VENTURES ON SEA
ARE RELATED BY
CAPTAIN HARTLEY
Former Commander of Leviathan
Makes Interesting Address
In Assembly.
Captain Herbert Hartley,
formerly captain of . the S. S.
Leviathan, was enthusiastically
received by the sophomores and
freshmen at assembly yesterday.
Captain Hartley has had thirty
five years experience on the high
seas, and was for several years
commander of the Leviathan.
While serving in this capacity,
he made 850 trips-across the At
lantic before crossing as a pas
senger. The captain recounted
several of his early experiences
as an introduction to his speech,
and then spoke about several in
cidents which happened to him
as captain of the Leviathan.
Among these were the occasion
of the crossing of Queen Marie
of Roumania and an account con
cerning Mrs. Martin Johnson.
Captain Hartley gave an idea
of the enormous amount of re
sponsibility attached to such a
position as was his by saying
that it was like a housewife run
ning a house three city blocks
long, buying supplies, keeping
check on materials, and watch
ing out for the various needs of
her guests.

DEFINES RELIGION
IN SERMON HERE
Y. M. C. A. Speaker Gives Rea

"The conception of a group of
men living in harmony and fel-

of the various churches in the
village were represented at the
University Methodist church.
mis was nis cniet appearance
during his visit here. Dr
Weatherford's subject was a def
inition of religion and the Chris

The speaker, who is, president

of the Southern Y. M. C. A.
Graduate School in Nashville,
Tennessee, affirmed that . the
true Christian is a friendly son
of God and a brother of man;
that the Christian is one whose
whole personality goes out to
God in worship and to his fellow-
man in friendly relationship'.
Defines Religion
"Religion is the growth of the
human soul," he said. "Intel
lectual assent and the mere un
derstanding of theological (Jog-
ma cannot make the sinner into
a Christian. Religion is not emo
tional response, although emo
tion holds, a high and honored
place "in our present order of
society. We cannot simply at
tain religion by doing a good
turn, nor can pure ritualism
make us Christians. The man
who attends church more regu
larly than his fellows, the man
who prays the loudest, or the
man who passes the collection
plate is not necessarily the true
The
Christian is he who enters into
friendly relationships witp. God
and his fellows," Dr. Weather

Another impressive point
brought out by the speaker was

December, was being made when
officers of the Julius Rosenwald
