the value of training service to

the importance of an enlarge

topic Christ’s words, “Follow
me, and I will make you fishers

of men "vv’e must follow Christ.
This necessitates true consecra

and will. Each of the members

STUDENT OPINION
(Continued from Page 2)
of pity, sympathy, ridicule,
scorn, etc., of the whole town?
I thought about this all day,
dreamed about it that night,
pondered over it all next day,
and finally came to the conclu
sion that walking is much too
modern a thing for the people
of this age to readily accept.
Since they have never had to
walk they don’t know how much
fun it is. Probably in the next
generation they will accept this
new custom. But It Is so hard
to make people take up new
things!
So, since I have concluded
that walking Is the most modern
thing possible, I have decided
to fall right in with the new
fad. Really, it is quite the thing
to do, and I suggest that you try
it sometime—only, I warn you
not to wear your spike heels, be
cause in contact with a mile or
so of hard-surface they soon be
come rather boring. A. S.
