FRESHMEN PREPARE
FLORDN
By Vaco Lyle
Scerimmages have been the ma'n
menu for the Georgia Frosh team
thig week in preparation for their
third game of the season Friday
afternoon against the Baby Gators
of Florida ‘n Jacksonville.
Over two fu’l teams will be
taken by Coach Gene Smith on
the trip. They will leave Thurs
day morning and arrive on the
scene of the battle some time
Thursday night or Friday morn'ng,
They hope to arrive back in time
to see the Homecoming gamz with
Tulane here Saturday.
The freshies will attempt to an
nex another victory to their credit
on the Florida invasion. They
won from the Mercer freshmen
two weeks ago but lost a tight |
game to Clemson a day later b_\'l
the score of 2 to 0. Accord'ng
to reports, the Junior Bulldogs
outplayed the <lemsonites but
could not muster Ihe punch to
push over a touchdown.
Several boys are showing up to
advantage on the firet vear team,
however it is not our purpose to
try to pick out individual stars
and give them pra‘se without ever
seeing them play in a regular
game. In the scrimmages, Rose,
r.ynn, and Woodall at tackles hav
been doing some good play‘ng.
Leathers, Bennett, Duncan and
Matthews at guards look good from
the outs‘de. Maddox is getting in
some mighty good work at center,
Timmons, S‘ms, Smith, and Ham
ilton look the best at the f{lank
positions. Mell and Moran have
the lead as signal callers, Pat
terson and Gellis seem to be We
best ground-gainer for the fresh
jes. Chandler is do'n~ some good
passing and defensive work, as
well as Roberts, Gaston, Perfumo,
and several others.
Only two injuries are reported
on the squad at present. J. C.
Bryant is having trouble with a |
sprained ankle, and Sternoff, full.

What the Scottish Clergy

After They Got Power
(Continued Irom page one.)
clergy is mainly to be ascribed
to the fearlessness with which
they came forward as leaders as
the people, at a period when ‘he
post was full of danger, and whel?
thé upper classes were ready to
unite with the crown in destroy
ing the last vestiges of national
liberty. :
Nnly National §
“And it was but natural ‘that
the spiritual classes finding them
selves in the ascendant, should
conduct the contest according to
views habitual to their profession,
and should be anx‘ous for relig
fous advantage~ watwar than for
temporal benefits. For upwegls
of a century their exertions swup
ped all intellectual culture, dis
couraged all independent inquiry, |
made men in religion fearful and
austere, and coloured the whole
national character with that dark
hue, which, though now gradually
softening, it still retains. Indeed,
the Scotch, by the middle of the
seventeenth century, had grown
accustomed to look up to their
m'nister as if he were a god—
This intense desire to hear what.

ed countrymen. It is not sur
prising that the clergy, who, at
no period and in no nation, have
been remarkable for the'r meek
ness, or for a want of confidence
in themselves, should under cir
cumstances so eminently favorable
to their pretensions have been
somewhat elated, and should have
claimed an authority even greater
than that which was conceded to
them. They, when assembled to
gether, formed what was called
the Kirk-Session, and this I'ttle
court, which enforced the decis
ions uttered in the pulpit, was s 0
supported by the gsuperstitious
reverence of the people, that- it
was far more powerful than any
civil tribunal, By its aid, the
minister became supreme, For,
whoever presumed to disobey him
was excommunicatéd, was de
prived of his property, and was be.
lieved to have incurred the penalty
of eternal perdition.

gselves the personal control of his
household. To speak disrespect
fully of a preacher was a griev.
ous offence, to differ from him
was a heresy; even to pass him
ifn the streets without saluting
him, was punished as a crime.
His very name was regarded as
gacred, and not to betaken in vain,
“Indeed, they could hardly have
«been otherwisd] seeing Mhat it
was ~enerally believed that who
ever ga‘ns aid the clergy, would
be visited, not only with temporal
penalties, but also spiritual ones.
The preachers willingly fostered a
delusion by which they benefited.
They told their hearers, that what
was spoken in the pulpit was bind
ing upon all believers, and was
to be regarded as immediately
nroceeding from the Deity”.
Thus did the Protestant Sco -

had wrested from the nobility.
