ViFTER K3TT WHAT?
About ! 400 men signed Mr.
Mott's first card thereby pledging
themselves "with the help of God
tb pay what it costs to be a sin
cere follower of Jesus Christ."
How many men are going- to live
up to that promise to their better
selves and how many are going
(o drift back into the old ways?
The whole matter is a question
of little things. No man commits
a great crime the first time he
loes wrong. By thought or ac
tiori he gradually works himself
into a ripe state for the greater
crime. A man can live a good
life only by , watching the little
things. . The very idea of being
;i ''follower of Jesus Christ" un
less walking step by step.
The signing of those 400 cards
was onlj the beginning. The
result of the campaign will not
he known for twenty-five years,
fifty years or a hundred years. If
the result is to be good 400 men
uiust 1 egin paying attention to
the practical small things,
Reading the Bible fifteen min
utes a day is a small thing; but
if done daily the Bible can be
read from cover well within a
.year.
An immoral picture on the wall
i not a very important thing;
Lut it may start a train of thought
that will end in a human wreck.
Profanity is not a very heinous
offense; but it can create an at
titude of mind that repels the in-
Jluence of good literature, kind
vleeds, and
In comparison with other sins
telling a dirtj story doesn't loom
very large; but dirty stories do
not come out of clean minds or
serious lives.
It is so easy to loaf away the
odds and ends of the daily sched
ule; but were you ever tempted
while you were busy?
It is so easy to shirk a duty
here and an opportunity there,
miss this meeting, fail to speak
a needed word; but its the little
things thut determine the lives
of all mankind.
There never has been nor never
will be a Christian who neglects
the small things Nor will there
ever be a sinful life that shuns
the little slips.
DR. KOTH LT.PRESSICN OF THE UNIVERSITY
The following is an extract of
and interview with. Mr, Mott
given out the day he left Chapel
Hill. Remembering that Mr.
Mott has intimate knowledge of
practically every college and uni
versity of any size in the entire
world and that his statement is
made through no ulterior motive
it would be well to attach the
greatest importance to it.
" 'When told the amount of
money that t h e University
authorities are requesting this
year he said with great vigor.
"That sum is small, rediculously
small. When I think of the
great work that is being done at
the University and when I com
pare the amount you mention to
the amounts received by other
State Universities, I can say very
postively that the sum asked for
is much too small."
Continuing, he said: "Under
the present management of the
University there is not the slight
est danger of extravagance. In
Dr. E. K. Graham, you have a
very able president indeed. Quite
frequently college presidents are
seen who are excellent adminis
trative officers. And quite fre
quently college presidents are
seen who have fine scholastic
ideas. It is seldom that you
find a man that combines the two
qualities of of splendid adminis
trative ability Bnd high scholastic
ideas as Doctor Graham dees. He
exemplifies before, the students
the best traditions of American
college presidents."
"In its spirit of democracy,"
said Dr. Mott in answer to a
question as to what are some of
the distinctive things about the
University, "Your University is
the equal of any college or uni
versity in the United States or in
the world, and in fact in this re
spect it is superior -" to most of
them. When you consider how
indispensable this spirit of de
mocrocy is to the lite of your
State aud to the Nation, you will
realize what a fine thing it is
that your future leaders are be
ing trained up in an atmosphere
of this kind.
Doctor Mott was told that the
statement is occasionally made
that the University is not a re
ligious place. "That is absurd,"
was the reply. "It would be a
great reflection upon your State
if it were so. There are four
things which make it impossible
for the charge you mentioned to
be sustained." (Doctor Mott is
possibly greatest as an organizer.
He marshalls the facts support
ing a given statement with all
the precision of a general in com
mand of an army) "Ninety per
cent of the students are church
members. The faculty is com-i
porsed of Christian gentlemen.
The Churches of the village are;
earnestly at 'vork among the stu
dents, The Y. M. C. A. of the
students themselves is a splendid
ly managed organization. With
these four forces at work it would
be impossible for the institution
to be auti-Christian. My obser
vation convinces me that there is
a deep and devout religious feel
ing throughout the student body.
I have conducted meetings similar
to the meetings just held in al
most all universities on this Con
tinent. Never have I seen a
greater proportion of the student
body constantly in attendance.
Never have I seen a greater pro
portion make decisions, for
Christ." 'Charlotte Observer,

ELLEN ELOPES WITH SUCCESS
Entertaining Comedy is Well Present
ed by Local Talent.
"The Elopment of Ellen," pre
sented in the Y. M. C, A. last
Thursday night for the benefit of
the Altar Guild of the Episcopal
church, was most successful in
every detail. The cast was well
selected, and acquitted itself in
an excellent manner.
The work of Miss Mary Patter
son as "June Haverhill" alias
"Ellen", Mr, Charlie Coggin as
"Max Len Eyce", and Mr. John
Lasley as "Mr, Hume" the "Rec
tor Chap" deserve special mention.

Ford", Miss Eleanora Wilson as
"Dorothy Marcs", M. Leon Ap
plewhite as "Richard Ford", and
Mr. Phil Branson as "Robert."
Dr.Raper to Tennessee

pointed by the Governor of Ten
nessee to consult with them in re

The basketball team left for
their trip through Virginia last
