Judge Not- One saw a person of despicable character—another saw a person who had a lovely whistle, his only really good accom- but plishment. He may have been worthless, an outcast; 'with his cheery whistle he had helped someone. Silly story perhaps, but it carries a message. Do you ever stop to think which of the three people you represent? Are you seeing only .the niire of cussedness that makes the person human or do you seb' his eyes turn heavenward as he clutches for a star— a trait that proves beyond a doubt that man was created with divine aspirations. The world is full of people who can see the mire on others' feet, but never their clutch for the star. Inside of everyone of us we are yellow—yet we are brave. We are honest and at the same time liars; sages this minute and .fools the next. This is easy to see in others, but not in ourselves. During the recent glorious services many of us have realized anew the existence of our Almighty Father. We have pledged ourselves to do His service and show the world we are living for Hirh. Perhaps even in the near future many of us, because of the mire, will waver—but let us not be hasty in our judgment of each other. See your neighbor as he reaches for a star and give him the boost that will plant his feet on i higher ground. —G. D. ' A Good Motto- The motto of the local coaching system may go something like this, "Do not do for the student what he can do for him self." In some cases the college student has never realized that 'he could do some things for himself if he desired. When one (Reaches the phase of life known as college, then it is time to . put away foolish ideas of inability and make a go of this thing * colled life vigorously. Our efficient coaches have been employed by the college at no extra cost to us to give us extra help in those subjects which, we find most difficult. They are not in their places four nights a week to do our work for us, but to make the way clear for us to do it ourselves. We must cultivate ambition, ; eelf-nelionCe, determination, and pluck in order to become students of independent efficiency. Tackle that scholastic prob lem with all the ability you have; and then, when there seems ■ no other way to make accomplishments, others will be willing to help you do that which you cannot do alone. • ; —R. M. B. Although the student revival has ended formally, the work started nearly two weeks ago has not abated. On Sunday evening, February 9, Dr. O. E. Sams began a series of revival services, and during the week hundreds of students came for ward to rededicate their lives to the work of Christ. Powerful from the first hour, the revival made itself felt also through the student addresses in chapel. There various students paved the way for tremendous suc cesses evidenced each night. In a recent interview, Mr. Lynch had this to say of the week-long revival: "The meet ing was the climax of a spiritual awakening that has been in cubating for sometime. A deep undercurrent of interest has been manifested by the rededi cations and conversions of students each Sunday. It equals any revival held in this church in the last few years." Encouraged by an indomi table spirit, many students have worked all year laying the foundition for just such a timely revival as this. Given encouragement by overwhelm ing successes the world will go on to further height. Your Opinion Question: Why do boys and girls have to go in different doors in the dining hall? Answers: Mary Lee Ellington: During football season it is per fectly obvious. Dick Proctor: Huhl Just try getting Bartling, Cunningham and Bowen through the same door. Dot Pearce: Why kill the thrill of prolonged anticipation? John West: The survival of the fittest still holds true. Ellie Mae White: There's no future in it. Grady Dover: Very sensible! Girls don't wook good wif bwoken wegs! Miss Mildred Hardin: Think of the overcoats the girls would have to stumble over! George Blake: Could it bo the six-inch rule? Rebecca Gulley: There is no reason why they should go in different doors. Mavis Powers: It's just a tra dition is all I can tell you. Erma Morris: I think it's silly! Omelia Robinson: The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and with food around 'hey would trample us beyond recognition. Jerry O'Neal: There would 'ie a definite violation of the six-inch rule. Hereafter—That Is Today- It was only the last word in a summary of a Faraday ex- ^erim'eht, but into that one word Thomas Edison breathed the plan of Tiis entire life. It isn't yesterday that we are building the leaders of tomorrow; it is today. Mars Hill is proud of the leaders that she has produced in the past and is equally proud Pf the leaders she is producing today. It takes good followers to make good leaders. Followers are those people who never get the spotlight, but to whom fall the work and responsibility of the job. It is their duty to do the job well and then to allow the one who only planned it to take the praise. What we are to bo hereafter, we are becoming TODAY. Whether we were followers of leaders will make little difference when the time comes to add np all the efforts, all the trials, all the success, emd from the total to subtract the failures. Will the Judge then be dble to say: "Here was a man. Well done, thy good and 'faithful i^ervant—enter thou into thy reward." Hereafter? What about today? —G. D. TOURING (Continued from page 1) hose. That was her "most ex citing moment." Mr. Dickerson studied at L. S. U. When someone asked him what he did, he replied, "Do you think I went 900 miles away just to come back and tell you what I did?" Mr. DeShozo studied English at the University of Southern California for eight weeks this oast summer. When Mrs. De Shazo was asked how she liked California, she replied, 'Um-m-m, I liked it!" The pro fessor vows that he lost all his dignity while revolving in a never-ceasing rolling barrel at one of the amusement parks.' POETS’ CORNER 'Spat 1 n MY CONCEPTION I know there's good in every man. There's truth and love and joy. And little things will bring them out From every girl and boy. I heard a girl say recently, "That boy is bad clean through." But have you noticed little things That he would say or do? One day I sow him pat a dog— A grin played on his lips. The puppy wriggled in his joy. And rendered playful hips. I saw him pass a little boy And chuck him neath the chin; And when the child smiled up at him. He answered with a grin. I know the Lord can proudly In Heaven take his stand. And say that He has always pu t Some good in every man. —Agnes A. Buxton. M ,otal of ^^ows h ctrker :avor.

Hill CAIRO, February 18.—Brit ish offensive has spread south ward toward Ethiopian-Su- danese areas, and the frontier post of Kumurk, near the head waters of the Nile has been re captured. British forces now claim 10,000 sq. miles of Italian Somaliland. It is surprising tha. no report cf these activities was given out last week when the advances of the British in North Africa were so forceful.

LONDON, February 17.— Great Britain has mined the approaches to her Singapore base in the Far East in emswer to menacing threats of the Japa nese establishment of bases close by. Notice has been given to the government of Japan that any aggressive step would be answered by a blockade of her supplies vital to conduct the trade routes, which would emt Chinese War. Preceding the mine-sowing, Britain had sta tioned troops, naval and air forces, at Malay's frontier. To date the Japanese have been strengthening their forces in French-Indo-China. The British have been on guard to de termine if cm invasion is actu ally intended, or if the act has been an effort to smoke-scaeen the European developments. BITOLJ, YUGOSLAVIA, February 17.—Reports reaching press agents stated that the Greek advances during the past few days hove resulted in the capture of 2,000 Italians and large quantities of war ma terials.
