be published in The Hilltop. This issue the guest writer is Professor
R. M. Lee.)
More than nineteen centuries ago the Angels of Heaven pro
claimed that only by Men of Good Will should peace on earth be es
tablished. They came saying: “Glory to God in the Highest, and on
earth peace Among Men of Good Will.” On this same day Christ
was born, The Prince of Peace, who brought to the world a new mes
sage of Peade and Love. Christ said: “A new commandment I give
unto you, that ye love one another. Ye have heard that it hath been
said. Thy shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy, but I say
unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to
them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and
persecute you.”
Men have regarded these as the words of an idealist and a
dreamer—as an idealism which is impossible of attainment. Men go on
loving their friends and hating their enemies without understanding
that in so doing they are placing a sword at their own throats. Human
experience has proven the rule given by Christ—the rule of Good
Will and unselfish service—to be the only possible way by which
war and hatred can be banished from the world and the reign of
peace established.
“There is no way to peace except as the will of the peoples may
open it,” declares Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes. In the spirit of
the peoples lies the destiny of the world. The world will be lifted up
to the sunlit plains of peace, prosperity, and happiness if the Men of
Good Will everywhere shall assert their will, multiply their number,
and do their appointed work in the world.
It is within the power of business men, statesmen, and educators
of today, to insure the safety and prosperity of America and the J
world by investing more billions in the moral and spiritual welfare j
of the children of the world than in battleships, poison gas, and
bombing planes.
Let us save the children of our land. Let them not inherit the
hatreds of the world today. Let us cultivate in their hearts the love
and spirit of unselfish services which are theirs by every law of nature,
and which may now be made strong and permanent for the salvation
of the world in their generation. R. M. L.

Library Gets Books
By Two Cartoonists
Are you, too, a little “Henry”
fan? Then you are quite familiar
with the little fellow’s undressed
pate, skinny neck, and his numer
ous wordless escapades. The first
idea of Carl Anderson, creator of
Henry”, took form as a broken-
down horse and two small boys.
One boy was quite bald. The other
boy lifted him up until his naked
head pressed against the horse’s
sagging mid-section. The second
boy then asked, “Does your head
feel warmer now, Henry?” And
thus was born, little “Henry”.
Would you like to draw car
toons and perhaps be the creator
of a little “Glen”, or a little
Lula Belle”, or some other such
youngster? Then make a rapid
dash for the Library and get Carl
Anderson’s “How to Draw Car
toons Successfully.”
Another interesting and small
book for aspiring young artists is
“Pen Drawing”, by Arthur L.
Guptill. It not only demonstrates
many of the pen techniques corn-
money employed, but attempts “to
inspire the reader to experiment
freely so that he will eventually
develop a style which is truly
personal”.

The Beginning of The End
Last September a year ago we who are now seniors matriculated
at Mars Hill, ready to begin our courses with a junior college diploma
being our goal. Turn back the pages of time for a few minutes and
chase the memories that each of you hold of that first day.
Possibly you recall how homesick you were the first week here.
No matter how you felt, you were here for some reason. 'Then stop
the clock on the tinie that this hour represents. It brings the begin
ning of our last semester, and the end of a junior college career, and
the end of a college career for some. What use have we, as seniors,
made of this time that we have spent at Mars Hill? Has it been a
painful obligation for you as it has for some few? Or have you valued
your time, and regardless of how you liked the school made the most
■of it, really getting something?
We are entering the last lap of the home stretch. The days that
you have spent here have faded into history and leave you with a
realization of your earlier dreams, or a renewal of resolutions to
realize your desires in the future. Some have attained those things
which they set out to accomplish, while others have spent two years
without reaching any definite accomplishment.
Yet many races are won on the home stretch. Let’s tighten the
pace and make our closing stanza at Mars Hill a dramatic, valuable
and colorful finish. —E. F. B.
Dear Johnny:

write you. I guess you remember
the old Rambler, don’t you? Right

believe me when I tell you that
yesterday Rodney Squires had on
a leather jacket, and he’s the
Eskimo of the campus. It’s so cold
around the curve from Brown to
the “Ad” Bldg., that the fellows
have to look down to see whether
they have on their pants when
they go around it.
