the eternal distinction between

says that it suggests the com
plete life, consisting of work and
love and prayer. The rugged
farm land in the forefront with
its evidences,of toil shows us
one esential of every life which
is 1 success and a blessing. The
tv/o figures, whether of brother
and sister, or of lovers betrothed,
or of husband and wife, suggests
the love which sweetens toil.
The forsaken tools, the clasped
hands, the bowed heads, the
closed eyes, the attitude of pray
er all call us to listen to the bell
which is ringing out the remin
der of worship. God’s purpose
in perfecting character must in
clude all of these. There must
be the love for God and the good,
the high ideals and pure motives,
the affection which eliminates
that which is hurtful to us and
v/hich is displeasing to our Lord,
plans of salvation, the world’s!
plan by character, and Qod’si®^

Chapel Hill,Oct.28. —the regis- j

ceedding by 40 the total num
ber of students ever registered
in the whole of any year. There
are over 100 more students here
now than at any previous time
in the history of the institution,
and with the exception of the
University of Texas, which is co
educational, the number of stu
dents matriculated exceeds the
number of any other Southern
college in the acedemic depart
ment. It is not worthy that
more than 90 per cent of this
large student body are sons of
North Carolina, comiihg from 88
counties in the State. Twelve
counties are not represented;
namely, Graham, Clay, Swain,
Transylvania, Rutherford, Mit
chell, Polk, Brunswick, Dare,
Currituck, Stokes and Avery, all
of which counties are located in
the western or eastern extremi
ties of the State. There are sevr
