THE TWIG
A rich but very eccentric man died.
The clergyman, wlio was young and
new to the parish, thought it a fltting
opiiortunity to call and comtovt the
wklow. “You must not grieve,” he
tolil her. “The body that lies here is
not your husband. It is merely a
husk, an empty shell—the nut haa
gone to heaven.”
Nell: I should just like to catch a
man trying to kiss me!
.lant't; Of course you would, dear,
but you iieedu’t admit it!
Nettie; "What makes you scratch
your head?"
Mildred: Because I am the only one
that knows it itches.
Every one admires pure grit except
in spinach.
Davie Belle: You look depressed.
What are you thinking of?
Mary Lib: My future.
Davie; What makes it seem so hope
less?
M. L.; My past.
He: You misjudge me, dearie. Lying
is not one of my failings.
She: It certainly isn’t. It’s one of
your most pronounced successes.

‘•That's what I call love.”
'Oh no; It’s paralysis.”
Jr: Pop, why was Adam made first?
Sr: To give him a chance to say a
little something, I suppose.
"Ah wins.” "What yuh got?” "Three
aces." “No. yuh don’t; Ah wins.”
“What you got?” "Two nines and a

cussion. This destiny concerns us
deeply because the white race is the
only race which, as a whole is Chris
tian. However, tendencies are for the
nou-white races to gain supremacy.
This is true because of two things:
First, the population of the whites
is diminishing because of three reasons:
(irat, t'amilies of white race are be-
coming smaller. France already
doomed—her birth rate and death rate
are practically on a line. Same thing
is true of Britain. Second, when white
man makes foreign countries safe for
himself he also makes it sate for the
people of otiier races. Thus, by de
creasing rate of mortality, he aids in
the increase o£ their population. Third,
the riddance of countries of their hea
then customs preserves hundreds of
people who formerly were lost In
human sacrifice.
In the second place, the white man
owns about nine-tenths of all the land
and in so doing has made either poten
tial or actual enemies of other races.
This ownership has come about by mili
tarism, in which the white man haa
taught his brother how to kill, and by
our monopolization of ail the valuable
economic resources of the world.
It seems that the white race is
doomed unless we chriatianize first,
Europe, then, America; and, after
that, send the gospel to the 'whole
world.
The last lecture gave a bird’s eye
view of Baptist work in Europe, The
Baptists are engaged in active mission
work in Spain, Hungary, Eumania,
Hussia and Prussia.
There has been a renaissance of
Roman Catholicism since the Groat War

relatively harder. lu summing up the
work. Dr. Gill took the accomplisli*
ments by countries:
Spain—not so encouraging. Christi
anity so long stifled in blood that it
has had no chance since llrst three
coiituries. Tolerance now but not
liberty.
The work east of the Adriatic is
oncouraglng. The Hungarians embrace
Christianity eagerly. Rumania is
a place of persecution but the tiny
spark of Baptist movement placed
there tlirce years ago has now become
a flame. The Russians are perhaps our
greatest subjects. They are musical
a trait which gives to them height and
depth of soul; missionary, mystical,
have a martyr-like soul, that is, they
don’t mind dying for a cause which
they thiuli right.

The following toast to the new Astros
was given by Louise Craven,
“In the life of an astronomer there is
one day which ranks above all others
the day a new atar comes into his
range of view as he points his teles
cope toward the heavens. It matters
not that many new stars have been
added to his list in the past—the last
new one always seems to him the best
of all.
“We Astros are not astronomers, but
we do love to behold new stars. To
night the new members of our society
have appeared for the firat time and as
to the astronomers so to ua the last
new stars seem best of all. We wel
come you to your place as seekers of
stars, not only human stars like your
selves but stars of aspiration, kindli
ness, and love. Together let us take up
our work of star building, using our so
ciety as a means to attain the happi-
nesa of becoming Astrotektons in deed
and in truth.” To which a response
was given by Evelyn Squires.
"Here’s to th© Astros!
From the new to the old.
Will carry together
The White and Gold.
Our ideal evermounting
Will follow its light
For the path blazed before ua
Leads away from the night
Makers of this path, to you
This our promise: May we do
All that in our power lies
To uphold the post behind
With a faith that never dies;
May we strive with you to find
Our star ideals; and with you
Blaze a trail into the blue
Far ahead. Our followers here
May they find Mother Astro near
To lead them upward and afar
To an Ideal and a Star!
Frances Barnhill gave a toa’st to our
deans;
“To those whom all their “children”
love.
Although they see our every move—
They choose just whom we are to meet
These guardians of the register sheet.
And though the watchful eye they
wield,
All things are foi’ the best, w© feel.
And now, dear deans, with hearts so
true,
We pledge our love, and a toast to you.
Miss Lawrence responded.
“Although we guard tho register aheet
And .sometimes chaperone you on tho
street
We love you.
When you are good we give you A's
Anti praise you i'or your charming ways
When you aro bad you get our goat,
Ajid on you wc cannot dole.
Hut good or bad you are ours, you
know
And through tho years that come and
go
Wo’ll love you!”
