No one can tell what will happen next. Saturday night, a quilt, belonging in the upper region-s of the hall, sud- denly disappeared and as mysterious- ly reapppeared on the scene again. The young men held a party, Satur- day night, which was attended by about twenty-three of the progressive and lively boys of the dormitory. A parade was put on, which for some unknown reason attracted attention from the third floor and caused heads to hang over the railings, bursting with wonder. At the conclusion of the parade the boys met in the lobby and discussed at some length the formation of a club for the boys resid- ing at Hoffman Hall. A number of speeches were made, and a committee appointed to draw up a consttation. 'lhe meetingthen adjourned to meet again Monday evening, but owing to the lights being low the meeting was not called until the following day. But no definite action was taken. The committee will report in a day or 'two with the constitution ready for accep- tance. Jack Byrd still eats as much as ever. His favorite desert is apples.

The Young Woman's Auxiliary had their first regular meeting on Thurs- day, October llth in the Mathetrop- ean Hall. There were 15 members out of a mf-'nbership of 24 present and several vis7tors including Mrs. Elliston, our counsellor. The program committee evide-ntly worked hard at their job for they had an excellent program arranged, the subject being The Girl and Her Bible. and every girl responded readi- ly with her part. But say, we missed YOU at our meeting. Did you forget that the slo- gan of dear S. W. B. C. is Train the trinity. the body, mind, and soul. This should be the slogan of each in- dividual young woman as well as the slogan of the school. Avail your- selves of every opportunity girls.

Mother Thomas and the girls at Thomas Hall have decided to have ev- ery Saturday evening from 7:30 till 10 o'clock set aside for a social time. All the girls will stay at home and entertain any friends who wish to come to the Hall, or whom they wish to invite. The guests will be entertained by a short program and games. It is reported that Miss Florence Myer is slowly recovering from the wounds she received the other day when she tried to smash the glass out of the door with her fist. Miss Myer's Wounded wrist is extremely inconvenient as she can only- manipu- late one hand and has a hard time getting her share of the eats, Myrtle Scott at dinner table- Now girls, you may be excused if you'll quietly pass away. . It seems that various spirits took advantage of the absence of lights Monday night, for numbers of them were seen executing a snake da.nce1 around the dining room at Thomas Hall. Lights for the occasion were furnished by candles. I I Spirits?! O, it was just the girls getting impatient for their supper. Myrtle Grant spent the week end with her parents in Morrisville, but she was back at the dormitory for breakfast Tuesday morning and con-' sumed her usual quota of seven bis- cuits.

CContinued from last weekj Our trip in reaching Gothenberg, was without any particularly interest- I ing event, save one night there was a very heavy fog. We came into it sud- denly, as if it were a wall, and after the fog horn had sounded, and aroused IJITIOS-Q everybody on board the boat, the boat suddenly stopped. Many peeople moved up on deck.. I under- stand that there were thc se who rival- led, in apparel, the Queen of Sheba. There was a good deal of restlessness. You could hear them prancing around on deck, but I wasn't interest, espe- cially, and I just kept my bunk. Next morning, I discovered that there had been considerable excitement. The fog suddenly lifted, and out quite a distance they discovered a boat on ire, and immediately some of the most hys- terical planned methods of rescue for the people. They ran to the cabins and aroused soire of the others who in bed, and several scores of the peo- ple came on deck. and some were quite frantic, I am told, when, lo and behold, after a few moments the moon came up and smiled at them over the hori- zon. But that is the way of the land lubber. There are some rather unique experiences. I had never been on a boat larger than the lake boats of our own country, and only then a few times. I didn't have sense 'enough to make arrangements for my bath with bath steward. Being very, very anxi- ous for a salt bath. I hastened out the first morning I was on board the boat, and went to the bathroom, and I rang the bell, and nobody showed up, and I had to stand in that place until I was so encrusted-talk about stiffness! I was a real 'autocratic preacher! But I didn't feed any fish, on 1ny trip. I didn't have a moment's unpleasant- ness, so far as sickness was concerned. I had a chance to laugh at a good many folk. It isn't kind to laugh, but I wonder if you know how that thing works? You watch a fellow. and he screws up his courage and tells every- body he is feeling bully, and he puts on airs and sits tight. Pretty soon, he gets a little pale around the gills, and still he swears there isn't'a thing in the world the matter with him. And then he begins to turn a beautiful pea green, and then he gets like Pat-he can't hold anvthing on his stomach but his hand! He makes for the rail. and nine times out of 'ren doesn't get there. We reached Gothenberg all right having passed through the entrance in the North sea. While in Gothenberg, I had the privilege of preaching at the Bethel Baptist Church, through the pastor, who was an interpreter. It was there that a thing happened that I mentioned in a personal letter to Mrs. Miller, which was afterward pub- lished. and which has been the occas- ion of numerous letters from all over this section of the country, asking me I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .

I found that the so-called ton- gues movement is quite general in Sweden. At the close- of this service in the Bethel Church, a man in static attitude, a face that was as fixed as if it had been moulded in bronze, stood there and spoke. There was no parti- cular excitement about it, but there was something peculiar about it. I thought it was part of the response in the closing of the service. The pastor was my guest at dinner that day, and he mentioned the incident and said. I suppose you didn't understand that, did you? I said, No, but I didn't understand much of anything else, either, except my own statements. CTO be continued next week.j i I I I I I I City Barber Shop 4th Dioor West Polk Co. Bank.

MILLER DISCUSSEI3 RELIGIOUS CONDITIONS ABROAD. . CContinued from last weekj He said, That man was -speaking in tongues. You know, we have the gift of tongues here.. A year ago, I was given the power of interpretation. Now I am not going to say an irrever- ent thing about it. I am going to say that in that country it has been the occasion of a good deal of d'sturbance, and some churches have been divided over it. Suffice to say that one of my personal friends, who is a missionary in America among the Swedes, has spent three ' months visiting the cnurches of Sweden. and 'this mission- ary tells me that if the interpretation or 'tongues be correct, and if we can depend upon the interpreters' speak- ing with any degree of accuracy, those who speak in tongues contribute noth- ing whatever to the value of things religious. It is usually some very simple, almost meaningless, testi- mony, and while they say they do not understand it, it makes no particular contribution. I am thoroughly con- vinced. that Paul knew what he was talking about when he said that ton- gues should cease, and we had a thou- sand times better speak one, two or three words that people can under- stand, than ten 'thousand that 'they cannot understand. This pastor said, Now, I dont' know what language this man spoke in ,and he doesn't know. I just know that I can inter- pret. Now I will only say th's, that so far as my own observation is con- cerned, I do not consider that the ton- gues movement has anything what- ever to contribute to the welfare rof the religious life of an intellgent peo- ple. I have no Ciuarrel with the man who wants to believe in tongues, but so far I am not convinced as to its value. They have divine healing in that section of the country. and this man said they had many evidences of miraculous power in healing, and yet there sat in his church a woman so crippled with rheumatism that it took three people to bring her in and three people to take her out, and when I said, How is it that this woman is I I I I I I We have some snappy Overcoats for you this fall at 3 . surprisingly low price.

I am not saying that He does not heal. But I do believe with all my heart that 'we are misinterpreting that-statement I I I in James where it says to use oil and pray. I wonder if you know that these were the medicinal remedies of that day? And I think James wishes -to say, It is a iine thing to use well- known and useful remed'es, but don't stop there-pray. I believe God would have us use every :intelligent means for the correction of physical ailments, and for the cure of disease. I actually believe that people really do get sick. I don't believe it is mortal error or-a mere delusion. I knew a divine healer in my town that for a long while was a Baptist deacon and turned divine healer, and that fellow believed that sin and sickness was a mere delusion, until one day he had cramp colic, and he sent for a doctor --.-1-.
