It is the product of the time and labor of a few who were elected to represent the departments of the school, in the preparation of this book. To it must inevitably come the common fate of such publica- tions — criticism. Indeed, we recognize the fact that it is not a perfect book; however, we have no apologies to offer. We have tried to represent faithfully the activities of our school life. Limited space has pre- vented a more complete representation, but we hope that, as you peruse these pages, there will be awakened a new sense of appreciation for our school and its stan- dards of scholarship and righteousness.

I HEKE is and has ever been a desperate and detennined J- purpose and effort to set aside the authority of the Word of God. So desperate are the enemies of the Word in their pur- pose to undermine its authority that they scruple not at any ineans to acc omplish this end. They seek therefore to destroy confidence in it by discrediting it as the divinely inspired Word of God. They assail it from every angle and by any and all sorts of methods seek to get rid of its supernaturalness. There is a reason for this enmity. This Holy Book claims the right to control the actions of men. It claims also the final authority to prescribe the conditions for determining man ' s destiny. It opposes that ultra-democratic s ' pirit which dis- tinguishes this age which seeks to defy man, even at the cost of degrading God to the limitations of humanity. Finally this enmity is rendered very desperate by the pertinacity of the life inherent in the Word. Despite all the opposition the Book lives, its distribution increases with the years, the nudtitudes who read and study it are nudtiplying prodigiously until the Book has become the wonder of all the ages. Let i:s stress briefly this one phase of 1he Book; that it is a Living Book. Says the author of Ilel rews -1:12, For the AVord of (Jod is quick, (living) and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, i)iercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and sj)irit and to the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. We confine our attention to a single word in the above verse. The word (puck, which means living. The author declares tluat the Word of God is a living AVord. Page TwL ' nty-fi ' C | This life of the Word is implied in the very authority Avith which it speaks. It speaks not as man speaks. It commands. Dead things exercise no authority, issue no commands, exact no obedience. Its life is manifested again in the knowledge it conveys to us of ourselves — our thoughts, impidses, motives. Wo do not come to the Bible so much to learn other men ' s thoughts or motives or hidden purposes or needs. We come to the Bible rather to learn about ourselves and find that it reveals to us the inmost recesses of our souls. This is a wonderful indication of real life. The life of the AVord is indicated again in its boldness. It dares to abase man and exalt God, which is the very reverse of the world ' s democracy. It talks about every imagination of the thoughts of man ' s heart as only evil continually. Read what it dares to say of man in Eomans 1:29-32, and 3-10-18 and Eph 2 :l-3. The life of the Book is further seen in both the courage and knowledge it displays as it derides the wisdom of man. Hear it : AVhere is the wise? AVhere is the scribe? AAHuM-e is the dis- puter of this wor ld? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? — I Cor. 1:20. Read also I Cor. 2:14, au.l S :2. It derides also man ' s civilization. As against the boasted achieve- ments of our civilization of which we hear so much, vcml the gruesome delineation of the Word as found in 11 Timothy, 3vd chapter, describing the last days, which refer to this age . Tlie Book says: Perilous times shall come, lor men shnll he bivcrs of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, hhisplicnioiis, dis- obedient to pai-ents, unthankfnl, nnholy, Avithout nalui ' al affec- LIBRARY Oliv3t Na arene College KANKAKEE, ILL. Aurora ' 17 tion, triice-1)reakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, dcspisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the poAver thereof. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being de- ceived. The Book claims to be a Book of life. Paul commands the Philippians that they hold forth the Word of life. Phi 2:lfi. Peter declares that in entering the religious life we are to be born l)y the Word of God. Being born again not of corrupt- ible seed, but of incorrupti1)le, by the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever. The Word of the Lord en- dureth forever. ' ' I Peter 1 :23, 25. The Psalms say : ' ' Thy AVord hath quickened me. 119:50, and Uphold me according to thy Word that I may live. V. 116. Quicken me according to thy AVord, that is, Make me alive according to thy AA ord. V. 154. The Word is not only living but it ' s life is a groAving life. It multiplies by producing fruit after its kind in human hearts aiid lives. Paul says to Colossians in speaking of the AVord, AVhich is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fr iit. _l:6. ' Again we learn from Acts 12:2-1: that, The AVord of God grew and multiplied, and in 19:20 So mightily grew the. AVord of God and prevailed. Again, Acts 6:7 And the Word of God increased ; and the number of the disciples mul- tipli -(l ill -JcrusHlem greatly. Again Peter exhorts, As new- l)Oi-n })abes, desii-e the sincere milk of the Word that ye may groAv tlierehy. — T Peter 2:2. Not only has the Pjible a growing life but it is life-giving. ( ' U ' i- says: Being liorn again, not of corruptible seed, but of ]uc n-y i Aih]( ' , by the AVord of God, Which liveth and abideth i(.r -vri-. - -T Peter 1:2:]. James declares: Of His OAVn will hcgHt He US with the Word of truth. — 1 :18. We read in Dent. 8:3: Man doth not live by bread only, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. Jere- miah exclaimed, 15:16: Thy Words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy Word was unto me the .joy and i-ejoicuig of mine heart. Paul charges Timothy, I Tim. 4:6, If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereiinto thou hast attained. Descriptive of the godly we read in the first Psalm: His delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law doth he meditate day and night, and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in liis season; his leaf also shall not Avither. The poAver of this Word of God to break hearts and bring men to God has been illustrated thousands of times. St. Augus- tine, Avhen a wanderer from God, Avas arrested in his Avicked career and brought to serious reflection and to repentance and finally to the faith of complete surrender to God by reading Pomans 13:13-14. A heathen Avoman Avho Avas miserable and Avretched in seeking the favor of her gods by all sorts of austeri- ties and self-imposed burdens in her blind devotions, picked up a little scrap of paper on Avhich Avere a fcAV Avords of printing in her native tongue. These Avere all the Avords the scrap of paper contained: For God so loved the Avoiid. Tlie thought of a god loving Avas new to her. She thought she kncAV much about gods Avho hated, Avho Avere vengeful and cruel, but her list of deities contained none Avho loved. The thought occurred to her that it nnist be the God of the missionaries, so she hurried to the mission station, shoAved the slip of paper, and the missionary led her to Christ. D. L. Moody Avas a Bible-made man. This impression Avill force itself upon any thoughtful man Avho ever heard Mr. Aloody [Page Twenty-six. (§f mivH preach or who ever read his works. He had literally devoured the AVord. He was a man of one Book. He had wholly sur- rendered to its spirit and its letter and in return the Book made him the evaiigelist of his day. Any man who listens to G. Campbell Morgan ■lll hv pro- foundly impressed that he likewise is a Bible-made man. He is different from JMoody. Morgan is a scholar and a great thinker. Moody was neither. But both alike surrendered absolutely to the letter and spirit and sway of the AVord of God and each alike was made what lie became by the AA ord. The need of the age is more Bible-made men and Avomen. AA ' e need more unquestioning and absolute yieldedness to the AA ord of God. AVe need people who believe it from beginning to end, and Avho rely upon it and trust it as their only and sufficient means of offense and defence in their spiritual work and war- fare. AVe need people who will give the Bibb- a chance to grow and expand and bear fruit in their lives, and they will l)e astonished to find what God can do with them and through theu by means of His AA ord. Young man, my advice to you is that you cultivate an ac- quaintance with and a firm belief in the Holy Scriptures, for this is your certain interest. I think Christ ' s system of morals and religion, as He left them with us, the liest the world ever saw, or is likely to see. — Franklin. I have said and always will say that the studious perusal of the sacred volume will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands. — Thomas Jefferson. If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper : but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastroi)he may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in pro- found obscurity. The Bible is the book of all others for lawyers as well as divines, and T pily the mnii who cainiot find in it a i-icb supply of thoiiglit ;mi(1 ride of conduct. — Daniel Webster.

It is through history that we become acquainted with men and women who, by their noble achievements, have made our world of today Avhat it is. History is very comprehensive in its scope. In it we find tlic record of prehistoric ages Avhen men -were far, very far, from civilization. We can trace their rise and their progress through the Middle Ages; Ave can learn of the rise and fall of empires and of the discovery of new lands, especially of America, in Avhich we are so vitally interested; and iinally Ave may get an intimate lvnoA dedge of our forefathers, the men Avho laid the foundation of this great and noble republic, as Avell as of those Avho are today gripping the reins of poAver. On the last page of this Avorld history covering all the notable events from the time of Adam to the present date the title, History of the Academy Class of ' 17 of Olivet University greets our eyes! We eagerly proceed to scan its pages, for the history of the illust- rious members of this class must he of thrilling interest. They are surely the people AAdio iwe to sAvay the destinies of the Twentieth Century. In the year of our Lord 1913, an issue Avas at stake in the lives of many girls and boys. The question Avas the same in each respective mind, Where shall I enter high school? By some providence the ansAver Avas nnide, I Avill go to Olivet. For- tunate indeed ! When school o])cned in September there Avere registered a class of Freshmen representing various states: M isconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Missoiij-i, Mud Illinois, I ater a mendier from Massa- chusetts joined our number. These girls Miid boys had come Avith an aim and purpose in view. Sn.eh a l)u,s - studious ciass! Ho v they AVJ ' Cstled Avith Algebra problems ?ind mastered liatin vocabularies. Were not the teachers delighted with such pupils? They saA ' in this class of beginnei-s men find Avomen avjio Avould accomplish things in the tomorrows. Next .year Avhen school opened this same class Avas on duly Avith just a little more zeal than previously. They Avere keen and plucky and had a part in every innocent school prank. They made things stirring for those about them. Yet they met Avith many difficulties in trying to lu-idge the aAvful chasm betAveen til cm and education. This year Math ' consisted of Plane Geom- etry. Algebra had been a rare delight (?) but oh, the agonies of Geometry Avere indescribable. Those Avho pursued the study of Latin foi nd that her paths Avere no longer those of peace. Some in the class Avere Avise enough to take Spanish in order to avoid Caesar. The brave Avho undertook to folloAv the great Rt)man on his military expeditions, sometimes groaned Avhen passing over an embankment of Ablative Absolutes, or Peri- phrastic construction, but, encouraged by the example of their illustrious leader they faltered not, but passed forward to victory. Such has always been the habit of the Class of ' 17. With indomit- able courage they overcame every obstacle of the Sophomore year, and in the course of time entered upon their career as Juniors. The next u;ove of this remarkable class made them full- Hedged Jmiiors. This marked a great epoch in their history. The class now for the first time realized its importance. A meet- ing Avas called, and the Juniors organized Avith a very capable [Page Thirty-four m mxvH member, Mr. Jesse Brown as Presideiit. If some in the scliool had been previously unaware of the presence of the illustrious Class of ' 17 as Freshies and Sophs they. were certainly aAvare of their presence as Juniors. Many events occurred during the year. One of the first eon- fiicts was with the Senior Class, whose members impolitely seized the Juniors ' class pins. The atfair was not settled for several days. But in the end the Juniors were victorious ! This was an occasion Avhich inspired them wath courage and determin- ation. Several smaller skirmishes were encountered, which but served to add to the glory of the Class of ' 17. In March, the date was set when the Juniors should entertain the Seniors at a bancjuet. One of the Junior members invited the class to her home to make ready for it. The rooms Avere decorated M ' ith purple and ■ ' hite, Junior colors, and green and gold, Senior colors. P vcry plan had been made; and there was a glad antiei- patioji of a delightful evening. The members of the Senior Class were duly invited, but they either did not appreciate this invita- tion or were unversed i)] etiqiTott of Itanquets, at any rate, for some unaccountable reason — a flaw in judgment if nothing more — the fairer sex came dressed in their calicoes, and the boys wore their jeans. All had red bandanas tied about their necks. A motley crowd indeed to present themselves at a reception. They were asked kindly to withdraw until a more pleasing toilet could be made. They withdrew, for they could not do otherwise since no admittance was granted. They had not the courage to retiirn and so the Jiuiior Class invited the College Seniors, who gladly responded and apparently had a very pleasant evening. In the J)eginning of the school year 1916 the former Junior Class Avith some new members assembled and elected ofl ' icers for the year as follows: Ralph Surber, President: Naomi Anderson, Secretary: Lelila Howe, Treasurer; Ellen Lanham. Historian, and Ealph Schurman, Poet. The motto expressive of their aim On to the Mountain Summit, w as chosen. The Wise Old Owl proved an excellent emblem for this steady progressive class. For the class flower the fragrant sweet pea was selected. The class was well organized and pushing on for greater victories than ever before. They had endured being called Freshies, and never Avavered when more advanced classes laughed at their streak of green. Tliey had surmounted every difficulty of their Soph ' year; they had had a realizing sense of their importance as Juniors. Now they had reached the top round of the ladder. They w ere Seniors and realized that they should soon be out of School Life into Life ' s School. They were the first class to be graduated from the accredited Academic Department of 0. U. They have the consciousness of having done their best here, and go out to do their best for Cod. ELLEN LANHAM, Acad. ' 17.

Hence, it is imperative that it have loyal support if it prosper and accomplish ' what it should. Moreover, this support must come, not from its trustees, president and faculty only, but also from its students, as well. This being the case we feel gratified that we are able to say the students have not failed at this point. For some time the authorities of the school have been push- ing the matter of recognition of Olivet University, and finally succeeded in obtaining partial recognition of the College of Liberal Arts by the State Examining Board, full recognition depending upon an endowment and other financial requirements in which we are, as yet, somewhat deficient. Next followed an effort to have the Academy placed on the list of academies accredited by the State University. To this end the Assistant High School Visitor from Urbana made us a visit during the early part of the school year and looked over our institution in some detail and advised that we add to our Physics laboratory equip- ment. Members of the Senior Class immediately conceived the idea that a little student assistance might be in place just at this point and took the matter into consideration. After consult ation the class decided to place an order for such materials as should be needed and present them to the school as their graduation present. The equipment is on hand, and in use, and the accrediting of the Academy made possible therel)y. Such acts we would inter- pret as true school spirit and loyalty. PROF. J. E. PIOOVER. [Page Thirty-six WP m mxvH 2|f ating plant HEREWITH is presented a picture of our new heating plant, erected during the fall of 1016. l he building, Avhich measures thirty-four by forty feet, is of brick throughout and absolutely tire-proof. The smokestack is one hundred feet high. The first floor, which is partly under ground, is divided into five rooms, namely: the boiler room, pr.mp room, engine room, coal pit, and ash room. The plant itself consists of two large boilers of ninety H. P. each, and the system is what is known as the vacuum system. A pressure of about sixty pounds per square inch is maintained in the boilers and the steam is conducted from the heating plant to the five other buildings which it heats, through a large six inch main, Avhich is packed with mineral wool to prevent the loss of heat. As the steam performs its duty of heating and becomes condensed, it is drawn back into tlie system b.y means of an automatic vacuum pump. A little valve on each radiator, known as the Dunham valve, permits the water to return but will not permit the steam to pass. After the water has been drawn back, it is forced into the Iwilers by means of a steam pump which is also automatic. In the engine room is located a forty IT. P. steam engine, which operates the laundry, pump, and which will also he used to run the dynamo as soon as that is installed. The exhaust from this engine is turned l)ack into the system so that no steam is wasted. The hot water system consists of a large boiler, in whieli the water is heated by steam under high pressure. It is a circulatory system. The second floor is devoted to the laundry. This is equipped with a washer, centrifugal dryer, mangle, and steam drying room. The ironing room is equipped with electric irons. This system is very complete and is a valiiahlc addition to Olivet Uni- versity. The plant was erected at a cost of fourteen thousand dollars. L. II.

[Page Forty- six m mivH Musit A FUSIC is the artistic expression for that which is not in the - ▼J- province of literature, sculpture, painting-, or acting. AVhereas literature describes emotions and perceptions; whereas sculpture imitates the outward form, and in a broad sense, by considering the attitude of the entire figure, displays personal character; whereas painting vitalizes with color the forms of sculpture and extends the animate to the inanimate; Avhereas acting enforces and qualifies the meaning of written words, and by vocal inflection and changing jesture, gives mobility of life to the forms of scidpture and painting — music embodies the inner feeling of which all other arts can exhibit but the effect. ] Iusic possesses solenniity, grandeur and gaiety; it assumes the poAver of special, individiml and personal utterance of every variety of passion. The indefiniteness of musical expression does not prove its inexpressiveness ; but on the contrary, this is one of the quali- ties which place it at the highest level of art-excellence, enabling it to suggest even more than it displays, and to stimulate the imagination to a wonderful degree. In prehistoric times music passed through three stages of development, each characterized by a distinct class of instru- ments. Instruments of percussion were first; wind instruments were next in order; and stringed instruments were the latest invention. Clapping the hands and stamping the feet represent the first element; drum.s, bells and cymbals are the development of this same principle. The sighing of the Avinds when passing over a bed of reeds is nature ' s suggestion of instrumejits of breath. The reference to the straining of the sinews of a tortoise across its shell is the mytliical illusion as to the origin of stringed instruments. The classic (ireeks made use of music for chanting their epic poems and for religious rites ; it accompanied the marchings and motions of the Greek chorus and was neces- sary in military evolution. Music exercises over humanity a power or charm Avhich no other art possesses and Avhich is almost divine. At the great feasts of the ancient Greeks the musicians played a very impor- Page Forty- seven] tant role. They sang of the gods— of love, of war— and swayed their audience until their hearts would thrill Avith admiration, kmdle Avith fond desire, or sAvell Avith rage. Again, just as eff ' ective and poAverful is the sAveet lullaby of a mol:-her soothing her restless child to slumber. Soft quiet melodies soothe the Aveary mind, rest the tired soul, and arouse the discouraged heart to hope. Whether old or young, Avhether sad or joyful, Avhether jubilant or despondent, music puts men on the same plane ; it tempers their confused emotions ; it elevates them, and brings them nearer God. On the battlefield the poAver and inspiration of music is no less marked. From earliest times a portion of the armv Avas employed to furnish music Avhile marching on the field. Tlie troops of ' the great Napoleon AArent on the field singing songs of patriotism and devotion to their leader, and Avon for him victory after victory. Martial strains thrill the soldier Avith courage, instill hope in lus breast, and inspire him Avith a noble confidence and zeal Avhich is unconquerable. His lofty courage animates his being, and his soul throbs Avith the desire to Avin and bring glory to his country. i Iusic_is strangely and Avonderfully adapted to man ' s nature cind emotions. There is something in ' every soul Avhieh responds to its influence. It relieves tension by affording a means of utterance for the deepest emotions of the human heart— emotions Avhich Avords are poAverless to express. Indeed, music is the mirror in Avhicli the soul is ]-eflected,— it is the true expression of the soul. It also possesses a peculi;ii ' drawing poAvei- Avhich brings man closer to nature, — and to (iod. Great multitudes, avIumi dis- heartened and discouraged, have been turned to God hv its inspiring influence. Man has, by its Avondci-ful i)ower, beeii led to see the marvelous beauty and hai ' inonv in luiture. Every star and planet, every tree and flowei-, every hill and valley, every stream and livulet,— everything in nature points to God, and unites Antli the angelic ehoi-us in singing the praises of our ' ' ' ' ' ' ■- WINNIE F.

[Page Fift3-six m mivH ®1|P Balue nf iExprpBatnu THE value of expression is being realized by the schools of our land today as it has never been in the past. Expression was formerly regarded more or less as an artitieial imitation, or mechanical analysis, and believed to consist of mere rules of grammar or rhetoric instead of the laws of thought. It is, moreover, a lamentable fact that the development of imagination has received little attention, mainly because its importance is not generally recognized. Some of our legislators say Our public schools must train up practical citizens and educate them in the practical arts of life. They do not see the need of developing all the faculties of the mind, although uni- form development is very desirable in the most practical business life. With imagination the most humlde employment is made beautiful and drudgery is forgotten. It is the imagination which gives taste and refinement ; without it there can be no love for art and literature. It is, moreover, the faculty which gives birth to ideas, with- out wliich no man has ever l:)ecome great. It enables him to love not only art and literature of bis own age and his own country, but that of all other lands and times. This love, with the result- ant study which it involves, ends in his weaving into his own character the ideals of all past generations and enables him eventually to become a blessing and an inspiration to mankind. That imagination is vitally related to expression is a recog- nized fact. One is capable of expressing only what he himself feels ; and in order to feel and to represent faithfully the deeper emotions he must have a well -developed imagination. Without it, no matter Avhat he may say, his speech is lacking in interest. Dr. Curry says: When a speaker eliminates imagination and feeling he becomes commonplace and his ideals and words fail to move his fellows. While it is true expression is greatly aided by imagination, it is just as true that imagination is stimulated ;iii(l developed by expression. The two are mutually helpful. Tbe speakei- must have vision, which is supplied by innmiuation, before ho can stir his hearers; but, on the other hand, vocal interpretation, (H ' llic act of giving expression to the finest poetry, proves the cxcclb ' nt training for the imagination. It is, therefore, very imjxii ' tant that the stu(b ' iit receive train- ing in vocal expression on account of the inlluencc wludi i1 lias on the imaginative faculty — the faculty of the mind lo hi(di maiikind owes its highest ideals and its k ' cM ' iiest enjoymenl.

From their ranks are to come our future ministers, reformers, legislators, authors and journalists. What they will eventually contribute to society depends upon the training Avhich they are receiving today. We must have men in this twentietli century who will take their stand in civilized society. Alcohol has too long been the friend of the social man and Avoman. They have smilingly looked into the glass thinking of the effect it has upon their senses, and in return the cup smiles back with its mocking and deceiving sparkle. Certain erroneous ideas regarding spirituous drinks were formerly entertained. It was thought that a glass of Ijeer assisted the digestive organs in their different functions. Now it can be proved that the glass of beer not only hinders in the digestion of the food, but also acts upon the digestive organs until they cannot perform their duties. Laborers see the appalling effect it has upon them, in that the Avork done by a drinking man is less than that of a total abstainer: and also that the life of the drinker is shortened liy decades, where the non-drinking man ' s life is pro- longed. Tliat its use is detrimental to clear thinking may be proved by the biisiness man who finds that when he is under the influence of liquor his mind will iiot act in such a way as to enable him to take care of his business. Even though these facts are generally recognized, a large part of society clings tenaciously to the use of alcohol and tries to create about the saloon an atmosphere of refinement. It is no longer a rendezvous for rough, deliauched men: it has l)ecome the restanrant-cafe, with an orchestra, where even venturesome ladies may with propriety drink in public. Do we expect our future legislators, authors, ministers and reformers to come from this class of society? Our truth-loving citizens would be disheartened if such were the case. It must not be so. If this should prove true, (Uir nation would lie as the setting sun, bedimmed with the clouds of infamy, iniquity and debauchery. In our colleges and imiversities, Avhere reside the men and Avomen AA ' hcse influence is going to tell in the morroAA ' , this reform movement must have its strongliold. College men are already realizing this fact. As one leading college student has said, Every intelligent man recognizes that the trend of the times is toAvard the abolition of liciuor, and the country is looking to the college men to take the first step in moral and economic issues of this character. And Bryan adds, The college man exerts far more than average influence on the thoughts of the country. jMany college students liave caught the vision, and from their united efforts has resulted the institution InioAvn as the Inter- collegiate Prohibition Association. The purpose of this institu- tion is the preservation of college men from the evils of intemp- erance and the training of men and Avomen to battle successfully against tlu- ah-ohol menace. The Association is designed to influence them in the period Avhen character and principles are crystallizing, and to instill into theii ' liearts and minds a hatred for that Avhich is blighting humanity and giving rise to an un- limited number of civic, economic and social prol)lenis. In our colleges and universities are the nu i and Avoiiien avIio can fill the gap Avhich alcohol has made. We are needing real incu to fight tins evil, men Avho arc iiu)ved l)y convictions and are Page Seventy-three] Aurora ' If propelled by a love for mankind. As from the eartli eainc the cry of Abel ' s l)lood, so from the nation eonies a cry for men. To this cry the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association is responding ' . It is putting forth the effort to produce men wlio will go to oui ' legislatures, jury-boxes, pnlpits and platforms capable of tlnvart- ing the plans of the liquor interests. Long have we needed men who woidd see more than just an individual at the bar, though tluit should be sufficient to stir a nation. The Intercollegiate Prohibition Association wants men who see the human race writhing in the shakles of this awful serfdom to strong drink, and who are determined at any cost to go and free it from this state of helpless bondage. Away with tlu ' evil that makes father ' s lowei ' than tlie beast, and our iiiotliers less re8i)eeted than the canine family. Away with the evil thnt blights the minds of ouj- sons and daughters so that they eaiuiot rise to noble manhood and virtuous woman- hood. Down with the follower and propagator of this evil and up with the man who has become acquainted with its methods of robbing mankind. Not until the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association has pro- duced competent men for the responsible positions of life, can it say that it is doing the work which it has been called to aceom- l li li- JESSE BROWN, Acad.

' God - hath spoken once; twice have I heard this, that power belongeth unto God. ' ' He hath made bare his holy arm. And all the ends of the earth shall see His salvation. During the past Aveeks the Lord has been speaking in Olivet : and the echoes of His voice shall be heard even unto the utter- most part of the earth. He hath bared His holy arm, and all the nations of the world shall feel its mighty power. In the years that have past since the University was founded in this place, a volume of prayer has been ascending to heaven on its behalf. And the Lord barkened and heard, and a book of remembrance was Avritten before him. Last spring and summer, when the University was in correspondence with pros- pective students, each letter that went out from the otfice was accompanied by a prayer. That God had hearkened was evident from the beginning of the school year ; that He had sent students who knew how to pray and to believe God, and that He was ready to do exceeding abundantly, became more and more apparent during the opening weeks of the semester. Some of the first indications of God ' s presence Avith us Avere the unusual missionary interest which seemed to pervade the school, and the fresh revelation which some of the students received of the inevitableness of God ' s AVord. They emptied their pocketbooks for the cause of missions; and, with utter abandonment, they threw themselves on the promises of God, believing implicitly that according to tlieir faith it should 1)0 unto them. On the niglit of tiie :jlst ol ' October ;i uuiiihcr of young lucu students met in one of the cImss rooms and spent the most of the night in Avaiting before the Lord. The folloAving ] Ionday — the regular L ' niversity holiday — Avas set aside as a day of prayer. In the evening, at the Students ' Band INIeeting, the Spirit of the Lord fell, and some of the scenes of Pentecost Avere re-enacted. Many Avho have been long in the Avay, and Avho have seen Avonderful manifestations of God ' s power, declare tluit they have ncA er Avitnessed anything that can compare Avitli the glory of that holy iiight. Conviction fell upon the unsaved; and their groa(ns ascended AA ' ith the prayei-s of the saints like incense to the throne of God. Great Avas the joy among the hosts of heaven as the Recording Angel Avrote doAvn a number of ncAV names in the Lamb ' s Book of Life. O sing unto the Lord a ncAV song; for He hath done marvel- ous things: His right hand and His holy arm hath gotten Him the victory. ' ' In the services that foUoAved the Spirit of the Lord Avas present to convict of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, and at the same time to give to the saints a fresh vision of the powei that there is in the l)lood of .J( sus. Tlun e Avas no evan- gelist; nor Avas there need of one. The revival Avas characterized by praise i-ather tlian by i)reaching. Thanksgiving to (foil was the dominant note in eveiy testimony; and an insuppressible s])irit of praise Avas manifest at all times. M ' lie testimouies were marked by uinisual le])th and I ' ii-huess and fi ' eedoiii. Indeed, it Avas demousti ' ated to our entire satisfaction that the glofions liberty of the children of (lod is ;i beautiful reality, and an inheritance which lie has designed Uw e eryone nf llis children. Tin- si ii ' it of |)i ' aise which was present in evei-y mei ' ting Avas the one element of uuit ' : and e ' en this uiauifestcd itself in a Page Seventy-seven] Aurora ' IT variety of ways : at times the people shouted with a great slioiit when they praised the Lord; at other times they found partial vent for their feelings in singing over and over again Bless the Lord, my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name; again they marched ' round and ' round the (duipel both singing and shouting, while the glory of the Lord flooded the place ;iiid converted it into a veritable Bethel. Not only Avas there vaination in the form of pi-aise, but also in the character of the different services. One evenino- there came to our chape! a lady from Fituian, who was suft ' ering from cancer, and who had been informed that if she would live she nnist have an operation. She had heard reports of the Avonderful meeting at Olivet, and came believing that God Avould hear the prayers of the saints and heal her body. Nor was she disappointed. Her request was but the prelude to other requests. One young lady, who has a call to the mission field, and who has been suffering so keenly from nervous trouble tliat it seemed she would he obliged to give up her Avork here and go home, was instantly and marvelously healed. Another Avho has been actively engaged in the service of the Lord and has suffered for years from a bodily affliction, Avas AvonderfuUy restored to health. The enemy had tried to make her believe that she could serve the Lord better by triumphing over disease than by being healed. But the moment the annointing oil Avas applied to her head she felt the thrill of the divine touch go through her body and immediately she was made Avhole and glorified God. In addition to these there Avere several other cases Avhere faith in the atoning blood of Jesus, the One Avho Himself took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses, brought instant relief from clii ' onic disease. Still another type of service — a type which is not generally popular — was the giving service. It is worthy of note that during the revival the shouting Avas just as loud and the people apparently as ha]:)])y iji giving to the Lord as iji receiving from Him. Shortly after the ojxMiing of the University some of the stu- dents began to pray for several automobiles, to Ije used solely for evangelistic purposes. They expected that the Lord was going to send them, luff Avere doubtless surprised that He sent them so speedily. One evening, at the beginning of the service, a student arose, stated his conviction that money for one automobile might be raised in that meeting, and Avaited for the response of the audience. Promptly it came; one individual after another arose and gave his pledge, not grudgingly, nor of necessity, but cheer- fully and Avhole-heartedly. Very soon one automob ile came roll- ing in, then a second, then a third. Approximately $1,400 Avas raised in a single evening. 0 sing unto the Lord a ncAv song, for He hath done marvelous things. A fcAv nights later there Avas another service someAvhat similar to the one just described. It Avas announced that a young lady Avhose home is in Olivet, and Avho has long been looking tOAvard the mission field, AA as ready to go brt Avas hindered by lack of funds. Such an announcement Avas all that Avas necessary. The audience responded Avith its usual promptness, and in a fcAv minutes had given the equivalent of about $700. One girl student passed over a Avateh Avhich had been her father ' s Christmas gift to her several years ago ; another gave a watch Avhich represented a mother ' s love; another gave the amount AA hieh she had been saving to buy her mother a Christmas gift. These people are surely beloved. As to the results of this marvelous revival, some are very ol)vious ; Init the real results Avill not be knoAvia until Jesus coniep. [Page Seventy-eic-ht m mivH in the clouds of heaven ' Avith power and great glory. Then, when the Great Book is opened we shall know what this marvelous outpouring of God ' s Spirit has meant to the world. Some of the students have been called to the mission field, others to preach the Word in the homeland. Among the latter there is numbered a beautiful young girl who long resisted the wooings of the Spirit, but who was finally constrained to yield herself to the Lord. Those who were present on the night when she first beheld the Lamb of God will never forget the scene. During the entire night the enemy battled for her soul, but our God was the conqueror. His right hand and His holy arm hath gotten Him the victory. ' ' We would not leave the impression that the revival is at an end. It is still a reality in the hearts of the students and the citizens of this place; it is spreading through all the country ' round aboiit Olivet ; and, by way of the throne of God, it is reaching to the uttermost parts of the earth. Surely in the last great day, when all the nations of the universe shall stand before God, many from the east and the west and the north and the south shall, as a result of this meeting, hear the Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom pre- pared for you from the foundation of the world. Then shall we cast our crowns at Jesus ' feet, and break forth into the triumphant song which shall fill earth and heaven: All hail the pozvcr of Jesus ' iiauie! Let angels postrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all. PROF. FLORA REID. I ' aj- ' f Scvtnty-nme I Aurora ' IZ Sousa II Old Camp Meeting Pump Wanted— A Man Mustaches [Page Eighty Aurora ' If Jpraypr PRAYER is the sincere desire of the lieart ; the language of the sonl, the communion of man with God. No subject is more talked of, written iipon, or discussed in religious circles than the subject of prayer ; and yet, I presume, there is none upon which there is so much theorizing with as little practice. The subject of prayer is of vast importance, so deep, so sub- lime that I hesitate to write upon it, since I feel so thoroughly convinced that human language is inadequate to describe the communion of the soul with God; when one of the inspired Titers of the Holy Book in speaking of this communion says The Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered , it makes one feel as if he were rushing in where angels fear to tread. The necessity of prayer is clearly set forth by the words of Jesus when he said Men ought always to pray and not to faint ; and by the apostle Paul in his first epistle to the Thessalonians, Pray withoiit ceasing ; and again Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be known unto God. The worthies of all ages have recognized and shown forth its importance and have sought to obey and to please God by pouring out their hearts in prayer to Him. Among the many who are mentioned in the Bible we call attention to Elijah, whose success on Mount Carmel in prevailing with God for the cessation of rain and again for the sending of rain was so remarkable as to call forth its mention in the New Testament (James 5:17); and to Daniel who prayed three times a day, although the practice brought upon him the wrath of the king and exposed him to the danger of becoming a prey to ravenous beasts. Our l)lessed Master has given us the best example of the prayer life. His faithful earnestness in prayer, no doubt, moved His disciples to entreat Him to teach them to pray. He often prayed all night. He prayed in Gethsemane till sweat like drops of blood came out on His precious face. His marvelous prayer for His disciples and for all Christians (John 17) was the pouring out of the very essence of His heart. As it has been intimated elsewhere in this article, there are but few, we believe, among those who profess to pray, Avho really pray. Many say prayers, — go over a few, or perhaps many words, well-chosen words, too, from a grammatical or rhetorical standpoint, rush into the presence of God as if to say, Now, Lord, I really haven ' t time for this because of other conflicting things, but as it is my duty, I will endeavor to give thee a little time. Then they make a fcAV brief statements with their minds and hearts set on other things, get up from their knees, and hasten on to other tasks, flattering themselves that they have prayed. Surely the great tender heart of God is grieved by this sacrilegious mockery. We sincerely believe that this is why God does not do things for us. His AVord says, The effectual fervent prayer ' ' - ' ' availeth much. ' ' So if all that is called prayer Avere true prayer— eft ' ectual, fervent prayer— there is no telling Avhat the Lord Avoidd do for the Avorld. While prayer is indeed a duty it should embrace far more than mere duty. To succeed in prayer we must in a sense lose sight of duty and pray because of the love Ave have for it, because of the joy that comes to us from getting close to the Lord, knoAving that it pleases Him for us to pour out our hearts to Him. As the poet expresses it : [Page Eighty-two m mwH Alone with God, the world forbidden, Alone witli God, blest retreat! Alone ' with God, and in Him hidden, To hold lu ' th Him communion sweet. ' Tis there I find neiv strength for duty. As o ' er the sands of time I plod, I see the King in all His beauty, While resting there alone with God. As the vegetation is revived by a refreshing- shower after a day of scorching heat, so is the heart refreshed and the life enriched, the experience invigorated and the bnrdens lifted by prayer. Temptations loosen their grip, clouds of heaviness dis- appear, the song tird renews its warbling in the discouraged soul, hopes once blighted are restored, joy like a river and peace pass- ing understanding come as a resrlt of real prayer. Prayer, to reach the ear and the heart of God, must be pure. By this we mean it must be so intense as to exclude all other things, all other attractions. One should not merely mark time — that is, Avatch lest he spend a few too many minutes before the throne. But prayer should — and true praj ' er will — so engross the heart and mind that the supplicant will forget all surroundings, and be so lost in the glory of His presence that time will not be taken into account. But when he goes from the presence of Jesus he will go reluct- antly, with his heart leaping for joy, his face all aglow, and his mind enraptured as was that of Moses when he came down from the mount of (iod. The men Avho have blest and shaken the world have been men of prayer, men who have stained the very walls of their closets wath their breath while at prayer, men who have calloused their knees waiting before the Lord in effectual, fervent prayer. E. M. Bounds, in his Preacher and Prayer, says What the church Jieeds today is not more machinery or better, not new organization or more and novel methods, but men Avhom the Holy Ghost can use — men of prayer, mighty men in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but men. He does not anoint plans, but men — men of prayer. Again he says, Prayer makes the man: the nian — God ' s man — is made in the closet. A British officer, on hearing Washington at prayer one day in that memorable winter at Valley Forge, said of him: If there is a man Avhom God Avill hear, it is Washington, and it is useless for Britain to fight against tliese colonies who have this man as their leader. that we might be such earnest prayers — such men of prayer, so tenacious in our holding on to God, so much like the great pattern of our salvation in our devotion that the foes of righteous- ness — the Avorld, the flesh and the devil — Avould feel concerning us as this man felt concerning Washington ! To become men and AA omen of prayer Ave must pray ; to learn to pray, Ave must pra.y. When once Ave are given the spirit of prayer, it is as in the ease of other things, developed hj use and practice. The injunction in Peter ' s second epistle, GroAv in grace, and in the knoAvledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, might be applied to this phase of our Christian duty and privilege. GroAV in prayer (having received the spirit of prayer) and in the ability to prevail Avith God in prayer tlirough our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. C. A. BROWN, Bib. Col. ' IT. Page Eighty-three] Aurora ' 17 01|f Srahtf b ®fatl|er THE time is past Avhen Tineducated men and women can successfully cope with the problems of life. We liave records of some of our g-reat men, such as Jackson, Clay and Lincoln, who had practically no educational opportunities, but who, in spite of their limitations achieved undeniable success. The secret of their greatness lies in the fact that they made the best of every opportimity which presented itself. The conditions of the present time are very different from Avhat they Avere when these men lived. Then there were few pul)lic high shools. The course of study was limited to Avritlng and arithmetic, and the term was very short. Society was not complex. People lived in close contact Avith nature. Poverty Avas the rule, and there Avas less dishonesty and graft. But that pioneer life has almost disappeared, noAV people tlock to the cities for livelihood in factories and shops. Conditions are so changed in the various aspects of life that every phase of it demands pro- fessionally-trained representatives. No longer can the doctor or the laAvyer enter upon the practice of his profession Avith little more preparation than being able to read medicine or laAV. If every vocation of life calls for experts, then Avhy should not society demand professionally-trained teachers? The demand is great enough. The dift ' iculty lies in the fact that the ])iiblic has heretofore failed to realize the importance of the demand. P ut the awakening has come! This is shoAvn by the school systems Avhieh Ave have today. This is Avhy State Univer- sities and Normals are erected. The progress has been slow, liowevfr, and it Avill take some time yet to overcome completely th - inniiciice of ciistoni and tradition, and to realize the perfec- tions tr, var-d whi -li avc are striving. Still the outlook is encourag- ing. Soeiety has seen the hopeless failure of those who go into the schoolroom merely to keep school and to hear recita- tions. It recognizes the need of real teachers— those who have been trained and tlmronghly e |uij)ped for their profession. This need Avill be readily apparent if we accept Jacotot ' s definition of teaching: To teach is to cause to learn. This is •ery simple and plainly spoken, but it contains a volume of meaning. If the teacher is limited by his knoAvledge of the sub- ject taught the pupil Avill be at a disadvantage. Any normal child can master reasonably Avell the contents of a book Avithout instruction. But this is not sufficient. His mind needs training along many lines — such training as only the real teacher is capable of giving. By a real teacher is meant one Avho is professionally trained. This includes scolarship, Avhich is Love of truth for truth ' s sakp, ' ' or ' ' PoAver to think. Teachers are not born, but made ' ' says one Avriter. If this is true, it evidently takes effort on the part of the prospective teacher to reach the highest ett ' iciency Avhich his calling demands. A slothful pupil rarely makes a scholarly teacher — and scholarship means more than the mastery of a course of study ; it means a mastery of one ' s self— the forma- tion of strong, noble character and the cultivation of high ideals. As has been said the child is a l)undle of instincts; he is easily influenced for good or bad in a short time. Consequently it is of the utmost importance that the teacher should constantly exert over him a Avholesome uplifting influence. There are, more- over, several other things Avhich the teacher in training Avould do well to consider. He must cultivate a pleasantness- and cheer- fulness of disposition which shall be the victor in many a school- room conflict. The successful teacher needs a strong personality, which may be developed by facing duty cheerfully and never [Page Eighty-four m mxvit sacrificing- principle; hy Juiving a definite plan and purpose in view, and lidding steadily to that purpose until the object is gained. He should also realize the importance of child study. The teacher ' s relation to the child is not merely a legal one. In a very large degree the teacher is related to his pupil as a parent to a child. He must not only be zealous for the child ' s education, but for his physical and moral condition as well. The greatest factor in dealing with the child is love. AVhile it requires wisdom, tact and firmness, these nvail but little if the virtue of love does not predominate. The teacher must love the unlovable child as Avell as the lovable. Without this love there will be continuous strife and misunderstandings in the school- room. Having thus completed the course of study which involves scholarship, child study, development of a strong character, and of gentle, cheerful and wholesome personality, the teacher enters the schoolroom. His training has given him an enlarged vision of the possibilities and responsibilities of his position. He now enters upon a different phase of the teacher ' s work, which includes organization, management, instruction, training and discipline. Why does not the teacher need special work? There is need of great skill and good common sense to organize a school in such a way that every part of the organization will work harmoniously with every other part. 0; - schools dn not need keeping, they need to be managed. On the teacher, also, rests the responsibility of making tlie work interesting and beneticial to the [)ii])ils. The iiisti ' uetor must, in each recitation give his pupils something which will build up their store of knoAvlcdge. He should, morc() c-r, con- stantly aim to quicken their ambition and to iiisi)ire in tlieiri a real love of learning, and a taste for the highest and best. This may be in part accomplished by making the pupils ' surroundings attractive. The schoolroom, which the teacher has made cheerful by wholesome pictures, decorations, and the work done by the pupils, and by cleanliness, inspires them to neatness and orderliness. So not only is the mental developed, but the spiritual as well. It is here that the teacher ' s greatest responsibility lies. He is doing work for eternity. By his godly mtliience and sobriety an impression is being stamped upon the hearts of his pupils which Avill aid in making them noble men and women. He hf)lds up a standard of intelligence that makes his pupils appreciate education. He lives the noble life of a Christian, Avhich influences them to live the true life. So the one entering the schoolroom as teacher should not treat it lightly nor regard it alone as a legal contract. It is a high calling if properly considered — a profession worthy of the best training possible. Our system at present is Aveak, but Ave see CAadences of improA ' ement, and are looking forward to the day Avhen not a school in our laiul Avill be occupied by an ui- rpialified teacher! The demand for traiiu ' d teachers is becoming more insistent, and society must meet this demand by sending into oi:r schools teachers Avho have been trained, not poorly educated boys and girls from the common ])ublic schools, not high school graduates Avho ai ' e ignoi ' ant of the principles of teaching, not college boys jiiid girls, although they may be equipped Avith education, but professionally-trained teachers — those Avho have chosen the jiro- fession, and consider it as a sacred trust; those avIio ai ' e pro- ficiently trained for their line of Avork as the laAvyei- or doctoi ' is for his. We must have professionally-trained teachei-sl ELLEN LANIIAM, Acad. ' 17. Pape Eighty-five] Aurora ' 17 iJr. and Mrs. Hayncs and Jean Musing Jolly Skaters An Accident ? ? ? ? ?

The magnitude and perpetuity of our obligation to love are set forth in the immortal stanza of Isaac AVatts : But drops of grief can ne ' er repay The debt of love I ozve : Here. Lord, I give myself aivay, ; . ' Tis all that I ean do . . It is by thvs devoting ourselves to God that we may hope to discharge our debts to man. Fully to pay our dues is to treat our neighbor with just consideration: to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar ' s; and to God the things that are God ' s. Not only at Gettysburg, but on numerous other great battle fields of the world men have been found willing to offer their fortunes and their lives for their country as a last tribute of devotion. Within a period of three years billions of money and millions of men have been sacrificed in the great European confiict. Nor is there any doubt in the thoughtful mind as to what the attitude of true Americans would be should a foreign foe invade this land and menace the life of our nation. So sensitive is the general pulse on questions of national safety that even in times of peace the per capita appropriations for service in the army and navy are nearly three times as great as those for teaehijig scbool. We do well to appreciate loyalty and to cherish the true spirit of liberty, and to cultivate songs of patriotism. Long live The Star Spangled Banner, Bed, White and Blue, Battle Hymn of the Eepublie, and America ! May their inspiring notes con- tinue to stir and thrill the hearts of future generations. Great as is the debt of patriotism, it is encouraging to note the disposition on the part of so many, to pay it in full. The obligations of fear, or respect and honor are not so generally nor keenly recognized. Young Americans could learn some valuable lessons and find some excellent examples in China and Europe on the subject of parental respect and reverence for rightful authority. Indeed, the Bible itself is replete Avith instructions and admonition on these lines. In the middle of the Decalogue we have the keynote sounded in these words: Honor thy father and thy mother, accompanied by the promise of long life to such as obey. The Avriter of this paper has been cheered and gladdened not a fe ' , ' times by meeting young people whose consciences have been quickened on the matter of parental respect and Avhose delight it was to obey and honoi- their teachers. It is noteworthy that the celebrated document which we call the Declaration of Independence closes with the words: And our sacred honor. By so doing, the framers put hoimr above fortune and esteemed it more sacred than life itself. Surely when Avorldly people and holiness ])eople conu ' to rightly value their woi ' d and lumor they will not rashl - run into debt, nor lightly regard their pledges ti p;iy, noi- treat with iiulifference calls to public ])enefactions. Why not estalilish a high code of honoi ' ? Let it apply nut only in mnnctary affairs, but also in social and cducatinn;!! matters. II is entirely possible to create in a conniuinity a moi ' al sentiment so normal, so healthy, Page Eighty-seven] Aurora ' 17 t and so strong that all ignoble acts must pass under the innnediate ban of public disapproval ; and tlie prevailing condition lie that of co-operation and good order. Such a thing as theft was almost unknown in the early days of California, when the local Vigilance Committee was the supreme law of that land. In more senses than one each man is his brother ' s keeper. AVe are coming more and more to estimate character by what people do rather than by Avhat they say. It is the humble life, the simple life, the transparent life, that is, after all, the truly beautiful and eflt ' ective life. Not long ago a Christiaji gentleman, who resides in Olivet, made a deep and permanent impression for good upon the mind of tliis writer by a simple, gracious, and outright gift of valuable property to Olivet University. Evidently motives of duty and helpfulness prompted the voluntary, but much-needed gift. It was the spirit of the donor that so greatly enhanced the value of the gift. Our fathers were keenly conscious of their duty to transmit unimpaired to their posterity the Christian institutions which were secured to them at such great cost. What greater hope or nobler aim, or more vital claim, can inspire us than that of making permanent, and Christ-like, and world-Avide the influence of our dear 0. U. ? Do Ave not now stand at the flood tide of opportunity? Why not seize it and move on to spiritual fortune? Hoav?

Aloreover, every man OAves certain great obligations to him- self. He should have a conscientious care of his body, Avhich is the temple of the Holy Chost, and strive to preserve it in a state of vigorous health. Students at school, missionaries on the field, ministers in the pastorate, and men of various secular call- ings frequently fail in their undertakings because they neglect to care propei ' ly for their bodies. Was it not Dr. Francis Way- land Avho said The one Avho eats so much that he cannot study, sins against his soiil, and he Avho studies in such a manner that he cannot eat, sins against his body. Then there is upon every- one the supreme obligation of keeping a conscience void of ott ' ense. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have bold- ness toA ard God; and AvhatsocA ' er Ave ask Ave receiA e of Him, because Ave keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight. And this is His commandment that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as He gave us commandment. PROF. H. E. WARNER, A.M.

The Declara- tion of Independence had brought separation from England, and now the Constitution was to bring union among themselves. The spirit, genius and eonstitutent elements of the Constitu- tion, as outlined in the preamble, if applied, would forever set our fair land free from the cursed liquor traffic. ' ' We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity and promote the general welfare, do ordain and establish this constitution. Here the government of the people and by the people steps to her imperial throne. To determine the virtue or vice of such a business as the saloon, we In-ing it before the judgment bar of the constitution and see if it lie opposed to the principles on which this govern- ment is based. If foiuid innocent of crime against the constitu- tion, we endorse it and bid it all prosperity, but if found to be a violation of the constitution it has no right to exist. If we grant such business a right to exist by oiir votes and party principles, we are legalizing that which is contrary to our constitution. Arraign the licensed saloon before the constitution, and let us await the verdict. Does the licensed saloon aid in the forma- tion of a more perfect union ? ' ' The saloon is a veritable incubator of malicious crimes, the breeding place of lawlessness and anarchy, the home of debauchery and murder. Can such havoc, such devastation be conducive to a more perfect union? Does any honest man dare to say that it is? Remove all limitations: give the saloon full sway; then see the super-structure of law, yes, and the very foundation of our government crumble to ruin. Does the saloon assist in the establishment of justice. It does, if justice consists in wringing from the nation its life-blood, in dissipating society, and degenerating men to enrich the brewer. Yes, if tlicre is any justice in housing the drunkard by a Avarm 1iresi(h ' and casting his wife and babes into the street. Can justice be tlius accused? No! In God ' s name, no! The saloon knows no justice. Who, under the canopy of Cod ' s great heaven, w ould argue for its justice? Does the saloon insure domestic tranquility? View through the court the panorma of the ceaseless throng of those seeking divorce ; read the daily accounts of murder, number the suicides, hear the cry of the fatherless and the destitute, look upon the tears of wretchedness in American homes. Trace the origin of all these atrocities to this diabolical evil, and then say the saloon insures domestic tranquillity? The saloon is the arch-enemy of tranquillity. Does the saloon promote the general welfare? The verdict in the negative has long been forced from the quivering lips of the public. We have been unable to close our ears to the groans of the victims, and our eyes to the sight of the millions, stagger- ing under this awful ban. All too well we knoAv its fate. How could an enterprise that cost us millions of dollars annually in caring for criminals, housing the insane and protecting the poor, promote the general welfare? No man has ever shown how it could do so ; no man ever will. The saloon and its interests are diametrically opposed to the general welfare and inevitably pitted against it. Hence the saloon opposes the very principles of the constitution on which our government was founded, and is a viola- tion of the preamble. Therefore, the saloon is unconstitutional. Next, arraign the licensed saloon before the Supreme Court of our nation. Twelve times this great tribunal has declared that no man has an inherent, inalienable, or natural right to sell intoxi- cating lic|uors. It has declared that no legislature can barter awaj ' the public health and morals. That the saloon does bar- gain health and morals Avoiild be refuted by no honest man. Twelve times has the Supreme Court of our Nation declared that the saloon has no constitutional or legal rights to exist. Therefore, before the Supreme Court of our Nation the saloon is unconstitutional. [Page Ninety m mxMtt O. U. Fire Ucpartment Pony Express A Familiar Sight Lanphcr Landing .foy -Aziu; ,, Ur.

Aurora ' 17 Having shown that the saloon is iinconstitntiojial, it iimst f()]h:)W that our nation is doomed if we do not exterminate this insidious foe which is threatening to usurp our American liberties. Our constitution is so framed, that abiding by the |)riin ' i|)lcs therein laid down, the American people have been able to build the strongest government the world has ever known. The per- manence of a nation depends upon the maintenance of riglit governmental principles and that maintenance of the government depends upon the strength of its manhood; then that whicli Aveakens manhood weakens the government and consequently dooms the nation. No clear-thinking person would dare say that that which sears the conscience, impairs the judgment, Aveakens the Avill, vitiates the affections, inflames the passions and corrupts the Avhole moral character does not Aveaken manhood. Today Avhile the church and kindred institutions are trying to make men God-like and lift them heaven-Avard, the saloon is snatching multitudes from the very horns of the altar and drag- ging them to destruction. American manhood being thus assailed, our government is imperiled ; therefore, our government and the saloon cannot both survive, one must eventually be destroyed. Which shall it be? The decision can and must be made by the American people. Shall Ave longer permit oiu- government to say to the saloon, Share Avith us your profits and AA e Avill license you to exist although your existence does mean our death. As patriotic citizens, are Ave Avilling that our nation be brought to destruction by this poisonous vine that has entAvined itself around the oaks of our national prosperity? Is it not high time that Ave awake to our ol)ligation and fill oiir halls of legis- lation and other places of responsibility with real men. Men with pure hearts, true faith, strong minds and ready hands; men whom the lust of office does not kill and the spoils of office cannot buy. Men Avho can stand before demagogues and defy their treacherous flatteries. Tall men, sun-crOAvned, Avho live above the fog in public duty and in private thinking. With such men in office, throughout our land there shall be no more u dninkMrd, and no more an immoral, illegal and lui- I ' fKjsl i1 m1 ioiijil sahion. Fiii ' thci more, if ( ' hristiaii America cannot dispose of this nauscatiiig bildge-water in our glorious ship of state, then the sliip must sink and the whole luunan race be doomed. The way in wl ich the hiiiiiaii i-ace has been a ' ijle to jjrogress has been that a rural and frugal fragment, still undegenerate, when decedent empires fell, l)roke aAvay and migrated to other lands, ' i ' hcy could not go bade eastAvai ' d ovei ' the ashes of oldei- cmiiircs, noi- could they I ' cuiain and build up a new em- l ii-e in the midst of laiin and degeneracy, and so the Star of Empire Avest.Avard has made its way. Suppose America should go doAvn before this destroyer, Avhither Avill the rural and frugal fragment of America go to start a new empire? History leaves no hope to go back eastward ; there is no longer any AvestAvard. We have reached the shores of the last ocean. In America, the Star of Empire moving Avestvvard finishes the circle of the Avorld. In America, Ave are making the last stand of the human race. If this insidious foe cannot be conquered in young Am- erica, it cannot in any of the older and more degenerate nations. If America fails, the Avorld Avill be undone and the human race doomed. The character of this fate is our prerogative to determine. Although the saloon may entrench itself behind technicalities, and may prolong the conflict, yet Ave shall Avin. The Avar is on as never before, the battle Avages hotter, the saloon must go. America must be saA ' ed, then, I beseech you, Friends, by the heart-rending agonies of outraged motherhood and AvidoAv-hood, by the shiA ' ering forms and pallid cheeks of countless hosts of helpless orphans, aye, by the very AA ail of despair that bursts from the heart of the living dead, marshal the forces of sobriety, virtve and right; and Avith the unsheathed sword of your citizen- ship — Avhieh is your ballot — march forth in the strength of your manhood to an uncompromising Avar against our country ' s most dangerous foe; and so sure as God is God, and right is right, to you shall be a most glorious Auctory.

Lines to a chimney We saw thee first in thought foretold; We felt thy need thru chilling breeze; V e raced with time to beat the cold Altho at times we ' d nearly freeze. What matters-if thy coming late Doth force us to the Coal Oil Stoves; Serene, we blow our nose and wait, For hopefulness oft hath it ' s woes. The little Chimneys on the Hall - Doth envy thee, each passing day. Because they are so very small No Band for them-would dare to play. Then too, no merry maids or boys - Would gather ' round in romp and glee To view such tiny chimney toys When thou art near to see. We welcome thee, a monument; Not of the dead in cold and gloom. But of good cheer, as heat is sent - To warm us in our every room. Look bravely ever toward the skyi Belch forth thy smoke in volumes boldl Produce thy heat - appease our cry, And shield us from the winter ' s cold. And thus, if thou wilt make a truce. If thou wilt ever give us cheer. When we, our Annual shall produce, In it thy picture shalt appear. Then, on good faith, before the crowd. When all the town shall plainly see,- Our sign: NO SMOKING HERE ALLOWED Shall not apply to thee. Whip up, whip up that plug coal man I Fire up, fire up ye fireman boldl Get up ye lazy students and - You ' ll find your rooms are free from cold. Smoke on I - Pour out thy clouds of blackl Fear not the winter ' s chilling blast - Thy fuel supply shall never lack While Sharon Mine shall last. Oscar J. Raiser.

' hich, though exceedingly small, being cast into the ground grew, and became a great plant, and spread its leaves, rank and broad, so that huge and vile worms formed a habitation thereon. And it came to pass, in the course of time, that the sons of man looked upon it, and thought it beautiful to look upon and much to be desired to make lads look big and manly. So they put forth their hands and did chew thereof. And some it made sick and others to vomit most filthih . And it further came to pass that those who chewed it became weak and unmanly, and said: We are enslaved and can not cease from chewing it. And the mouths of all that were enslaved became foul ; and they were seized with a vio- lent spitting ; and they did spit, even in the ladies ' parlors and in the house of the Lord. And the saints of the Most High were greatly plagued thereby. And in the course of time it came also to pass that others snuffed it, and they were taken suddenly with fits, and they did sneeze with a great and mighty sneeze, insomuch that their eyes were filled with tears and they did look exceedingly silly. And others cunningly wrought the leaves into rolls, and did set fire to the one end thereof, and did suck vehemently at the other end thereof and did look very grave and calf-like; and the smoke of their torment ascended up like a fog. And the cultivation thereof became a great and mighty business in the earth : and the merchants wa.xed rich by the commerce thereof. And it came to pass that the professed saints of the Most High defiled themselves therewith ; even the poor who could not buy shoes, nor bread, nor books for their little ones, spent their money for it. And the Lord was greatly displeased therewith and said, Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord. Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh. Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you.

DANVILLE, ILLINOIS HERENDEEN ' S FRESH-LOAF BREAD Made from GELATINIZE D WHEAT FLOUR FLAKES THE HERENDEEN PATENT PROCESS Produced by For over a quarter of a century Mr. Charles Herendeen has been a student of various processes of fermentation, and thi-ough his active etfortis has perfected a process of treating wheat fiour for bread-maldng that it is a benefit to humanity. The Herendeen Patent Process gelatinizes the starch in Avheat iiour, whereby fermentation in bread-making is shortened, consequently the short period of fermentTation required insures good, sweet, uniform bread. According to scientific proofs, the bread is more easily digested than by any other process, as the flour treatment rup- tures the starch cells, v hich during fermentation period are converted into sugar and maltose, making almost a pre-digested food product very beneficial to the human system. HERENDEEN ' S FRESH-LOAF BREAD being free from an excessive amount of starchy properties will keep fresh, moist and palatable longer than bread made by any other process.

DEDICATED TO Paul 3. iMonre Three cheers, three cheers for our Paul F. Moore, That Danville man so versed in chicken lore. Thrice welcome evermore to ramble o ' er our campus briers, Is this generous Knight of Yellow-Leeeed Friers. He came, he saw, he conquered, one and all, By gifts of breasts, gizzards and wings without e ' en a squall. Between him and our hungry set be there ne ' er a wall, To divide in dormitory, chapel, class room or hall. Long and grandly may our Paul wave but never waver. Before no foe may he ever quaver, May the quack of every duck bathing in its laver, Impress all buyers at home and abroad with favor. May his chicks, ducks and geese fatten in every pen, And bring increased prices in multiples of ten. May none die of roup, gaps or limberneck, not e ' en a wren. But each and all grow and spread forth like an old setting hen.
