Dr. Mott Appeals for
Real Christianity
MEETINGS ARE SUCCESSFUL
Addresses Weil Attended and
Thotoughly Appreciated
''The ' coming' to the University
of Or. John R. Mott has effected
and ineffaceable result. His
Ilis powerful talks both from the
rostrum and in private interviews
have been a potent factor in the
uplift of the University.
The Mott meetings were open
ed Friday night with a strong
talk by Dr. Mott on the nature of
sin. "Sin," he said, "will find
you out," whatever its nature and
extent. Temptation is natural,
it is the whetstone by' which
mens lives are ground out to per
fection. By conquering tempta
tion, not by yielding to it, is a
man made strong-.
Sunday night in the crowded
Chapel Dr. Mott made his fourth
and final address to the student
body. His theme was religion
and the will.
In the course of his talk he
said that the Christian religion
is purely a matter of the will,
though it appeals to all the other
faculties. One 'must not only
know religion; one must act it.
It is possible to understand the
principles of Christianity and not
practice them to be "cultured
but corrupt." It is not enough
to feel and reason, one must be a
doer of good. The will is free.
"Christ honors our individuali
ty." The weakest man can say,
"I choose to have Christ help me,
or I do not choose." Disuse of
will hurts character, for a person
is made strong by thousands of
little every-day decisions. "It's
either use or lose" the wills.
"Hearing and not doing we stand
an the sand; hearing and doing
we stand on the rock."
In this concluding talk Dr.
Mott summed up the essential
things that he had uttered in his
previous lectures and made his
final appeal. Always magnetic
and forceful, he was even more
effective this night than he had
been before. At a given time,
the ushers distributed among the
audience cards upon which were
printed the following words, "It
is my purpose with the help of
God, to pay what it costs to be a
sincere follower of Jesus Christ."
Space was provided on the cards
for the signing of name and ad
dress. A large proportion of Dr,
Mott's hearers signed these cards
and remained for the meeting
which was held after the rest of
the audience had been dismissed.
Judging from the signs, Dr.
Mott's lectures here have had
both immediate and far-reaching
results.

Secretary of the Treasury
Commencement Speaker
Secretary William Gibbs Mc
Adoo has accepted the invitation
tendered him through Secretary
Daniels to make the commence
ment address at the University
June 2. Mr. McAdoo was born
near Marietta, Georgia, October
31, 1863, admitted to the bar in
1885, and practiced law iu Chat
tanooga until he removed to New
York in 1892. There he was
president and director of the Hud
son and Manhattan R. R. Com
pany, which operates the Hudson
River Tunnel system.
The invitation 4o speak at the
University is the only invitation
from a school 'or college which
Mr. McAdoo has accepted since
he has been in the Wilson cabi
net. It was only by assiduous
work on the part of those inter
ested.in the University that Sec
retary McAdoo was secured to
speak here at commencement,
since he is especially disinclined
to accept invitations of this na
ture. . ;
Mrs. McAdoo, daughter of the
President, will accompany the
Secretary. This will be a strong
asset to the already strong com
mencement which has been plan
ned. Other well known speakers
are going to be secured. Many
alumni from all over the State
are expected to attend, and alto
gether the occasion .will be a
memorable one. -
as his subject, "Christianity in
the War Zone". In this address
Dr. Mott gave the side of the
present great struggle that is so
seldom considered. 1(
The mighty force behind the
European armies, he said, is the
spirit of of Christianity which
exists, making the opposing lines
friends in the fellowship of
Christ.
Europe is a suffering but an
unselfish continent. In all of the
pain and torture no one thinks
only of himself. This point was
well illustrated with' several
stories of remarkable generosity
and consideration evidenced by
the warring nations. j
The cost of the war, as esti
mated by Dr. Mott, is $37,000,000
in gold per day. This immense
cost financially, however, is not
even to be considered when the
horrible human toll is realized.
The dead number over a million,
the wounded over three million,
and 1,700,000 men and boys are
suffering in military prisons.
This heart-rending condition is
inconceivable. Only by going
from one house to another and
hearing the awful reports of
death and despair can cause one
to realize what the war really
means.'
The war has been most de
structive to the universities
Fiftv-six per cent of the students
have enlisted; sixty-six percent
of the Christian church workers
have enlisted and ninety per cent
of the officers of the Y. M. C. A.
have gone into service.
However, the power of the

Movement has been brought out
in this war, the men in the op
posing armies manifesting; in
any way possible under the cir
cumstances their love for one
another. The war is being wag
ed with every man firm in the be
lief that he is right and his cause
will succeed; but the Christian
spirit is one and the same with
them all.

heard each afternoon at the ath;

have his heart in the work.
; So far, very littie can be said as
to the ability of the fellowslwho
are trying for, the different po
sitions, i Captain Woodall is on
the job at all times. His energy
and stellar ' work will go far
towards making this year's team
a success. There' is 'no need to
mention his ability as. a receiver.
That is tpo well known.
Besides WTilliams, Aycock, and
Shields, there are several other
candidates' for the 'pitching de
partment; Currie,' Kinlaw; Ply
ler, and' ' Lasley - (the only; left
bander on the squad). a re among
the new hopes. These men came
here with a reputation for good
work and they bid fair to live up
to all reports.
At first base the light will be
interesting. Hardison, of las
year's team, Pope, and Zollicoffer
are all working hard. , Pope hits
the .ball hard at all times and
fields well. , Zollicoffei; and Har-
dison both field well and are
rather good with the stick.' ; '"' i
Patterson seems to have' the
call at second. J 'At short,'; Bruce
of Elon last year, shows: up well.
He is a good fielder,!; and, hits the
ball as if heliad a grudge against
it. .-.Going around to third base,
we have Lewis,' last year's third
sacker, and Sheek, a new man.
Both are good fielders' and Sheek
hits well.: 'ti') W.j i , -i :
For the outfield positions there
are several candidates. Phoebe
Johnston is back and is hitting
the ball again. Bailey still fields
as lie only can.1 ' Nance, Barnes,
P i er s o n . Honey, Creighton,
Edgertonv ' and Wood .are also
candidates. , .Out of this number
three garderners will be chosen.
It is safe to say that the men
who hit the ball will play the po
sitions. ' ;
The training table began the
15th of Feb., ; and will be contin
ued throughout the season. This
is something! new here in base
ball. The results will be watch

This is' only a little talk; but
just wait until the weather gets
warm,; then you will see a real
