But as the rays are reflected, in beautiful and varied colors, from the prism, so may the contents of this, the first volume of The Pixe Burr, reflect bright scenes and pleasant memories of days gone by. This being the first issue of The Pine Buku we realize that, in our lack of experience and ability. ■ ve can not make this volume what we wiiuld wish it to l)e. Bttt we have endeavored to do our best, and we desire that, in perusing this volume, you will be lenient in your criticisms and tinprejudiced in your judgment.

HLSTUliY is constauth- working to verify this statement. At one time an edncation was considered among the greatest luxitries. Now an iMlucation is within the reach of the poorest chihl in the country, and it is one of the demands of the time. Within the memory of our grand- jiarents music was thought to he a useless luxury. The piano was a piece of furnitttre which signified social caste more than culture, ilusic was not a part of the real life of ])eiiple. It was something alien to their every day work. We have lived to see a wonderful change. Music, once a luxury, has hecome a most present necessity. According to psychologists it is very right that it should be thus. We need music as we need the air, the light, water, the sheltering trees, and fragrant flowers. Shakespeare says: The man that hath no music in himself. Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. As a whide there is m.i art which ha? mure lovers and tollowers liian music.

We sometimes think that the highest office of our art is to take our mind away from the perplexities, the griefs and cares of the every day life. We agree with Shelley that ' A[n ic, when soft voices die, vibrates in the memory. JMtisic is the anodyne nf the wurbl.

But no children ' s faces are seen now. The winter snows are falling and cover- ing the earth with a shroud of deathlike gloom. A terrible blizzard sweeps from the north, and every living creature has found his way to some winter retreat.

Wires flash the news to every corner of the earth, and its vibrations are caught and wafted on the wings of the tainted air, until every peasant ' s hut is illniinn -d with the light of courage, and every jirison cell reechoes a shout of rejoicing. The next scene is in the nation ' s capital again. ] fen and women from everywhere have met to witness a second trium])hant entry, and to hail the Page thirty-eight THE PINE BURR rus ' o ' ed iiionoei- as hci ' d ni ilic liuui ' . The streets are tliruiiiied with iliniisands. Banners are raised and iiiit ' iirle(l everywhere. And now (in stril ing contrast to his reeei)tion in the tirst scene) andd the thrilling ' strains id ' music, amid the triumphant apphuise of thousands of sjipctators, the hero mounts the stage; and ' ith a lieart throbbing with the treniemldus responsibilities of the hour — calling ujion the p .iwers of heaven that have leil him thus far, to lead him on, as he shall grasp the helm of the great sliip of state, to guide it through the most violent storm that has ever raged ijn the surging billows of tinu — amid such emotions that stir the heart that has grown great, the sim])le lad (d ' the peasant ' s hut raises his care-scarred hand to the God that made him, and is formally pronounced the chief executive of the world ' s greatest nati(.in. Four years and ten days have passed. And now the curtain rises for the seventh and last time t a scene of mingling sorrow and rejoicing. A nation once robed in beauty and power and ghiry is now torn and shattered and blanch- ing even in the earl ' morning of her hopeful career. The roar of the cannon and clash id ' the swurd have echoe l and reechoed from ocean to ocean until the baleful shriind nf death drapes lAcr ten thousand of her fairest homes. But now as the smoke of battle is receding and the sunrays of a new born day are bursting on the nation ' s capital again, a world of spectators look through the misty shadows and l)ehold the triumphant hero, holding aloft the tattered and torn flag he loved, yet witli a ndiid as I ' alm as a ]ieactd ' ul dream, and a soul as serene as the morning sky. The great strife is over and tlu ' trophies of honor are now being laid at the feet of the worthy hero. The victory is won, and shouts of triumph and glory and praise break the silent march of the dead. The exalted city, illumined with sparkling and glowing lights, forgets the wail of the sorrowing, expels the thought of business, and turns every clash of cMimnierce into one grand festival of honoi ' and praise lo the worthy hero. His name is heralded with iriiimph on every tongtie, and wafted on the wings (if every breath, until the very heavens seem to t ' cho and reecho in one grand strain of honor and pi ' aise and I ' ejoicing. Music is pealing, banners are flying, every emotion is stiri ' ed with hallowed ])raise. llnl hush! A clash is hearil. A shriid ing, a silence; and the sciul oi the immortal hero is hnrleil into eternity. I!iit liall we stop here A terrible tragedy has endeil ihe drama, and the world is moved to tears. But alas!

These are under the anspici ' s ui the Woman ' s lissionary Societ -, and have made their work an important factor in the religious development of the ISchool. The Young .Men ' s Christian Association has. for the past few years, accom- plished that which i-ciulil ha c heen hri.jughi alioul h - no other means — helping the young men to come into closer fellowship with eacli other, hoth socially and sjiiritually. and li ' aining them in religious work. The -Ministerial Association, though the youngest organization in the School, has in the few UKiuths id ' its existence already accomplished nuich for good. The liapiist ' oung People ' s rnion. the largest religious organization here with the exception of the Sunday School, carries on the same work of sim- ilar organizations, and its results heconie more evident as the work progresses. The Sunday School has on its roll alwut three hundred memhers ; it is, as has already l)een mentioned, the largest organization in the school. Among the Sun day School classes whi(di might he mi ' ntioned are the Fii-st l!araca ( ' lass, taught liy .1.

THE PIXE BriUJ «J ' ' ' fortli-three Hiterarp Societies; Conducted by J. G. Booe TIIEKE are four J.irerary Societies at Buie ' s Creek, uauiely : Wasliiug- toniau, Athenian, Philologiau, and Eutrophian. By the eonmieudable lirugre?? of the society achievements, no greater agency has Iwrne a lielpiug hand to the hungering mind for development than the gift of speech. Many of ' orth Carolina ' s fair sons and daughters, and some of various other States, are tilling the prominent places on the stage of action. They have gone H-oni these halls distinguished as model men and women. The Washingtouiau is a power within itself. It has given the foundation for many useful women. The thoughts have gone l efore to inspire them to climb higher. The Arlicuian Society, with its record.- is one unsurpassed. It is within itself simplicity and as we notice the unpretentious tiower with its l eautiful blending lA colors, we think of a beautiful and pure life that we would like to imitate. The vciinig men have two societies, known as the Philologian and Eutro- phian. Their standard is to reach the heights yet unknown. Each strives onward and upward. There is a strong but generous rivalry between the organizations. But this mastery of self-control and their power { influence has caused many hungry minds to be tilled with manly principles and higher ideals. Xo thorn, no throne ; no gall, no glory, has touched the lives of the men who are today battling with life ' s duties. They left this institution with an immortal luemory of the society training. The -iicietv work here is a rhain wliiidi lumls the student body into a strong ami for -eful baud. The contests for medals have meant much in the strength of its dawning ability. You may lavish wealth on a man. but nature forbids that the jxiwer d ' Nfagna speech be placed in a hiunan biva t without ett ' ort. Xo greater trainiuii- for the niiml. no motive more lofty, than the ti-ain- iug of the human tongue. God does not do a purposeless thing. He has given tis the art of a high and nolde pttrjiose. It may come to us borne softly on the wino ' s of the evening zephyr, or it may come in all the horrid appeals of deep tones of thunder and crash of h(.iwling storiu. But society is not its origin, for the human soul is stirred, the mind is moved, character is formed, eternity is destined only by the power and eloquence of the developed voice.
