an able endeavor to i)rove the first two points, Air. lihyne stated that Europe was not able to return to pre-war stability. This, he asserted, was due to the unequal exchunge rTit«\ Aloreover this unstable exchange rate prohibited trade between the TTnited States and Kuropi*. Europe is al)le to pay only in goods. But America wishes to sell, not buy. Therefore, Air. Rhyne argued that if America did not buy, the allies could not pay and the debts must be cancelled, or they would be repudiated. America, averred Air. Rhine, would gain far more by the resumption of trade which would follow the cancellation than she would lose by cancelling the debt. Mr. Ritchie in a speech which was oratorical as well as fact-ladden. affirm ed that the war was our war and that the money loaned the allies was merely to pay them to fight our -war until we entered it with men and arms. In glow ing terms he lauded America’s former policy of helping distressed and down trodden humanity. We failed to keep our promise made to the allies at Versailles, he stated, and this desertion on America’s part justified France in her sru]»endous military career which has made her unable to pay. , Now. con cluded Air. Ritchie, if the United States denumds ])ayment. she will be acting the )>art of Shylock toward the broken allies, the faith of the thousands who now lay dead on Flanders field will be broken, and the noble ideals of America’s former policy toward suffering, calamity stricken humanity will die an ignominious death. The negative, however, did not so readily agree with the statements of the affirmative as the allies might desire. Air. Peel, 0]>ening for the negative, asserted that the allies are able to pay and that each of them have foreign in vestments, the value of which greatly exceed the debt which they wish to be cancelled. In further protest of the allies’ inability to pay. he quoted statistics to prove that each of them had spent for military purposes since the war, from one and one-fourth to six times as much as they owe America. He affirmed that the allies are not trying to pay. Instead they are investing their money in military equipment and foreign securities. In reply to the assumption that we cannot receive this enormous amount of gold, he (ContiLued on Page Two) M. W. HOOK RESIGNS AS PRESIDENT OF COLLEGE AI. W. Hook, president of Beth lehem C'ollege.

INTERESTING CANVASS E OF MEMRERS OF SENIOR CLASS AT ELON Class Has Forty Members Who Express Choice for Life Work; Teaching Profession Leads. MINISTRY COMES SECOND (By S. AL LYNAM) A personal canvass of the Senior class here reveals some interesting information. Forty Seniors, twenty men and the same number of women have personally ex pressed their intended choices of life work. I’he choices vary widely, includ ing eighteen different fields. The teaching profession leads with eleven, seven women and four men, who are planning to give their lives to teach ing. The Christian ministry runs second with seven, ail men, who will fill pulpits. This is the largest number of ministers ever graduated at a single time by Elon College. Six of these men will work in the Christian church to w'hich the college belongs, and one is a pastor in the AI. E. Church, South. Alissions and business tie for the third place, having three each. The future missionaries are all women while those going into just busi ness are all men. Two w’omen, one mar ried and the other to be married, ex pressed themselves as planning to make homes. There are two physicians in the class, one man and one w’oman. The remaining twelve fields are repre sented by one each. The educational field seems to predominate here since there is one who plans to devote herself to public school music, and another to the teaching of art in connection with its commercial value. One man is going into the educational field other than teaching, and one woman is to be a re ligious education director. Science seems to be equally popular. There is to be one electrical engineer, a civil engineer, and a soil expert. A fourth is going into some form of scientific work. All the aspirants to the scientific field are men. One young wo man plans to enter the nursing profes sion. She believes that it liolds opportun ities for a college woman larger than the profession of the physician, and ap peals to her more. One woman is planning to be a public accountant, another is to devote herself to the work of an accompanist for a voice teacher. One of the women of the class plans, after a brief teaching career to study law, and devote her energies to the Juvenile court work. All the women members of the Senior class express themselves favorably toward (Continued on Page Two) NEW CATALOGOES ARE NOW REING DISTRIROTED Few Changes Are Made—All Depart ments Are Retained—School Opens September 3rd.
