Scholar at the Colonial Sunday The men's service, held at the Co lonial opera house last Sunday after noon, that was addressed by Mr. E. C. Mercer, accomplished so much good and aroused such deep interest on the part of the men assembled there, that the rel j ious committee of the ■Young Men’s Christian Association feel very much concernd about the meeting that is to be held Sunday next at the Colonial. They feel that the strongest man possible to secure, who would be able to deliver an address to men that would be clear and convincing and inspirational, was the man needed, and they have invited as the speaker for that occasion Rev. M. A. Jenkins, who for two years was pastor of the First Baptist church in this city, and who has consented to deliver an ad dress on the subject, “Facing Life’s Inevitables.” Dr. Jenkins is one of the most at tractive speakers to men in this south land. He is a wonderfully gifted and scholarly preacher, and he knows the needs of the human heart, and is able to bring a message from the Word of God and from the heart of the Heav enly Father that has help and strength in it for men. The religious committee of the Young Men’s Christian Associathm ia very anxious that a large attendance of men be present Sunday to hear thia gifted man of God. The meeting will be open at 3:30 by an orchestral concert and at 4 o’clock the service proper will begin. The Georgia Day exercises were held in the University chapel today at o'clock. Rev. C. C. Jarrell of the First Meth odist church led in prayer. Col. C. N. Swelling then made a few introductory remarks introducing the speaker of the day, Miss Mildred Rutherford. In 1838 William Rutherford grad uated from the University of Georgia taking an A. B. degree. Eighteen years later Prof. Rutherford accepted EPTING'S PROFIT SHARING SALE IS A HUGE SUCCESS University. Miss Mildred is the daughter of this man and there is no southerner more devoted to the south than she.” Col. Snelling closed his introduction , by saying that he first entered the Uni versity more than a quarter of a cen tury ago as assistant to Prof. William Rutherford. Miss Rutherford spoke most enthu siastically of Georgia. I am never enjoying myself more than when speaking to Georgia boys and girls about Georgia. Most heartily do I commend the work of “Georgia Club” at the State Normal School con ducted by Prof. E. C. Branson. Study your own state. Know about all the great men and great deeds that Geor gia can boast of.” Do you know why Gen. Oglethorpe organized the colony now known as Georgia? It was the only one of the 13 colonies that was founded in an unselfish spirit. Their motto was, “Not for themselves, but for others.” It was the only military colony. It was the only colony that had a “vagrancy act.” It ruled out liquor and also slavery. Not because it thought there was any wrong in having slaves but because slaves were inducive to lazi ness. Georgia was the first to maintain an orphan asylum. It will be found that Georgia was one of the mo3t pa triotic of the colonies. By patriotic Miss Rutherford had a great deal to say as to religious patriots, home patriots and patriots of our country. “The United States is the world*! United States greatest asset. Georgia is the greatest asset of the south. The greatest asset. The south is the University of Georgia is the grey est asset of Georgia. And Athena is the greatest asset of the University. Be patriotic. Be true to your state and to your country; to your own the chair of mathematics in the Uni- home place. Be loyal to .the flag that versity and served 33 years. No other man gave himself more freely to the floats above Miss Rutherford then spoke of the history that are taught in the schools. History’s that are not true, that al low to go unrecorded, deeds of un- recoitled heroes. She says that she hopes the coming generation will be patriotic enough'to have these histo ries ruled out of the schools and only the truth of the “War Between the States” be taught. Miss Rutherford told of the seal and of the flag of Georgia. She spoke of woman’s part in the making of Georgia history but said she did not believe in woman suffrage. A great many interesting facts were told by Miss Rutherford, one among these being that rhe first char tered woman’s college in the world, Wesleyan Female College in Macon, was started right here in Athens, In the University chapel. That is where the idea originated and the first pres ident of Wesleyan was a graduate of the University of Georgia. Miss Rutherford told many interest ing anecdotes and facts about the great men of Georgia. She closed her address by telling Georgians “to know your own state and to be ready to answer any ques tion concerning it.* Miss Rutherford is always a charm ing and an interesting speaker, and al ways speaks to an appreciative audi ence but today in talking to the boys and girls of our state she truly has I megn love and loyalty to God, to j said many things that they will re home and to country.** member all through life.
