Prof. Tom Ethridge, principal of
the high school at Richland, Ga.,
spent the Thanksgiving holidays at
his home. here. He was present on
Friday morning at the chapel exer
c’ses and made a splendid talk to the
student body. It is always a pleas,
ure to have the eld Perry-Rjainey boys
with us and to hear them tell of
things that occurred here long ago.
Last Thursday, November 25, was
a great day at Christian College. On
Wednesday evening the student body
met in the living apartments of the
Dean and his good wife, Mr. and Mrs
W .A. Chastain, for a few hours’ of
social enjoyment. The young people
seemed to be at their best and heart
ily participated in the different
games appropriate for the young m a n
and women of a Christian Institution
About 10:30 the serving of light re
freshments closed the social pro
gram of the evening and the student
body dispersed. , <
Thursday morning dawned clear
bright and beautiful and a very touch
ing sun rise prayer meeting in the
auditorium marked the beginning ol
a thanks-giving program long to be
remembered in the town of Auburn.
The services had be~n announced tc
take place in the College Auditorium
at eleven o’clock but later the plan
to have a union s ?rvtice at the Meth
odist church and to invite the facul
ty and student body was conceived
of by Esquire J. O. Hawthorn, Supt.
of the Methodist Sunday school. The
college bell called the students to
gether about ten o’clock and in line
we marched to the church.
Mr. Hawthorn was master of cere
monies and the exercises were sim

pie and inspiring. The services con
sisted of Scripture reading, songs,
prayens and brief talks. Afetr a con
gregational song, Scripture reading
and prayer a fewl introductory re
marks were made by Rsiq. Hawthorn,
who made a donation of half the land
on which the College buildings stand
and who is a staunch friend to edu
cation. After these remarks many
brief but strong speeches* wiere made
by those present, both professors,
students and citizens. Old men,
young men, old women and young
women expressed themseives freely
and in a pleasing manner; some wer<
in their first thanksgiving service
others in the first they had attended
away from home, but aftl agreed that
they had never been happier on a
similar occasion. These talks were
interspersed by selections from the
college quartette which were greatly
enjoyed. The citizens of the town
and community, including the mem
bers of the churches were cordially
invited to meet at the college for a
similar service next yiear. The ben
ediction by Etsq. Hawrthorn in which
it developed that this was the happi
est day of his life was at v ry touch
ing one and a fitting close to the
service.
When the faculty and students re
turned they found in the spacious din
ing room of the college a spread
which would suggest the most devout
thanksgiving to God and to our col
lege friends. The large turkeys, the
cranberries and the celery were fit
tokens of the generosity of Judge T.
O .Hathcock and Mr. H. M. Patter
son of Atlanta, two of our faithful
trustees of the institution. At the
close of the meal a member of the
student body, Mr. Mark Anthony,
gave an appropriate toast to the Dean
and his wife writh whom he had been
associated from the first of July in
preparation for the college opening.
Following Mr. Anthony’s speech and
the appreciation by the I>ean for him
self and his wife many of the appre
ciative students took the hands of
this couple and gave expressions of
gratitude for their sacrifices and earn
e3t efforts in behalf of the students.
At 2:15 o’o’ock the college bell
again called us together. This time
for a “bike” to Flanigan’s Mineral
Springs five miles away. The compa
ny on returning at night fall tired
and hungry, were ready to “mob”
their fellow students who had made
them believe the distance was only
two and one-half miles to the springs
After suprer we conducted our union
prayermceting in the dining room
and retired to our rooms to rest our
wearied bodies. Thus closed a happy
but strenuous program of the first
thanksgiving day at Christian College

“The College of Quality.’*
First Baptist Church.
Entirely too little is said these
days from the pulpit concerning the
glorification of Christ. Regeneration
should not be stressed less, nor
should we devote any less attention
to Justification and Adoption and
Sanctification, hut the glory of the
Savior ought to be recognized at ev
ery possible point or Christian expe
rience.
Not outward magnificence nor
public vindication hut the cross was
what ep pealed to Jesus. Nelson was
made Nelson by Trafalgar, Christ
became Christ in a peculiar sense
at the Cross. The glory of Kitchener
came at Khartoum, the' glory cf
Christ at the Cross.
Immorality, like a great black
cloud, Wangs over our country. One
tenth of the commandments were
pronounced against impurity of life.
Hundreds of thousands of young men
are going to pieces on the treach
erous shoals of adultery and hordes
of our young giHs are being dragged
down into the pit of impurity thru
ignorance and lack of proper warn
ing.
Henry Ward Beecher says: “Puri
ty suffers more from the silence of.
shame than from the honest voice
of truth.”
Sunday services:
11.30. “The Glorification of Christ"
7.30. A special sermon to young
men, but needed by all on the
“Strange Woman.”
Be sure and come to both servi
ces and bring your friends.

The Baraca class will have its
monthly social evening at th© First
Baptist church next Monday ©waning
at which time several short address
es will be delivered by members of
the class and P*rof. J. P. Cash will
speak to the class and refreshments
will be served. All members of the
class are urged to lay aside all busi
ness and attend.
Observe the Warning.
A cold that promises to “hang on
all winter” is to be dreaded. Prompt
action should be taken at the first
warning of a cold —sneezing, chilli
ness, slight shivering. Foley’s Honey
and Tar makes quick work of colds,
coughs and croup. It clears air pas
sages, stops coughing, eases difficult
breathing. Sold Everywhere—Advt.
