Conwell, journalist, lawyer, traveler, lecturer and pastor, in Philadelphia, of the largest church In America, de livered the second, stsr course lecture of the spring term in Gerrard Hall Wednesday night - His subject was "Acres of Diamonds," and it was a rich and fine combination of wit, hu mor, sound common sense, good ad vice, caricature, mimicry, pathos and eloquence.- He set forth the gist of the lecture In the very beginning by telling a story of a contented farmer in a country of the East. A traveler stopped at his house one night and told him" of th value of diamonds and their power to purchase every thing desirable. The farmer was tak en with the idea, Inquired where dia monds could be found, was told that they were to bo found in river beds of clear streams of water.- With this he sold his farm, set out In search of them, traveled to many foreign places, spent all his money and at last died, after becoming exhausted with the vain search. Another. man bought the farm, and one day while plowing ifound a shining stone which proved to be a diamond, and upon Investiga tion the farm was found- to b the richest diamond deposit in the world. In other words, this man. had left In his own farm the very thing he had gone in search of all ovr the world. The lecturer emphasized the oppor tunities of making money which lie at every man's door if he will but dis cover them. "Wherever there is s human need, there Is a fortune for somebody.'

The current Is sue of The Southern Presbyterian has In its editorial column a very com plimentary review of Dr. Shearer's new book. "Studies in the Life of Christ" The article is signed with the familiar Initials "W. L. U" As an Introduction to his comments the writer remarks that "the Southern Presbyterian Church owes Dr. Shear er k large debt of gratitude. He has been our real leader In Chrlatian ed ucation for a third of a century. He has -done - more, than any other indi vidual to give the Bible its present commanding position In our denomi national schools and colleges. He was working along; these lines when other men thought he was only dreaming. His greatest dream, the South Atlantic Presbyterian Universi ty, has not yet come true, but I still hope it will." Dr. Lingle says this "his latest book Is his best; "They shall stilly bring forth fruit In old age." " While agreeing with Dr. Shearer In most of the positions he takes in the vol ume under review. Dr. Llngle causes to say that "Dr. Shearer holds stout ly to one view that I have never been able to fully accept. It Is that Jeho vah of the Old Testament is always the second person ef the Trinity. He has an entire chapter on this subject. I do not think that It can be proven. Take, for example, the one hundred and tenth Psalm. 'Jehovah salth un to my Lord, sit thou at my right hand, etc. In this verse 'my Lord' Is clearly thu second person of the Trinity. If that be true, who then la Jehovah V In the conclusion of the article this high testimony to Dr. Shearer as an authority Is given: "If the author of this little book could know how often tin is quoted as au thority on nny subjects by his form er students in a certain Presbyterian minister's association, at Its weekly meetings, and then remember . that thU same sort of thing Is going on all over the Southland, he would feel repaid for these thirty and five years of labor of love." - Dr. J. M. McConnell has been ask ed by the literary edjtors of the "Li brary of Southern Literature," a work to appear In 15 volumes, to con tribute some articles to its pages. Ho has already prepared a paper on President James K. Polk. Tho edit ors referred to are President Alder man, of the University of Virginia, and Dr. C.

The students and fuculty. recently had tiie pTeasure of having Mr. E. C. F.lmore. superintendent of education of Spartanburg county, for a talk at the cbapH. Superintendent Elmore ssfd that In addressing an audience at Wln throp College h felt as If hv was speaking only to teachers, for the rea son that a number of the ntudentg had tr.ught In the public schools and many r,f them wore preparing thsmsHves for teachers. "Every teacher should have ever before her mind the f.i-t that she Is an example In the com munity In which she teaches. She should throw around that community on)y what is best and uplifting." As an Illustration of the effect of sur roundings upon a person Superintend ent Elmore cited the Incident of the models for' the Savior snd his botravfr In Da Vinci's great ptiinting, "The Last Supper."' For the model of the Savior Da Vine! found a young Itall in boy-wlth ft strong, beautiful face. Af ter a long snd weary search of many months Da Vinci at last found a m in with a race showing In Its heavy lines such deep degradation as wrmed fit ting for the model of the betrayer. As he sittings were in prorress Ds Vine! found to his horror that the model of Judas was the same young man who had been his model for the savior The voune mnn had fallen In with evil associates and had depcend-'d to the lowest deDths of wickedness. 'This Incident," continued Superintendent Elmore, "shows you the effect of sur- roundlnrs and associations upon young susceptible persons.

Through rain and sleet? snd ice the town and college people came on last night to attend tho Philomathfan semi-annual celebration, which w-as held In the col lege auditorium. It was one of the wettest, mildest nights Due West has ever seen. Trees along the narrow streets and ' over the rumpus were losded to their limit with Ice, and in mnny places the walks were atmovt totally barricaded by broken and bend ing limbs. "All through the night the darkness was made mora hldioua by the pitiless wind as It tore down be fore It trees and branches and fences and wires. The Due West train was delayed, having to. stop every, few yards to rmove branccs and broken wires from the track. Fe out-of-J town pruyie were perrama m ucm (he celebration, but Due West turned out in full. For several years this VKlng Lear" weather has annually greeted the Phllomathian celebration. So the boys prepared for It In - time. The doors were kept closed all through the day and large Uunpa and oil stovea were kept burning. Two large coal-burning stoves were heated till they glowed red on the rostrum, and thus the hall waa comfortable, enough throughout the exercises. - The Clem son College Orchestra fur nished lively and spicy . music. The participants marched in from a rear door of the rostrum, and remained standing while Dr. F. T. Pressly en voked a divine blessing.. Mr. J. D'. McClelland, of. Pineville, N. C. was president of the. society and In a most cordial and happy manner welcomed the visitors to this twenty-eighth cele bration. He, In .turn, announced each following- speaker and debater. He gracefully, maintained that parliamen tary manner and decorum which Is so characteristic of this society.- Something here must be said of the tasteful decorations. Punting In -the society's colors, white and blue, drap ed the middle front of the stage. The lkrge columns on either side were en circled In the colors. whllS overhead, to right and left, large curtains of the same were suspended. On either side of. and forming a temporary enclosure and background for, the- speakers who sat In a seml-clrcle large swastika designs Of blue, on the white curtains wer placed. Overhead in the rear were suspended handsome, por traits of the society's alumni. Among these were Mr. J. C. Hemphill, Dr, W. M. Grier and Mr. J. J. Darlington. The freshman declalmers came first on the programme.. These wre Messrs. W. P.. Wylle and A. G. Harris. The latter, who is ji Pineville boy, gives much promise of distinction in oratory. He speaks with feeling and at times Is truly eloquent. The sopho more declalmers, who are both Chsr lotte boys, clearly showed the results of training in the society. They Tield themselves with ease snd dignity and give much promise of future useful ness In the forensic art. The are Messrs. C. B. Williams and W. F, Harkey. having for tholr subjects "Pyramids Not All Egyptian," and "The Majesty of Man," respectively. Mr, G. N. McCormlck. the orator from the senior clnst, hnd for his suD lect "An Attack the Christians Must Meet,' which was an eloquent plea for more active faith among the masse to meet the willful onslaughts of atheism. Mr. McCormlck Is Ers kino's representative for the State con test In oratory. He is a graceful speuker and fluent writer of whom any college might be proud to send forth. The debate which was the last thlnat on the programme was a discussion of ft question that Is very vital snd prac tical to tho Interests of South Carolina colleges. The subject s stated reads: Resolved. .That lnter-collegiate athle tics, hs they now exist, should be abol ished." Tho afllrmatlve was defend m by Messrs. M. It. Hood, '09, of Char lotte, end J. A. Mutthews. "08. a Tennessee boy. The negative was rep resented hy Messrs. B. I Parkinson, OS, of Tt nnesice. and T. F. Grler. "08. of Charlotte. These debates showed much laborious "preparation. They were very logical and written, too. In the lest lvinguuges. They reflected much rredlt upon Dr. J. I. McCain. Ersklne's professor of English and lit erature, under whom these young gen tlemen 1 have pursued their studbs. While there Is much of discrimination snd unfairness in tho presrnt athletic rules, yet the spirit of lnter-collegiate sports Is so rife, that thn sympathy of the audience was largely with the neg ative of the question., Hoth shies pr scnted proofs and arguments that s.cmed unanswerable. That the neg ative would win the decision few at the end of the debate doubted. That Ihry did win is no reflection upon tho shinty or arguments of the affirmative. When Mr. Parkinson, In speaking of the prestige and advertisement that Inter collegiate athletics would give to a col lege, referred to the fnct that Ersklne College now stood champions In -baseball and t.'-nnU of the South Caro lina collrgos. he wns greeted with a henrty round of applause from the audience. The committee on'declston was ttov. M. H. Crier. Rev. T. D. Corl reilge nnd Tlev. James Tioyle. Mr. Ed 1?. Poenre. of Tennessee, was colf marshftll. His atsiatsnts were Messrs. Campbell. Mct.aln, of North Cnrollns: W. L. Hrownlee. of South Carolina, and II. E. Stevenson. i of South Csro Una. No little credit Is due Mr. Mo Lain, chairman of the decorating com mittee, for the benutlful designs and finished effects seen on the rostrum. HORNER SCHOOL.
