THE CANE-SPREE MAN ]
By JOHN D. McCREADY
c— ,*
Don’t judge by appearances.
And don't underestimate a man.
He may have hidden resources
that will surprise you.
Cane spree time at the college
had came, and feeling was run
ning high between the freshmen
and the sophomores. A crowd
from the two large classes had
gathered in the gym to watch
their mates as they took part in
gruelling contests of strength,
skill and dogged endurance.
A cane spree is a struggle be
tween two men for the posses
sion of a thick, stout cane. It
begins as the contestants stand
facing each other, each gripping
the cane with both hands. At a
signal they try to wrest the
cane away. Twisting, jerking,
rolling over each other on the
mat almost every imaginable
device is resorted to in the ei
fort to wrench the stick out of
the hands of the opponent. Few
varieties of athletics are mohe
rugged.
A momentary hush fell over
the crowd as the first two an
tagonists were called to the mat.
The soph was a tall awkward
looking fellow—anything but at
tractive. The first-year men
beamed with satisfaction as they
saw their representative advanc
to meet him—a handsome, well
built freshman, glorious in his
self-confidence. They were sure
that by superior strength he
would make quick work of his
ungainly opponent, and thereby'
humble the whole sophomore
class.
The signal was given and the
struggle began. The freshman,
handsome as a future "Mr.
America,” intended to win the
contest in short order —that was
plain. He jerked at the cane,
and twisted it vigorously. But
the other man was not td .be
immediately overcome. He held
on grimly. Then the robust
freshman pinned him to the mat
and tried by rolling over him
and butting him in the stomach
to make him give up the stick.
But the bony soph gripped the
cane like a human bulldog who
didn’t know how to let go.
The sophomores, breathlessly

out of his opponent’s weary
hands.
The unexpected winner that j
day was as homely in appear- ,
ance as a great American whose j
birthday comes in the month of
February Abraham Lincoln. |
And he was as tenacious of pur- ,
pose as the rail-splitter Presi- 1
dent. He was known as a hard
student. By a strange coinci
! dence he sat in one of his
\ classes next to a studept whose
name was Shirk. If that fact
had any influence on him, it ,
was only to spur him on to
greater industry. In his habits
of study, work was his watch
word.
To his religious duties the
cane-spree victor brought the
same earnestness and Steadfast
ness of purpose that marked
ibim in every other field. Those
j who watched him taking part
in the young people's activities
of his church—in a suburban
; community near the vast city
I where he attended college—
were reminded of a passage in
the O’d- Testament. ‘'Whatsoever
thy hand findeth to do. do it I
with thv might,” I
Going through college, with I
God as his guide, this young i
man, who seemed to freshmen
eyes so unpromising, had prom
ise after promise fulfilled in his
life. After an outstanding rec
. ord as a student he was invited
to join the faculty of his great
university in one of its scien
tific departments. Those who
raw his name on the cane- ,
spree lists saw his name inter
in the catalog of Columbia Uni
versity. New York City: and
they found that, name a fitting '
one lor such a man. For his
name was Lincoln, and his last
name Work. (

I GREATNESS IN THE
KINGDOM
' International Sunday School
Lesson for January 18. 1959.
, Memory Selection; “Whoever
I would be great among you must
be your servant.” —(Mark 10:43).
' Lesson Text: Mark 10:32-45.
'
This lesson should impress
• adults with the fact that Jesus
’ defined greatness in terms of un
selfish service.
The Scriptures we are study- j
• ing today point out Jesus’ inter-'
pretation of greatness. When
James and John, two of his dis
• ciples, requested him to let them
sit. one at his right hand and one
at his left hand, he told them this;
besuest was not his to give, i
1 That it must be saved for those!
who were prepared to receive it. j
We read, further, of how the oth- j
I er ten disciples waxed indignant!
at James and John, wdiereupon
Jesus adjured them to serve each J
• other, saying: “For the Son of;
man also came not to be served
but to serve, and to give his life J
• as a ransom for many.” (Mark
10:45).
Jesus was preaching humility
of spirit, as he had preached this
' same theme many times before.
The desire to be great, and to
obtain glory, is a strong force in j
lus all. If it is abused, however. I
it must be counted among the
evils mankind must eliminate to;
survive. However, Jesus reeog- j
nized the fact that the desire to 1

| be great can also be a good thing
under tne right eircumslances.
Let us, therefore, cy to define
what constitutes t.ee greatness.
Greatness is a wyrH that needs
definition there arc so ver)
many constructions which can be
put upon it, all varying to the
same degree that individuals
vary. It can refer to size, as for
j example, a great ship, or a house
lor anv other object. In the sense
in which we use here, however,
it doesn't refer to size. We arc
using it in connection with that
; quality of being which is digni
fied, noble, majestic, and worthy.
1 That is what Jesus meant bv
greatness. These are spiritual
qualities that are hard to come by
in these days of stress and
! strain.
■ It seems fairly certain that Je
i sus had found a stream of person
■ al nourishment coining into his
i life through his service to other
people. There is the ring of per
sonal experience in what he says.
His service to others gave him no
| power, wealth or position, even
; by the wildest stretch of imagi
j nation! But his service to others
j did give him nobility, inward
dignity, spiritual majesty and
mental worthiness. This is the
greatness obtained in service.
To minister in Jesus' stead or
to take his yoke upon us does not
mean that we are to merely imi
j tate his outward acts. Our deeds
I must spring from deep inside, j
j from well-springs of love and
; caring. Even the simplest, most .
humble service rendered to a 1
