EDITORIAL What about W. H. S. vs. G. H. S’s? We knew we could; we said we would; we did. How does your room stand in the “High” Lite Subscription Campaign? We all realize that the High School is bad ly handicapped in lack of space. The build ings are often an eye sore because of the con dition the rooms are in. Every one is de lighted with the new method of improving the looks of the rooms. There is a committee ap pointed to see that the rooms are kept clean. This committee is to arrange for pictures and flowers tor each room, so that the rooms will be a little more cleanful looking. Who can do their best work in a room that has nothing to look at but blackboards and bare walls? We are glad to see that- the pupils of the High School are beginning to realize that they will be voting in a few years. Very few of these know anything about the different is sues and laws that will help to govern the election this year. For this reason we are glad to see that some of the teachers are tak ing time from their classes to teach the League of Nations and other issues of nation al importance. There are a great number of us who do not know the main article in the League of Nations. We read every day about article X, and very few when asked what ar ticle X is, can tell you anything about it. The Senior Class is trying to make the his tory this year as up-to-date as possible. We have already studied and taken up the con stitution and amendments. We are now going to take up the issues of the state and national elections. The first of the issues will be the League of Nations Covenant. We are to take this up and study each article fully. Each member of the class is to have a copy of the Covenant to preserve for future use. We are to secure election tickets from reg istration headquarters and the class will hold an election Nov. 2. This is to give every stu dent in the class a chance to learn how to vote in the proper manner. We will vote on the state and national candidates for office. The platform and candidates of each party will be taken up and studied to give each stu dent the right idea about each party. We want no misunderstanding concerning this. At the regular time January 1st, an election will be held. The Electorial College com posed of members of the class will be held. On March 4th, the formally elected Presi dent will be inaugurated. MARTIN LUTHER The noble:?! monument of modern Eu rope stands in the old town of Worms, erected fourteen j'ears ago in memory of tile man who was born in Eisleben at nine o’clock on the evening of the 10th of No vember, 1443, four hundred years ago. In the center of the group stands the stately effigy of Martin Luther overtopping all the rest, and around him are assembled the forerunners, the supporters, and the friends of him and of the Reformation, wliieh must always be most associated with his name, Martin Luther was the master of them all, Luther’s father, the Thuringian miner, lived in the little town of Mansfeld, and out of the hills he w'on with constant toil the money to send his bright, sturdy little boy to school. The young Luther got his earlier education at Madgeburg and Eise- nash. When he was eighteen years old he went to the University of Brfust and stu died classics and philosophy. And then Think, Plan, Build! THE BATITUDES OF BUSINESS Blessed the those who THINK for thought is the motive uower of action. The mainspring of success. Think Straight, Know exactly what you want. Set up a work to aim at—then Shoot, Blessed are those who PLAN for they carry the world forward. Planning is thought in harness. No lasting success comes without it. Blessed are those who BUILD for they add to civilization, and furn ish work for millions who neither think nor plan. True building—whether it be a bridge, a cathedral or a great business—is mans finest achievement. Thirty-two (32) years ago, we thought of a business that might merit the confidence of the thoughtful people. We planned on honest dealing, fair and courteous treatment to all, and have built on this foundation a business that we are proud of. Boys and girls, of the High School we give you this bit of history and philosophy with a hope that it might be an inspiration to you in your life work and to remind you that Hendrix is a mighty good place to buy Shoes, J. M. HENDRIX & CO. The Home of Good Shoes 223 South Elm Street there came the change. Some sudden shock, perhaps the sickness of a friend, perhaps the storm of timnder and light ning, sent him into the Augustenian clois ter and he became a monk. His old father protested, but it did no good. Buried out of sight for the next three years, he wres tled for his soul’s life. The fiercest mental struggling went on in his solitary cell, “I tormented myself to death,” he said, “to make my peace with God, but I was in darkness and found it not,” Then he was sent to Wettenberg to teach in the new un iversity, The fire was in his heart. The unsatisfied restlessness filled his soul. Then he W'ent up to Rome and saw, as all the world remembers, how there was no satis faction for him there. As he came back, now twenty-nine years old, the light began to daw'n. The Bible revealed its heart to him, ‘ ‘ The just shall live by faith, ’ ’ seem ed to ring out to him the divine answer to all his agonies and doubts. Then, five years later, Setzel came with his indul gences, and Dr, Martin Luther walked down the old main street of Wurtenberg and nailed his Reformation theses on the door of the castle church on All Saints’ Eve, the 31st of October, 1517, There they are today on the same church cast in per petual bronze. Think w'hat a youth that was! What a great preparation for a life! Three souls stand out in it forever: the meadow' just outside of Erfurt where, in the fury of the storm, with the lightning striking at his feet, he resolved to be a monk; the Augustenian convent where he fought over the new-found Bible for his soul; and the church door where he nailed up his theses against the indulgences of the pope. The scenes of resolution, of strug gles and of first decided actions—the three 1 Epiphamies of every opening life of power. It was owing to Luther’s fundamental character and greatness, and depth of his personal struggle after God, that he found his true place- among the Reformers, as their leader. Every complete and perma nent religious movement will have its mor alists, its mystics, its theologians, its eccle siastics, and its politicians. Of these char acters Luther really possessed the first tw'o. He was not properly a theologian;, John Calvin was that, Martin Luther in this century in Germany, and Oliver Crom well in the next century in England, on whom more than on any others the great gates seem to turn and open, which let the race through from the Old World into the New, And to the great scenes of history are added in the central period of Luther’s life these three: the field close to the gate of Wettenberg, where he burned the hull; the bishop’s palace at Worms, where he faced the Diet; and the room at the Wart- burg, where he translated the New Testa ment and whence he escaped out of the keeping of his two cautious friends w'ith his life in his hands to go and save his per plexed and suffering people. On a journey of peace-making and of friendship, Luther was taken very ill, and died on the 18th of February, 1546, Al most his last words before he passed into the perfect presence of the God whom he had loved ■ and served so long ,were words of faith and hope, the words of his Master, the words of the cross: “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit,” The man who dies with those words on his lips and in his heart goes forth to do the work of God in the immortal life, goes almost forth in influence upon the earth among the coming generations of mankind.
