“ The Thinking Bayonet ”
Recall the dictum: “ It’s the thinking bayo
net that wins w°rs.” Thought!—how powerful
is thought! Quiet, noiseless, silent, it solves
problems with no tumult, no shouting, no clamor.
For. like the fable, thought shall silently accom
plish, in its mild, shining way, what the fierce
and blatant tempests of thoughtlessness have
in vain essayed- To foster thinking is to foster
progress and power- Think! think! conquer!
We are fortunate indeed to have among us
such a fine array of teachers, —all encouraging
thinking on the part of students —all lending
their efforts to the development of wholesome
and sound thought habits. Morehouse is fortu

the students, —that not only the students shall
have those larger conceptions and those finer
sensibilities, but that they themselves may find
the completer and fuller life. “Live to explain
thy doctrine by thy life”, is a fine saying; and
such seems to be the attitude of these devoted
friends. To develope character is their aim.
That students should see life clear and should see
it whole, is their hope.

gave his life and love to the cause of helping the
darker brother,—we pause by the side of Thad-
deus Stephen’s greatest of American parliamen
tarians lover of liberty and advocate of fratern
ity. As fine as were the motives of such men as
Garrison and Summer, nevertheless, they often,
in their zeal, did more to dampen and becloud the
