PROF. BOOKER HAS ARTICLE IN SEPT 3 ISSUE NEW REPUBLIC (Continued from Page 1) current Sewanee Review (July). We may, if we will, see in it a contest, single-handed, by the doughty Ameri can champion of the "Fourteen Points," with the entire German Cabi net. Surely that august body needs a very thick and soft cushion to pro tect them from the fourteen points dexteriously wielded by the Wilson ian champion. The article may be regarded as the definite assumption of the challenge thrown down by the German Cabinet (May 20th) in these words: "We do not believe that any one in the United States will have the courage to claim that there can be found in the peace conditions one single trace left of President Wilson's programme." In a very business like fashion Dr. Booker "places the fourteen points opposite the peace terms," and quite honestly draws the inevitable conclusions. His final con clusion is: "Only a single one of the Fourteen Points has not left a trace." And he is cetrain that the Cabinet's declaration is a case of German Bugaboo "a case of attempting to scare our national conscience with the accusation of a crime that had never been committed." KEEP TO THE WALKS The Episcopal Church asks that all persons using the walks running thru thei church yard as a means of get ting from one place to another will please keep to these walks and off the the grass in the yard. The church is' glad for the . students to use these walks at any time, but would like to ask that no paths be made in an ef fort to make a "short cut" or for any other reason. Also let the holly bushes remain in peace. CO-ED PARTY SUCCESS The co-ed entertainment at the . Y. M. C. A. Friday night was a pro nounced success. The affair had been well worked out and was highly en joyed by the large majority of the student body that attended. A fea ture of the evening's programme was the vaudeville stunts in Gerrard Hall. The first of a series of University lectures was delivered on Milton in Greensboro last week by Dr. J. H. Hanford to the Federated Womans Clubs of that city. : The next lecture will be delivered by Dr. J. M. Booker in the O'Henry Hotel. Dr. Booker's subject will be "Irish Plays and Playwrights." "Hula" Stack, after a summer full of excitement on the high seas and the other side, stopped over for a few days on his way to prep, for the Naval Academy. ; . r J.

Moss The Cain Situation: Genesis IV. Read: Byron 's " Cain " ; Brown ing's "Apparent Failure"; Browning's "Childe Harold to the Dark Tower Came." Ask yourself: Did I ever have a situation like that! In other words, get a concept of the Cain story. Get at the life that's in it. When you get that, all the details will fall into place. Cain got a six. What do you do when you get a six I E. G. How do you handle your enemy conditions? That's the situation that confronts us here; the situation of the enemy con dition. What are you to do with it! One way is to fight it. The other is to absorb it. Cain's brother made Phi Beta Kappa. Cain got a six. So he got sour on the world and went around venting his mood on everybody. He was a man the preacher knows who says he has been treated so badly by the company he has been working for that he is hopeless and embittered. Another man in the employment of that company so he relates has kept him back ; and there he is nursing his wrath. What he needs is to make some attempt to find a way out. Better at tempt than sit around nursing wrath. Cain was like a man who failing at a life task, gives up and becames a parasite on society. Philips Brooks started as a High School teacher. He failed at that He was likely too good a teacher to satisfy the gradgrind folk who so often have the care of the edu cational ark. At any rate he failed, sa far as the judgment of the people around him went. But Philips Brooks went preaching and became possibly the greatest messenger of life since the days of Jesus Christ. Cain was like the man who gets a six, socially. He hasn't made frater nity and either leaves the campus or remains an unhappy spirit, a sort of "A lost soul on the stygian bank, wait ing for waf tage. ' ' What that man needs to do is to buck up and revamp himself along social lines. Levi didn 't make fraternity but he got into the society of Jesus. Jesus, himself, failed, socially. They actually called him an outcast. But he set a new pace along the line of the social give and take. Cain was like the man who gets a six in conduct and, who, loosing heart, goes from bad to worse. But there 'a always something to be saved out of the moral wreckage. King David came back although even some good Chris tians haven't yet forgiven King David. Simon Peter lied about the 'Lord "and swore when he lied and was also a coward. But Simon Peter made ' the return trip. Judas got his six and went down under it. Cain was like the man who has re- seived a six religiously. He has been doing some thinking for himself and lias been told that he is a skeptic and an irreverent person ; and he is now in the defensive. Having come to the place where he has broken with the traditions of accepted piety he takes it for granted that religion is dead be cause a form of religion is dead; and he refuses to co-operate with religious use and wont. Lots of people are at that stage, religiously and the best they have to offer is a negative attitude to ward the whole religious programme. But they can make the recovery and it's a pity they permit themselves to do like Cain. It's so shortsighted and superficial. A big kind of man doesn't act like that. He can co-operate with the most statistic kind of religious move ment and still reserve the privilege of thinking for himself. The trouble with the man who can 't line up with popu lar religion is, not that he has been thinking, but that he has not been thinking thoroughly. He has been thinking negatively. Negative thinking, however, is only a point of departure. The Cain folk make it the point of arrival. Don't do that. Don't let your self, be classified as skeptical., That's to be foolish. Be great. Don 't fight your enemy conditions. They are necessary conditions of life. They are therefore necessary conditions of living men and women. As such they are a challenge, not a menace ; and once we learn to take them into our life, like the foot that nourishes our mortal bodies, they will recreate us along the line of destiny. It's this way: a man is himself plus the infinite within him. He's a child, not merely of time and place . considera tions, but of God. His real home is in the region of Truth, Goodness and Beauty; and once he establishes him self in this, his ; transcendent princi pality, he begins to function in the universal and no longer in the meagre way, and the bludgeonings of circum stance fall upon him in vain. In other words he puts God to work in his world and oiiewith God is a majority. In ; the language of l our dear, late la mented friend -alnd leader, Dr. Graham?.

Most fashionab'e because most widely used by those men who know "what's what" in smokes. At the big hotels and clubs, at smart resorts such as Palm Beach and Atlantic City even at New port itself the Fatima package now holds the prestige formerly held by the fancy, expensive paste board box The reason for Fatima's popu larity is "JUST ENOUGH TURKISH." Instea'd of containing too much Turkish as do the expensive straight Turkish cigarettes, Fatima contains just enough Turkish just enough to taste right, and just enough to leave a man feeling right, even when he smokes more than usual.
